Yes, we know we're late and we apologize for this. Next Tuesday we will be releasing Dingo 1.5.8 [Endre] which incorporates about 45 changes. From a functional perspective, the biggest difference is in what we call "item visibility."
In all previous versions of Dingo, the only way a visitor could touch Dingo was via the Visitor Ticket. A project that had been deemed public could have anonymous guests submit tickets into the Dingo item table. This part remains unchanged, but we've taken that a step further. Now within the Project edit screen you will notice two dropdowns that control item creation and visibility.
This means if you set both to Everybody, that project, and all tasks within can be accessed by all users, even the anonymous guests. While Dingo isn't a forum product, that's a good example how this might be used. If you wanted to allow anyone to view tasks and make comments, this would be a way to do it.
When Creation and Visibility are set to Project Members, it means only those who have been assigned to the project will have those tasks appear in their dashboard.
Our intention with this was to improve client access as we're finding a niche using Dingo to service multiple clients, while keeping them all separate.

Notes
Joomfish integration
This problem is related to the integration of joomfish and dingo, and probably due to joomfish project decisions.
This problem is solved using MYSQLi. Enable mysqli extension on php ini file. Reset apache. Change joomla database configuration to from mysq to mysqli … And all is solved. I believe the developers decided for the use of mysqli_connect instead of mysql_connect etc, that generated the error messages |
