Feature requests / Re: Sticky Notes! (a true must for any project)

« on: March 05, 2009, 03:44:55 pm »

I've been watching development on opengoo,
As you said, opengoo 1.3 does contain my first suggestion.

Though I still feel that my second suggestion could actually be quite beneficial for the small modification that it is. It would help keep things more organized from a groupware point of view.

Perhaps i'll look at it later myself.

Feature requests / Re: Sticky Notes! (a true must for any project)

@conrado
It is true that there are many ways to get this done.
I feel to have a good understanding at what you're aiming at, so i'll try to post suggestions in consideration of this.

I would not put too much thought into this feature and go with the easiest implementation, future (more complex) changes can always still be made.

I'd like to branch the original idea into 2 seperate ones.

1. Workspace overview

The Problem:
When browsing workspaces it is not instantly clear what a workspace  is intended for nor what it's purpose is within the project.

Suggested Solution:
A description message on the overview tab could assist in making the purpose of a workspace more clear. This message would be best placed above all other content within this tab and should be editable through the corresponding workspace properties tab.

Technical implementation:
A radio button with the option to show the description on the overview tab.

I am aware that there are other (more complex) ways to get this done, though this option already would suffice for most of us.

2. Sticky notes

The Problem:
Some notes contain static important information which deserves a more noticable presence within a workspace.

The solution:
Like in a real office desk situation, you could manually prioritize notes by placing the most important notes on top. The ability make certain notes "stick" on top so that they are more noticable would be an acceptable solution.

Technical implementation:
A checkbox to enable a note to be "sticky" and simply appear above all others in the note widget for as long as it is has a "stickied" status.
(similar to many forums).

again there might be more complex ways to get this done, but this would be rather easy feature to add and would already be sufficient for most of us.


Hope my suggestions are of some use.

Considering some projects get a lot of feedback.

It might be usefull to have a mailbox which you can assign to a workspace so everyone can read and reply.
(something in the form of tickets if you will, excellent way to collect customer feedback).

Feature requests / Sticky Notes! (a true must for any project)

« on: January 30, 2009, 04:51:03 pm »

Opengoo carries an impressive amount of features.
The one thing I have been missing is the ability to have some static information available about the concerning project.

Real example:
Say we have a development workspace for a piece of software.
New developers do have a few things to learn about certain rules we uphold within this projects concerning client communication and programming conventions.

Currently there is no way to statify this in a big project (where many files and notes clutter the workspace).

What I suggest is the ability to make a note "stick" on top of all the other notes.
for example a note that says "Read First: Project Rules"!
(thus applying a sticky property to the note, so it appears on top of the note overview, above all non-stickied notes)

These sticky notes should also have priority position within the overview tab.

I feel this will greatly benefit the groupware concept.
Perhaps people could share similar scenarios where they would benefit from such a feature.

I have to confirm that I am also unable to reproduce this bug now in IE7.
However it will generate this error in "opera 9.65".

now you certainly should not have to specifcally support this browser because of my unwillingness to use a normal one.
But this browser has worked with all major features so far, it would not be much of challange to get this working, its probably jut  a wrong declared.

also on a sidenote,
The custom property fields do not reappear upon editing them in IE7 once you saved them.


here is the error I got from your demo version.

Code: [Select]

Statement on line 3: Type mismatch (usually non-object value supplied where object required)
Backtrace: Line 3 of eval script var count = parent.getElementsByTagName("tr").length - 1;
Line 41 of eval script og.addCustomProperty(parent, "tralala", "tralala");
og.addCustomProperty(parent, "tadaaaddaaaa", "i5463786834");
Line 1082 of linked script http://demo.opengoo.org/en_us/public/tools/combine.php?...

Thank you for your time!

Feng Office 1 / Custom properties on links

« on: January 27, 2009, 04:32:15 pm »

I have noticed that custom properties on weblinks do save but don't load on the latest 1.2beta.

(Using Internet Explorer 7)
It displays a JS error upon loading:

Code: [Select]

Statement on line 3: Type mismatch (usually non-object value supplied where object required)
Backtrace: Line 3 of eval script var count = parent.getElementsByTagName("tr").length - 1;
Line 41 of eval script og.addCustomProperty(parent, "user", "info+sagramore.com");
og.addCustomProperty(parent, "pass", "xxxxxx"); ...
Line 684 of linked script http://xxx.xxxx.nl/public/assets/javascript/og/og.js window.eval(match[2]); ...
Line 10 of linked script http://xxx.xxx.nl/public/assets/javascript/extjs/adapter/ext/ext-base.js
function(){if(this.locked){return false}
this.locked=true;var R=!F;if(!R){R=(I>0)}var Q=[];for(var M=0,L=H.length;MClick to remove

Also,
I may add,
an option to easily access/view these custom properites is missing.
I use them to store login information to certain sites, there seems no other way to view them then to edit them.

I'll start off by saying that i'm pretty impressed with this piece of software.
It works well and has clean feel to it (unlike most opensource software I run into).

I have not yet installed it myself but have been intensively using the demo.
I personally feel your strongest advantage is the fact that all of your features have been well thought out to allow it to be used for any general purpose (not leaning strongly towards a single purpose of use).
You should definitly should keep that up.
I hope to not ever see this software being bloated with features that serve only a very specific usage scenarios (unless they're modulair).


Now for example I plan to use opengoo for developing software.
I have run into a few things on the demo which I feel could make it easier in general.

-Folder/Category support in the documents tab (i'm aware tags can be used to achieve categorisation, however I can not sort according to them.)
-"My overview" page, where a user can actually see tasks that have been appointed to him for that day.
-Task email notifications

Other then that I think this piece of software can serve all my needs.

Keep up the good work,
You currently risk getting a donation from me in the near future.

Ps. seems that the "new task" button sometimes breaks on the demo version
