"on the fly"-GANTT Chart-updating in currently version isn´t working #4

Closed pdunkler closed 14 years ago

pdunkler commented 15 years ago

Hey Guys,

i´ve installed the newest version from this gitHub at my Server to plan my projects with this software - The time before, i´ve used the only version of clockingit.com.

Now i´ve tried to create a GANTT-Chart with the new version, and the old feature - the on the fly updating of the gantt-chart isn´t working. For normal, the chart updatet, when i typed in a new time and now, nothing is happening? The Second problem is, that i can move the gantt elements in vertical way and for normal only a horizontal moving is allowed, not right?

It would be very nice to know, if this is a failure in my installation or something else or this is a bug.

Thanks for developing this nice tool @ all!

Hi there.

With the gradual move to jQuery and away from prototype, it is possible that something in the GANTT chart has become broken. Currently my preferred approach is to remove the hand crafted GANTT code from ClockingIT and move it entirely to something like this http://www.anychart.com/products/anygantt/overview/ Some nice features there and much less maintenance for our project.

That flash chart is a very nice one! I think the integration of it in the project would be a major improvement for clockingit! Now, the problem is - Who is ready to do this? Unfortunately my free time is very barely at the time, so i can´t help with this integration. It would be very nice if you guys integrate this nice chart into clockingit.

I am seeing this issue as well. I would love to see it resolved. I am not in a hurry for something like anychart, although it does look nice based on their online demos.

I'm happy to merge changes from anyone who wants to work on this, but I don't have the time right now, particularly since it will be going away. Anychart never got back to me after many requests on an open source license, so we will not be using them.

I have some other nice choices though.

ari, thanks for all your great work on this. I am new to the project. I am also new to github. what are some of the other options you were looking at? how much development time would you need for something like this? what if you had a donation?

My current favourite plan is to extend this: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/ to implement a GANTT feature. It is open source and a solid framework to build on.

I started with some experiments: it doesn't look too hard. Probably 40-60 hours. But there is no chance I'll have that time myself soon.

Certainly funding would help if I could give this work to a javascript developer. Or perhaps we could look at what donation would encourage Adam Shaw himself to work on it.

The beauty of fullCalendar is that it is already integrated into our project and it is simple to use.
