Hi SilhouetteBS!

Thanks for the feature request! It goes straight on my to-do list for this plugin.

Hi anordby76 and thanks for your feature requests!
Of course, these features are definitely high-priority and you will see them in an upcoming release. My main issue is finding spare time to work on this plugin, but my schedule is looking more promising ahead.

Hello sebast and thanks for your bug report and your additional information regarding the possible cause and workaround of this problem!

I will look into this and try to provide a fix as soon as possible.

Hi nyuwec and thanks for your report!

I will look into the 404 and comments issue. This must be under some external circumstances, I could not reproduce this problem in my environment (i can view and comment on issues in my theme).

What theme are you using? I am using wikiwp.

If you want to list all issues for a project you could link to a project in a menu. In wp-admin: Appearance > Menus. Toggle the top right “Screen Options” context menu and check the Projects and Issues checkboxes. You can now find their menu palettes to the left in the menu editor.

Workflow pages for issues is not implemented yet, the plugin is still in a really simple state right now, but I hope to find time to add some features such as this soon enough.

I am marking this as resolved since I’ve gotten no further feedback.

Great!
Thanks Niels for letting me know!
Merry christmas! ??

Best regards,
Webdez

Hi Niels and thanks for reporting this issue.
I have fixed the error now and it will be available in the upcoming release of the plugin.

The reason to the error: I was using a short open tag there which I do by old habit, some PHP installations does not allow these short open tags by default.

You can fix this yourself by allowing the use of short open tags: To use short open tags, it must be enabled in your PHP.INI. Search for short_open_tag in PHP.INI, and change the value to On. The line should look line:

short_open_tag = On

Thank you Dmitriy!
Awesome that you took your time to provide Russian translations to RSIT.
I will include them in the upcoming release with credits to you of course!

Best regards,
Webdez.

Hi McPringle and thanks for trying out the plugin! ??
I hope you find it useful!

Currently the plugin does not support any public forms, short-codes or template tags that allows users to submit issues publicly through a page or post.
It’s a nice feature though and I will consider implementing such functionalities in a later release of this plugin.

From my perspective the fundamental idea with the application of this plugin was that you would let your co-developers have a wp-user and access to wp-admin to manage issues directly from admin.
But of course I realize that there are so many other applications for this plugin than I can anticipate. Letting users submit issues is one of them.
Until next release, please feel free to adjust the code as you see fit.

Best regards,

Hi and thanks for letting me know!

Could you please check and verify the following:

• Did you get any message of unexpected outputs when you activated the plugin?
• Issues is a custom post-type in WordPress, check the left side menu pane for a menu item named “Issues”. It should be located just below the “Comments” menu item. It should have a pin-icon next to it, just like the posts-menu item.

Yes, Sightings requires PHP 5.3 at least. Now since the release of PHP 5.4 earlier this month there’s even more reason to consider upgrading.

Yes, as stated on the plugin page, Sightings system requirements is PHP 5.3 or later.
There’s a lot of bugs. I’m sorry about those, please keep reporting them as you find them and I’ll fix them as soon as possible. Also please update to the latest bugfix released tonight to solve some of them.

I will see if I find time. I will try to promote the newer technologies first whenever possible.
Meanwhile, try to get your web hosts or web hotels to upgrade their PHP versions. PHP 5.4 was released in march 2012 so that makes PHP 5.2 a legacy technology (released in 2006).

This error is due to your PHP version not being compatible with the system requirements for this plugin. Your version does not support the PHP magic constant __DIR__: https://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.predefined.php As you may have seen Sightings requires at least PHP version 5.3. I will see if I find time to make Sighings backwards compatible, but until then it is version 5.3 that is the minimum requirement.

Hey Rich!

Sorry for the late reply.
I don’t know if you have seen (or already ruled out) my plugin “Sightings”: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/sightings/
It was created for such purposes that you are describing.
Feel free to try it out and let me hear what you think.
