Happy Holidays

By host on 12/24/2009

I would like to thank everyone for their continued support for the project. With the recent release of the 0.8 version BugNET has improved vastly in the previous months to allow users to customize more of the application and use it how they want to. It has been a great milestone to put the 0.7 version to rest and focus all our attention on the new 0.8 release.

Of course, with any new release there is usually a few bugs to fix and we are well on our way to fix these very shortly and keep the releases small and faster. I thank everyone that has reported feedback in changes in the UI and bug fixes. This is very important to help us shape the application to what users want. Also, the new voting feature in the application will help us fix what users want so if you haven't yet register and vote for fixes and enhancements that would like to see in upcoming versions.

Please enjoy your holidays and we look forward to improving the application in the new year.

Some errors in version 0.8.140.0 (RC1)I have the BasePath in my web.config file, but I still get this error. Did I miss something? IIS7 Claic Mode, SQL 2008 Enteprise. BugNET 0.8.167.0 (RC2) Here is how it looks in my web.config: <htmleditorprovider defaultprovider="FckHtmlEditorProvider"> </htmleditorprovider> <providers></providers> <HtmlEditorProvider defaultProvider="FckHtmlEditorProvider"> <providers> <add name="TextboxHtmlEditorProvider" type="BugNET.Providers.HtmlEditorProviders.TextboxHtmlEditorProvider, BugNET.Providers.TextboxHtmlEditorProvider" Height="250" Width="100%"/> <add name="FckHtmlEditorProvider" type="BugNET.Providers.HtmlEditorProviders.FckHtmlEditorProvider, BugNET.Providers.FckHtmlEditorProvider" Height="250" Width="100%" ToolbarSet="Default" Skin="Silver" BasePath="FCKEditor/"/> </providers> </HtmlEditorProvider> <add name="TextboxHtmlEditorProvider" width="100%" type="BugNET.Providers.HtmlEditorProviders.TextboxHtmlEditorProvider, BugNET.Providers.TextboxHtmlEditorProvider" height="250"></add> <add name="FckHtmlEditorProvider" width="100%" type="BugNET.Providers.HtmlEditorProviders.FckHtmlEditorProvider, BugNET.Providers.FckHtmlEditorProvider" height="250" toolbarset="Default" skin="Silver" basepath="FCKEditor/"></add> 

Confirming Notifications?One of my users has suggested that we add a pop-up or other mechanism to confirm notifications when an issue is updated. He commented that the current notification model is very chatty. From his Issue report: When a person adds a comment or saves an issue, there should be a popup window that asks the person if they would like to send an email to the owner and other people assigned to monitor the issue. This option will improve the workflow, cut down on email interruptions due to minor changes to the issue. <o:p></o:p> The lotus notes issue database that was used for the web site upgrade was setup in like the bugnet is now. One of the lessons learned from that project was complaints of too many emails. Lotus notes issues databases had this option added and it improved the workflow and significantly reduced the worktime that was required by the issues manager for processing emails. What would be a good way to handle this? He is suggesting that we add a way to choose who is notified. My first thoughts would be to add a feature where people are notified based on role and field. For example, Developer role would be notified when the status of an issue changed, while QA would be notified on any new comments. This could quickly spiral down into a highly complex notification model if we are not careful. And I wonder what the value add of this would be?

Page Not Found for FCKEditor after installing BN 0.8.167.0The relevant source code for this (at FckHtmlEditorProvider.cs): string basePath = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "/FCKEditor/"; if(config["BasePath"] != null) basePath = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + config["BasePath"]; The problem is that instead of using relative address only for virtual paths it is trying to ask the root address from the system. However Request.ApplicationPath is failing in a lot of scenarios. For instance we have to use very complex DNS re-routing, therefore the HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath property results in a simple "\" every time (so basically useless). I have modified the code to use a simple relative path instead: string basePath = config["BasePath"]; if(basePath == null) basePath = "/FCKEditor/"; // or "FCKEditor/", it is irrelevant from now on, both are site relative This way it will be independent from the enviroment. There are also a similar reference in Attachments.ascx, line 64. Is it possible to fix these in the next releases? Thank you very much beforehand.

How do you search in Title or Description?It is nice to use the quickfind when having an ID#, but most of the times you only know a part of the subject or the description. There is a way to buid a query based on the dropdown boxes, but still not in subject or description. Will this be available in v0.8 final? i am using 0.8.167.0 RC2 Thanks, Colin

How can I create a new query?We are currently using BugNET 0.8.167.0 (RC2). In the menu "Queries" I can find a combobox with "--Select Query--" as single item. I am registered as Admin and Developer. I would like to know how to create a new query but the documentation for this topic is still empty. Any suggestions are welcome.

data migrationHi, any solutions?

Directory Listing DeniedI managed to get BugNet installed but when I access localhost\BugNet it tries to list the directory after I log in. What am I doing wrong?

RC2 - ProjectDisabled in BugNET_Projects tableThanks 

30 min timeout problem re-appeared after upgrade to RC2The old 30 min timeout problem re-appeareded after I upgradefrom 0.7.942 to RC2. I checked my web.config and again edited this line. adding the timeout="300" (300 min) which was in my old 0.7.942 web.config. This fix has no affect this time. I have 4 or 5 users who keep BugNET open for hours. This fix worked ok for them in 0.7.942 but not in RC2. I tested it myself and sure enough, after 30 min I get... <h1>Session Expired</h1> Your session has expired. Please return to the home page and log in again to continue accessing your account. Funny thing is that I am still logged in! But by the above page appearing I have lost all my changes. Anyone have a solution?
