Redmine

I just saw issue #4751 allows this it you create custom queries and view the resulting gantt chart from there.

It seems like grouping by target-version would be a good default rather than having to select a custom query first.

Opinions?

I have checked out the custom queries and was unable to create a gantt chart based on the custom query with regards to grouping so this issue is still open for me.

My thinking is that if a user has gone to the effort of assigning issues to versions etc then they would probabl want the Gantt chart to reflect that organisation with the above layout (So beautifully rendered in ASCII :p )

That is very excellent, in fact that is almost exactly what my colleague is after.

A few questions about this layout.

1. How is the version start-date calculated? Is it a new field on the version or is it assumed to be the same as the project creation date?
2. Same as above but for sub-project start/end.
3. Will the version progress bar be automatically filled based on issue progress (Like on the roadmap)?

No matter what the answers to the above are it is still a huge improvement I think. Do you have any idea when/if it will be committed to the trunk so we can have a sneak-peak?

Also now I think about it, will the PDF/PNG exports be updated to reflect these changes?

I have a large rewrite of the Gantt chart for a client that I'm finishing up that does this (and more). Using your example, it ends up like:

I wish I could take a screenshot of it but their data is sensitive so I can't display any of it.

This is great! Look forward to seeing it

Can't remembe exactly. It's either 1) the date the version was created or 2) the very first issue start date.

1. Same as above but for sub-project start/end.

The earliest and latest issue or version (think of project range to expand to include all of the issue and version date ranges).

1. Will the version progress bar be automatically filled based on issue progress (Like on the roadmap)?

Yes, same for the projects.

Yes but the PDF export isn't complete. I think there were some preexisting layout bugs in it.

Argh, this is exactly the last (and the one of the most important) feature I do need from the Redmine :)

Eric Davis, do you have some estimates on this issue?
I am wondering when this will be in trunk...

Ooops! Looks like that this is already in trunk. Shame on me...

Eric, is this part of the work that was recently included by Jean-Phillipe as part of the new sub-tasks enhancement?

Or is it separate (and incompatible?)

Separate and incompatible. I'm going to be merging the latest subtasks code that was added to my Gantt rewrite soon. Still a ways out before it's ready to release though.

Groovy, thank you for the information

Eric, What other features will the new Gantt have ? Will it allow editing within the gantt view ? Is it likely to be < or > 3 months before the first release ?

The grouping by sub-tasks is working nicely with the new sub-task core feature. I havent had a chance to see how sub-projects and sub-tasks mix. Will have to look into that.
