ExtJS 2.0 Project Management Application

[fendrikat]

Hi all,

...first of all, many thanks for eveyone for the great ExtJS framework and all the support from this forum! Without ExtJS and the help and support from many members, I would have never gotten where I am today ;)

So I have been working over the past month on a Project Management Application, which can be found as late-alpha/early-beta at:

http://www.ne-pm.com/Pwb3.1/
User: demo
Pwd: demo

It is by no means finished, still a lot of small stuff to take care of, but the basics are there now and seems to work ok...most of the time ;)

From an implementation point of view, I was actually putting another "framework" on top of ExtJS, so about 80-90% of the App is configured in XML-Files (and it should become 100%), not too much hard coded. Reason being for me was re-usability, so I could use the same App Framework for a internal small Training & Finance Management Application by only changing XML and of course a bit in the DB.

I hope to be able to go to market with a .0 version latest in march (well, doing already 2 contracts, so don't have as much time for this as I would wish and also I work in complete different area, so Javascript, PHP, MySql etc is not really my world normally). Anyhow, have to talk with ExtJS about License before of course ;)

Hope, you like it, maybe it is helpful and/or has useful things in there for the one or other or even ideas and any feedback would of course be very much appreciated :) Just will be out to HKG for some days, so replies may take a bit....

Again, thank for all for the help and support and feedback,

all the best

Frank :)

Frank that is looking really good man. I will check in from time to time to see the progress. I am interested in seeing the gaunt charts.

Hi Confused,
...thanks a lot :)) About the Gant - have to admit, I didn't plan to reinvent wheels, planning to use

http://www.fusioncharts.com/gadgets/Gallery/Gantt6.html

Seems to be easy to configure and integration works great, so I guess I will go with that. I could not imagie how much work it would be to do myself something of that quality.....
All the best

Ya, that looks pretty good and would do the job.

[violinista]

From me, as a user, this app looks little confusing.

But, in ExtJs programmer's point of view, it is really good.

It's your choice whether you're developing a tool for programmers/developers, or for "rest of us" - regular users, who have no idea what ExtJs is.

Cheers!

:)

there a error.. the link doesnt exists! =(

[mjhaston]

Man that's awesome. Some day I hope to be able to do that. I'll probably be assigned the task to do something like this with my company in the coming months and I'll have to do it in plain HTML with a few bells and whistles.

This is awesome. What's the back-end database?

Nice work.


Is that WYSIWYG long text tool in the ExtJS toolkit?

Really impresive, great work man!...=D>

My PC is just 12ms away from your demo site and the application really flies.

I had not realized that the Ext TreeGrid could do multiple levels, however in a few cases the node expansion clicks got confused allowing me to open a single node to indefinite levels and in another case a click opened and closed another tree grid node.

Do you intend to place some status info or chart in the main centre region frame?

Hi xmatt,
....just checked...seems to work fine...

Hi mjhaston,
...thanks a lot for you (and from others) word, I appreciate it very much !!
Back-end if PHP and MySQL and yes, the HTML text editor is from ExtJS - pretty nice complete pack :)

Hi SeaSharp2,
...thanks for the note about the multi levels, I still have to find a way to avoid that.
And yes, that is the main work still open - good project status visualization, some kind of "Dashboard", "Cockpit" or similiar will come - project-wide, per phase and per team....working on it, but may take a bit of time, too many other things going on these days...

you are loading an asynctree, and not feeding your backend a node parameter, so your asynctree loads endless levels under the leaf node. just pass a parameter to your backend, read it in, and only feed data for what level you are on.

[dantheman]

You should use the scrolling tabs (a la Ext docs).
When many tabs are open, the right-most are off the screen.. :D

Other than that nitpick, very nice work!

One of the things I've found (and sure there is a way around it but have not found it yet!)

http://www.ne-pm.com/Pwb3.1/
1) under main navigation, click 'Status Board'
2) collapse the main navigation pane by clicking '<<'
3) highlight 'status by team' and click 'Current Status Graph'
4) once the chart loads, expand the 'navigation panel' by clicking it in the center (not the >>, but the center'

see how it is behind the chart, or its borders are?

is there way around this? tia

[mrras25]

You should be able to put in before you render the chart the following:
chartDiv.addParam("wmode", "transparent");

wow .. this is very nice ... keep up the good work!!!!

I subscribe to this comment.
Beside this...it is a great application, I was looking for something similar.
Can you please describe in short how do you load the dynamic content ? I understand that you generate it in XML, by a PHP framework (which one is it?:P)...but how it is actually loaded into your pages?
Thanks

[cage]

Where do you guys get your icons? Really nice work !

[dfar2008]

good work!

[prophet]

Great work!
The loading speed is impressive too!

Best,
