Hi All,
I am probably wrong or have not correctly understood how to use the module related to projects. If I select a project, I select infolog as the application, the records do not seem to be correctly sorted according to the start date. Changing the direction of the sorting nothing changes !!! See image.

Hi Stefan,
I have tried all dates and all types of sorting. The only one that does not work is sorting by starting date.
Any suggestions ?

Problem is start-date (pm_real_start) is not a mandatory field, so it can be left empty. In that case sorting looks wrong, because the planned start-date moves up, and you mistake it for a wrongly sorted (real) start-date.

You can spot the difference by looking if its in italics (planned) and also if it top-aligns with the value in the column to the left. If it does not, you see the planned start-date, after which you did NOT sort.

Hi Ralf,
I don’t understand your answer. I clearly show in the video at minute 0.50 that all the records have the start date and yet they are not sorted correctly !!!

Open the project and check they all have a (real) start-date and not just a planned start-date.

The sorting either uses the real start-date or the planned start-date, but it’s a little hard to distinguish in the list.

Hi Ralf,
let me insist to understand correctly. If I select a project I find archived everything that I have linked to the project. if I ask to see what is linked in the INFOlOG for that project I find the list of records. in the picture are represented the emails that I have linked to a project. In the emails, as you can read in the help, the start date is assigned automatically. How then is it that the sorting does not work ?

Look at the top line, you have a (real) start-date in normal font, and a planned start-date in italics below.

Now look at the other (wrongly sorted) line, and check they are not in italics, looks to me as they are, which means they get NOT sorted under that criteria.

Hi Ralf,
I understand what you are saying but then let me say that the headers are a little bit confusing to say just that. if you take an entry in infolog generated by an email the screen shot is as shown. The famous 2156 looks like this:

I see the Start Date, the Due Date and the Completed Date but I do not see the Planned Date which EGW seems to use for sorting. Using the Planned Date sorting seems to work. You will concede that the functionality is slightly confusing.
Thanks Gabriele

You still not understand it fully :frowning:

ProjectManager has multiple start-dates:

  • (real) start-date: when something really started
  • planned start-date: when something was planned to start

EGroupware apps might not support both dates and depending on the app only set one of them:

The sorting currently happens by either:

  • (real) start-date: the ones with no real start-date are unsorted
  • planned start-date: the ones with no planned start-date are unsorted

There is currently no sorting taking both into account while preferring one or the other!

Maybe we should always sort by both, and which of the two column header you click only differs by what to prefer, if both data are set:

  • (real) start-date: sort by real start-date, if set, and if not by planned start-date
  • planned start-date: sort by planned start-date, if set and if not by real start-date

I implemented that now, please apply it to your installation and give feedback, if it behaves more like you expected:

To install the commit into your installation run:

curl https://github.com/EGroupware/projectmanager/commit/0ae0e88980c5525a59b3004e5b893f8370d06513.patch | docker exec -i egroupware patch -d /usr/share/egroupware/projectmanager -p1
docker ecec egroupware kill -s usr2 1

If you’re happy, the following will make sure the patch survives a restart of the container or reboot of the host:

curl https://github.com/EGroupware/projectmanager/commit/0ae0e88980c5525a59b3004e5b893f8370d06513.patch | docker exec -i egroupware patch -d /usr/share/egroupware-sources/projectmanager -p1
