A look at project administration in BugNET 0.8

By admin on Thursday, March 13, 2008

In BugNET 0.8 the project creation / administration has been vastly improved so that you may define many of the previously hardcoded values. Most notably these hard corded values were the status, resolutions, issue types and priorities. Although these values may work perfectly for some, it is not viable for all projects or issue tracking methods to be forced to use these.

With the new project administration functionality, you are now able to define virtually all values in the drop down lists. Below we can see the edit project screen where we are editing our Test Project and have chosen to edit the statuses for this project. In addition to adding, editing and deleting values you can choose an ima ...

The future of 0.7 and what is to come in 0.8

By admin on Thursday, November 29, 2007

BugNET 0.7 is now entering a maintainence mode, which means that only bug fixes will be in subsequent 0.7 releases. All new features will be tackled in the upcoming 0.8 release which is well underway.

On the development front the solution will be upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 but will remain at version 2.0 of the .NET framework until the further adoption of 3.5 by online web hosts. I am hoping to get a preview version of 0.8 out sometime this month, which means I will not be focusing on upgrades from 0.7 to this new version until a later point.

Some features that are to come / already complete:

Next Release Update

By admin on Monday, October 08, 2007

Some people may have noticed that the issue tracker at support.bugnetproject.com was upgraded to version 0.7.881 that has not yet been released to the public.

The next release is a bug fix release but there are a few more issues to complete that will delay this release for a short while. This combined with the recent Canadian thanksgiving holiday and myself getting ready for a vacation to Scotland has left me with no time to work on the remaining issues.

Expect the new release to be out at the end of the month or shortly into November after my vacation.

What's next?

By admin on Thursday, August 16, 2007

It has been quite a while since I have given any updates but the project has not been idle.

Before we begin, just a quick note that the site may be down tomorrow August 16th, 2007 8pm EST for 3-4 hours due to my hosting provider having an outage.

There are many issues, new features and improvements to address and it seems new ones are reported almost daily. Over the last past while I have found time to complete some of these issues but also add some great improvements to the BugNET application.

Categories

One of the improvements I am sure is most welcome is categories can now be renamed from the administration area. In addition to this I ha ...

May Development Update

By admin on Saturday, May 26, 2007

It has been a month since the last update, it is spring and the weather is nice. It has been hard to keep visual studio open for a decent amount of time lately but I have managed to fix a few major outstanding issues from the last release.

I will try to package these changes up very soon (within the week) and put out a new release to keep the application moving forward.

Edit

Recently DotNetNuke (DNN) has release their latest version of the Wiki Module. Currently this website is using the beta of that module but there is not a supported upgrade path to the new module which is a complete rewrite and contains much more funtionality. I will be looking at how , even if i ...

New Styles required for Documentation Hi Davin, Thanks for the new styles for the WIKI pages. Please can you create a style which we can use on this page. http://www.bugnetproject.com/Documentation/tabid/57/Default.aspx You can see what I have done, but the width is not right and the tag style makes the font too small. (I had to embedd them in an <h3> to get it a decent size). Also check out the TOC on the userguide page.

Subversion and Active Directory integration questionsI just installed BugNET this morning because the screenshots looked great. I must say I'm impressed; it's very slick, responsive, and intuitive. Gotta love an installation procedure that consists of 'go to this URL.' I have two questions: 1. Is there any documentation yet for integration with Subversion? We're building a tracking/versioning system from scratch, y'see, so the Subversion features mentioned here and there would be great to use. Unfortunately, this page is blank: http://bugnetproject.com/Documentation/tabid/57/topic/Configuring%20Subversion%20Integration/Default.aspx 2. Is it possible to use both Active Directory authentication *and* the users created under User Management? I'd like for our developers to be able to access with automatic access for convenience, but still allow our clients and partners to be able to register and log bugs. Based on the configuration documentation, I'm guessing the answer is 'no' but I thought I'd check. Thanks.

iPhone interface for BugNET LIke many people, I have jumped on board the iphone band wagon.   Personally I feel it is one of the best personal devices / phones I have owned. A few weeks ago I started building an IPhone interface for BugNET.  I used an interface similar to diggs iphone interface  digg.com/iphone and you can see below the screenshots of the BugNET interface.    <img width='349' height='508' src='/Portals/0/Images/Forum/iphoneProjects.PNG' alt='' <img width='348' height='513' src='/Portals/0/Images/Forum/iphoneIssuesList.png' alt='' The interface is very basic and isn't very functional but if someone has an interest in taking this further and completing it I can make the code available as I do not have time to complete it.    

When is the next release date Hi Davin, When is the next planned release of BugNet? What will be the version number? Thanks Stewart

Integration into DotNetNuke Hi . Great tool. Is there a way you (or I) could integrate this tool into DotNetNuke portal ? Also.. can it be integrated with Subversion? Regards, Claudiu

Issue WorkflowThere are a couple of features that are missing in BugNet that I have seen in commercial programs that I think would be beneficial. The main one is an Issue Workflow, which makes sure that an issue flows through the system in a predictable way. What I mean by this, is that it will limit what you can see or do depending on what roles you are in. The workflow should be completly configurable. If you are a developer, it might only allow you to select Resolved from the status, and Closed isn't an option. This might be because the person doing testing only looks for issues in the resolved status, and they move it to closed after testing is successful. Or if you are a customer, create a new role called Customer and hide the Assigned To field and Comments, and make the Status read only. This would allow them to see what is important, but not the internal information they don't need, and it would stop them from reopening an issue directly, instead of notifing the project manager and having them reopen it. One way this could be implemented is to expand on the Role security screen, and add an option for the fields to limit. Each field, if it makes sense for that field, will have checkboxes for Visible, Add New, Change, and a listbox to select what values to display. There is another thread requesting a Customer Portal, http://www.bugnetproject.com/Forums/tabid/54/forumid/-1/threadid/1670/scope/posts/Default.aspx, I think the Issue Workflow would fullfill that request as well. At the moment I don't have a lot of time to work on this, but I wanted to put the idea out there and see what others thought. If my time frees up, and no one else has started this, I will attempt to code it. Doug

Requiring custom fieldsI've been trying to make use of required custom fields, but have run into problems. The required fields only seem to be visible on the edit page; not on insert. When users enter an initial issue, I'd like these custom fields to appear there and if required, force an input prior to inserting the issue. As it is now, users are creating new issues and never entering the custom fields. Am I missing something?

SMTP sending problemsDoes anybody know of any reason why if an error occurs, the error handler is able to send an email to me reporting it, but I am not able to send notification emails? The code seems to complete the send, but I never receive anything. Thanks in advance.
