vBulletin Project Tools 1.0.1 is a maintenance release to our first vBulletin add-on. It contains a number of bug fixes since the release of 1.0.0 a month ago.

Some of the bugs fixed include:

• 22458 - "Can View Others' Issues" permission unnecessarily required for an issue type to be visible
• 22460 - Uploading an attachment causes quick reply text to be lost without a warning
• 22549 - Page navigation touches issue list table in Opera
• 22700 - Project counters not rebuilt when moving an issue to a different project
• 22422 - "Magic selects" placed incorrectly in Opera

See a full list of bugs fixed between Project Tools 1.0.0 and 1.0.1

Additionally, if you are using vBulletin 3.6.8, projects shown on the forum list will be shown in the subforum list when necessary.

Upgrading/Installing Project Tools

Upgrades and new installations of the Project Tools follow the same process: upload the files and import the XML. After this, you will see a message that your upgrade or install was successful. For full instructions on how to upgrade or install, please see this manual entry.

About Project Tools

Seamless integration with vBulletin ensures maximum usability, and an administration suite within the vBulletin control panel allows full customization of projects, issues, tasks and user permissions.

Template Changes since Project Tools 1.0.0

Templates with Mandatory Changes Since Project Tools 1.0.0

A mandatory change indicates that functionality will be explicitly broken if you do not apply this template change. This could be as small as a broken image or as significant as data loss. Always make sure these changes are applied as soon as possible.

Remember, you only need to manually apply changes to templates that you have explicitly customized. Use the "Find Updated Templates" option and cross reference with this list (if you are upgrading from PT 1.0.0). We recommend reverting your customized templates and recustomizing them to guarantee you have all the necessary changes.

• pt_issue
  
  • Mandatory Change: Changes to allow a more flexible text editor size. (Quick reply will be very small if you don't do this.)
    
  • Changed onSubmit to onsubmit for XHTML compliance.
    
  • Changed all <label> tags to include the "for" attribute that is necessary for Internet Explorer 6.
    
  • Add a JavaScript alert if quick reply has text when an attachment is uploaded (as the text would be lost).
    

Templates with Non-Mandatory Changes Since Project Tools 1.0.0

Your Project Tools installation will not be broken if you don't apply these changes, but small bugs may be fixed and new functionality may be available by applying these changes. We recommend you apply these changes in the same way that you apply mandatory changes.

  Changed all <label> tags to include the "for" attribute that is necessary for Internet Explorer 6.
