Three Components: upgrades, hacks and housekeeping

Three Components of acGarage

acGarage has three components – upgrades, acHacks and Housekeeping. We plan to add more services in future. acGarage is designed to simplify upgrades and system administration with activeCollab. We want you to focus on managing projects, not activeCollab!

Upgrades

We will upgrade your activeCollab core, custom modules, themes and even hacks. You subscribe to acGarage, and we take care of all upgrades. It’s that simple. As of now, acGarage supports the latest beta and stable versions of activeCollab. Planning, Reports, Notifications and Lightbox modules. Access, Chocolate, Green and Ocean Blue themes. And our own hacks to activeCollab. Learn more about supported products.

acHacks

acHacks is the second component of acGarage. They add useful yet missing features to activeCollab. acHacks are complimentary to all acGarage subscribers. We will release a new hack every month and maintain it. When you subscribe, you automatically get all these hacks and their updates. Learn more about acHacks.

Housekeeping

acGarage will automatically perform routine system cleanups and maintenance. This may include emptying the trash, deactivating passive users or projects, and completing child items whose parent is complete. Just set your housekeeping preferences on acGarage and we will carry them out every month. Learn more about housekeeping.

Focus on managing projects, not activeCollab

activecollab release history

activecollab upgrades - once a month

Did you know:

  • activeCollab released 14 versions over last 12 months. That’s one every month.
  • AppsMagnet released more than 8 versions of our Reports and Planning modules in last 8 months.
  • activeCollab upgrades do not preserve your customizations – modules, themes and hacks.
  • Newer versions pack a lot of useful features and security / bug fixes.

We avoided upgrading our aC installation for long time. We then realized everyone must be facing the same struggle. We wanted to solve it for ourselves and everyone else. And that’s where acGarage was born.

A customer pre-ordered, and was extremely happy

We mentioned in a forum post on activeCollab that we plan to release an upgrade service for activeCollab. To our surprise, one customer pre-ordered acGarage (before we even named the product or finished working on it!) Here’s what he had to say:

I think I want a signup link :) for the upgrade service… why don’t you let me be your first client?
