TeamPlain - Revisit

Published on
1 minute read

I ran into some problems that I blogged on in my TeamPlain - Install and initial views   post. I have got a work around for the long project name problem, but it only works when you really daft project names like ours:

“XXEMEA-UK-Area-Dept-BusinessUnit-[Project Name]”

What I have done is rewrite this drop down list after it has been rendered using JavaScript!

Eww, I hear you say. Well as team server does not support compartmentalization of projects out of the box the long project names must stay.

Here is the code:

Put it after the drop down list by the id of “cmbProjects” and change the remove function calls for whatever you need.

I know it is ugly, but it is the sort of “Tactical” work around that gets the short term problem sorted.

I permanent solution would be nested projects (Or and Organizational Unit separator for the project name) from Microsoft, but I don’t think it is on the cards in the near future!
