Rancho a replacement for BaseCamp

[Rasiel]

needless to say, i think rancho is impressive, and comparable to
Basecamp. I personally pay for basecamp but hate its project limits.

I'm thinking of trying out rancho, in fact i will, with inhouse
projects and if it works for me then eventually scrap basecamp payment
plan.

the question is: does it have or are there plan for the power features
of basecamp, like an API and respond by email features?

great work guys, i myself am a djangonaut and love it, i think all
django users should implement this instead of Basecamp

Hi Rasiel,

We do intend to come up with new features and being able to do stuff
on Rancho from emails like replying messages, completing stuff, etc.
is on top of our ideas stack.

Another idea is to create a wat to import projects from Basecamp as
this should be useful for some people.


Thanks for your words.

Cheers,

Hi Rasiel,

In order to check what the problem is, can you tell us which Django
version are you running?
Have you tried to install it with a MySQL or PortgreSQL database?


Best regards,

[Rasiel]

installed on Django 1.0 with MYSQL database

Hi Rasiel,

I believe the error is now fixed (in the SVN version -- thanks to
Daniel).

Please let us know if this works for you.

Hey guys,

me again, installed svn version .. but now i get this error

TemplateSyntaxError at /auth/login/

Caught an exception while rendering: Could not import
rancho.wikiboard.views. Error was: No module named ho.pisa

[ranc...@gmail.com]

Hi Rasiel,

We changed the tool that exports the Wikiboards to PDF and since you
don't have it installed in your system it gives that error.

The new tool used is this:
http://www.htmltopdf.org/

Please install it and it should work.

Let us know if you have further questions.


Best Regards,

Hi,

About the ReportLab installation, just download ReportLab 2.2 from:
http://www.reportlab.org/ftp/ReportLab_2_2.tgz
then extract the file and copy the folders is under the src directory
to a place that belongs to Python path.

For example:
# cp -R src/* /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/

and ReportLab should be readily available.


We will document the dependencies and every change very soon, that's
because of something like this that this is called the development
version.


If you run into any other problems, let us know!

Best Regards,
