Issue Tracking System

Description

Issue Tracking System

Main features:

• Easy to install
• If AuthUser and ZAP enabled, no /cookbook files, no /local/config.php customization required.
• multiple issue tracking systems in the site (e.g. CoreModules,Addons, Bundles, ...)
• all tracking systems use only a few shared standard PmWiki pages placed in the JITS wikigroup.
• The issues lists can be filtered and sorted on several issue properties.
• The optional customisation is provided by per-<Group> configuration pages.
• The posts (issues and comments) can be re-edited by the original author or the user with Edit authorization.
• The user with the @admins rights can process batch deleting selected issues including their comments.
• Backward-compatible with pages created with previous JITS releases.

Installation

1. download and unzip JITS20070515.zipΔ into wiki.d/ folder;
you should have the following pages:

• JITS.JITSsnip - the main source
• JITS.JITSPgLstS - the standard source controlling the filters form and pagelists
• JITS.JITSPgLst - the customisable source controlling the pagelists
• JITS.JITScfgS - the source controlling the basic values of the forms selectboxes
• JITS.JITScfg - the customisable source controlling the values of the forms selectboxes
• JITS.JITSTutorial - this tutorial (continue reading this tutorial from your site)
• JITS.JITSadmin - the administrator's page

2. Create some training JITS e.g. MyJITS in the Test wikigroup

• create and edit Test.GroupFooter and copy and paste this source to the page beginning :
  

  (:if equal {*$:PInd} "JITS":)(:include JITS.JITSsnip#grpftr#grpftrend:)(:ifend:)
  

  
  Save the changes.
• Set the ZAP password for the group (e.g. in Test.GroupAttributes?action=attr) to enable submitting the forms.
• Create and edit Test.MyJITS page and copy and paste this source to the page beginning:
  

  (:include JITS.JITSsnip#mainpage#mainpageend:)
  (:JITSlevel: main:)
  

  
  You can prepend the snippet by (:title...:) or description.
  Save the changes.
• The MyJITS main page is displayed.
  Probably no pagelist will be displayed. Just click the "New issue" button .

Repeat this step (2) to create further JITS (e.g. John.ProjectA, John.ProjectB, John.PersonalTasks ...)

3. Maintain the security of the JITS groups against edits by unauthorized users -- especially the JITS/JITSadmin page, which enables mass deletion of issues and comments.

Comments

See Discussion at JITS-Talk

Known problems:

• filtering values are stored and retrieved in the main JITS page;
  it can cause an inconvenience when other visitor changes the settings in the same moment.
