The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

The back end seems to work like a charm, but I can't get anywhere trying to access it from the front end. That being the case, I'm going to have to abandon for another project manager. I have to have something that my clients can access from the logged in status of my site.

Also, I have Sh404sef installed. It does not work with this. I have error output when trying to access projects from the front side of my site.

Too bad, it looks like it could have potential with work.

This is by far the best component I have found for managing my projects! It's simple to install, gives you everything you need to manage your projects, and has an easy to learn interface!
Thanks JoomlaPraise!

After long searching for PM software, I found ProjectFork really useful: in a single component, managing tasks, archiving files, adding comments, and so on... and everything separated by "Project", also called "Workspace". Very good!

It is the best ever I tried. Thank you for your work. Great.

Idea:
If there would be a bridge [projectfork|-|teamlog], no other need to manage your own team.

Amazing component. I have never written a review until this one. the amount of tools are great and simple to understand. and incredibly its all FREE. even paid scripts dont come close to the great stuff in ProjectFork. Great work from the developer.

WOW! This is one of the most amazing components for Joomla. The professionalism that went into this software as well as the support is absolutely amazing. Very few bugs to worry about, on time releases, prompt support in the forum. If there was a award for all around best developer, Tobias and the Joomla Praise team would get the gold.

I just wanted to thank you very much for all your hard work and time. It was very much worth it. I just discovered the ability to edit "panel positions" in Project Fork. The amount of details you guys went into developing this is completely astounding. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

A superb component, excellent help from the developer and a solution that meets every need. This is how developers should do it ! thanks Tobias and the team. Highly recommended.

Now, the final version shows all features. And it is a great extension. Very complex and has all you need: Projects, Tasks, Milestones, Notices, Commentar, Filemanager, Calender, Userprofiles, Board, Accessmanagement and more. Try it!

I would like to give 5 stars for Project Fork but for previous version available for 1.0 this new component for 1.5 is really not functioning that well. When you guys would be able to make it functional? This is excellent tool but we need it working. I been closely following and it's been over 3 months since no movement was made for 1.5 version.

The best type of software. Balance between ease of use and power. Development for 1.5 is continuing! Though it may be a while. Anything worth having is worth waiting for. Tobias the lead is a very nice guy. Give him your Support and Patience if you support this project.

The component seems really good. However it does not work with Joomla V1.5.1.

The website says "basic support for Joomla 1.5 - there are some small bugs". These are not SMALL bugs, the component has major bugs. These are a few that I found:

-Backend
1. You cannot see users imported or access them. Which renders the component useless
2. Joomla menus disapear.

-Frontend.
3. Cannot log in. Which again renders the component useless.

There are a few hacks in the forums that helped me fix problem # 1. And there are a few post that claim that they fix problem 3 on their sites. However, it did not fix it for me.

Is there any support out there??

A really nice component however with the development site dead and no support it is hard to use especially as it doesnt really work in 1.5

I was up and running in less than 1 minute after the download. Install was a breeze, and the process is very intuitive. I am using this tool to work with multiple people and there have been zero issues.

Having tested a range of project tools I finally decided on this one – something I haven't regretted.

Installation is easy and the setup and configuration is easy and intuitive too. I currently uses it for planning projects in a society and am currently testing a Danish translation that I’ve made (I‘ll send it ASAP).

One small wish, that would make the component even greater, would be the possibility for exporting projects and tasks for use in e.g. a spreadsheet. This is of course possible from the database itself, but an integrated action would be perfect.

I like the component. Works great. I have been working wtih PHProjekt and I like this one better, since it integrates with my Joomla CMS instantiation. It is an excellent extension that I can use for managing work with my fellow developers. Excellent features are the importing of Joomla users.

The only difficulty I am experiencing with it is with the date management functionality in the task manager. If I put in a specific date, it defaults to the current date when I save a new/modified task. (v.0.6.7)

This works really well. I'm using for a web design team to collaborate on projects and it works great from installation to usage. Very good component!

hands down, best extension i have needed.

Event though it's young and in beta, this tool is incredible. The backend integration is flawless and admin tool design is cleancut and very functional. There's a great blend between an iconic and text button approach.

File management is fantastic. You can add files with new tasks, after the fact or add files separately altogether, and additionally can be secured to a specific user. Groups management is simple and slightly cumbersome but functions well right out of the box.

I'd like to see a little better front-end systems integration and management or ability to customize its sizing. Additionally workflow management would be useful, requiring that task contributors, etc. require their feedback or submissions be approved by an admin or Project Manager.

Another benefit would be templated projects - allowing users to create new projects with basic or templated tasks inserted (like a drop down menu); even more helpful would be allowing a finished projects tasks to be set as a standard template.

One final thing I'd like to see: integration with a billing/management system. Professional users could use this tool as a Professional Services Proj Mgmt tool. The front-end could help keep customers updated as to their project status; and billable items could be setup with tasks, i.e. billing could occur at 30% completed, 50%, completed, 100, etc.

Otherwise, this tool is incredibly useful for anything anyone has in mind.

This seems to be the best (and only?) component currently available for Joomla! that tackles all the common categories of a project-management-system.

Whether or not it can ultimately be useful is a different question. Most of the project-management-systems out there have the same problem - accessibility and ease-of-use of non-techie members/employees.

So although the features in the project are well-crafted, it's worth considering that accessing them requires a few clicks within Joomla.

Great for collaborative project work in small groups, but there may be some issues for larger organizations. Worth trying out, definitely.
