When the story-task view is left open over night and the user tries to edit and save something the next day, it says "unexpected token <".

This is most likely because the login-page gets returned in the ajax request since the user session has timed out. The tool should ask for login again in a better way.

Admin area:
When a new user has been added as admin the text field still contains the user name even if add has been pushed.

Hi!,
Would it be possible have additional feature on Area edit

1. Customize estimated time.
2. Developer (Owner) that can be pulled, instead of retyping user's

Thanks,

Gerald

A burn down chart could be added to make it easier to get an overview of the statuses for active stories.

One way would be to make a bar chart with a bar for each time interval (say 1 day, week or month). These bars all have the same height and are divided into different colours for different statuses. It would then be easy to follow the colour shifts to see how the work is progressing between different statuses.

Based on idea by @rsandell

Selecting description text in edit mode in Firefox behaves weird. Sometimes it selects the complement to what I try to select and sometimes it gets unselected very quickly again.

When a story has been edited and the user double-clicks in one of the textboxes, the edit mode should not quit directly without saving.

When the browser window gets to small, the links for area, theme-epic, epic-story and story-task starts jumping down one line which is OK, but I think all four should always be on the same line. That would make it less confusing for the user when trying to find out which level comes next.

When you have a story view with hundreds of stories in and create a new story; it ends up at the bottom of the list, as it should. But if you then want to move it to somewhere close to the top of the prio list you need to drag for ages.

Somewhere adding a "move story to top" button would ease that dragging operation a lot.

We should flag items as deleted instead of removing them directly. In case of an emergency it would be easy to set deleted=false manually again. It would also be good to save the date of removal.

When deploying backlogtool as ROOT.war, links will be broken. (hard-coded links to /backlogtool)

The save all button doesn't get disabled again after editing some stories and saving.

Enable support for short cuts. E.g:
Cltr-N (new story)
Ctrl-S (save)

If a user has made some changes but not yet saved, the changes will be discarded if he creates a new backlog item.

For non-corporate environments, it's important to allow other login methods than LDAP. I'm currently investigating login with Facebook or Google accounts.

If a user selects a few children and presses "filter selected", then their IDs are entered into the filter field even though filtering is not possible on children. Either make sure that only parents are entered or make sure that filtering works on children as well.

Hi,
I added a new task, entered some information which I didn't save yet and I arrange the task drag and drop it, it updates the panel but the values of the new task is set to default, the one that I had previously typed is erased.

Thanks,
Gerald

When user A saves some changes of an area, then user B who is using drag and drop in the same area and is currently dragging an item gets interrupted. This is because the update gets pushed out and the list gets redrawn for user B.

This can be fixed by temporarily disabling push updates when dragging an item and enabling it again when dragging stops. It currently works like that when going to edit mode for an item.

In earlier versions, it was possible to drag a story to the top of the page in order to make the backlog scroll up automatically while sorting. This is broken in later versions and the user has to use the scroll wheel to scroll up.

Make a less detailed view, where only story titles are visible

Implement a filter which can sort out specific story ids. Should be possible to generate a direct link to current filter.

If a user is editing a backlog item and decides to create a new one the UI will refresh and the changes is lost. This could be solved by disable the create button while the user have items in edit mode, or something.

Lower the resolution under 1680px makes the interface look strange.
We should check how many of our users that is under this resolution and decide if we shall do a fix.

We should also look into what we can do when making the window smaller. (Also looks strange when making it small)

When creating a new story/task, the new item should be placed directly below the item that's currently selected.

It seems like the newer versions of Chrome are unable to recieve push notifications when other users make changes to the same area. At least it's not working for me locally with Chrome version 26.0.1410. Can someone please confirm this? It still seems to be working in Firefox.

If confirmed, we should look into updating ICEPush..

Should probably be "Cascading" on the areas.name foreign key.

The login button should not be hidden under the menu. It's OK to have the logout button there but it must be easy to login.

I think it would be enough if we move it to the upper right where most pages have that button.

As a Gerrit user, I want to be able to upload changes to Gerrit with a specific footer tag in the commit message (for example "Closes: Task 1234"), and have a Gerrit plugin automate the state transition of the task when the change is submitted.

Hi,
Is it possible to have a matrix base role manager i.e allow a user to have create capability but will not delete an entry for a New Area/Theme/Story, which is similar to jenkins matrix role?

Thanks

Gerald

Disable the ability to double click on an open item to close it (it's enough if it can be closed with the cancel/save buttons again)

There should be a way to add arbitrary foot notes to a story or task. For instance URLs pointing towards code patches or Issue IDs.

Hi!,
We are evaluating the tool for use with our team, to replace our existing backtracking tool.
We would like to ask does it support Oracle for the Database? we intend to use our existing database infrastructure which is Oracle.

Thank you very much.

As an area editor, I want to change name on my areas.

As a backlog administrator I would like to allow anonymous users to be able to read the story content so that I don't have to give edit/admin rights and risk my ordering.

Hi!,
Good day.
I'm new with ldap authentication, I got the below setup from our jenkins server and we can authenticate thru ldap.

server: ldap://xxx.com:389
roodDN: ou=People,ou=yyy.zzz
userSearch: uid={O}

Please advise on how to use the above setting for use by backlogs.

Thank you very much.

The list of archived stories is a little thinner than the non-archived stories, which makes it look a bit weird.

When two stories are in edit mode and a user enters any special character like åäö in the description field, it will have wrong encoding until all other stories are saved or closed as well.

As a user I would like to know which version of the of BacklogTool I am using so that I know if I should expect new features or bug fixes (as discussed in this forum) to appear or not. It also would help in reporting bugs.

Tip: Maybe something like trac has. At the bottom of their demo page it says: "Drivs av Trac 1.0.2dev-r11710". Compared to "Drivs av Trac 1.1.2dev-r11711"?

When creating a new epic in a theme with a special character in its name, a new theme is created with the same name containing the new epic. Same behavior is with the epic-story. Havent been testing the story-task.

To reproduce:

1. Create a theme named: 10°C
2. Click + button to add a new epic.

As a user who currently has an existing backlog in Redmine with the backlogs plugin, I want to be able to import my epics, stories, and tasks into the new backlog tool.

The check box that toggles archived backlog items are reset when the page updates. This could be saved in a cookie.

Archived children is not hidden which they should be.

All date pickers should also display week number.

When adding information a double click will result in a revert back to non edit mode without save. This is dangerous due to a common behaviour of users to doubleclick on a world to highlight the whole world. There is also a risk of double click when clicking on the different fields.

A possible solution would be to auto-save on each field change (unfocus action) or have a specific edit/view button close to delete or add story.

When edititing archived stories, the save all button never gets activated and the user has to press the individual save buttons.

When viewing the archive, the hide/show buttons don't work. All tasks are always visible.

A cookie could be used to remember what the user has selected in the drop down list for sorting the backlog.

When the save all-button is used, the individual save buttons start malfunctioning.

Steps for reproducing:

1. Open a few stories at once and edit one of them.
2. Use the save all-button
3. Open the same stories again and edit the same story again.
4. Press the individual save button, now all stories close

"For users

Download the backlogtool.war backlogtool.properties files from Github to a suitable location"

But there's no link to a war-file anywhere on the page (at least not that I'm able to spot).

Wanted: Please update readme with a link to the war-file for convenient download.

Thank you!

Users don't like when there's a cancel button, but not a save button on each story that has been edited. Add a save button next to cancel.
