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

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

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

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

For Flyspray installations with many users (several thousands) a pagination of the user list in the admin area is required.

2000 users no problem to display (aside the PHP max_input_vars limit which is only 1000 by default, so maybe not all checked checkboxes are handled.)

More users might send your mysql to long running blocking queries creating temp tables … bad!

(I killed them by watching show processlist; and kill id; on mysql console.)

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.

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

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

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...

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

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

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.

Correct or wrong code return false!

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.

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.

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.

“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.

In the page http://www.flyspray.org/manual/group_permissions/ , it is written

Shown is an image of the permissions page for the Flyspray project’s Contributors group

but there is no image in there.

I can think of two ways of dealing with that I guess:

1. add an image
2. remove the sentence

What do you think?

Hello,
when selecting timezone in user profile, it only offers offset based timezones. It should offer timezones like "Europe/Prague", instead, because in summer it is UTC+2 and in the winter UTC+1. Also UTC is the same as GMT.

Using offsets will cause invalid future and past times when crossing daylight saving or when something other changes.

Adding daylight checkbox is not enough and will cause additional troubles. Just use names and store them as ENUM in database, not offset. This problem is pretty complicated and the only solution is to use names and let libraries to solve it for you.

Thank you.

I have been working with Eventum (http://www.mysql.org/downloads/other/eventum/) for quite sometime now and in contrast, I like Flyspray for its simplicity and practicality. But one thing I badly miss (and something that Eventum scores high) is a Workflow Engine. If not a sophisticated W.E., I (as an Admin / Manager) should be able define role-based state transition rules of the tasks reported in a particular project. For example, I should be able to implement the following scenario:

1. For a “Developer”, the subsequent tasks from various states. Likewise for other roles
2. “Developer” should not be able close out the bug reports. He/she can only flag them as implemented. The “Reporter” of the bugs or the “Manager” alone should be able to close out issues
3. ..
4. .. it will go on like that

This feature, in my opinion, is very crucial for corporate organizations to give a serious consideration to Flyspray.

Currently the category_id is not checked if the value is legal for the project when a new task is created.

• must be unsigned int
• must be an active category_id of the project or global category.
• setting a category_id must be allowed - see project settings.

If invalid category_id is sent, deny creating task and show error message and show filled form again.

If no category_id is sent (or empty string) and category select is enabled:

• either choose a default category

or

• implement feature request FS#2451 and show that user should select a category.

I was really impressed with Flyspray and about to use it as our bug tracker, but then I discovered quite a big problem. You can't restrict users from seeing full task details.

I would really love the ability to let them only see the summary. My reason being is that I'm needing a bug tracker for my game, and bugs reported can be easily abused, and will be abused, if people can just read bug reports and see how to replicate them.

The reason I don't like just unchecking the "View Tasks" option, is because they wont be able to see if there is already a task about the bug, so we would just get flooded with duplicate reports on the same bugs.
