Flyspray 0.9.9.7 - 28 May 2012

The register spam by probably bots in 2016 is annoying.

I ticked the setting, that an admin must accept a new registration. It helps to reduce spam task, but now admin must decide if the registrations are ok or just spam bots.

Beside the need of antispam-plugins, the management of users can be improved:

• column sorting of user list, similiar to the tasklist
• filtering user list, similiar to the tasklist
• pagination of user list (25,50,100,200,all?)
• more columns:
  • last login implemented
  • last activity (a resulting task/comment/project change in database)
  • tasks created implemented
  • comments created implemented
  • votes implemented

that may help to decide what status or settings a user should have in future.

• show time zone setting and language setting of users implemented in userlist now

• mass accept/deny of a list of user registrations waiting for admin approval.

When we add http/https links there is a problem.

I think, the problem is here for other URI too.

Examples:

1/ With this code without code section :
The code:

blablabla
- https://example.tld
- https://example.tld

We obtain:

The code :
blablabla
- https://example.tld - https://example.tld

2/ Same to with a text in more, with this code without code section :
The code:

blablabla
- example 1 https://example.tld/
- example 2 https://example.tld/

We obtain:

The code :
blablabla
- example 1 https://example.tld/ - example 2 https://example.tld/

Sometimes comes this message with a lot of backtrace log.
If you are reporting a bug please provide as much information as possible to help understand and reproduce the problem:

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"

On the Flyspray homepage, no informations about https://github.com/flyspray/flyspray…

A lot of people think that the project is dead.

In the same time, can you change the https://github.com/Flyspray to https://github.com/flyspray ?

No lost, you can try it already works but it is not the default.

https://github.com/organizations/Flyspray/settings/profile → “Rename organization” and replace Flyspray → flyspray.

My version of PHP still shows deprecation warnings with flyspray.

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /var/www/flyspray.itiab.co.nz/htdocs/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 353

Have all mysql.connect instances been removed? The connect will be removed from PHP soon and will cause problems.

The “Preview” button is not at the good place.

The “Preview” must to be near “Add this task” with same background button color.

Thanks in advance.

My School has blocked me from signing up for the Mailing list, how do I sign up or can you add me?

It would be nice to have a description field to put a brief note about the work done for a given effort item. This would help when using effort tracking for the purpose of making invoices to a client.

It would be terrific to have a small pop-up window that appears when you click to start tracking of an item. In the window could be:

• the task name
• a timer
• a button to close the timer pop-up and jump to the effort tracking screen, or even to stop the effort timer in FlySpray if possible.

This would help tremendously to remind a developer that he has one or more timers going in FlySpray.

If multiple timers are started, there could be multiple timer windows, each identified by the task name showing as part of the window (title bar or some text near the timer).

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,

If you have a tasklist with tasks that have multiple assignees in a task and you search just by one of the assignees, the resulting tasklist shows only this user in the assignees column.

Expected: all assignees of the tasks are shown.

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.

When I try to register at flyspray and add a space before the email address, registering does not work, I get the error message: “You did not enter a valid email address”. But my email progam ignores the space when I do the same there.

When a tasklist contains the duedate column and the user sorts by duedate ascending, the tasks that do not have a duedate set should not be listed first. Instead they should be listed after the tasks with duedates.

This way a user can see the task with the earliest duedate first instead of seeing a bunch of probably not so important tasks without duedates set.

When I am at the global projects page at index.php?do=admin&area=editallusers and now select a project from the dropdown menu at the top right, I get an error

FEHLER #17: Ungültiger Projektmanager-Bereich!

(according to the the translation area this is key 813: error17 Invalid PM area.)

If I select the project again, the projects start page will be shown correctly.

Hi, i made a way to integrate slack in flyspray using webhooks.. i not added to git.. if some can add for me it’s ok.

The process is simple.. maybe in the front the team can add a field for add the webhook for each action could be better.. in this moment the webhook is triggered only for newtask using the log method.. but you can simply add some “if” for each “type” of log.

Process:

1. Create a new field in the table flyspray_users named “slack”, and add the user slack for each user.
2. Edit the file /includes/class.flyspray.php , go to the function “logEvent” and change it by this:

public static function logEvent($task_id, $type, $newvalue = '', $oldvalue = '', $field = '', $time = null)
			{
				global $db, $user;
 
				// This function creates entries in the history table.  These are the event types:
				//  0: Fields changed in a task
				//  1: New task created
				//  2: Task closed
				//  3: Task edited (for backwards compatibility with events prior to the history system)
				//  4: Comment added
				//  5: Comment edited
				//  6: Comment deleted
				//  7: Attachment added
				//  8: Attachment deleted
				//  9: User added to notification list
				// 10: User removed from notification list
				// 11: Related task added to this task
				// 12: Related task removed from this task
				// 13: Task re-opened
				// 14: Task assigned to user / re-assigned to different user / Unassigned
				// 15: This task was added to another task's related list
				// 16: This task was removed from another task's related list
				// 17: Reminder added
				// 18: Reminder deleted
				// 19: User took ownership
				// 20: Closure request made
				// 21: Re-opening request made
				// 22: Adding a new dependency
				// 23: This task added as a dependency of another task
				// 24: Removing a dependency
				// 25: This task removed from another task's dependency list
				// 26: Task was made private
				// 27: Task was made public
				// 28: PM request denied
				// 29: User added to the list of assignees
				// 30: New user registration
				// 31: User deletion
				// 32: Add new subtask
				// 33: Remove Subtask
				// 34: Add new parent
				// 35: Remove parent
 
				$query_params = array(intval($task_id), intval($user->id),
				((!is_numeric($time)) ? time() : $time),
				$type, $field, $oldvalue, $newvalue);
 
                               // CREATE A NOTIFICATION IN SLACK WHEN A NEW TASK IS CREATED ONLY TO THE USER SELECTED
				if ($type == 14) {
 
					$usuarios = $db->query("SELECT DISTINCT a.slack, c.item_summary, d.project_title
						FROM {users} a
						JOIN {assigned} b on b.user_id = a.user_id
						JOIN {tasks} c on c.task_id = b.task_id
						JOIN {projects} d on d.project_id = c.project_id
						WHERE b.task_id = ?
						and a.slack <> '-'", array(intval($task_id)));
						$slackUsers = $db->fetchAllArray($usuarios);
 
						foreach ($slackUsers as $users) {
							    // GET THE USERS FOR IN THE SLACK TO SEND THE NOTIFICATION.
							$data = array(
								'text' => "New task: Project: " . $users['project_title'] . " | summary: " . $users['item_summary'] . " | taskId:" . $task_id ,
								'username' => "bott inslack",
								'link_names' => "1",
								'channel' =>  "@" . $users['slack'],
								'icon_emoji' => ":panda_face:"
							);
 
							$options = array(
								'http' => array(
									'header'  => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n',
									'method'  => 'POST',
									'content' => json_encode($data)
								)
							);
 
                                                      // DEFINE SLACK WEBHOOK
							$context  = stream_context_create($options);
							$result = file_get_contents("https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxxxxxxxx", false, $context);
 
						}
 
					}												
 
					if($db->query('INSERT INTO {history} (task_id, user_id, event_date, event_type, field_changed,
						old_value, new_value) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)', $query_params)) {
 
							return true;
						}
 
						return false;
					}

I’m currently using flyspray 0.9.9.7

I want to make a little integration of our flyspray installation into slack.
I want make a POST request when a “new task is created”

Any experiment guy can help here ?
1. Where is the best place to achieve this quickly as “hack hardcode” 2. Im not php developer, is there any php lib in flyspray todo quick POST request without installing any additional lib.

Is there any possible implementation in the future of a way to send new tasks and edited tasks in to discord or some messaging software like bots do, for example github bot will post new issues to a channel in discord so users can see and check up on things, especially for big projects which use these types of things and need a way to notify users of updates

With the existence of now two peoples named “Peter” on bugs.flyspray.org (I - peterdd , and PeterTheOne)
there are several places where the full names are display instead of usernames and the user can’t know who is which “Peter” until he visits the users profile page.

Different solutions possible:

• more profile image/gravatar usage where user names are shown, on mouseover link title attribute shows username and realname
• display user name (username) instead of full name (realname)
• display full name and username (where much space available and precision needed)
• …

When adding the mention feature, the username will be probably the prefered setting as the username is unique but the realname not.
