Add a bug tracker tab to the RM

[Alpha1]

It would be very beneficial to have a bug tracker tab in the resource manager. This would make it easy to check if a resource has many open bugs or not.
It would also make it easy for developers to keep track of what issues need to be addressed for upcoming releases.

Anyone has anything they want to add to this as far as features go? I want to finish this addon up this week. Well, at least I hope too.

Thanks for helping with ideas. Anyone else want to add to this? I was able to get a few more things done with this.

Switching this with a tagging system would be better in my opinion. If you look at githubs issues page, your able to create your own labels. This would mean the creator could give it a title, and a description. Then the owner of the resource would be able to tag it how they want using custom tags of their own making.

Earlier in this thread it was mentioned about a suggestions tab and a bug tracker tab, thats why i'm suggesting this. ^

bug tracker tab

I added a bug tracker tab for it. I think I was adding prefixes and tags. Have to look at my notes.

So your enhancements would appear under a Tab like this:



Permissions would be important.
Alerts would be important.

I missed the post with the mockup.

Alot of my ideas were already there ! Here's the mockup I made myself



The commenting I think it quite a good idea and you had that one already.

I do think image uploads of bugs (attachments) are quite important. Words are vague, pictures are clear.

I'm not sure if this bug tab is supposed to help the resource poster or the customers ! The permissions and designs would change accordingly.

The comment "look" I stole from the Profile posts.

Comments are probably more useful than Likes.

What about adding text (as opposed to just a title) ?

Maybe ask for a 140 character summary (maybe most bugs only need that) and then a second section with details.
And the summary appears on the "Bug Home Page".

For people looking to see if a bug applies to them, it would be nice to go on more than just a title.

If you are interested in other Resource Manager enhancements:

As opposed to an associated thread (RM has this), have an associated forum !
If Resources are important / complex, you can't accomplish everything with just one thread.


Other ideas:
Bug Reports should show up in the associated thread ? Exactly like new versions have a thread post (Or give the Bug poster the option [Should this bug report appear in the discussion thread (Y/N)]?

Good info and ideas @Digital Doctor . Should be interesting to see where it goes. I am thinking about a bug addon on its own. For the non-RM forums.
