web2project / web2project

A web-based project management system featuring gantt charts, time logging, and an extendable module system.

web2Project

web2Project is an Open Source system for online project management. It is based on an AMP-stack which means it is designed to run on Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

The best part is that it's free software. That means you can use it, extend it, customize it, delete it, change the colors of things, and even break it... all for free. We won't (and can't) demand payment, but that also means you can't demand help. Well, you can but then you look like a jerk and no one wants that.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3.8+
• Mysql 5.x+
• Apache 1.x+ or IIS 7+
• PHP extensions:
• GD (for Gantt Chart generation)
• mbstring (only if you're using multi-byte strings)
• zlib (for output compression)

Installing/Upgrading:

Installing or upgrading your web2project is quite simple. The definitive copy of this guide is online at http://wiki.web2project.net/index.php?title=Installation

For More Information

We're always looking for feedback. If you have suggestions on how to make the system better or questions on how it should work, we provide places for that.

http://github.com/web2project/web2project is our Github page. The code is always available here.

http://www.web2project.net/ is our homepage. This is where the latest and greatest news will always be. This is also where we keep most of the links to everything else.

http://docs.web2project.net/ is our documentation wiki. We always try to keep the most up to date documentation here. Sometimes it's not always the best, but that's the joy of a wiki. You're welcome to help make things better.

http://support.web2project.net/ are our support forums. Whenever you have a question not addressed by the documentation, this is the first place to go. It's not acceptable to private message someone without their permission. Although the core development team is smart, our community is even smarter and it's possible - if not likely - that someone has found and solved your problem before. Remember that polite requests always go farther than terse commands.

http://bugs.web2project.net/ is where we collect and track bug reports. No software is perfect and nothing always behaves exactly as you expect 100% of the time. If you find something that doesn't work as expected or is broken, file a report here. Remember, the more specific you are, the easier it is for others to reproduce and eventually fix it.

web2project's Issues

Cannot create a project

Click on New Project opens the New Project Form, and I can fill in all information. After clicking on Save button, I got a "Connecting" and "Waiting for" server messages on the left bottom part of the Form, and a "https://freelancer.com/index.php?m=projects&a=addedit&project_id=0" address appears in the address bar (note that freelancer.com is not a really name of the server - I changed it for security reason) ...

Project is not saved, not created. The newly saved project is not listed in the project list - I can create any project!

What is default password?

Hello,
I install W2P now I don't know what is admin password?

Potential security issue

Hi

The function array_csort() builds up some php code in a string, combined with parameter input (user supplied) and in the end does a eval() on the result.

If the user controls a parameter to the function, this can be turned to a security issue.

The function should be cleaned up to not use eval() at all.

web2project/includes/cleanup_functions.php

Line 592 in 84044f7

eval($msortline);

autoload_static.php missing + workaround

PHP Warning: require_once(/var/www/vendor/composer/autoload_static.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 28

Tasks - Edit mode - Field "Set task start date based on dependency"

The field "Set task start date based on dependency", on edit mode of a task, is mixed up along with it's checkbox. In the portuguese translation occurs the same thing. There are another examples of the same issue around the system. See the below image:

During Installation no Timezone selectable

in includes\cleanup_functions.php
function w2PgetTimezonesForInstall()
{
$file = W2P_BASE_DIR . '/install/sql/mysql/018_add_timezones.sql';

the filename points to wrong directory /install/sql/mysql doesnt exsist

Add risks tab in the project view

Basically, add a tab to view the risks regarding the project and ability to add risks from inside this tab.

Proposed Tab - won't show projects with this status

Projects setted with "proposed" status don't show up in the proposed tab.

Block double insert on task logs

Block double insert on task logs when the user click twice on the button to insert one register only.

Dependency Tracking - date not change

When we are update subtask new date (for example 1 week after) the main task start date automatically chaning. But if we will update subtask old date (for example change date 2 weeks ago) the main task date not chaning.

How we can fix this ?

Can you help us ?

Thanks.

Login issue

Login not working ? Or is it just me...

Undefined variable: m in locales/core.php on line 39

[3.3] Bug addedit.desc.php

You ave a bug in file ../style/_common/task/addedit_desc.php line 30

<?php $form->showField('task_related_url', $projects->task_related_url, array('maxlength' => 255)); ?> 

Replace by

<?php $form->showField('task_related_url', $object->task_related_url, array('maxlength' => 255)); ?> 

Because the value is not defined in the object $projects but in the given object $object

Installer does not create database

After pressing install db only or install db and write cfg in Step 2: Database Settings
the installer does not create database or config file and shows blank window just with header:

Declaration of CEvent::loadFull($event_id) should be compatible with w2p_Core_BaseObject::loadFull

Downloaded today. Fixed MySQL default date issue. The following warning appears in the log. PHP 7.0.22.

Creating user from LDAP

Which is the correct flow to adding a new user from LDAP?

I've successfully configured the LDAP options to my companie's AD. When logging in, I can see thought the logs (and error_log commands added by myself) that Web2Project can connect to AD an retrieve the user object.

But then, Web2Project tries to store the user object on the database, but there's no permission to that.

I got to the class classes/w2p/Extensions/Permissions.class.php, under function w2Pacl_check, and it is called with relevant parameters $op='add' $userid=-1 $module='users'. On the gacl_permissions table, there's no permission for userid=-1.

If I try to create a new user, there's no option to lookup the LDAP for user info.

What is the correct to add a user from LDAP?

New Project will not save

I just installed a new instance of Web2Project 3.4.0. When I try to create a new project and click the save button "nothing happens". After doing much investigation, I found that I am receiving the following message in my PHP error log:
\projects\classes\w2p\Database\Query.class.php(1132): query failed(INSERT INTO projects(project_company,project_name,project_short_name,project_owner,project_start_date,project_status,project_color_identifier,project_creator,project_active,project_type,project_created,project_updated) VALUES ('2','Test Proj','Test Proj','2','2019-01-01 00:00:00',3,'FFFFFF','2',1,2,'2019-01-25 16:39:05','2019-01-25 16:39:05')) - error was: Field 'project_id' doesn't have a default value

I went into the MySQL db and noticed that the auto increment is not set. After turning it on, it appears to work. However, I am receiving the same error for the budgets_assigned table. This table DOES have the auto increment set so I am not sure what is going on.

Any ideas? Thanks.

each() disappears in PHP 7

each() will disappear in a future version of PHP 7 and there is a warning in PHP 7.2. As an example, the following line in calendar.php should be changed.
while (list($key, $val) = each($array)) {
Change it to:
foreach ($array as $key => $val) {

error 500 php 7.2 version3.4

Hello everybody! Sorry for introducing my trouble and being such an embarrassing ignorant about coding and all its world... i just would need help after having upgraded in our cpanel from php 5.6 to php7.2 and discovering (after a while) that web2project didn't work anymore (http error 500). I also found the new web2p release 3.4 and tried to install, but after having copying all files in the sub-directories the browser didn't allow going on trough the installation, giving the same error 500... i know someone had already similar problems, but still i don't know how to solve it. Please try to explain to super-dummies!
In the same public_html directory there is also a wordpress website (in a sub-directory) therefore there are also 3 free files : index.php , .htaccess, php.ini are they making problem too?
Many many thanks!

Can't display CJK characters in Gantt chart

Hi,

The Gantt chart can't draw CJK characters, and I suspect other non-Latin language may have the same problem. All CJK characters are drawn as small boxes. It seems that the font used doesn't support all unicode characters.

There are two files have font family (FreeSans) hardcoded:
\lib\jpgraph\src\jpg-config.inc at line 67 and
\classes\w2p\Output\GanttRenderer.class.php at line 108, 147, & 211

It would be much better if there's an setting for administrators to select/input the font file.

I've tested with the bundled font from Windows 7 (msyh.ttf), replacing the FreeSans fonts and solved the issue.

Task duration calculation only support integer?

Hi,

I've set the working hour of one day to 8.5 hour. When I set the task time to from today 8:45 ~ tomorrow 18:15, and press the duration button, it always returns 8hr. I've tried with other time spans, such as a 10 day task, it calculates as 80hr
