I've tried both Project 4.7 and Project cvs. I could create several projects in a project tree of 3 levels. However, when trying to create a new issue, there is nothing to select from the dropdown menu for selecting a project. If I push "Next", then it say "You have to specify a valid project".

I've been using Project 4.6, but now I have deleted all the old issues that I created with Project 4.6.

project (both cvs and 4.7) works fine on a local test site and on drupal.org (as evidenced by your ability to submit this issue *grin*). so, this isn't a critical bug in project, but a support request for getting your local copy working. ;)

off the top of my head, a few things to try:

1) did you correctly setup a taxonomy for your projects? until i get someone else to review and test http://drupal.org/node/60627, the 4.7 and cvs versions or project require a taxonomy. weird things happen if this taxonomy isn't populated and used correctly. i'm not sure what "a project tree of 3 levels" means, but i'm guessing you're trying to use the taxonomy somehow.

2) check admin/access to make sure the users in question have the right permissions to access projects, create issues, etc.

that's all i can think of for now. if you want more help, please be more specific about what you did to setup your test site. thanks.

This is what I have tried as the root (#1) user.

1. Add vocabularies to Category Projects of the taxonomy as follows:

-server
--cms

2. Submit a new project Test under -server-cms which is created in step 1. I have entered "Full project name", "Full description", "Short project name" and "Project email" and have checked "Enable issue tracker. I set 4 components: "Code", ... . I was able to create the Test project.

3. Submit a new issue. But now there is nothing in the dropdown list under "Project".

What can I do now?

Thank you.

Hi,

It worked when I created the project under "server". I was confused by the instruction.

Thank you dww!

I will describe what confused me in the folowing.

Firstly, in admin->setting->project it says

The project module makes special use of the taxonomy (category) system. A special vocabulary, "Projects", has been created automatically.

To take full advantage of project categorization, add at least two levels of terms to this vocabulary. The first level will be the basic project types, e.g., "modules", "themes", "translations".

Subterms of each of these types will be the categories that users can select to classify the projects. For example, "modules" might have sub-terms including "mail" and "XML".

Use the vocabulary admin page to view and add terms.

However, it is not an option but a must that one does create two levels of terms for projects.

Secondly, when creating a new project, if I should not select the 2nd level of project terms, why does it appear there? It should be hiden if it can not be used there.

Thanks again!

There's now documentation on this at http://drupal.org/node/116527 which I think covers this issue, so I'm marking it as fixed.
