Updated to 7.8.5 several weeks back and have had a few interesting anomalies. This one we just noticed, as most of our projects are created from templates. When we create a manual project and add a task from the pop-up dialog, the task name is reflected as “undefined”. I have performed a quick rebuild/repair and checked permission on directory structures. Checked log files. Once the task is created, there are several entries stating “Unable to get proper side for link project_name_link”. Did a little research and added the following line to project_name_link array in modules/ProjectTask vardefs.php - ‘side’=>‘right’
I checked the file (in “blame” mode to see who changed it) and it doesn’t seem like that code was changed (not since the “initial commit” 4 years ago…)
Many apologies for the slow reply and lack of clarity in the first post, it was a long day :). I forgot to mention the line I added to vardefs.php cleared up the log file ERROR message, but the issue still remains. When a new task is created from the pop-up dialog the task name always reflects “undefined”. We have to re-edit the task from the “project tasks” sub-panel to rewrite the name in the DB.
Hmm… Works like a champ on the demo site. Just spoke with the admin reporting the issue. She mentioned is was working fine, then suddenly “POW”!!! broke :). We haven’t made any modifications on our end (I’m aware of). Sounds like this one’s going to be a fun one!
Strange indeed. Is your problem only when creating the task from a pop-up dialog? Is there any other way to create a task that you can try to contrast (sorry about my ignorance, but I don’t use the Porjects module)?
(I ask this because there are currently a few bugs that only happen when you start something from a dashlet, so a pop-up window appears)
Yes, it appears to only be with the pop-up dialog. We mostly use templates and they port properly. Also when creating or modifying a task from subpanel works properly
