  • In the various views, the comment is just a single line. In a future version it would be great if this column had a popup that shows the complete comment complete with linebreaks. (http://www.plasticsc...client-request/)
  • Everyone needs read/write access on at least the storage directory (and bin if logging is turned on). Otherwise no graphs. The built-in IUsr user does not do the trick.
    'Everyone' is not a good choice for this and it should be changed into something more secure. (http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/1198-webclient-setup-problems/page__st__40)

  • Make the changesets and branches view fully functional. Date format issue. (http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/1198-webclient-setup-problems/page__st__40)

  • Small 'bug': only changesets/branches per year per month is in color, the others are grey (but popup is in color).

  • In the main screen after login there is some text i'm not able to fill with tht client: 'A brief description of the repository'. Is this future functionality? The same holds for the user-images.

  • There seems to be no syntax highlighting for php files based on the opening tag <?php (I have some drupal modules checked in and they have non standard extensions like *.module). It would be nice if determining syntax hightlighting would also include this kind of opening tag info. I checked and *.php files are highlighted nicely.

  • Sort the repositories alphabetical on their name instead of on repository id.

  • Only "jpg.h" images are allowed for avatars.

Some remarks, already posted them in the community discussion:

  • Try to look at scalability of the user interface (so not performance wise but a simple: will it fit/be usable). For example the popup graph containing weekly changsets creation has a legend with colors of users. For a larger team this will not fit anymore.

  • It would be nice if you can also perform a checkdatabase on one or more repo's.
  • The branches view only contains added files, no other operations are shown.
  • When under branches a branch is selected it's not easy to go one level up and choose another branch (it works with the back button, but it would perhaps be easier to use the branch path on top (/main/task001) as a kind of breadcrumb and make the parts clickable).
  • The ability to criss-cross navigate from labels to changesets (and between other things) is really nice!

  • 'bug' in one projext i have a date (saturday 14-april 2012) with below it a whopping 258 changesets. Most of these are not from that date (I assume the header of this section should read something like 'older' or 'before ...'.
  • In the same view some changesets show a date (not entered by me) and some more recent show comments. The time column only shows time (which is good but not for the last section mentioned in the previous point. The last older then section should include the date somewhere imho. Maybe a tooltip on the changeset link would be a good spot (or else the time column).

This is already handle for big companies, only the top users are going to be shown.

I'll add it to the list.

  • In the main screen after login there is some text i'm not able to fill with tht client: 'A brief description of the repository'. Is this future functionality? The same holds for the user-images.

Yes, future functionality. But I'll add it to the list.

  • It would be nice if you can also perform a checkdatabase on one or more repo's.

Do you mean the check database integrity command? Ummmm I think it's not a good idea, that command is a very internal command and it requires a high level of understanding.

  • The branches view only contains added files, no other operations are shown.

Can you post a screenshot of the Plastic GUI Vs the WebUI information? Please in a net topic.

  • When under branches a branch is selected it's not easy to go one level up and choose another branch (it works with the back button, but it would perhaps be easier to use the branch path on top (/main/task001) as a kind of breadcrumb and make the parts clickable).

What about clicking again in the branches view?

The changesets, branches and labels date filter is not working.

Can we check this connected?

Thanks!!!!

If we get connected I'll show you how to enable the user avatars.

Hi Manu

Do you mean the check database integrity command? Ummmm I think it's not a good idea, that command is a very internal command and it requires a high level of understanding.

I ment not the output but just a healthy indication, so more in the line of a red/green led/light.

What about clicking again in the branches view?

One can branche branches again and again, so a path to \main will be there. It would be handy if you can click on each part of this path (so each parent branch). Clicking branches goes back to the list. I ment not to replace this but as an additional means of navigation.

The changesets, branches and labels date filter is not working.

I know but is this caused by absence filtering? It seemed to be like a fault in the grouping of changesets.

I'm currently on the road but post some screenshots tomorrow.

Hi Manu

I have found the cause of the 'bug' I reported that a lot of revisions where under a single date. Examining the check-in comments I noticed that it was one of the few projects I have converted from sourcesafe to plasticscm (so all the changesets are indeed from a single date (I could not find another way to do it and 'misused' the comment to carry the original sourcesafe date).

So mystery solved.

Pablo will be sending you the instructions and the new top secret 4.2 release!!!

Btw any plans to support Mercurial natively like git?

If you have some spare time to show me the user images please either propose a meeting or pm me the instructions.

ummmm maybe @psantosl can give us more info.

Ok, It's not a secret :) we explained it in the webinar, you just need to place insise the "plastic\Content\img\avatar" directory your users avatars. You need to name the files as your users names, for example "mlucio.png"

Then restart the webui.

Hi Manu

I just added the image but i do not see any changes (i restarted the website and the links still point to the anonymous image).

The username shown besides it is correct.

On one installation (with all repositories mounted) i still do not see commit graphs in the main repositories list (there are subdirectories and files below storage & chartscripts).

regards

Hello - Is the source code for the Web UI available? I'm wondering if you've written an SDK/wrapper for plastic operations... I'd like to contribute a REST API (or the starts of it at least) that could be hosted in the Web UI app. Later, you could refactor Web UI to use REST services for heavy-lifting...

 

I'm afraid this is not entirely selfless, I'm finding myself in need to automate my CI process and I need access to pscm data and I'm reluctant to use CM via command line.

 

I've posted an idea in uservoice to gauge interest: http://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/181909-webui/suggestions/3645715-provide-rest-api

is there some good reason this thing is tied to IIS?

 

You have taken the effort to make Plastic SCM Server work under linux so it's a shame the webUI is not. Even ASP.NET can run under Apache (I think) which you could bundle with the server install perhaps. Dunno..
