Bugs, etc for this specific project

What?
This command allows you to post messages such as Bugs, Issues, Suggestions and so on for your specific project and use those messages over the Internet

This uses the excellent open-source Project Management system called Kanboard You can easily install it on a server. See https://kanboard.org for details

Or you can buy a cloud server from http://www.architectsoffice.net and use the project management module in that cloud server.

If you do not know how to use a Kanboard, you should refer to its [[https://rjb.architectsoffice.net/projects/?controller=DocumentationController&action=show|documentation here

You would need to set the following Project properties in your TAD file in order to use this

  1. ISSUE_PROJID This is the project ID at the Kanboard system. The very first one will have an ID of 1
  2. ISSUE_APITOK This is obtained from the main Kanboard settings page. Once there, you should be able to see the API link on the left side. Click on that and copy and paste the set of characters next to the words API Token You would also notice that it mentions the API ENDPOINT Copy and paste that for the next property below
  3. ISSUE_APIURL As explained above, you should copy and paste the URL you see in the API ENDPOINT in the settings page of your office Kanboard

Why?
When working on a design project; the office would be encountering many bugs, issues, suggestions. Instead of letting all those float around loosely by verbal talk, this allows you to collect all of them centrally into the Kanboard based project management system.

All messages can be viewed and edited easily on the web. You can invite other people into that Kanboard to contribute and you can even set access controls for that Kanboard separately so that only the right people carry out the right actions on the Kanboard

Watch-out!!
If the messages are NOT getting populated in your Kanboard, then first ensure that the above three project properties are correctly given

In the Kanboard; make sure each project has the following swimlanes:

  1. Ordered List ItemThe zeroth one (which is usually termed “default”) is for Bugs
  2. The next one is for Issues
  3. Third is for Suggestions
  4. Fourth is for Project Help
  5. Fifth is for Jobs

If nothing is still happening, please tell your software administrator to modify the config.php file of your installation of Kanboard so that it contains the following directive also:

define('API_AUTHENTICATION_HEADER', 'X-API-Auth');
