Biff Project Manager Launched

November 19, 2008 · Filed Under Personal, Programming, Software, TWS Software, This Site · Comment 

Another project of mine has been launched - Biff Project Manager. Biff Project Manager is a project management system that I am building to replace my by-hand method of project management. The first SVN commit has been made and you can check out a fresh copy from Google Code.

What does it do?

Right now not a whole lot. You can add projects and tasks to those projects. Thanks to the beauty of jQuery and AJAX you can edit the tasks right there in the table without having to go to any special pages so updating your tasks is as simple as using a spreadsheet. It is great for simply noting down what you need to do but in the coming weeks it will be expanded to do much more. Time spent on each task is recorded as well as who completed the task.

Installation

Installation is fairly easy. Check out a copy from SVN and put it up on your web host. You will need to edit the ‘public/.htaccess’ file’s rewrite rule to the path that you unpacked it to. Once that is done run the SQL setup script in ‘data/db/base.sql’ to set up a basic database. That’s all there is!

BiffCMS Updated

It’s been almost a year but I have updated the code on Google Code to reflect the newest version of BiffCMS. What’s been changed?

  • Old PHP4 code has been replaced with PHP5
  • Custom API has been dropped in favor of the Zend Framework
  • Actually works (for the most part)!

You can check out installation instructions here. Work will be progressing on it quickly so if anyone has any feedback I’d love to know.
