Suggestions & Issues

  • Hello, tried out your plugin and it works ok, but I have found a few quirks/bugs and have a few suggestions.

    1. [suggestion] I think there needs to be a system so that you can create multiple org charts, or at least so that you don’t have to reset the entire chart whenever you set a new Top Level or add a new user. You lose all of your work whenever you need to make this type of change.

    2. [bug] The dropdown to add new users doesn’t appear to show any new users in it to add.

    3. [suggestion] There needs to be a visualization when you are dragging and dropping of how your edit will change the chart, like some kind of faint overlay that shows the change, or just on-the-fly changes as you are dragging it. Sometimes it isn’t really obvious how the chart is going to change when you let go or if it will change at all.

    4. [suggestion] An option to use an existing profile field for the job title section would be useful. A lot of people already have custom user fields in place once they are setting up an organizational chart.

    5. [suggestion] Option to use an existing profile field for the photo. I have Buddypress on my site, so all of the users have already uploaded their profile picture through Buddypress.

    6. [bug] If you remove a user from the chart by clicking the X, you can’t add them back in again, and all users underneath that user are removed as well, and then you need to reset and start over again.

    7. [bug] In the CSS .jOrgChart table {} needs “border-collapse: separate;” set on it so as not to conflict with themes that have set the border-collapse on their tables to “collapse”. Otherwise the vertical border lines don’t show up.

    I think that is it.

    Thanks for the great plugin and I hope you continue to support it.

    First of all I am very grateful that you spared time and shared your views.

    Now lets discuss.

    1. Adding multiple chart is in the list and just one thing before it, and that is Responsive design. I am working on it these days and releasing as soon as I am anywhere near a decent view on mobile devices.
    Secondly, for changing Top level user chart resets, yes, but not when adding new user. New users are listed at the bottom and can be added right from there.

    2. It will new users in case when u have chart already build and then you add another team member.

    3. I will look into this, but its not near top priorities.

    4. It needs small piece of code to do that but I will see if some kind of template system can be added into it. Share you thoughts in this direction if you like.

    5. Just image? Its not hard to pull image from buddypress. Complete Buddypress support? Not in the list yet.

    6. Yes, its a very recent update. Removing existing users will add them in list below (Not yet implement. Soon.) Now removing users will delete users underneath, thats something obvious. Underneath user should be shifted to upper node or where needed before deleting. I think I should add a confirmation message onclick.

    7. Thanks. I’ll update that.

    I am actively developing this plugin and lots to come in coming weeks.

    Thanks again!

    I was online trying to find a solution for #4. I am using Ultimate member plugin and I had created a custom field in the profile form for the title that users can update on the front-end. I do wish there was a way to feed that field into the org chart field.

    Hello @ctuscan,

    Are you comfortable doing small tweaks in code?

    There is function in ‘index.php’ with name ‘printTree’. There you can find variables that are being pulled for user profile.

    Let me know if that helps.
