Closed Issue: Not allowing me to set a release in an issue tracker

colint — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:26:23 GMT

Everytime I try to edit a Work Item and set it against a release in the web UI, I'm getting a JS error and the operation just stops, with the change not saved. This means I can't assign any work items to a release.

Project: WLWBackup (http://wlwbackup.codeplex.com).

This should be resolved now.

Commented Feature: Project Build support in codeplex

fastbg — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:13:06 GMT

o Ability to perform periodical builds on the project branches and send status mails to the project members about build health
o Ability to plug-in automated tests into the build process
o Code review support like sending an email, providing/receiving feedback and tracking that feedback online would a very nice to have
o Send check-in mails with information like bugs resolved, files involved, review feedback link, description etc. to all contributors
Comments: ** Comment from web user: fastbg **

This was first reported over 2 years ago and is in the top ten when ranked by votes. How many votes do we need to show we all want this? :) A codeplex hosted build/continuous integration server would be a huge addition to the site.

Hi Everyone,

This web site is all about software projects, how come it doesn't contain a "proper" editor to enter code in discussion and issue tracker topics?

Thanks

Commented Issue: Silverlight macro loading issue...

RoadWarrior — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 19:22:45 GMT

Is there some limitations with the Silverlight macro? The loader ticks up to 100%, and then just stays there.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: RoadWarrior **

Here is what I found. I suggest you update your documentation.

1) Make sure the XAP file has no server dependencies. Common issue will be use of a relative URI's for images. Make these either local resource files to the XAP or fully qualitied URI's

2) Silverlight HTML bridge does not seem to be functioning on CodePlex pages. So for example the code: HTMLPage.IsEnabled will return false. So you basically, you pages load similarly to how they load in Blend. This is unexpected from a web page and unfortunate. This is an open issue in my book.

J# provides the ZIP functionality that is missing elsewhere in the .NET Framework.

I dont know what is going on... This site became very very slow last time, there are many 500-code server errors, I'm really thinking about to moving my project to sourceforge... I am unable to work here :(

Also, only a fraction of the outages get filed.

Commented Issue: Not allowing me to set a release in an issue tracker

Looks like the Codeplex version went up the other day, although my problem is still happening. Getting rather irritating now not being able to assign bugs to a particular release.

Commented Feature: Feature Request: Code Review Support

dblock — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 14:06:27 GMT

Add support for doing code reviews with distributed team members. Something similar to the Code Review functionality Google Labs recently made available to Google Apps users. Some nice features to have would be:

- Review Requests
- Diff Viewer
- Review Comments
- Contextual Review Discussions
- A nice code review dashboard where users can see outstanding related tasks.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: dblock **

we use reviewboard, http://www.review-board.org/, and it's awesome, steal the features

Created Issue: Add option to disallow execution of downloaded files (eg. CHM)

dblock — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 13:59:11 GMT

If you download a CHM file it won't display content. This is described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902225. The workaround is to add a meta tag that prevents executing on download. This might make sense for other parts of the download, so maybe there's a way to set it per file?

Commented Feature: Project Mailbox

Weiqure — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:10:35 GMT

It would be nice to have a project mailbox that people can send mail to without me having to give out my email. This way all of my project communication can be stored with my project and not on a different email server.

You could even add the ability to forward communication on to your registered email.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: Weiqure **

This would be useful for bug reports. Right now my programme creates a file and the user could sent to me but I don't think anyone would register for that. With a mailbox I could just ask the user if they want to send me the bug report.

Commented Feature: Favorite projects

CVertex — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 07:00:47 GMT

Would be a nice feature if users could mark “favorite projects” and they would appear like “My projects” does in a separate list.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: CVertex **

yeah, google code has this. There are sooo many cool projects on here, i just tag them with cool instead of favouriting.
Favourites/Watching would make more sense. Then again, if there's a 15k postback that takes a few seconds to roundtrip, maybe favouriting isn't such a good idea. Efficiency fail.

Created Issue: Windows 7 OpenSearch Support

dmex — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 01:32:54 GMT

The ability to search Codeplex and download the Installers and packages directly from Windows Explorer would be a awesome feature and demonstrate the ability it provides for Windows Users....

Adding OpenSearch support thats compatible with Windows 7 and XML per the requirements listed on Federated Search Provider Implementer's Guide (link below) will allow package managers for codeplex to be created and also allow explorer to search and download/install source code using the Codeplex database directory from Windows Explorer.

The requirements and specifications can be found on this Microsoft document:

Sorry about the trouble, this is fixed now so your files are showing up.

New Post: The files aren't showing on my releases!

dblock — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 13:09:45 GMT

I am trying to make releases for http://dotnetinstaller.codeplex.com and none of the files I upload show up! I tried all kinds of things by now :)
The only thing I can think of is that I am not the primary owner of the project, but I have coordinator role.

Update: they show up sometimes (?) at least now I see things.

Please help.

Thx
dB.

Created Issue: Support Atom feeds via RSS macro

SteveGuidi — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 04:55:45 GMT

It is currently not possible to use the RSS macro to reference an Atom feed, and would be a nice feature to have.

Referring to an Atom feed gives the following error:

Error rendering macro: rss Invalid parameter: url: no rss channel could be found.
