Agreed. Ultimately would be nice to make them editable ie have drag and drop functionality for tasks so you can move them around the chart with you mouse and it will get reflected in the issues.

Looks really nice ! I know some users at my work who are not really happy with current gantt charts, I will relay their feedback as soon as it's in trunk.

We use the gantt charts all of the time. Versions are cross-cutting the projects and sub-projects and then we try to roll up to a top level application project. Having a good gantt at the top (like your picture) would really help. While not mentioned in your write-up, don't forget the filtering of tasks (I am sure that it was just cut off of your picture). One of the selling points of Redmine is the ability to filter and organize the issues the way I want, when I want.

If a version is shared outside of one project, how it is shown on the gantt? Do the issues stay with the version or the project on the display?

Do you need the ability to display the project or version on the text of the task or is it a mouse-over that displays the issue details?

Nice job.....

That would be nice but since the charts are "drawn" using HTML spans, it would be difficult to write. I'd accept a patch for it though.

Yea, that's included. Before showing the issues they are filtered by the current Query.

If a version is shared outside of one project, how it is shown on the gantt? Do the issues stay with the version or the project on the display?

The shared version would appear under it's project. Then issues assigned to it will be shown. Example:

• Version 1.0 on Project A
  • Issue 100 (on Project A)
  • Issue 101 (on Project A)
  • Project B - Issue 102

Do you need the ability to display the project or version on the text of the task or is it a mouse-over that displays the issue details?

There are tooltips that appear when hovering on an issue (like the existing Gantt). I don't remember if Versions or Projects have tooltips also.

Great job!!
I didn't see subtasks but I suppose they are also displayed under the parent task...
I just have one wish: I had to patch the gantt controller to change the way items are ordered (id first, to have items sorted by creation date...) and it will be great if you add the ability to choose how items are sorted.
I will test it as soon as it's in trunk.

Great.
Has long as I can figure out which project a task is under when we are doing version work this will really help.

One more thing I would suggest adding is ability to display estimated time vs actual time or just estimated time

Eric, the Gantt looks perfect!

We are thinking about redoing it using Ajax but still not sure about that. Might as well as just do REST client or plugin.

Eric, I update redmine and show me this error with I try to see the gantt:

The same for me. Error is thrown not on all projects.

This happens when none of the issues in a project have a due date set. I created a quick patch, see also Issue #6350

Please please please, open new issues if you find bugs. I cannot stress this enough. Posting the bugs to this issue will cause them to get lost, and then they will help no one.

Eric, have you reviewed the patches from #2024? Would such be easy to adopt and maintained post Gantt-rewrite?
