    • Integrated bugtracker?

    Posted by kai posts: 15 Germany
    There's a wiiiide range of functionality in Tikiwiki and I barely use all of it, but there's one thing which seems to be completely missing: a bug/issue tracker. Or at least I didn't find one. Is it possible to "abuse" a certain feature as a bug tracker or is there another PHP bug tracker which can be integrated (= same layout, same authentication) with Tikiwiki easily?

    Hi

    Just configure the "Trackers" feature, see dev.tikiwiki.org for an implementation of Trackers setup for bug tracking.

    Oh, great, just lost my complete reply, it seems the wiki logged me out in-betweenfrown.
    Anyway, thanks for your answer. I figured trackers were something different, so I didn't check them out. They seem to be more powerful than they seem to be on first look. I read the TrackerDoc page, but I have some problems/questions which aren't explained there. Maybe you can answer them?

    1. what are link item and list items for? Unfortunately, the short options explanation doesn't reveal much. I added a link item, that just added an empty dropdown box. I also added a list item, that added two links to the form: "Insert New Item" and "Filter Tracker Items". But I don't understand how to control these with the available options. (and in the latter case what is the difference/advantage to the filter box?)

    2. I clicked the "Filter Tracker Items" I think when it contained only trackerId as an option and lost all items except the latest one. And each time I add a new item I lose the old item and only the last added item displays in the list anymore. I can display all items temporarily by filtering for "*" in an apprpriate field, but this doesn't reset the bad filter it just changes filtering for one post action. What can I do about this? Actually, at the moment the "list items" feature looks quite dangerous to me if it can do this.

    3. How can I send a notice or mail with the tracker content to the submitting or assigned user? The TrackerDoc says to add a checkbox, but that's obviously not enough, a checkbox doesn't do this by its own.

    Thanks for any answers.
