(Sorry, I couldn't resist the title. It will make sense in a moment.) Today I've released Lighthouse Pro 2.0.2. This release is heavy on the email changes, so lets just dig into the updates:
- I've had multiple requests from people who didn't like the "Subscribe" feature. To be more clear, they didn't like the all or nothing aspect of it. Now emails act differently. You can still subscribe to a project and get email everytime an issue is created or updated. However - now you will automatically get an email as the creator, owner, or old owner of a bug. I send an email to the old owner since the idea is that you probably want to be warned if you are taken off an issue.
- To support creators, there is now a creator field for issues. (Get it! "Creationism" I made a funny - really.)
- The emails sent out now include the issue name in the subject. If the issue name is too long, it gets truncated. This will make the emails a bit more descriptive.
- Emails now include a direct link to the issue.
As always, you can download the code from the project page.

why do you always release a big major update the day after i download one of your applications? :)
seriously, i just picked up LHP yesterday...gonna give it another shot.
On a side, but somewhat related note - What do you think about adding the ability to subscribe (via email) to certain topics within blogCFC? I'm interested in using it as an internal communications vehicle but unfortunately the intended audience will not have access to an RSS reader. Just a thought - anyone have any other ideas?
So wait, does this mean that LHP isnt the product of Intelligent Design??
Heh, certainly NOT. ;)
todd - I can see that. THe back end would be simple. What would be a bit hard is figuring out the front end for it - ie, what the UI would be.
I just set it up at my office yesterday and we have about 10 tickets in it. Is it possible to migrate or is do I have to kind of start from scratch again?
Add the creatoridfk field to issues. Make it the same type as useridfk. Then just copy over all files. Hit LHP with ?reinit=1 and you are good to go.
Thanks Ray. Once again... you rule! :)
maybe a little envelope next to the Archive Topic (right next to the [RSS])?
i guess that idea won't work in all cases - duh
(i always have the user's email address in a session var so it _would_ work for my needs)
perhaps clicking the envelope would bring up a popup where they could enter their email address?
Maybe. I'll think on it. I'm actually holding off on BlogCFC updates in preparation for a major update. More news on that later.
Actually... reviewing your software (my turn for a funny) it is obvious that it is evolving without a designer! So when are you going to take your name off the written by?
Actually all my code and blog entries are written by the Master Control Program. ;) (Let's see if anyone gets the movie ref. ;)
Sure... one of my all time favorites. It's one of the first movies I remember Jeff Bridges acting in. He is a good actor for sure. (Oh... isn't it about time for a rewrite? When will the MCP rise again? Perhaps he is also "Lost")
You know, when they showed the big guy in the Matrix 2, I was -really- hoping for something like the MCP. The MCP is bad ass. The Architect? Looks like a priest.
