I've been experimenting with this patch on a checkout of Redmine trunk r2167. It seems like it could be a great improvement, though this patch is not yet feature complete:
  • the view doesn't handle issues which have been assigned to a target version (which itself has a set due date) but are missing a specific start- and/or due date. Such results in an error like this:
    Processing IssuesController#gantt (for 192.168.1.2 at 2008-12-25 01:30:30) [GET]
      Session ID: a8fdc48242b0d8a394ae19afefca3730
      Parameters: {"project_id"=>"test1", "action"=>"gantt", "controller"=>"issues"}
    Rendering template within layouts/base
    Rendering issues/gantt.rhtml
    
    ActionView::TemplateError (You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
    The error occurred while evaluating nil.<=) on line #271 of issues/gantt.rhtml:
    268: top = headers_height + 10
    269: @gantt.events.each do |i| 
    270:   if i.is_a? Issue 
    271:        i_left, i_width, l_width, d_width = get_position(i, @gantt.date_from, @gantt.date_to, zoom)
    272:     %>
    273:   <div id="ev_<%=i.id%>" style="position:absolute;left:<%= i_left %>px;top:<%= top %>px;padding-top:3px;height:18px;width:<%= i_width+100 %>px;" class="handle">
    274:     <div id="task_todo_<%=i.id%>" style="float:left; width:<%= i_width %>px;" class="task task_todo"> </div>
    

    which (for the due date only) can be fixed by using i.due_before instead of i.due_date in the view for these issues (see changes in r1455).
  • followup of above: the view should handle issues with an assigned target version (which itself has a set due date) by using the due date from the targetted version as the fixed due date of the issue (so without calendar link).
  • the gantt-objects shouldn't be draggable (to the right) when the issue due date is fixed by an assigned target version's due date. Only the start date should be changable by dragging it to the left.
  • issue's due dates should be marked when it's linked against a target version's due date.

Looking at the above sum I'm guessing that I am probably able to implement the changes myself in some time. Probably most needed enhancements could be made by adding some nested if i.due_date?-structures. I'll see what I can do...

Greetings...

I'm sorry for the delay in my reply.
I overlooked your comment.

How about this patch?

The changes are below:
  • The view can handle issues which have been assigned to a target version (which itself has a set due date).
  • Issue's version is displayed when it's linked against a target version's due date.
  • Check issue's dependencies and update other bar when the date is changed.

This seems to be solving most (or all) issues I've ran into when testing this. As soon as I have my devel-deployment updated to current trunk (currently stuck at r2167) I'll start some more tests on this patch...

Maybe you should get some ideas from the ClokingIT code, if the license permits it.

There's a video showing the interactive gantt chart.

I've tested the updated patch against trunk at r2641 and it seems to work (very) fine by now. All the mentioned issues are handled.
Only one last thing that comes up by now: the changes in the issue's start-/due-dates aren't reflected as issue-journals [ - sic - ] project-activity.

HTH... ;-)

great feature ! one small bug : after moving an issue, dates are correctly updated (in the second column), but in the calendar the date is the previous value (not the new one).

It would be also nice to be able to change the start and end of an issue directly with the mouse.

I love the idea and the possibilities but it lacks stability on r2671 it works.
On other versions its broken by updates and other plugins.

Is there a chance that this would make it to the core? Or a plugin if that is not feasible?

What kind of issues do you create?
And could you send a html source when the gantt chart is broken?

Just wanted to let everyone here know, I have a huge rewrite of the Gantt chart I'm working on. It has a bunch of new features and I removed a lot of duplicated code (HTML, PDF, and PNG rendering where duplicated). It's still being tested and could use some optimization but I'm hoping to have it ready in the next month or two.

One remark about the (nice) plugin initialised by Hiroyuki Yoshioka : when moving an issue with the mouse, the modification is done immediately, so the issue's history is updated. This is fine if you are sure of what you are doing (for example task planning is already fixed and you just apply it in redmine). My point of view is that the gantt char edition feature using the mouse is especially usefull when you are trying to find the best planning for your tasks. In that case, you'll probably have to move each issue several times before reaching a satisfying planning. This will cause a huge list of "date changement" in the history, which is not relevant. My suggestion is to have a "validate" button which will apply the Gantt Chart modifications when we are satisfied with the planning.

This is a user feedback, I don't know if it easy to do ;-)

Hi Eric,
I hope you are doing well and successfully handle your multiple redmine projects...
Did you manage to move forward on this one? Hiroyuki's patch is now a vital feature for my team but I struggle each time I want to upgrade Redmine trunk, so your support in this (especially in including it in the trunk?) would be great...

I just realized how useful this feature would be during the planning of a project, especially if, as Loic suggested, it was possible to commit all changes at once when we're happy with actual plan. Hiroyuki, would it be possible to include this feature?

As for Eric's rewrite vs Hiroyuki's patch: would both be compatible, mutually-exclusive or redundant?

As always, thanks for all your work, guys!

It's in a client's Redmine so I can easily extract it. It is a core modification, there isn't any way to do this from a plugin except for rewriting the core classes.

  • logic in the controller should be moved to the moved
  • javascript assumes Redmine is running at the domain root and uses a hardcoded url to '/issues'. Should use the Rails url helpers

The problem is the method of caching data before apply without updating database,
and the collision with other users operation.

I've just run this patch against v1.1.1 as it works perfectly. Great addition to include show the start and due date as columns in the Gantt chart as well.

My only other recommendation would be to have a column to show Assignee (there may be a plugin or patch already that I'm not aware of).

The other outstanding improvement would be to allow administrators to specify the working week + holidays to avoid tasks getting scheduled on weekends or other non-working days. I see this is being suggested with feature #2161.

Thanks again for this great patch!

I've just looked through the roadmap for v1.1.2 and v1.2 and don't see this being incorporated into the core Redmine system. For me I feel this is a must have for anyone wishing to replace their existing project scheduling system and move over to Redmine and would strongly recommend it becoming part of the core application.

I'm fairly new to Redmine and these forums so can anyone explain how this review and incorporation process works.

Thanks.

I've just applied the latest patch (v1-1-1), but it seems there are still a few issues with it.

When changing the start or due date on the Gantt interface it displays a warning pop-up with a blank message (see screenshot attached). After clicking the 'OK' button, the Gantt chart then moves the bar to the wrong place in time. If you then refresh the screen it accepts the change of date and moves it back to the correct position. However, if you then click on the start or due date (depending which one you just changed) then it has the previous, incorrect date highlighted.

In short, it seems the change of date is being saved correctly, but you need to do a manual browser refresh in order for it to be accepted and even then it's not displaying the correct date in the pop-up calendar.

I really feel this patch is a major addition to Redmine and would love to see these minor issues ironed out if possible.

My other request would be to reduce the width of the column with the start and end date and also include a column with the 'Assignee'.

I have applied the latest patch 'gantt_edit_2_v1-1-1.patch' and completed some initial testing.

It has fixed the problem with the pop up error box, which is good. However, when changing either a start or due date it automatically
refreshes the screen and displays the dates incorrectly on the gantt chart. If I then manually refresh then it moves them to the correct date, so obviously it's saving it to the database OK.

The other problem is that I have a number of inter related tasks, which precede and follow one another. When changing the due date through the gantt interface, it doesn't re-adjust the dates on the related issues correctly. However, when changing the start date it does re-adjust the related issues correctly. In the previous version both changing the start date or the due would work fine, so it seems this last bug is something introduced in the latest version.

I have just tried the new 'Better Gantt Chart' plugin in conjunction with this patch and it seems to have resolved the problem with re-calculating dates for related issues. However, there are some compatibility issues between the plugin and this patch (see http://www.redmine.org/boards/3/topics/22288).

I hope this helps. I'm happy to give further feedback if you need. I am currently running 'Redmine 1.1.2.stable.5022 (MySQL)'

I really like this plugin and I can see it adds a huge improvement to Redmine. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist the development of this plugin. As I mentioned in my forum post (22288) it would be great if the authors of this patch and the 'Better Gantt Chart' plugin could join forces somehow.

Thanks for your quick response on this Alexey. As reported in the plugin forum post (http://www.redmine.org/boards/3/topics/22288) the new version of the plugin has resolved a number of the bugs, which is great.

Hiroyuki,

When using patch #2024 with the 'Better Gantt Chart' plugin, the current outstanding issues with the patch are as follows:

  1. when changing either a start or due date it automatically refreshes the screen and displays the dates incorrectly on the gantt chart. If I then manually refresh then it moves them to the correct date, so obviously it's saving it to the database OK.
  2. when you try to change the start or due date through the Gantt chart interface using the date picker, it automatically updates the date value (and therefore the bars on the Gantt chart) when you move between months, even if you haven't actually selected a date.

It would be great if it is possible to fix these 2 outstanding issues. I really feel that this patch, combined with the plugin greatly improve the standard functionality of the Gantt chart in Redmine. As Ivan Cenov added (http://www.redmine.org/boards/3/topics/22288?r=22292#message-22292) it would be great to see this functionality incorporated into the core Redmine system at some point in the future.

Thanks,

Chris

Nevermind, I'm thinking of being able the start and ends of the bar :P I see that the entire bar slides and now there is a start and end calender picker.

Couple of Issues/Bugs
#1. The Gantt Project/Issue line items don't render properly in IE9, not sure if your issue or general redmine gantt issue. See attachment.
It seem that by default, IE9 renders the page in IE 9 Compaibility view. Although the Titles are missing, I can properly slide the gantt bar.

#2. When in regular IE9 rendering, the line items display properly, however the bar no longer slides. This must be why IE9 tries to render using Compatability view by default.

You can drag and drop the bar under the following conditions.

Thank you for your effort in providing and updating this patch! This feature and its UI implementation looks very promising and I would be happy to see this feature in Redmine soon.

After a quick review, I found some potential issues (in 0001-Moving-gantt-bar.patch however, which may need to be addressed:

  • The new route is inconsistent with the rest of the routes. It should be under /issues/gantt, i.e.
      put '/issues/gantt/:id/change_duration', :to => 'gantts#change_duration', :as => 'gantt_change_duration'
    
  • You allow to set any parameter or custom fields to the issue, not just duration related parameters. While the given params appear to be checked by safe_attributes (which thus probably doesn't cause security issues), this might still be surprising. Maybe it's useful to filter the allowed parameters?
  • The view contains A LOT of code which mixes complex Ruby logic and Javascript template generation. It might be helpful to extract the Ruby parts into a helper and separate the generation of the Javascript response from the Ruby logic. This would also allow to actually test this logic.
  • In the view, you appear to parse and update generated HTML response code of the Redmine::Helpers::Gantt object as well as directly access private method and instance variables. This is rather brittle (and slow and potentially insecure). Instead, it's likely a better path to update the class and add appropriate render methods directly.

Apart from that, it would be very helpful if you could include some tests:

  • For the controller action, we should at least verify the happy path as well as handling of permissions, conflict handling, and validation errors
  • The view / helpers should be tested in order to describe the desired behavior (which I find very hard to follow right now).
