Feature Request: Easier customization administration - FogBugz Knowledge Exchange most recent 30 from http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com 2013-05-23T21:37:26Z http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/feeds/question/10126 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/10126/feature-request-easier-customization-administration Feature Request: Easier customization administration Michel de Ruiter 2012-03-15T16:38:03Z 2013-05-03T14:22:00Z <p>I am a big fan of the BugMonkey plugin. Especially BugMonkey 2.0 was a huge step: customizations can be edited individually and even enabled on a per user basis. Great!</p> <p>However, things are getting a bit out of hand. In our installation I currently own 83 customizations. Some of my own, some from this support site, some a mixture of both.</p> <p>I try to give them descriptive names. But every time I want to change or check something, I have to think hard which customization I need to open. So:</p> <ul> <li>I would love to be able to <em>search</em> for some text or css class or whatever</li> </ul> <p>Every now and then I break something. No big deal except... it's impossible to find out what part of which customization I changed. Sure, I could save every customization as a file and check it into our source control system <del>(Visual SourceSafe, don't ask!)</del>, but that's not available everywhere. Plus it's very easy to forget. So:</p> <ul> <li>why not add <em>history</em> to customizations?</li> </ul> <p>In summary, I would like customizations to be like <strong>Wiki pages</strong>!</p> <p>Edit: at least show the last <em>modification date</em> please.</p> http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/10126/feature-request-easier-customization-administration/10139#10139 Answer by db for Feature Request: Easier customization administration db 2012-03-19T15:27:39Z 2012-03-19T15:32:42Z <p>I love <a href="http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/5520" rel="nofollow">BugMonkey</a> too! It's great for helping customers tweak their FogBugz installations (and great for scratching personal itches too).</p> <p>But, writing lots of BugMonkey scripts make a few things painfully obvious:</p> <ol> <li>BugMonkey's current editor isn't nearly as good as [insert your favorite editor here].</li> <li>Version control for your BugMonkey scripts would be great to have.</li> </ol> <p>So, to help work around these limitations, I wrote up a few tips/tricks I use to <a href="http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/10140/how-can-i-make-working-on-maintaining-bugmonkey-customizations-easier" rel="nofollow">make editing and maintaining multiple BugMonkey customizations easier</a>.</p>
