Break the Category/component issue.

[jbarchibald]

Hi,

I loved your stuff, and with the release of 1.6 I have convinced my management to use Testlink as apposed to spending thousands for TestDirector by Mercury..

One thing we did not like was the component\\category thing,,
so, I re-wrote the tree and such in 1.04 to be completely open.

we used the term \'Folder\', since you could create as many leveles of \'Folders\' you want. makes moving stuff from one folder to another a breeze as well.

Not sure how far along you are on this for 1.7..
Pretty simply it uses recursion to build the tree looking for children, etc..

the tree seems to work OK.. there are still numerous issues with reporting that I never got to..

I have to jet to a meeting.. I\'ll do a dump and prepare a zip of my files.
I\'ll post a reply later today.. with the attachment.

FYI: working on a couple enhancements myself to 1.6.. Time calculation for all executed tests, and ability to drop you to the last product you selected the next time you login..

I\'m no PHP expert,, but definitly better than average.. I would like to help where I can..

here is my inital code that I did for the recursive tree.. basically the ability to add as many or as few folders as you want to the tree..

I\'m pretty limited on the attachement size here.. so If you would like, I can email one of the developers my entire source.. just let me know.

I know you do not support 1.0.4 anymore.. but in your dev efforts for 1.7 maybe I can be of use since I have already got this working nearly to a RC Candidate..

This is probably mandatory issue for 1.7.
I would like if you join us at least as reviewer or tester of the implementation.
Please, send me a mail if you would like to cooperate with us.

I will analise the code, to see how to use it for the next release

Hi Jason,

If possible could you share the source code for supporting the recursive tree in testlink.
It might take some time for testlink 1.7 to be released.
