Plugins

STR:

  1. Open Application with that plugin installed
  2. Open a Task
  3. Type a short comment
  4. Click [Save] comment
    » Expected: Comment saved
    Actual: View changes, but Comment has not become saved.

Additional Info

a) Assign function of that Plugin does work
b) not a bad interaction with another plugin, I tested with only KanboardCommentActions installed.
c) Not related to that particular KANBOARD version, also reproducible with Version 1.2.48

My Configuration

  • Application Version 1.2.48
    • Profile Language: German - DU
  • PHP Version 8.3.25-nmm1
  • PHP SAPI fpm-fcgi
  • HTTP Client cURL
  • Server OS Linux 6.8.0-64-generic
  • Database Driver mysql
  • Database Version 10.11.13-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.24.04.1-log
  • Browser Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:146.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/146.0

I assume that plugin was never updated to respect Kanbiar’s latest security changes.

I know – of course. But some of those old plugins still do work, and others – like this one – do not. So I think it’s appropriate to think about removing such trouble causing plugins from the Plugins List shown in the application.

And:
I think that the function of Plugin KanboardCommentActions is really useful. It helps a little to avoid a flood of notifications because for a new PoV in the task I have to

  • Add Comment
  • Add new assignee, shift Due Date, move to new Column
  • Create Subtask
  • may be additional …

So may be someone is interested and has skills to repair the problem in a fork of the archived Plugin?

This is undoubtedly why I don’t like plugins that replace any of the Kanboard templates. There was a new feature regarding comment visibility introduced in version 1.2.36, I think. There were other plugins affected, but they got fixed later. Unfortunately, I don’t remember them.
