Not the Ultimate yet, but headed the right way
-
I just wanted to start off by commending you on this plugin. I run a large non-profit website for which we have been in desperate need of a project managament plugin for a long time. Competing plugins that we have evaluated include Propel (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/propel/). The major limitation of this plugin is that it does not allow for access control to project information. There is also no option to upload documents from the front-end. However, Propel does allow for front-end listing of projects selected in the admin dashboard.
We have also looked at Ndizi (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/ndizi-project-management/). Although this once had the potential of really being the ultimate project management plugin, this prospect now appears lost since the developer has all but abandoned further development of the plugin. Ndizi however had many features I liked.
So, I share this with you to say there is great need for a great fully functional project management plugin. So far, I am using Propel on one site, and will likely adopt some use of your plugin. What would really sell your plugin for me, and would convince me to stop using propel would be two things:
-
The ability to view a list of projects from the front-end
-
The ability to define what page the project list is displayed on
Two more things that I would like to see changed a bit are:
-
the way project users are selected in the dashboard. My nonprofit has hundreds of subscribers signed on to our website. All these are listed in one narrow column on the Project editing page, creating a very long page to scroll through.
-
The addition of a “Project Budget” field in the “Project Details” table.
Otherwise, this is a really great start. I think what will define whether this plugin becomes the ultimate project management plugin is going to be your commitment to updating the plugin, and how well you integrate some of the ideas already presented here by others as well as by myself.
