notifications - future plans/#2213

How about an RSS feed for notifications? PMs could have an RSS reader in email to be notified of changes with out logging in to Streber, clients could subscribe to feed to be notified of changes that affect them etc..

I implemented this yesterday :) Read more at RSS-Feed for each project ?

It will be part of the v0.08, although I am not sure, when this is out.

This tool and the development team are just amazing!

Not sure if "Reminder" is a separate issue but I have some thoughts about reminders.

The reminder should be based on the date the task is set to be done.
When the reminder should start nuke you with notifications via e-mail is up to each user but it could be;

• 14,7,5,3,2,1 days before
• and reverse when it's over due.

If you have more than one reminder one day they should be sent to you in the same e-mail to decrease number of emails. Or maybe one reminder for each e-mail with unique e-mail subject.

How often reminder should be sent should be a global user setting and/or set for individual project/task.

If the task should be done 31th january

Reminder could

this application looks amazing, add notification & reminder and I'm using it tomorrow!

another idea/advantage of notification is that it enables one to modifiy/acknowledge/comment task with a reply to the notification email.

but I think it may be to hard to implement for what it's worth

Sound interessting, but we should implement this over the api and write a separate mail client as gateway.

Would like to see this implemented as first. Right now I guess a user never gets notified about a task assignment, not even when firing the mail-trigger.

Is this something one could help in programming? Or is it done already in CVS?

Sounds like a bug.

The immediate Notifications are only sent if you bookmark / monitor an item. But a change in task assignments should be mailed like once a day (or what the user has set in his profile).

Hi pixtur

I observed this behaviour after opening a new task and assigning a person to it:

• the mail-trigger (....go=triggerSendNotifications) doesn't send a notification at all
• also I went to the person page and sent the e-mails to her ("e-mail jetzt senden")
• now there's a notification mail, but instead of saying something like "you've been assigned to task..." the person gets this general remarks:

/r/nSie wurden folgenden Projekten zugewiesen.
Testprojekt

We use streber also (must admit: mainly) as a ticketing system (wrong idea?) to assign customer support requests to individuals and therefore would like an e-mail generated every time a task assignment happens.

I'm not sure now whether this can be expected from streber or not when reading your post above. Since you provide the streber source code I could implent the wanted behaviour by myself - but before doing I'd like to know how to proceed best. I'm still having some difficulties witht he organization of this web site - I can't see clearly where to post feature requests, where to post questions that get answered by the streber community members and the like. I'll take the time to figure it out - but maybe you could write down some related links here.

PS: Is this forum closed?

Hi eh,

thanks for you comment.

About using streber-pm.orgπ

I wrote a quick introduction here:

• welcome to streber-pm.org

Using streber-pm as ticketing system...π

is perfectly fine! This is actually what I am using it for most of the time, too.

Notification problemsπ

What you describe seems to be a bug. So I created a new ticket and moved some of your description to it:

• notification are not sent after task assignment

Hi pixtur

Thanks for your immediate reply. I'll complete the ticket with more details tomorrow when I'm back in office.

Just to let you know: I'm very impressed of streber and I'm sure it will get it's share in the open source landscape. Every day using it I feel more comfortable with it's nicely designed UI and also the code - which I had to look at for a small code fix (documented here) is very clean.
