 * 29 August 2008: IssueTracker vs Issue_Tracker

Produkt Version MediaWiki 1.13.0 PHP 5.1.2 (isapi) MySQL 5.0.51a-community-nt-log Windows 2003

On my System the IssueTracker Appears on the specialPage wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Issue_Tracker  (note .. with underline)

but if i klick on add the wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Issue_Tracker the underline is removed

wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:IssueTracker&bt_action=add

...

I searched in the files .. i only found a IssueTracker but no Issue_Tracker!



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

When will version 1.1 be available. I would like to have the email feature.

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)

I've followed the installation instructions perfectly. However, when I click on the "add" link to insert a new issue all I get is a blank white page. I do not receive any error messages either. Is there a known fix for this? Thanks, Dave Dchou 04:12, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 19 November 2008: Unable to add new issue

I figured out that within IssueTrackerActionAdd.php it references the SpecialListusers.php file, which can't be found. Is the SpecialListusers.php file supposed to be included in the Issue Tracker download? Thanks, Dave Dchou 23:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 20 November 2008: Unable to add new issue - UPDATE

I had the same problem mentioned in 20 November 2008: Unable to add new issue - UPDATE I figured out that within IssueTrackerActionAdd.php it references the SpecialListusers.php file, which can't be  found. Is the SpecialListusers.php file supposed to be included in the Issue Tracker download? Thanks, Dave Dchou 23:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * November 21, 2008 - ME TOO

I found that SpecialListusers.php is in wiki/include/specials. The path used in IssueTrackerActionAdd.php doesn't get there. you can copy SpecialListusers.php to the extensions/IssueTracker/Actions folder, or fix the pathing in IssueTrackerActionAdd.php, line 119 from

/** @see SpecialListusers **/ require_once 'SpecialListusers.php';

to something like

/** @see SpecialListusers **/ require_once '/includes/specials/SpecialListusers.php'; /*Fix Line, this doesn't work*/

I'm a PHP newbie, so still figuring out how to make the path correct, but copying the special page into the actions folder is functional workaround. Someone tell me if you can recomend the correct PHP for the line above? --Janunson 13:31, 21 November 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?


 * --Kethra 05:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

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.


 * Yeah..  I agree! This IssueTracker would be far more useful if you could "unarchive" issues!

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)

Has this been added?

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.

I try to install the IssueTracker extensions, after I add the "require_once $IP . '/extensions/IssueTracker/IssueTracker.php';" line to my LocalSettings.php file, I get a blank white page as my main wiki page.

I get log entries like so:

Warning: require_once(/www/Interactive/extensions/IssueTracker/Models/IssueTrackerModelDefault.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/Interactive/extensions/IssueTracker/IssueTracker.body.php on line 3

Fatal error: require_once [function.require]: Failed opening required '/www/Interactive/extensions/IssueTracker/Models/IssueTrackerModelDefault.php' (include_path='/www/Interactive:/www/Interactive/includes:/www/Interactive/languages:.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /www/Interactive/extensions/IssueTracker/IssueTracker.body.php on line 3

Any suggestions?

Major Bug/Glitch
I was unable to add a new issue or search for issues, it seems theres a glitch or something going on here. . the bug is already mentioned here on this talk page. Issue_Tracker vs IssueTracker

I tried to find the line in the code myself with no luck.

In the current trunk version of the Special page for Issue Tracker has a glitch that causes the php includes to point to an "invalid special page".

While trying to use this from a tag in an article causes

PHP Error Message

Warning: IssueTrackerActionAdd::require_once(SpecialListusers.php) [issuetrackeractionadd.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/$user/public_html/wiki/extensions/IssueTracker/Actions/IssueTrackerActionAdd.php on line 119

PHP Error Message

Attachements how to?
1. How can I add attachments in the edit window?,

2. If somebody post issues and then if the solver want to guide then how to do? May the solver need to edit the window and reply? Its mean issue submitter always need to check issues. is it possible to make the highlights if there is new messages in the issue then issue submitter easily know there is new message in the issue.

Version 1.1
Is version 1.1 available for download. I would like to have email and attachment capabilities. Thanks

Ver 1.1
How can I download version 1.1??? Please help me...


 * Yep, me too. I contacted the author, let's see if he answers. --Michaelaye 17:32, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Install error
Hi. I've just checked out the repository (at phpimpact.com) and followed the instructions in the section Installation. I restarted Apache, and create a new, empty page, with " ". When saving, I get this error:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfLoadExtensionMessages in /var/lib/mediawiki1.10/extensions/IssueTracker/IssueTracker.body.php on line 39".

Any idea? Thanks, --Florent (2008-11-22T01:45:00+02:00)


 * -> UPDATE WIKI VERSION? i had the same error until upgrade wiki upto current version. It could be because of some functions or objects (for example $wgExtensionMessagesFiles) is introduced in later versions then you have ...
 * I think extension-info-label for IssueTracker needs to be updated too; it says that minimal version needed is "1.9.0 or greater" but here we see that it needs at least "1.11.0" (for $wgExtensionMessagesFiles). <_<
