Redmine

I would like to see this plugin, or a mix of this plugin and #2024 embedded in the core of Redmine. The functionality (editing/adjusting start and due dates) is important and most people would be happy to have it.

Chris,

thanks for the feedback. I've fixed issues 3 and 4 from your list, you can download new version of the plugin here: http://www.redmine.org/attachments/5533/redmine_better_gantt_chart-0.2.2-patch2024.zip

Let me know if this helped.

5 is really an issue of #2024, I hope Hiroyuki Yoshioka will catch up and fix this as well!

Alexey

Alexey,

Thanks for your quick response to these bugs. I have downloaded the latest version through guthub ('patch2024' branch) and am happy to confirm it has resolved issues #3 and #4 from the list above. This is great.

I appreciate issue #5 is a problem with #2024 and out of your control.

Another bug I have just noticed with #2024 is that when you try to change the start or due date through the Gantt chart interface using the date picker, it automatically updates the date value (and therefore the bars on the Gantt chart) when you move between months, even if you haven't actually selected a date. I will report this bug through the correct channels.

Out of curiosity, how easy would it be to combine the code from patch #2024 and bundle it as one plugin? I can imagine this being a very popular plugin for anyone wanting to use Redmine as a proper project management and resource scheduling tool.

Thanks again for you work on this, it has come at exactly the right time for me.

Hi Alexey,
I made a new patch for this bug.
Could you combine this patch and your plugin?

Hi, I updated the plugin for the new version of #2024, see here: http://www.redmine.org/attachments/5773/redmine_better_gantt_chart-0.2.3-patch2024.zip

Using your plugin 0.5.3 on redmine 1.2.1 got from http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_better_gantt_chart

clicking on Gannt tab raises internal server errror:

Hi.
I can't see the arrows in pdf view. It's normal ?
Thanks.

Yes, I cannot add arrows in PDF so far. The problem is that PDF output is paginated, so I cannot just add image layer with arrows on top of text layer. Because of this someone needs to implement arrows for PDF gantt from scratch.

Hi. Maybe use another format like png ? But i'm not programmer... ^^

I'm having same problem as Egory Ampster

No recent changes that we know of, it just stopped working. Thoughts?

We've figured out that this error is caused by another plugin (redmine_default_columns), it's plugin conflict...In my case I've just disabled Better Gantt because redmine_default_columns is more important...

Yes, the reason is the redmine_default_columns plugin, which is monkey-patching some methods in a wrong way. Well, I can probably issue my own version of this plugin with this fixed, if there is a demand...

Yes, please

OK, I quickly patched the original redmine_default_columns plugin, so now it should be compatible with the Better Gantt Chart and other plugins. Source code is here: https://github.com/kulesa/redmine_default_columns, or you can grab the attached zip.

Replace the old redmine_default_columns with content of this zip file, and it should just work after restart of Redmine. Unfortunately, this plugin doesn't have any specs, so I cannot be 100% sure it is worked as expected - please test!

Hope this helps.

Can you confirm, was the change you made based off revision .6 of the redmine_default_columns?

Thanks

Yes, I took the latest available revision here: http://www.redmine.org/attachments/6342/redmine_default_columns_v006.zip

Thanks, I will be trying it tomorrow afternoon and will let you know by Monday.

Best Regards,

Allen

This looks good, the Gantt and default columns functionality are now working.

Thanks,

Allen

Than you so much Alexey for the efforts your put in getting this fix done. That gantt chart is now more useful. :)

Hello,

Is 0.5.3 supposed to work in conjunction with #2024?

I tried it, but unfortunately 0.5.3 overtakes the screen and dragging is no longer possible.

Currently I can run #2024 + 0.2.3 but this removes the option to export to PNG.

Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Andreas Lausenhammer: no, it doesn't work with #2024. I abandoned support of compatibility with this patch because it turned out to be a lot of work. I am planning to reproduce the features #2024 in my plugin when time allows, but cannot promise it happens any time soon.

does anyone know if the current Better Gantt plug-in is compantible with 1.3.0
thanks

We have redmine 1.3.0 (2011-12-10)

This is the error:

It works 1.3.0 if you use the latest version from the git repo here https://github.com/kulesa/redmine_better_gantt_chart.

I'll prepare new zip with the plugin and post an update here shortly.

I updated plugin version on the download page, you can grab it here: http://www.redmine.org/attachments/6938/redmine_better_gantt_chart-0.5.5.zip

Should work with Redmine 1.3.0.

Alexey; yes. that solved it.
just exploring your add-in to see if it helps with our needs.
your prompt (and unexpected) action is very much appreciated.
