Hey all,
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that there is a new tracker being actively developed over at
/trunk ? BrightSwitch - Trac
I've currently not come up with a name for the project, I was going by iTracker but that's just way to common of the name. Anyways this tracker is developed in PHP using PHP5 and is a very OOP based tracker, with lots of room to expand, it's well documented and is build using a very strict MCV design pattern.
Also this tracker has a fresh web 2.0ish style about it and is very easy to theme (thanks to the MVC design). While is not released to the public yet there are seenshots and even a screencast available for userse to view, I will be opening up a playgound soon for people to get a feel for the tracker and for me to hopefully get some feedback.
Hope to see you there.
Note: We are currently looking for another developer or two to help with progress on this tracker.
If you are interested please contact tk on the forums located at
http://binslashbash.org
Thanks.
Beta v1.0 revision 32
--------------------------------------
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE! READ THIS!
Know that this software is VERY EARLY BETA!
I 100% guarantee that some things will not work.
As of right now I don't want bug reports, or people telling me this is not work etc...
I am WELL AWARE of what's working and what's not.
--------------
Now with that out of the way the real reason I've released this is because I know people
are chomping at the bit to see this software, it's being worked on almost every day,
but keep in mind this is a project I do FREE and IN MY SPARE TIME! What does that mean?
It means things are going to move super fast, also I'm currently the ONLY developer
on this project.
--------------
Below are some rough (ok very rough) installation notes as the software installer is not yet built.
1) Create a mysql database
2) Look in the mysql/ directory of the version you just checked out
3) Dump (or upload) that .sql file to your created database
(mysql -u username -p -D database_name < file_name.sql)
4) Edit the following files:
./alpha/BrightSwitch/application/config/config.php
./alpha/BrightSwitch/application/config/database.php
5) Go to:
http://www.yoursite.com/ and login. (Username: admin Password: brightadmin)
6) Enter the "Administration Panel" and click "User Manager"
7) Find the admin user and click on "Edit User" once there change the password!
That should be all
