Introduction[edit | edit source]

PHProjekt is a web-based groupware and project management suite available at no charge under the GNU General Public License at www.phprojekt.com.

Keeping up with development[edit | edit source]

At present, PHProjekt has reached version 4.2.3, while the manual is at version 4.1. PHProjekt is distributed with a number of help files, but these are also out of date. You can file bug reports/wishes to the Bugtracker on the home page, or try your luck in the Forum. This WikiBook is a user manual for PHProjekt, written by the end-users themselves. It is our hope to keep up with development by using this wiki.

Feel free to contribute[edit | edit source]

User interface[edit | edit source]

Login[edit | edit source]

Enter the address of your PHProjekt web server into your browser. This may be something like yourprojectserver.com/index.php or your domain.com/phprojekt/index.php. If you do not know the address, you need to contact the administrator who setup PHProjekt on your system.

If the web server requires you to accept a security certificate - do that.

You should see

  • a logo
  • a login field: Enter the user name given to you by your PHProjekt administrator.
  • a password field: Enter the password you have been provided with.

Summary[edit | edit source]

The summary table has the following rows and columns:

  • The text "Summary", followed by a red button for signing in on the timecard, followed by a search field.
  • Today's Events, followed by New Notes
  • Current projects, followed by Current todos
  • New forum postings, followed by Help Desk Requests
  • New polls
  • New files

Calendar[edit | edit source]

  • "Calendar Views" - a link to a help file explaining how to use the calendar.
  • The week day, date, your full name and the full name of the active group you are in is displayed.
  • Self - show your calendar
  • Group - show the calendars of group members
  • ...write - don't know what this does yet
  • Resource list
  • Events list
  • < - show the month before
  • Select month
  • Select year
  • Enter button
  • > - show the month after
  • Label names for calendar columns: We - Week, Mo - Monday, Tu - Tuesday, We - Wednesday, Th - Thursday, Fr - Friday, Sa - Saturday, Su - Sunday
  • Week number column - click on week to show entire week.
  • Day columns - click on a day to display
  • Create event - select start and end time by clicking in the day view, add some text, hit Create.

Extended view - One of the more interesting features of PHProjekt is that it lets you input an all-day event which can be one-time or perpetual. Such an event doesn't block the time blocks of the daily schedule, but shows up as a textline above the daily schedule table. It's useful for things like holidays.

5. Enter the available hours and minutes in the fields for the correct project, add a comment if you want, then hit the white enter button on screen.

IMPORTANT NOTE - A BUG: at present (4.2) the button next to the comment field does not work.

SECONDARY NOTE: On the project page, you can get statistics about yourself and others in relation to time spent on one or more projects.

Helpdesk[edit | edit source]

  The Helpdesk module, formerly called RTS, is a means to submit trouble tickets from outside clients. It's somewhat unique in that in can allow remote access without going through a formal login process.

Mail[edit | edit source]

Todo[edit | edit source]

Other[edit | edit source]

![edit | edit source]

  The exclamation point is an icon to take each user to a setup screen for their personal preferences.

?[edit | edit source]

This is the link to the help files for PHProjekt.

©[edit | edit source]

This is a link to copyright information.

>>[edit | edit source]

  The double greater-than sign is a means to logout of PHProjekt and the underlying database such as MySQL. In general, the logout mechanism is put in place to cut a "persistent" connection to the database before it bounces a user for inactivity. 
  When you log-out, it takes you back to the login interface.

Tips&Tricks[edit | edit source]

Giving credit where credit is due is a good thing. However, I've long ago figured out how to disable this to pick up more screen real estate on the menu. Here's the trick:

Open /layout/o.php

remark out the lines for copyright thus:

// ... and the copyright messages ... //if (ereg($langua,"cz|de|es|fi|fr|nl|ro|si|tr|zh")) { $mod_arr[] = array("copyright","href='$doc/copy.html' target='_blank'>","©"); } //else { $mod_arr[] = array("copyright","href='../help/en/copy.html' target='_blank'>","©"); }
