How do I add new users to the "Watch List" for a particular bug in Redmine so that they will get updates for changes to said bug?
Ok, so this is a case of "the best to place to hide is in plain sight."
To add a user, open the bug and in the bottom right there will be a section called Watchers. Next to that is an Add link. Click that, and select the users to add to the watch list. Screenshots below.
If you are in the process of creating a bug, you can scroll down to the bottom of the "New Issue" section, and select the watchers there. This method will also ensure they are emailed about the creation of the bug. IIRC, adding them after the fact doesn't result in their being emailed until an actual change is made to the bug's status.

I'm using REDMINE.
I have a list of projects on the screen.
Is it possible to add details of the ticket content to this screen?
I'd like to look over the screen at once instead of clicking with the mouse, how do I do that?
Also, if you have any plugins or useful tips and so on, please let me know.
Tamazawa, I believe you might be referring to "My Page" of Redmine where you could use widgets to decide what you see on that dashboard - keep in mind that such dashboard s project independent, so it can display issues from many projects that you are a member of on 1 screen.
For instance from My Page, you should be able to select an "Issues" widget to Add and set it up to pull a list of items to display using a saved custom query.
That should give you a snapshot of tasks at hand, without the need to click around the screen too much.
You may need to set up your saved query such that:
Description and / or
Last notes
are checked (if you want to see issues at a glance, without the need to open each one separately).
Alternatively, you can skip that "My Page" idea altogether, if you're ok with just opening a saved query with Description and / or Last notes selected.
I am running into an issue when opening the Change Publishing restrictions or Publish Settings dialog and Click OK to close the wizard. All my versions for the Item are Modified with the Current Date and Time. Thus, loosing all the version history for that Item Language. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is not possible out of the box (or as far as I am aware). You will need to modify the existing set publishing form. I posted a solution in Bit Bucket Keep in mind that this might not reflect your case as I am not sure which version of sitecore you are using. Basically the code is overriding the existing OnOK code which foreaches all the versions and updates them, adding the following line:
// Modify Here
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(dateTimePicker1.Value) && string.IsNullOrEmpty(dateTimePicker2.Value))
{
continue;
}
It means that if both pickers were left empty - it won't modify the item version. Please keep in mind that I just smoke tested this solution, so I suggest you run it by sandbox first :)
I can't seem to click the "Editing" "Designing" "Controls" "Navigation bar" checkboxes in the View ribbon on the Page Editor. Is this a permission thing? Haven't found a way to enable it (I have it enabled on a mirror/development version so I know it works)
Thanks
Apparently for anyone checking this out, if you don't have the appropriate item commands in your Commands.config file, then they will neither enable or disable these options.
So the solution is to check your Commands.config file and make sure you have the appropriate "webedit:toggleeditvisibility", etc. commands in there.
Must be a permissions thing. See if your user is a member of sitecore\Author and sitecore\Designer, if you're not using a user account marked "Is Administrator"
I have several Sitecore items (whose template is connected to an approval workflow) that will not go into Edit mode when clicking "Edit" from the "Review" tab. The same workflow is used elsewhere on the site successfully (the site is more than 3 years old), but clicking Edit in this case doesn't seem to affect the workflow state.
I've turned on verbose logging, which provides a lot of detail, but nothing to indicate any error conditions. I've been comparing how this template is configured with other "working" templates for a couple of days and everything looks Kosher, but surely I'm missing something obvious.
EDIT: The item(s) in question are imported by a data provider, and I've confirmed that for some reason Sitecore is not setting the "Workflow" and "State" system standard fields with a default value. That appears to be at least part of the issue.
EDIT 2: Followed the steps in this thread http://sdn.sitecore.net/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=45991 to use Sitecore Rocks to update all of the items to the correct Workflow State, but the update did not stick. For some reason workflow changes are not persisted for imported items.
EDIT 3: Clicking the Edit dropdown button under the Home tab displays the message "The item is currently not part of a workflow."
Standard values set correctly? Only have one Standard Values item for this template?
Generally, almost every time I run into a situation where X works on certain items, but not on others... it's a permissions issue. You've tested this as an Administrator I hope?
Sorry my suggestions are so vague, but it's hard to be specific here. We need some more information from you... When you click on Edit what exactly are you expecting to happen? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "Edit mode" here. In Content Editor, all items are essentially in edit mode all the time... In my configuration, when I click on Edit, I am just locking the item. It does not change workflow state or create a new version.
These items are coming from a data provider... is your data provider handling Lock/Unlock calls properly? I know it's possible to use a data provider without implementing the entire Item API.
I'm experiencing a problem with the severity of the bug work items generated by me builds occasionally failing while using TFS 2010 (after checking in bad sources of course).
My boss has decided that a build failure for my project should rank 2nd most important in the severity ladder, not first. He want to reserve the critical status for project which rake in the money, not the projects for building the codebase of our CMS.
I'd still like to be notified when a build fails, but he won't allow me to keep the severity of the bug at 1 - critical, which is the default value of the generated bug work items.
I've been trying to change the work item severity, but I can't seem to be able to find the location in the buildtemplate I've been using for my project. (DefaultTemplate.xaml, just the default agile team project process template)
I've searched the whole template for the activity which adds a work item if the build fails, but to no avail.
I suspect it is some setting in one of the activities or that it is dependent on the associate changesets and work items activity, but that activity doesn't seem to have a setting for setting a severity.
I'm not very skilled when it comes to editing these build templates, but so is noone else over here, so I'm it.
I've found a blog which claims you can change this, but the template used seems to be different from the one I use.
http://geekswithblogs.net/jakob/archive/2010/04/28/modify-build-failure-work-item-in-tfs-2010-build.aspx
I've tried finding the IfCreateWorkItem activity mentioned in the blog post in the build template, but I can't find it.
Also I'm unsure if adding the work item activity will prevent the critical item from being posted. I suspect it will add a new work item in case of failure in addition to the other work item unless I turn off the associate changesets and work items setting, which I don't want. (if tests pass I want the associated work items to change state to passed too)
Related to this matter is the person to whom the bug is assigned.currently this is the NTAuthority account. I'd like to change that to the person who submitted the last changeset used for the build. I Can't find a setting for that either.
If you find the "Create Work Item" step of the Template:
Right click on this and do "Properties" in the Properties window you will see a "CustomFields" that can be edited. Click the "..." elipsis to open the Expression editor:
From there you can adjust the properties.
I needed to make the same change and couldn't find the "Creat Work Item" section either, at first. You have to expand (double-click) the Exception section of "Try to compile project".
