How to submt external submission

[bsimmons]

Hi,
Just installed Fortress and I'm impressed, really impressed with it's speed. I seem to have every thing working so far except for external submissions. I am using the url of:

http://localhost/Fortress/External/AddItemExternal.aspx

to try it out but, I get an error message upon submit indication that the system can not determine which project to use "Unable to determine project" is the exact message. Am I just missing something?

Also some of the documentation seems to be missing, it seems to be localized to the "SourceCode Control" tab. this is an example of one url that it can not resolve:
http://<myserver>/VaultService/Admin/help/showfolder.htm

Thanks
Bernard

You need to supply the projectid on the end of the URL

http://localhost/Fortress/External/AddI ... px?pid=101 will submit a bug against the first project.

FailProjectPermissionDenied - The user does not have permission to perform that operation on the project. The user must be assigned permission. The operation has been cancelled.

I get the above error when I try to do an external submission.

Also, how does one determine the PID for a project.... 100 + project #?

It sure would be nice, considering most external postings is my company aren't going to be from tech people, that there be a list of projects to post against for them to select and also that the project title show up. Resolution too would be nice for them to see as well.

Make sure that ExternalSubmission is enabled for the project.
Go to http://FORTRESSSERVER/Fortress/Projects.aspx and click the modify icon for the project. That's the page to use to enable external submissions.

If you have External Submissions enabled, you'll see an External Add link in the right-hand menu when you're on a page in a project.
