15 Nov 2008Recently I discovered dotProject. Not so cool looking as much as cool working application written in PHP for project managment. Have a look at this article.
If you experience problems with PHP errors at Files menu after installing the application here is what you might do to fix it.
Open the /modules/files/index_table.php file and somwere around line 105 you will find the code that’s causing the error. Just replace it like
/*
ORIGINAL CODE
$r->addQuery(’DISTINCT count(f.file_id) as file_versions’
. ‘, max(DISTINCT f.file_version) as file_lastversion’
. ‘, f.file_version_id, f.file_project’);
*/
/* MODIFIED CODE */
$r->addQuery(’DISTINCT count(f.file_id) as file_versions’
. ‘, max(f.file_version) as file_lastversion’
. ‘, f.file_version_id, f.file_project’);
Do the same replacement for folders_table.php file around line 280.
After that, your Files tab should work.
One notice, i experienced this problem on my live hosting, not on my local machine.

I believe nothing can compete with basecamp so far

We use the Basecamp extensively on work. I agree the Basecamp is better than this one, I just think some freelancers might see this as good solution for their projects.
Thanks for your input…

We were using Basecamp earlier but it did not meet our requirements. Now we are using DeskAway & are very happy with their service & features. DeskAway is much affordable than Basecamp & much promising than it.

I feel the DeskAway is more of a copycat!
their website it feels like basecamp with brighter color
but I think its good too!

I use dotPrject. I like it a lot, but it does get kind of tedious to keep up with updating projects all the time.
