Membership provider implementation<p>Thanks /Kalle ..... I logged it under <a href="http://support.bugnetproject.com/Bugs/BugDetail.aspx?bid=1114">http://support.bugnetproject.com/Bugs...</a></p> <p>Very useful post.</p> <p>You obvously know what you are doing, but just for the benefit of every one else:</p> <p>Two applications can share membership providers if connections in the two web.config's are setup correctly <strong>AND</strong> you must use the same <strong>ApplicationName </strong>in the web.configs.</p> <p>This is very important as it forms part of the "salt string" in ASP.NET authentication, and it controls the application's view of the users.</p>

Notification Settings<p>In version 0.8, which is close to being released, Davin has completely re-addressed notifications.</p> <p>In 0.8 there are plugins for email, SMS and MSN. (and a plugin framework for developers)</p> <p><a href="http://support.bugnetproject.com/Bugs/BugList.aspx?pid=1&amp;s=0&amp;c=12" target="_blank">Here is a list of current issues with the notification system</a> which we hope to address in the v0.8 architecture.</p>

web.config cannot be accessed problem<p><strong>**FIXED**</strong></p> <p>The directory needed the guest user account assigned to it as well. I know noob mistake !</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Reporting new issue and submitting a patch<p> Thanks, that solved the problem, but only if I <strong>do not </strong>attach any files when creating the issue.</p>

What's the best use of the &quot;Milestone&quot; field when logging issues?<p>Hi</p> <p>I leave the milestone for the triage team - or the project manager/lead, etc to complete after the bug has been analysed not by the person reporting the bug. I let my developers cherry-pick bugs with &lt; 1/2 days estimated time in conjunction with any bugs/features they have as planned work. The milestone then becomes the version implemented in as well as the version targeted.</p>

Success with ORM Tools?<p>Hi</p> <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I defiantly recommend Entity Framework , a very powerful and straight forward implementation of a ORM mapper. The next version 4.0 will be release in Q1 2010 and will be the best ORM mapper on the market, LINQ to SQL is not that powerful as Entity Framework.</div> <div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I have quit lot of experience of Nhibernate but it’s too complicated to configure and I do like the few reference to 3d party assemblies in BugNET.</div>

0.7 to 0.8 Upgrade Script[quote="smoss"] <p>Hi Davin,</p> <p>Just to let you know. I downloaded the SQL files (as per the first post on this topic) and the upgrade script gave no errors on our system. DB looks ok.</p> [/quote] <p> Great , I will try to get the RC ready very soon then.</p>

Reporting Functionality?[quote="gklesczewski"] <p>One of the features that I like in BugNET 0.7 is the Reporting capability. I noticed that it has been removed from the 0.8 code base. Is there a reason the reports have been pulled? And is there a plan for the functionality to be added in?</p> <p>I really like the product, and I am presenting it to management at my employer today. I hope to be able to finagle some time to contribute back to the project.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you for a great tool!</p> <p>Gary Klesczewski</p> <p>Thanks Gary.</p> [/quote] <p>The reports were using the microsoft report viewer which causes numerious problems in a medium trust / host environment so thats why it was pulled. Reports will return eventually and more feedback like yourself will help us decide what reports to build in the future.</p>

Video / Webcast tutorials[quote="smoss"] <p>Hi Davin,</p> <p> </p> <p>I have used Wink for a few years now. <a href="http://www.debugmode.com/wink/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.debugmode.com/wink/</a> <br /> <br /> I think it is better than CAMStudio for a couple of reasons, but the main reason is your output files end up being tiny. I created a 25 min installation video in under 10 megs for one of our software apps.</p> <p>Here are the steps to create a video.</p> <p>1. Capture the video screen then, you load it in the WINK editor.<br /> 2. Remove un needed frames (eg a lot of mouse movements).<br /> 3. Add in nice "callout" boxes to document your actions and put pauses in on the screen.<br /> 4. You can also record audio.<br /> 5. Create SWF file with play buttons etc right away.</p> <p>Un fortunately you need to convert it back to an AVI to upload to YOUTUBE.<br /> <br /> Also which version of BugNET do you want the installer video for?</p> [/quote] <p>Sounds like a great product. Maybe when 0.8 RC1 is released we can do one for that version. The installation will be the same between 0.7 and 0.8 though.</p>

Plugin/ Integration[quote="vistalogix"] <p>What would we need to do to create this integration?</p> [/quote] <p>Some planning for sure. There are a few articles around on how to build a plugin like system in .net. 0.8 has some plugin type systems using interfaces and loads assemblies dynamically if they implement the interface. See the notification plugins for an example.</p> <p>I think a plugin system would raise events at certain points for plugins to handle . ie. Before saving an issue, after saving an issue. etc. and the issue would be passed as a command argument so that plugins could manipulate the issue or do external processing.</p> <p>Here is a code project article on building a plugin system. <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/macros/pluginsystem.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.codeproject.com/KB/macros/...</a></p>

"Security Error" when trying to upload a file.[quote="ben33333"] <p>I did look at the default.aspx code and didn't see any immediate issues. We decided to give up on SAM and moved to regular forms based authentication, so our uploads are working fine now.</p> <p>Maybe it would be a good idea to allow the administrator to choose a standard asp.net forms upload method as an alternative to swfupload. Embedding a small upload form in an iframe for the issue attachments tab would work just as well.</p> [/quote] <p>It seems like most people are abondoning multiple file upload or at least any that use flash when windows authentication is involved because of the bugs in flash for non IE browsers.</p>
