[PHP] Vermis - new issue tracker in PHP

2010-10-03 Thread Lukasz Cepowski

Hello,

I would like to introduce the project that I'm working on for a few 
months :)
Project is called Vermis (lat. bug, worm). It is an Open Source issue 
tracker and project management tool for software developers and project 
managers that has been created for improving quality of code, efficiency 
and speed of development. Designed as a standard web application written 
in PHP, it can be used on almost any platform and hosting service, 
including Windows, Linux and more.


Project is available here http://vermis.diabloware.com
The online demo is here http://vermis.diabloware.com/demo

The long term goal is to compete with commercial products like Jira and 
other open source software like Trac, Redmine, Mantis, Bugzilla etc.
Vermis is being distributed under terms of GNU General Public License, 
so you can use it both in open and closed source projects.


Why Vermis exists?
- Jira has a lot of features but it is hard to use, and first of all it 
is a commercial software

- Redmine needs RoR which is resource consuming
- Trac needs Python
- Bugzilla needs Perl
- Mantis, hmm i just didn't like it ;)

Why Vermis is better than the other products?
- Vermis is written in PHP and uses MySQL, which is probably the most
widespread and the cheapest web platform nowadays
- It doesn't require any additional software on a hosting server (except 
mod_rewrite which is also very popular)

- Currently it has similar functionalities lika Jira
- It growns very fast :)

What Vermis already has?
- Multiple projects in one place
- Web access from any place on Earth
- Public and private projects
- Many types of issues
- Components
- Milestones
- Versioning and the history of changes
- Dynamic grids (issue navigator)
- Many user accounts
- Online registration
- Notes
- File upload
- Comments
- Progress bars
- Email notifications

What Vermis will have?
- API via SOAP or REST
- Graphical reporting
- Burndown charts
- Agile support (Scrum)
- Custom issue types, priorities, statuses, etc
- Dynamic access control list
- Automatic collecting reports from the external applications
- Wrappers for PHP, Java, C#
- many more ;)

I'm inviting to watch, test and use Vermis.
Since version 1.0 RC3 Vermis is its own bugtracker, which is available 
at http://bugs.diabloware.com
The latest source code you can download from 
http://vermis.diabloware.com/download
Any questions you can post at the official project's forum which is at 
http://forum.diabloware.com


I'm looking forward for any feedback, comments and critique :)

Thanks,

I like what you've done there. The way you've got the name of the bug in
the URL is good also, which is very different to how Mantis and Bugzilla
do it.

There was one slight issue I found with the search feature. I added a
bug called 'new bug 3rd Sept 2010', but when I searched for the words
'new bug' (without quotes) it wasn't found. Also, when I tried putting
quotes around the two words in the search box, the quote marks were
escaped back into the search box value as \'new bug\'

Aside from that, it all looks good, and I look forward to being able to
use it in the future.

Thanks,

[PHP] Vermis The Issue Tracking System

2010-11-08 Thread Lukasz Cepowski

Hello,

some time have past since the last release and some changes have been made.

Vermis, the new open source issue tracker written in PHP,
based on Zend Framework and Doctrine ORM is heading towards stable 
version 1.0.


Today I would like to introduce the latest development version 
(r63-20101108) containing many bug fixes and some new features.


What is new in the project:

- Improved issues navigator, allows you to browse your issues in an 
easier way by breaking them by component, milestone, type, status and 
priority.


- SMTP integration, you don't need to setup a mail service on your 
machine, use any mail account and send notification emails via SMTP.


- IIS Support, even if you can't install Apache you can still enjoy 
using Vermis on your Windows box, finally Vermis is working under 
Microsoft IIS Web Server.


- Lightbox, show your image attachments in a popup box.

- Migration guard, you can safely upgrade Vermis to the latest version.

You can try out the online demo at http://vermis.diabloware.com

Feel free to test, download and use Vermis.
Please let me know if everything is working as it should, any kind of 
feedback is much appreciated :)

[PHP] JunkBox - File Download Analytics

2011-01-22 Thread Lukasz Cepowski

Hello,

recently I had a trouble with tracking how many downloads of files I 
get, that is why I have decided to write my own simple solution and now 
I would like to share with product that can be usefull for many of You!


JunkBox :: File Download Analytics

http://junkbox.ognisco.com

JunkBox is a lightweight web application that can track your files and 
record every single click. You can get the total number of hits and 
statistics on who downloaded your files and how and when. Moreover it 
is completely transparent so every link looks like an ordinary link to 
an ordinary file.


For example this looks like an ordinary link to an ordinary file:

http://files.ognisco.com/junkbox/junkbox-0.2-r93-20110120.zip

but, just add '?stats' at the end:

http://files.ognisco.com/junkbox/junkbox-0.2-r93-20110120.zip?stats

and here you can get statistics of how many hits per day this particular 
file has.


What's more you can go and list files in the directory where you can see 
hits counter for every file inside.


http://files.ognisco.com/junkbox/

And at the end you can get the list of the most popular files:

http://files.ognisco.com/?top

Also you can create your own custom theme.

JunkBox is distributed under terms of GNU GPL license.

Home page: http://junkbox.ognisco.com
Online demo: http://junkbox.ognisco.com/demo

Feel free to download, test and use JunkBox.
Any feedback highly appreciated.
