Tender Lighthouse integration Pro

Posted by rick at December 8th, 2009

We are getting ready to roll out one of the most highly requested features on Tender Support, multiple Lighthouse instances per Tender site.

Multiple Lighthouses

Tonight, at 9:00 pm PST (-8 UTC), we will be implementing the first of a two phase process required to add the new feature.

The first phase, migrating the existing Lighthouse configuration data to the new system, will take about 30 minutes to complete.

The update will have a very small window of downtime, which will only affect the Lighthouse integration feature. While the data itself is being migrated, the existing Lighthouse integration options will be in read-only mode. Everything else on the Tender sites will be fully functional.

We’ve completely rewritten the Lighthouse integration from the ground up, keeping the following features in mind:

  • You can integrate a Tender site with multiple Lighthouse projects.
  • You can setup user-specific Lighthouse tokens so tickets are created in your name.
  • Existing Lighthouse tokens will be shared, making them available to everyone on in your Tender site.

Assuming the migration goes smoothly, we’ll be rolling out the second phase later this week with updates to UI, putting the new feature in play.

You can follow the Tender Support Twitter account, @tenderapp, for live updates during system maintenance.

    This is great—and it seems to be working well.

    Thanks for implementing it!

    My only further request is to be able to set certain categories of dicussion to default to specific lighthouse projects—it makes it quicker to manage.

    So is this available to open-source accounts?
