I have spun up a vikunja docker container to test and play with before deciding if we want to fully adopt it. Seems solid so far. Has most of the features we need.
Issue:
Having a little issue working out why team members cannot see projects. I have added a user to a team, and have given that team read/write permission to a project. The user can see tasks within that project if they are assigned, but they cannot see the project itself on the Projects page.
Is this the intended behaviour? I would have assumed that adding a team to a project would make that project visible to team members. I want team members to have visibility of all tasks on a given project, even if they are not currently involved in that task. We are a small team so projects as a whole are very collaborative rather than compartmentalized.
Thanks.
If you share a project it should be visible for the other user. Is the project you shared a sub project? Does it work if the other user reloads the page?
I just tested again with a different user and it did seem to work as expected.
The original user still couldn’t see it until a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R). Perhaps some page caching issue?
Thanks for the response.
Glad it works!
It won’t automatically update the list of projects, you’ll need to refresh the page.
I understand that - the page was left and revisited many times. A normal F5 refresh or reloading the browser was not enough. A hard refresh which bypasses caching seemed to be required.
Are you able to reproduce this on try? (you can register a new account)
I am having the exact problem. I am on vikunja cloud (trial for now but was planning on signing up my team). I created an organization, added a member, created teams, created project(s) and shared them with different teams, and the projects do not show up on the team member’s homepage. Regular refresh (f5) of the page does not work, only ctrl+shift+r as mentioned above. I had the same issue with ‘(not) seeing projects that team members created’.
Users of the site should not have to worry about ‘manually forcing bypass of the browser’s cached pages to reveal the up-to-date state content of the app’.
@deviant with “the homepage”, do you mean the dashboard and the “Last viewed” section? Or do you mean the sidebar menu?
@kolaente The list of projects does not show up anywhere on the site’s ui. Not in the list of projects, or when you click “Projects” from the menu shown on the left side of the screen. At least not until ctrl+shift+r.
There have been a few fixes around browser caching that should fix that, can you check again?
