Description

As requested inside discussion https://www.chiliproject.org/boards/1/topics/2418 and by many Redmine users since years, the currently static Gantt view endorses many many problems with project managers & team leaders organozing projects.

Why Editable Gantt?

Because it's a very big pain to setup a project with many tasks and to align them (start+end dates and follows/precedes relations).

For Redmine some devs made patches already - sadly this can't be done by a plugin (as Eric already stated):
http://www.redmine.org/issues/2024

Why "High Priority"?

Because ChiliProject currently is in discussion to be used in very big projects and stands in competition to old-school tools a la MS Project and fancy commercial tools like Jira. Currently I and a colleague try to set up a running CP with the old Redmine patches - but I fear this could maybe impossible without some hints / help from more experienced devs :-(

Additional Requests / Wishes around Gantt

Just for gathering all the Gantt feature requests or discussions:

Current status:

  • Patches of Redmine integrated successfully (with CP master version)
  • Dragging issues in Gantt view works now
  • Bug with Firefox fixed (still open for Redmine)

Currently we (or honestly: a colleague of mine) are working to enable start+end date buttons to the Gantt view.

And we therefor forked ChiliProject and check in our changes to https://github.com/asinteg/chiliproject

Conversion to new jQueryUI calendar is done.

Now this patch/branch should be on par with the redmine patch.
If desirable naturally we can make it a pull request...

Next step will be integration with the better gantt plugin. (http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_better_gantt_chart)
