Extension talk:Semantic Project Management

two tiny "issues"
Hi,

I just recognised two tiny "issues":


 * All extensions to Semantic MediaWiki are just moving to a new section on the version list of MediaWiki on Special:Version specially created for them. For consitency reasons it would be nice to see this one there too. I have looked at the source code of another semantic extension to see how it is done there: $wgExtensionCredits[defined( 'SEMANTIC_EXTENSION_TYPE' ) ? 'semantic' : 'specialpage'] Most probably this is not the whole story, but this might give you a first hint for coding.
 * The version is still on 0.3.1 in the code.

I am very happy that this extension has become reality and I a sure that it will be useful. Thank you for your work. I am going to give it a try this weekend.

 * Thanks for your helpful comments! I fixed these two minor issues. I will look at the others in the near future. --Frank 09:57, 30 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Frank, that's great. Thank you! Cheers --kgh 10:10, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

I18N
Hi,

I just saw that not all messages are available for I18N so far. Apart from the name of „Special:Semantic Project Management“ the whole interface is still available only in English. I am sure that this is in the pipeline so please do not feel offended by this post. Actually I just want to convey that I18N is very important for a software to spread and prosper.

mktime
Hi, I have done some testing with this extension and get the following warnings in conjunction with "Real start date", "Real finish date", "Planned start date" and "Planned finish date": Warning: mktime expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /.../SemanticProjectManagement/includes/SPM_ProjectManagementClass.php on line 711 Warning: mktime expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /.../SemanticProjectManagement/includes/SPM_ProjectManagementClass.php on line 723 Warning: mktime expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /.../SemanticProjectManagement/includes/SPM_ProjectManagementClass.php on line 778 Warning: mktime expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /.../SemanticProjectManagement/includes/SPM_ProjectManagementClass.php on line 789 There seems to be a problem with the date conversion, though I am not sure. Cheers --kgh 23:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * After some thinking I have found the cause of the problem. You have to set "datetime" as the input type with Semantic Forms. Perhaps it would be good to let this extension autocomplete 00:00:00 in case not time parameter is entered by the user or the input type "date" is used. Cheers --kgh 23:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * A Workaround for this is to comment the mentioned lines and set the variables manually:

//$endtime = date("U",mktime($time3[0],$time3[1],$time3[2],$time2[1],$time2[2],$time2[0])) $endtime = '00:00:00';

Date format

 * Hi, I strongly suggest to utilise the ISO-style date format YYYY/MM/DD for the output of dates by this extension to achieve better standardisation and even more important usability. Currently it is MM/DD/YY. Cheers --kgh 23:18, 29 November 2010 (UTC) PS I suppose it is better for MM and DD to be zero-padded, e. g. "01" rather than "1". --kgh 00:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, another thing I just realised. In case of the formats week and month, e. g. "11/14 - 11/20/10" gets shortened to "'10". I think it should better be "2010" or "10". Regarding the format week it would be very very cool to get, e. g. "10/46". However, one can overdo it too. :) Cheers --kgh 22:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC) PS One last thing: The first day of the week should ideally be Monday and not Sunday, e. g. "11/15 - 10/11/21" (ISO-standard).

Using this extension
Hi, I have to admit that I failed to get this extension working properly. It has something to do with the attributes connecting tasks with the work package and so forth since only the work package is rendered into the chart and not the connected tasks. A hint how it is done exactly will be greatly appreciated. Alternatively it would be cool if there was a publicly accessible wiki there this extension is running for me and others to see how it is done there. Thanks and cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; 22:25, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
