Dumb Question I think...

[DaveC]

Hi, everyone:

I am a dev manager/scrum master at my company, and after evaluating
nearly 30 tools I found I like the features ScrumDo offers best. I am
planning to run Scrumdo on my own server, but need to build an extra
that links to Bugzilla. I see that this is on the roadmap, and I
would be willing to contribute back what I develop.

I am an experienced web developer in Java, and a decent python
developer, but I'm learning django as i go. I of course know very
little about scrumdo, though I have read the developer guide, the
roadmap, and picked through the source code a bit.

I have installed and have running solr and the development
environment. i can create projects, stories, etc. I am running the
5-16 live version, and django 1.1.4, and mysql 5.1.

I am running on windows. this was a non-trivial but ultimately
successful adventure.

However, I have a few issues that I need help with:

(1) on scrumDo.com, the landing page shows the two-tab view with
projects and teams when you hit a url like /organization/myOrg. But
after installation, and creation of a project, my version loads a view
that does not show the project categories and projects-- it loads a
view that appears to be team management. how do i fix? I found
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URLNAME, but project.views.home, my current setting,
appears to be the right one.

(2) the production version has a side bar called "organization
tools"-- that includes export organzation and files. this sidebar is
missing on my version. does this mean i have some setup to do? I
assumed that if i run the server myself, i woudl be able to do all of
the things listed on scrumdo.com as 'premium features'. am I
incorrect?

Thanks in advance for the help!
Dave

Hi Dave,

There are some differences between the open source and scrumdo.com versions.  One of those differences is the interface for the organizations.  You should be able to manage projects and teams in either version, but it looks different.  That was due to us integrating in the subscription/payment options for scrumdo.com into that interface.

The other features you will find missing are file attachments, some of the 3rd party integrations, and planning poker.

I don't think a link for the organization export is exposed in the open source version, but it should work just fine.  Try a url like:

http://your-server/organization/organization-slug/export

We should add a link for that!

Any notes you might have on your installation would be appreciated.  I'm sure any troubles you had others will have as well and I'd love to get that posted on the installation instructions.

Thanks for the email,

-Marc

Hi, and thanks!

I will be happy to post some install notes.

Right now, core features will cover all my needs except two:

(1) Bugzilla interface.

(2) Dashboard view. I'm finding that I need a way to help executive
mgmt answer questions like:

+ when is the next iteration of project x
+what are the current sprint goals for active projects?
+what is prject velocity for each?

I will contribute whatever I write..

Thanks marc!

Hi Dave,

Did you eventually make this Bugzilla extra ?
I am really interested in this.

Actually no we didn't. We moved back to just using spreadsheets.
