New client section, updates to Planning, Reports modules and others

We are so busy working on our products and taking care of customers that I forgot posting an update about our product updates here! Here are some quick updates.

  • Planning Module 1.5.1 is out. Fixes a timeline related problem. It’s a recommended upgrade if you are still on 1.4 range.
  • Reports Module 1.7.1 is out. Fixes a few issues with permissions. Recommended upgrade.
  • Released Gravatar support 1.1. This is a compatibility release for activeCollab 2.3.2
  • All our products are now compatible with activeCollab 2.3.2 release.
  • Launched a new client section. Single place from where you can download all your purchases.

What are we working on these days? Some big ticket items on our current work list are:

  • Overhauling acGarage so that you don’t need to share your FTP details with us. I think this is going to be a major improvement, but will share details once I have a test version.
  • Pigeon work is slow for now, sorting out some technology decisions.
  • Building activeCollab 101 online course. Again, more on this in a few weeks!
  • Upgrades to PlannerX – multi user support, integration with OAuth system and feature enhancements

Our weekdays are busy and weekends are busier… I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Gravatar support available for activeCollab now

Quick Test: Which image can you relate to more? A or B?

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.

I have worked on hundreds of projects using activeCollab, Basecamp and other solutions. Many times I have not even met the client in person. Seeing their face just makes it so much more comfortable when I next call / email them.

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.

Enter acHack – Gravatar. This hack will pull avatar image from Gravatar if none found on activeCollab. It’s a little hack that makes a lot of difference.

Manage your Basecamp Project Templates using PlannerX now

this entry has 0 Comments/ in PlannerX / by Apps Magnet
June 22, 2010

Basecamp introduced Project Templates at the start of this month. Project Templates are a great way to organize project plans and follow set processes. If your projects have similar execution plan, you can create a template project in Basecamp, define milestones, todo lists and tasks, create messages and even set due dates on milestones. This was a long pending demand from many Basecamp users and can really cut down project plan creation time if you do a lot of similar projects.

Today, we added support to manage template projects from PlannerX. You can now create full outline of your standard project plan using the friendly and efficient PlannerX interface. Save it back and use that Template Project to create new projects in Basecamp. You get best of both worlds – super quick plan setup for both template project and new projects.

The integration is not yet perfect – milestone due dates may not work as expected, Basecamp does not support due dates on todos in template projects, and you can only assign items to people in the owner company in template projects. But it’s still a big step forward!

Tip: Make it even faster! Use PlannerX bookmarklet to open template project’s plan with PlannerX right within Basecamp.

A big thanks to Tzvi Kaufman for suggesting this idea.

PlannerX is our Basecamp add on that lets you manage your entire project plan using an outline, card and Gantt view. It makes planning projects 5X faster and is loved by hundreds of users!
