Hi,
I was trying to use the project module with taxonomy terms, so I created a term called "Deliverables" for the "Projects" category. But when I click on "Projects" link on the navigational menu, it doesn't list content that I've associated with the Deliverables term (please see Figure 1 in the attached document).
So I deleted the term(s) and was able to list the content (see Figure 2). Is this the expected behaviour or is this a bug? I created the content before setting the taxonomy terms - could this be the problem? (I should say that I created a new content after creating the term and was still unable to list the content.) I'd like to be able to categorize the content and list the categorized content on Projects page (just like when taxonomy is not used - figure 2).
Thanks.

hunmonk commentedcritical bugs are bugs that render the module unusable. please categorize appropriately next time.
the code is functioning perfectly. you are trying to display your project type with a category listing, and you have no categories defined for that project type. visit the project settings page and set the sorting option correctly for your project type under the 'Enabled sorting options' section.

dantina commentedHi,
My apologies for the wrong categorisation. However, I am not quite sure what you mean. I did define a category (Deliverable) for projects and on the project content page, I enabled the content for the category. There is also no sorting option on the project settings page, assuming you mean the page shown in the screenshot attached.
I am also having other problems with these suite of module (please see this post: http://drupal.org/node/170135). I'll admit that I am not an expert at using Drupal (only been using it for about 3 months), but I must say I am having a harder time working with these versions of projects module. It is a shame because it'll be brilliant if I could get it to work - it is just exactly what I needed for my site :)
Is there a guide for using this module anywhere?
Thanks for your help in advance.

aclight commentedYou're looking at the right page but I suspect you don't have your taxonomy terms and vocabularies set up correctly, and that's why you aren't seeing any sort options on the project admin page.
Here's how I have mine set up:
Project type
--Module
----Analysis
----Graphics
----Data IO
API Version
--5.0
--6.0
--7.0
The project type vocabulary (under edit vocabulary) has only the project node type checked. Hierarchy is single, and it is required. The API version vocabulary settings show project release as the only node type and hierarchy is single and term is required.
I think the project module creates these vocabularies for you when you first install it (though I've probably changed the names from what they were by default).

hunmonk commentedoutside of the documentation that comes with the module, and any forum posts you might find, it's doubtful. project module is sorely undersupported, so if you want to see it get better, you need to help out! take charge and write some documentation as you go, and we can find a sensible place to put it to save others from struggling.
wrong page. go to Administer -> Project settings. under 'Enabled sorting options', you should see your category listed. set appropriately.

dantina commentedThank you both so much. I've been able to get it to work using your instructions. Now if I could just sort out access control problem described here: http://drupal.org/node/170135, I'll be very relieved and extremely grateful!
I need users of certain roles to be able to create own issues for projects set up (not necessarily by them) etc. - how can I do this. I've attached the screenshot of my access control page showing the project / og / project issue access settings (I need the roles shown in the last 2 column on the page to be able to view and add issues to projects set up primarily by the users belonging to the role of the 3rd column).
Thank you.

dantina commentedI found I couldn't see the issue unless I list 'all' so I am changing the status from 'by design' to 'active'.
Comment #7
dantina commentedI am getting new error messages when I try to edit some content to assign them to taxonomy terms. I've got my terms set up as follows:
Project type
-- Activities
----Deliverables
When I submit it the first time - it is fine, but if I go back in to edit the content I get the error below when I submit:

hunmonk commentedplease don't mix issues. if you're having another issue, then open a new issue... :)
try to think of the issue queue as a library that others can reference. if you keep changing the title and putting multiple issues into one long thread, it becomes a much less useful resource. i want a useful resource, because i don't want to be answering the same questions twice. :)

dantina commentedSorry hunmonk. Please ignore the latest entry. I was trying to reassign it but I obviously don't know how to use this system yet :) If I understand your 'telling off' correctly, I need to open up a new issue under taxonomy - I'll do this now.

hunmonk commentedplease stop using the issue title to insert messages -- it is for the express purpose of summarizing the nature of the issue.
