The issue with many servers now and the reason that recaptcha does not work is because it requires servers to enable allow_url_fopen which is a huge security risk. That is why you get the warning message when you try to run recaptcha that file_get_contents failed to connect.

So the solution is to use Curl to do that job.

Here is the fixed file, excuse my mess i had not cleaned up my code yet... but recaptcha now works.

this file goes in the includes dir... you can clean up the file if you like again sorry about that.

After updating from “1.0-rc6” to “1.0-rc7 dev” there is missing controls menu on writer. Look attachment.
How to solve this?

Is there any settings to enable this or I’m missing something...

When a anonymous user tries to display a ticket of a non public project (for example by entering a random ticket id), Flyspray exposes the title of the non public project in the header bar.

Edit by peterdd: also applies to project description

I tried to upgrade from 0.9.9.7 to 1-0-rc1 but I end in an infinite redirection loop

I tried to use the github version, to change the domain name (hosted in dreamhost), to use/not-use the .htaccess, upgraded the version of php from 5.5 to 5.6, to change all the settings in the flyspray.conf.php file, but still having the error after to perform the Upgrade task and removing the setup dir

Used the prepacked dependencies since i cannot install them in this server

Thanks

Fatal error: Class 'League\OAuth2\Client\Provider\Github' not found in /html/bugs/includes/GithubProvider.php on line 11

I have downloaded this:
Precompiled with 3rd party libs for PHP5.6: flyspray-1.0-rc1_php56.tgz
and the file seems really dont exist.

Flyspray does not recover the time set in php.ini. On display, the system has two hour delay.

“Oh, there are some incompatible properties set that must be resolved before moving this task to a different project.”

Oh, but I am not moving the task to a different project. Just trying to edit my own submission.

“Edit this task” → “Save details”

See attached screen capture.

Moving task to another project seems to require fields updated to target project options. This operation is not possible on the task category field and possibly others. Attempting to submit changes gives error:

“Oh, there are some incompatible properties set that must be resolved before moving this task to a different project.”

However, you cannot select a new value (from the target list) for the properties in question.

I upgraded from 0.9.9 to 1.0-beta2 a few hours ago. I received an error about oauth during the upgrade (didn’t think to take a screenshot). In any case, the upgrade otherwise seemed to go smoothly. When I subsequently closed a few tasks people who weren’t assigned to receive notifications for those tasks, even old consultants whose account I had disabled years ago, received the email notification. I also received lots of bounced emails from accounts whose email addresses were no longer existant.

Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve gone into the database and null’d out the email addresses of old accounts to prevent further spam. Not only did it notify everyone who had an account (active or disabled) but it put their email address in the To: field for all to see.

Hi,

I can’t see the Editor when I make new task. Also when I editing a exciting task.

See nothing to put any HTML code in it. Can you help me!?

I use this version: Flyspray 0.9.9.7

Since Update to Flyspray 1.0 Beta2 all users can see every task in every project.

The rights were set up correctly in Flyspray 1.0 Alpha and worked just fine.

danoh on github wants to work on patch. Couldn’t find him here..

make a option in configuration file

me need set same $db1→set_charset(’utf8mb4’); for my MySQLi

have a problem with national letters

I see this error after i try enter national letters to the summary input text field for create new task

Summary of TODO I found on the net:

• There is a very old project site of flyspray on sf.net . The info there should be updated or removed.

• Update info and keep an eye on http://alternativeto.net/software/flyspray/ from time to time.

• Keep an eye and update Flyspray info on wikipedia for example:
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_tracking_system
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue-tracking_systems
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_project_management_software
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_help_desk_issue_tracking_software
  • http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issue-Tracking-System

The application installer needs an overhaul, all strict notices fixed and the associated dependant tasks resolved.

After I upgraded to version 1.0 (the upgrade was successful), flyspray only shows a white page (and the source in firefox shows, that the page is completely white).

Please help us finding the roots of these bugs!

Please report what you were exactly doing before this happend, report us your steps made, the used php version, used OS version, and such information.

Integrate the selectpure javascript to the new task and edit task form.

By default there is a text field where tag names are separated by ‘;’ character.

Selectpure could instead show the tags with their visual layout with a little ‘x’ inside on the right side for removing a tag and autocomplete when typing a tag name to show existing tags from the flyspray_list_tag-table as possible selections.

Instead implemented a CSS and raw javascript solution with a single taghelper.js without any dependancies.

A button beside the tag input text field toggles a list of available tags for the current task, depending on the project and settings.

Still TODO

An incorrect email configuration may cause flyspray to hung during several seconds and report an exception.

Environment

* Linux Debian 10
* Nginx
* PHP-7.3 FPM
* Mariadb 10.3
* Flyspray 1.0-rc9

Steps done to create the problem:

1. Cause a misconfiguration in the email configuration (e.g. an email server rejecting the user authentication)
2. Try to post a comment on a ticket to generate a notification

Expected behavior:

Report the error in a logfile and gently show a user-friendly notification

Experienced behavior:

Flyspray hungs during several seconds and reports a user-unfriendly error:
The exception occurs in conditions that generate email notifications (e.g. posting a comment on a ticket):

Notice: fwrite(): send of 6 bytes failed with errno=104 Connection reset by peer in /var/www/flyspray/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer.php on line 240 Completely unexpected exception: Expected response code 250 but got code "421", with message "XXX edited XXX"
This should never happend, please inform Flyspray Developers

Reopening a task triggers a PHP notice with PHP7.4 under some circumstances.
Reopening a task triggers a PHP warning with PHP8.0 under some circumstances.

Reproduce:

1. Create task
2. Close task directly without setting a completion percentage
3. Reopen the task

PHP 8.0 is now released (2020-11-26) and Flyspray should be made compatible with it.

• Replace removed and deprecated functions with alternatives in our source code.
• Upgrade used libraries or make used libraries compatible:
  • post github issue or pull requests for ADODB
  • upgrade used dokuwiki or make changes in our integration (probably just review our as official dokuwiki project contains too much stuff we do not need and changed much)
  • review used geshi
  • upgrade our swiftmailer version to PHP8 compatible version
  • upgrade our oauth2-client stuff to PHP8 compatible version

Hi,
it could be fine that we could restricted some projects to some users; for example, user #1 could access (and see) project#1, project#3; user#2 could access project#1, project#2, project#4 …

thanks if you can take care of this sincerly,

I tried to register a user test3, and in my flyspray Installation the adminstratior disabled the notifications.
So I could only select “None” as text next to “Notifications”. After I pressed the button “Send Code!”, I received the email with the confirmation code. I clicked on the link in the email, and on the appearing website I entered the confirmation code and password and pressed the button “Register this account”.

Then I got the next e-mail message.
This message begins with:

“You have registered at Flyspray. Your details are as follows:”

This e-mail ends with the sentences:

“You are receiving this message because you have requested it from the Flyspray bugtracking system. If you did not expect this message or don’t want to receive mails in future, you can change your notification settings at the URL shown above.”

But this is not true. I have not requested this email. I as user test3 cannot change the notification settings because the notifications are disabled by the administrator.
