acHack – Gravatar



It’s always more satisfying to talk with people with faces. When you can put a face to a name, you suddenly feel related. This connection helps you collaborate better. activeCollab allows users to upload an avatar image, but most clients won’t bother doing it. This means you will see those dull, gray default avatar icons while you work with them on your projects.

This hack makes it all easy by loading user’s Gravatar image when necessary. It’s a little hack that will make a lot of difference!

Customer Opinions
Reports Module is one of the most successful activeCollab related products developed outside A51. Reports module can be a very useful and handy tool, especially if you’re working with clients and great number of people. Everything is accessible easily, available at one place, and simple to set up. 

Ivana Juga – activeCollab – a51

I suspect that many users may not be aware of how significant this type of reporting is to effectively manage projects. Once I get a chance to sit down and explain users within our organization how it works, they immediately get it and realize that traditional charting is not half as effective or useful. 

Willem Nieuwboer – GFX International

I have to tell you how successful your modules are at our company. Both Planning and Reporting are getting people crazy about project management!

acHack – Latest Comments First



activeCollab (up to version 2.3.4) shows comments in the order they were posted. So if you have a long list of comments, you have to navigate to the last page to see the most recent comment. This hack solves that problem. This activeCollab hack allows you to see comments in reverse chronological order (latest first) for discussions, tickets, pages and files.

Note: This hack is not required for aC 2.3.5 and above.

  

acHack – Copy Pages & Discussions



activeCollab allows you to create new projects from a template project. Creating a new project like this copies milestones, tickets and checklists. This hack will copy over Pages, Discussions and their associated data too to the new project. This way you create structure, organization and follow best practices for project execution and communication.

Incremental Backup copies only those files that have changed to the backup. This significantly improves backup performance. Apps Magnet’s Incremental Backup acHack takes the full database copy and incremental backup of the files. This provides you the most optimal and secure data backup for activeCollab.

I have purchased four AppsMagnet modules for activeCollab and am pleased with the results. They work pretty much without a hitch. The Planning module is especially useful. In fact, aC is only 50% useful without it as navigating around aC to create a large project is very discouraging. Our management has gotten into the aC habit largely because the Planning feature makes it almost as useful as Microsoft Project. But do let me make a couple of suggestions: (1) Planning ought to have a field that sums the estimated times for the project, either at the bottom or, preferably, at the top; and (2) Planning would benefit greatly if two columns were added for Estimated Cost and Actual Cost for each line item such as tasks, tickets or milestones. The Costs columns should sum the same way as the Time columns now do: all the tasks under a ticket sum to the total of a ticket, and all the subtotals of the tickets under a milestone should sum to a sub total for the milestone. And it would be nice if all the subtotals of the milestones would be depicted in a total project cost field next to the total project time field. This is the one thing that is missing that would make it a rival for Microsoft Project and, loaded into activeCollab, would make activeCollab an irresistible substitute for Microsoft Project or most any other online project planning system now available. So, food for thought. Great work!

Thanks! Estimates do automatically total up. You can check this under Settings menu in Planning module. As for the cost – that’s on our list for a future version :)

Jacques Island December 8, 2011 at 3:45 pm

Per your response to my posting re suggested improvements to the Planning module (I have v.1.7.3 loaded), I checked under Settings to see if there’s a setting regarding time totals for estimates. The only thing I see that could be what you mean is the “Work Hours Per Day” setting. What I meant in my suggestion to total up all hours for a project is that the Planning tab ought to show the total number of estimated hours that have been entered into line items. For example, if the estimated times for three milestones are 6h, 10h30i, and 12h15i, then the total of 28h45i (or 28.75 days) should be calculated and shown at the top or the bottom of the planning sheet. the sums don’t appear to go past the milestone level. This is just a suggestion that would help a project manager quickly tell how a project is adding up without having to manually sum up the totals of the milestones. By the way, why does the Planning module symbolize minutes as “i” instead of “m”?

Is the reporting addon going to be updated for AC 3?

Apps Magnet December 27, 2011 at 1:02 pm

Yes for sure! Almost all our products will be updated for aC3, soon after aC 3 is released.
