Hi Andrew ... it works!! Yes you were absolutely right - the use of the absolute path fixed it. Thank you so much!
-
Aaah... 'relative path'. No, it has to be an absolute path. There will be something before the /www. Even though your relative root is /www, that is not the absolute root. Sorry, not SE, I meant SELinux. It limits access by programs to certain areas only. I don't think that is your problem.
-
Hi Andrew, still no success - everything seems OK - see attachment. According to support staff of ISP, the relative path has to start after 'www' - however neither define('FILE_BASE', '/webcollab/files/filebase' ); nor define('FILE_BASE', '/www/webcollab/files/filebase' ); will work. What do you mean with SE blocking path? - May be that is the reason?
-
Hmmm... it's the same problem as the previous posts. The code now checks for 'PHPInfo file_uploads On -> On', and gives a different error message. So that must be working. The next check is whether '/www/webcollab/files/filebase', exists and is writable. This check is failing. Are you sure that this is the correct path? No typos? And, can the webserver write to this path? Something like SE blocking the path?
-
Unfortunately, cannot convince file upload to work - Current settings are: PHPInfo file_uploads On -> On //upload to what directory ? define('FILE_BASE', '/www/webcollab/files/filebase' ); filebase directory has 777 credentials Trying to upload a small jpg file results in Error Debug: Hello, This is the WebCollab Project Management site and I have an error :/ Error message: The upload directory does not have write permissions set properly, or the directory does not exist. File upload has not been...

Sorry for the delay - tested with file replacements today - works fine! Thank you!

Bugfix: Type cast 'real' is deprecated in PHP 7.4
-
O.K. the two file attached go into [webcollab-folder]/tasks folder and replace the existing files of the same name. The change is trivial; the type cast '(real)' is changed to '(float)'. (There are also some cosmetic formatting changes since the last release, because I patched against my working tree (not the last release)).
-
Thanks for the quick reply, great. Awaiting the patch :-) Thanks!
-
Thanks for the report. I'll need to patch the file and upload - will be tomorrow. Looks like the same error will occur with task listing. In the short term the error message is harmless and won't affect the program. If you want to suppress the message (until the patched file), temporarily raise the error reporting in PHP config file.
-
Hi Andrew, I am trying to set up a test environment under XAMPP (PHP Version 7.4.21) . After installation I get the following warnings: Deprecated: The (real) cast is deprecated, use (float) instead in E:\xampp7421\htdocs\webcollab\tasks\task_project_list.php on line 388 Deprecated: The (real) cast is deprecated, use (float) instead in E:\xampp7421\htdocs\webcollab\tasks\task_project_list.php on line 394 Deprecated: The (real) cast is deprecated, use (float) instead in E:\xampp7421\htdocs\webcollab\tasks\task_project_list.php...

Hi, Andrew, I was thinking recently, what could be a good improvement for our project/task management routine and realized that there is one, that would be a game changer. I'm talking about recurring tasks. Would it be possible to improve WebCollab to create a recurring task that could be repeated every so many days/weeks/months/years and with an option to set the maximum amount if recurrences or final date. I guess, this would have to be plugged into cron, but I assume even now some of the WebCollab...
-
Is this with calendar or todo? I've actually been quietly looking at this, though it got a bit more complicated. I could not find much wrong with todo, but I found some 'bad' code in calendar. Not buggy code, just poor logic in the code. The calendar code has not been touched for a while and looked fairly messy. So I've ended up doing some major refactoring and efficiency improvements a couple of weeks ago. I did some comparison testing and todo and calendar were consistent with each other. I'll...
-
Hi, Andrew, I had this come up at my workplace again. I noticed another point. If we have this situation: Project (no user group assigned) - Task (user group: Clinical) When no user group is selected, there is a short comment displayed: "This project/task is not part of a usergroup and is accessible by all users." That would mean there is no restrictions for any user to see the project. But for some reason, a member of Clinical user group would see the task in his own calendar although project is...

Yes, I've given enough information that I'm sure you could get someone to assist you with remote access. I provide support via the forums (and bug reports). Generally this is enough to get most problems resolved.

Hi Andrew, is it possible for someone to get remote support ?

Hi Andrew, is it possible for someone to get remote access ?

Go to the file mentioned above: [webcollab]/config/config.php, where [webcollab] is the directory containing WebCollab files. Use a text editor to change the 'USE_EMAIL' value. The file installs with the value set right, so I would suspect that it's been changed at some time. You have to use a text editor. It can't be set within the program.
-
Where do i change this ?
-
I see. You are missing part of the page because email is set to 'off'. In the file [webcollab]/config/config.php, look for this and make sure email is 'on' ("Y") //EMAIL CONFIGURATION //enable email to send messages? (Values are "Y" or "N"). // default is "Y". define('USE_EMAIL', "Y" );

I have added an attachment of what its showing me on the admin config page

Are you getting an error message when users send emails? If so, turn on debugging in [webcollab]/config/config.php /ERROR DEBUGGER //If an error occurs, who do you want the error to be mailed to ? define('EMAIL_ERROR', "" ); //show full debugging messages on the screen when errors occur (values are "N", or "Y") define('DEBUG', "Y" ); Doing this will show, on the screen, all the mail server 'chatter' during the mail sending. If there is no log shown (and no mail received), then either there was no...

Hello everybody, at the moment I am writing my thesis on the topic of "Diffusion rate of open source business software". I wanted to ask if some of you (community) would be willing to do a quick survey. Under the following link, you can conduct the survey: https://www.umfrageonline.com/s/8b5eeb1 You would conduct the survey based on the software "WebCollab". I would be very grateful for any help.

The program default, is to allow a Contact to only be linked to a single project The Contact includes a taskid field in the database. I found a way to allow for multiple taskid numbers by modifying a bit of code. YMMV>>> Re: contact_menubox.php beginning at about line 51. Changed: //get task contacts $q = db_prepare('SELECT id, firstname, lastname, company FROM '.PRE.'contacts WHERE taskid=? OR taskid=? ORDER BY company, lastname' ); db_execute($q, array($taskid, $TASKID_ROW['projectid'] ) ); $add...

Coming back to this issue. I just don't have the needed skills to get this done. I found someone to help however that did not work out.

Hi Andrew... Thanks for the info! This idea falls into the category of "it would be nice, but..." :D I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze. If emails were simply going to a single user, I would definitely invest some time. But I don't know how the emails to usergroups are handled... does the program (at the moment) send out individual emails in sequence, or just a single email to all at one time? In my case, I have a maximum of 10 users, and often less, so delivery speed should not be a concern....
-
The required email addresses are all obtained by a database call. The user names are in the same database table, so could be pulled at the same time (You would have to strip the surname to give only the first name). The issue would be as you say, for multiple users. In this case, an array of email addresses is created with a single message, then sent as a single email (to multiple recipients). To send individualised emails, separate emails would need to be sent, one for each user. Since the software...
-
Instead of the simpler salutation of just "Hello", I was wondering if I could add the first name variable into the lang/en_email.php file so that notification emails would address the recipient by name, like "Hello Norm," ?? It might be do-able when sending only to the owner, but I don't know what would happened when emailing the entire usergroup, whether an array is interpreted with each available name. A small 'feature', but it would be a nice touch. Anyone have any pointers where to derive the...

Andrew, Thanks for the prompt response and replacement file. I installed it, and ta-da... it works great now! It does exactly as hoped! I appreciate the work you've done, and I am enjoying the program. I am hoping our group will take to it as easily as did I. Regards, Norm
-
Thanks for the error message. That does help, it's a bug. Attached file should fix the problem. However it's an embarrassing bug; according to Git this bug was added in 2015 - 6 years ago. I'll change my testing to cover this area better in future. The file replaces the same file in [webcollab]/tasks/. It's a one line change.

I just noticed this error message in the log file, if this provides any clue: PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /blah-blah/members/webcollab/tasks/task_submit.php on line 104

I currently have a Usergroup with 8 users. When the tasks in a project are assigned to only two users in this usergroup, the choices for sending email updates seems to be either to the task owner, or the the entire usergroup, if I understand the choices correctly. If the 'other' 6 users not actively involved with these particular tasks, and woud prefer NOT to receive periodic emails, is there a way to 'deselect' these 6 users and send email ONLY to those 2 or 3 users who are assigned one or more...
-
I have successfully installed WebCollab, and it is working great, except for the ability of a user to edit tasks assigned to another user. I have only one Usergroup configured (so far), and NO Taskgroups (Should I?). In my Usergroup there are 8 users. I have set up a few sample Projects for testing purposes, prior to launching the application within our group. One of the Projects has 4 Tasks, which are assigned to only two users. Although in Admin Config I have selected 'Allow all in usergroup to...
-
Agreed, it should be the same. A quick look at the code reveals it is indeed similar. I will have to dig a bit deeper.

Hi, Andrew, today I found an interesting case. Let's say there is a structure: Project > Task > Subtask Project does not have any User Group assigned, but Task and Subtask have specific User Group assigned to Clinical. I'm trying to see tasks of another user. Both of us are members of Clinical User Group. In this case, being a member of a User Group Clinical, I could see Task and Subtask under ToDo list for another user, but Subtask would not be visible on the Calendar, when I would switch to see...

Was your software created through a forking? Yes, the original software was called CORE Project Management. You can still find this on Sourceforge, though it has been untouched since 2002. If so, when was it forked and was there a reason? It was forked in 2002. See the Changelog in the GIT directory. Basically, I started using CORE for projects at work - it did what I wanted - and in time became a contributor and developer. However the lead developer wanted to move in a different direction - which...

Hmmm 2.11 looks like around 2007. Are you running the UTF-8 version? Only important if you are using a language other than English. Do you currently have a MySQL database with innodb tables. The modern versions are all innodb and won't read the old tables (obsolete in MySQL). You can dump the database by using the bash script in [webcollab]/db. This is a text file that you can edit. If necessary add ENGINE = innodb to make the tables restore as innodb. Look at the schema files in the same directory...

Hello, I'm assisting a small non profit that has been running WebCollab for quite a while now. They are currently running version 2.11. The hosting server is scheduled to shutdown soon and we need to move to a new server. I'm thinking I could spin up a VM locally, install version 2.11, restore the database from backup and then upgrade to the latest version (all of this with strategic snapshots taken along the way). I'm not the greatest Linux admin but I can usually figure things with time and perseverance....

Hi, Andrew, thank you for the new release! I have several suggestions: It would be good to add a CSS class selector for the calendar icon bullet_add.png and also state icons, eg. "Done/New". This way you can hide them via print.css when printing the calendar. And overall, for some reason the bullet_add icon does nothing when I tested - do we need it? It would be good to restructure calendar entry. Currently whole entry falls under tooltip CSS class, but in reality there are 2 parts: visible calendar...

To enable printing styles we need to change head: <link href="css/default.css" type="text/css" rel="StyleSheet"> <link href="css/calendar.css" type="text/css" rel="StyleSheet"> <link media="print" href="css/print.css" rel="stylesheet"> This way printing styles will be added in addition to main stytles, ref: https://www.sitepoint.com/css-printer-friendly-pages/ Thank you!

Hi, I have been away in a remote area - no internet, no cellphone coverage for a few days. I haven't come across non-public schema, but looking at them very briefly, I would have thought you can do it by changing permissions on the database. SQL commands that should help? GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA ALTER SCHEMA You would have to make sure that the webcollab user has the correct permissions.

Hello Andrew, I would like to install webcollab on non public pgsql schema ? How can making it work, please ? Thanksc a lot for your project !

Oh, actually I meant the git repo on this (Sourceforge) site: https://sourceforge.net/p/webcollab/code/ci/master/tree/ I've also updated the github repo as well. It doesn't get a lot of attention, so I tend to forget about it. There is a note on the front page directing to the Sourceforge page.

That's great! I checked the Git, but the last update is shown in 2017: https://github.com/andrewsimpsonnz/webcollab I will wait for the new version, thank you!

Yes, it's been added to the Git repo. I've also started preparing for a release, since there are enough changes to make this worthwhile.

Hi, Andrew, I thought I will follow up on this post. In case you are considering implementing this idea, please let me know, that would be super useful for our team. Thank you!
