Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Project manager 2.50 beta 1 released

When I choose Install under acs-admin/install, Project Manager is not on the list of applications I can choose to install.  Likewise, if I choose Upgrade under acs-admin/install, Project Manager is not on the listed packages.  So, I cannot proceed to upgrade it.  How can I get it to appear on the list?

Al,

I think you have to check it out of cvs. I used this...

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mailto:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot cp -r openacs-5-1-compat openacs-4/contrib/packages/project-manager

Jade,

I'm adding project-manager to dotlrn and it is asking for some funtions in package acs-tcl that are not present in the dotlrn  core. Should I modify the PM source or add the functions to acs-tcl?

Thanks.

openacs-4 is correct (see https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-5-1/cvs-guidelines.html)

Project manager is supposed to show up for installation, so if it's not, then it's probably a bug in the remote repository.

Are you on OpenACS 5.1.x? If not, it might not show up.

Nagita, I just saw that I hadn't answered your questions about integrating it into dotlrn.

Which functions in acs-tcl are not present? What version of dotlrn / openacs are you on?

Hi Jade,

I'm running dotlrn-2.0.3
It has acs-tcl version 5.0.4

Function 'ad_returnredirect' in utilities-procs.tcl of the acs-tcl package has a '-message' parameter in openacs-5.1.1 while this is missing in the dotlrn core packages.

No big deal really. I don't suppose it is possible to upgrade just the acs-tcl package in this version of dotlrn. Core packages are backward compatible right?

Thanks.

And I just see that there is a new version of dotlrn (.LRN 2.1 Beta 1 2.1.0b1) that seems to have solved this. Will test later.
