Updating Subscriber List --sallgood, Fri, 22 Jun 2007 09:57:56 -0400 reply

David, I'm thinking about adding all of the PMs in the group as subscribers to this project so that they get notified of changes that I make (and document in the project). What do you think?

Updated How-To Documents --sallgood, Fri, 22 Jun 2007 10:04:54 -0400 reply

Updated how-to for 'Create a New Project' and 'Subscribe to receive email notifications of project changes' and added new page 'Update project description' to reflect updates above.

Added all project managers to subscriber list for Develop PM Framework project so that they get email notifications of changes/improvements to the project.

Fixed Permissions Problem --sallgood, Tue, 26 Jun 2007 15:29:16 -0400 reply

Laurie reported a problem with a project being incompletly created. Identified the problem as being permissions related. Crated a group PM and assigned everyone involved to that group with the group having the needed permission.

Moving Framework to IPlone --sallgood, Thu, 05 Jul 2007 17:17:55 -0400 reply

I am in the process of getting things set up in IPlone to move this framework there from IPloneD. I will be doing more testing on Friday and anticipate moving the projects to IPlone on Monday (have to coordinate with Joyce). Please let me know if this will be a bad day to move them.

Testing in IPlone Completed / Moving --sallgood, Fri, 06 Jul 2007 13:53:34 -0400 reply

My testing is completed and queries show no activitiy today in the projects, so I am moving them this afternoon. Notification to follow on completion of move.

Projects Moved to IPlone --sallgood, Fri, 06 Jul 2007 14:38:33 -0400 reply

The move to IPlone is complete. I have kept a copy of the original projects on IPloneD in http://iploned.nnlocal.com/city-projects/proj-arch (Archived Projects). Several people did not have user accounts on IPlone, so I added them with username/password both first-initial-last-name. Recommend that immediatedly after first login, these people click on Preferences and Change Password to change their password.

These people are:

• Charles Campbell
• Caryl Ryan
• Ed Guerrero
• Gray Edwards
• Jessica Clark
• Laurie Desalvo

EMail, Subscriber, and Local Roles Changes --sallgood, Fri, 06 Jul 2007 14:54:04 -0400 reply

While testing framework for movement to IPlone, made the following changes:

1. Rather than setting required project email addresses to my email, get user email from portal_membership and use that.
2. Add the user to the subscriber list when project is created.
3. Give the Project Managers group the local role of Owner when a project is created so that all the PMs can make changes as needed. Manually did this for existing projects when I moved them to IPlone.

Updated Code to Create Project --sallgood, Thu, 26 Jul 2007 14:42:31 -0400 reply

Found that a project name beginning with 'Manage ', which gets changed to 'manage-' for the url, causes problems. Modified code to change the modified 'manage-' to 'Manage-' in the url, which works ok.

Changed Order of Comments --sallgood, Wed, 01 Aug 2007 17:29:39 -0400 reply

For the project front page where status comments are to be made, I reversed the order in which comments are displayed to show the most recent comments first. The change was made to python script getReplyReplies and stored in portal_skins/Projects.

This does not affect comments in Wiki Pages, which are handled by separate code, but it does affect the ordering of all non-Wike comments throughout iplone. It is possible to have the display reversed or normal depending on context, but requires some additional coding and property-setting which we are not pursuing at this time.

Added Applications Menu Portlet --sallgood, Thu, 02 Aug 2007 09:11:36 -0400 reply

Added new portlet (top left) titled Applications to provide static links to the commonly used applications (ITSC Proposals, Project Management, and Website Info). This is intended to make it easier for users to navigate to these common applications with one click regardless of where they currently are working in iplone. Since these applications are accessible to all users, they appear whether the individual is logged in or not. As the need arises, we may expand this to have menus based on who is logged in and what apps they have access to.

Modified Applications Menu Portlet --sallgood, Wed, 08 Aug 2007 11:30:19 -0400 reply

Changed 'Project Management' to 'Projects - IT PM Div' and added links for eGov ('Projects - IT eGov Div') and Operations ('Projects - IT Opns Div').

Created eGov and Opns Projects Management Folders --sallgood, Wed, 08 Aug 2007 11:31:40 -0400 reply

Created similar PM framework for eGov and Opns. Moved this project (Develop PM Framework) from PM Div to eGov Div).

Changed Permission Required for Updates --sallgood, Wed, 08 Aug 2007 12:20:38 -0400 reply

Changed project portlet to provide link to Update Properties and Update Status for all PMs, not just the Project Manager for that project.

Fixed Problem with Removing Comments --sallgood, Wed, 08 Aug 2007 13:07:50 -0400 reply

Gave the PM role permission to 'Manage portal' which provides the permission to delete comments. Also used this permission for change to who could Update Properties and Update Status for projects.
