A semi-big update today. Lighthouse Pro now has the follow enhancements/updates:
- You can now attach multiple attachments to an issue.
- You can now delete attachments. (Duh, why didn't I have this before?)
- I now store and display the original file name of the attachment. So if you upload foo.txt and ColdFusion has to rename it to vivapinataisweird.goober, then you will see foo.txt displayed on the front end.
- Email support has been updated to allow for attachments. So now your users can email you a bug report and include a screen shot for example.
- The XML used in the AJAX has been slimmed down quite a bit. I'll switch to JSON once Spry 1.5 is released, but for now it should make the application run a bit faster. A project with 300 issues was clocking in at 400K or so. Thats insane. It now comes in at 120K or so, which is still big, but less than half of what it was before.
- Plus a few other small fixes here and there.
Thanks to Scott Pinkston for doing the MS Access update. I just discovered today that I no longer have a copy of MS Office installed. I'll have to add that to my Parallels install. (Unless anyone knows of a decent OSX Access editor.)
As always - the application is free and your support is welcome.

I just wanted to comment that viva pinata IS weird, one of my favorite shows with my daughter though. the reference gave me good chuckle! for anyone who hasn't seen it, get up early on saturday and stick around for some ninja turtles.

It's the only one I know of that has drivers to allow you to access Access databases (pun not intended).

First, thanks for all your future forward work, it helps keep my ColdFusion code forever moving.
Next, I have searched to see if you have posted this anywhere but have you been able to get around to updating LightHouse JSON with Spry 1.5?
Thanks,
Colter

Your install instructions were great by the way. I am having a slight problem running the application however.
The mail server I have set in CF Admin validates fine but when I try to run Lighthouse Pro Element (my first attempt at running it) I receive the following error:
MAILSERVER is undefined in APPLICATION.
The error occurred in D:\Content\WWWRoot\lighthousepro\Application.cfc: line 273
It does not seem to matter if I leave the mail server related fields blank or filled in the defaults.cfm file
Please let me know your thoughts ... even if it means telling me I've done something stupidly wrong :-p

Sorry for any confusion ... I have no idea where the word "Element" came from in my above post! ("Lighthouse Pro Element")... I just meant Lighthouse Pro 2.4 :-)

Thanks for updating! I was wondering if you could help me with this error i'm getting:
Caught exception in JSONDataSet.loadDataIntoDataSet: SyntaxError: missing ] after element list
I'm only getting it with one Project, so I assume it's an unescaped ']' or something.
The error occurs at /project_view.cfm

I'm planning on adding an 'Excel Document' Upload/import of Issues into the Project for the Lighthouse application. So you can upload an excel document with 'Issues' in it that will prepopulate the Project. We need this as with a part of our company that have a checklist of 40 items that they do each time with each new client - and want to use this to track them. Just thought I'd let you know - once its complete I can give you the source code for it - in case you want to built it into your release (origionally might be strictly sql server compat, but I can dumb it down once I get into it likely)

Do you happen to know if anyone has installed LightHouse on BlueDragon?
