Extension talk:IssueTracker

I've followed the installation instructions and when I add to a page I get a very long string that starts with: "@ENCODED@PHN0eWxlIHR5cGU9InRleHQvY3NzIj4NCmRpdiNpc3N1ZUZpb"

This is with MediaWiki 1.11.0 and PHP 5.2.5
 * This issue should be fixed with r63, another problem occurs if you use a version containing only one '.' like 1.13alpha. The author didn't fix that yet, but I sent him a proposal. --Osai 13:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * 11 March 2008: Encoding Issue

Hi, yes, I'm aware of this (thanks Osai) and I'm trying to implement a solution for the latest versions of MediaWiki. To fix this manually, you can update the IssueTrackerAction.php file.

File: IssueTracker/Actions/IssueTrackerAction.php Line: 269

Change: return $this->_processOutputEncoding($output); To: return $output;

I've added the ParserAfterTidy hook to fix the encoding issue in MediaWiki > 1.11.2. The ParserAfterTidy hook is available from version 1.5.0.
 * 11 March 2008: Encoding Issue Resolved
 * Nice job. And it is working very well, here is a live demo, I'll probably have a closer look at the styling, maybe you could add a super class 'IssueTracker' to apply custom styles using CSS. Best Regards, Osai 23:37, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Feature Request
Great extension, I love it! Keep up the good work on it!

I would like to make a request/suggestion for a "Comments" capability on each issue. I would try to modify it myself to manage that but I'm not quite proficient enough with the code. Could this be done?

Would be Nice if it is possible so see old/done issues.

Wiki markup
I think that the Summary filed should allow wiki formatting. --DCLXVI 19:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Some thing about "archived

 * It's seem to having some situations.
 * Once a issues be archived, it's can't be search.
 * How to change a archived issues to other status.

Add Mail function
It will be better if this extension can send email to a user when a issues assigned to him or something changed in the issues like Todo Tasks.:-) --Roc michael 17:10, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Add Priority
The one item missing from making this a very useful tool is the ability to set a priority. The default would be blank, but then the list should be at the very least 1 through 10. If I can I'll try to make the modifications myself to see if I can make it work and submit it for review. --cvtrig 02:24, 19 April 2008 (PST)

Special Page fix
Thanks for the great extension. I particularly like how your MVC framework lets you run everything on a Special Page instead of at the issue tag.

However I needed to make a few tweaks to get it to work with multiple projects ...

Index: IssueTracker.body.php

With these changes you can use Special:IssueTracker/. There is still an issue with the i18n bits; it doesn't seem to work when the name of the special page is different from 'IssueTracker' - hence the change in the i18n file.

Just installed it
On Ubuntu 8.04, and it looks great!

I recommend it to be built into Wikipedia by default. 76.28.255.165 08:26, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Bug with multiple issue trackers on a page
I have created several pages with multiple issue trackers. It is sort of a meta tracking page. It works great, but when you add a new issue, it creates an issue every issue tracker on the page, with the exact same content, into the one issue tracker.

Supporting more than one issue tracker on a page should be a supported scenario.
