Pie chart details when sharing all activities

Resolved a bug where the you could not view extended ranges in the pie chart when viewing shared time with all activities shared.

Select a new date with the calendar on a shared page

Selecting a new date with the calendar when viewing shared time was broken after the sharing URL change. This is fixed.

Printing from a shared time page

There were certain circumstances where trying to print from a shared time page was causing on error. No longer.

Delete activities with a pound/hash (#) in their name.

You can now do this. I'm sorry, this was very inconvenient to those that were affected.

Improvements to the activity pie chart when sharing

The pie chart is no longer available when only 1 activity is shared (a pie chart with 1 slice is not very interesting). The pie chart now shows properly for a user that's not logged in but is viewing shared time.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to our US customers. To the rest of the world, get back to work! It's a Thursday for Pete's sake.

Logout

Fixed a small problem where logging out from certain locations in BubbleTimer brought you back to the login page as expected but also complained that your password was incorrect.

Chime every 15 minutes

Added an optional (defaults to off) chime that sounds at the 15 minute interval to remind you to bubble your time. Thanks to the Adium open source chat client for the chime sound.

Fixed a bug in the time usage reporting view

The time usage reporting view (click on the daily total link that gives you a pie chart when you hover) was not working properly when selecting an extended date range. This is fixed.

Sharing for users with a period in their email address

Users with a period in their email address could not use the sharing feature. This has been resolved. As part of this resolution sharing URLs have changed from:

http://bubbletimer.com/users/your-email-address

to:

http://bubbletimer.com/share/your-email-address

I apologize for the inconvenience, but please let anyone you are sharing with know about the new URL.

Multi-tasking

Hold down the alt key on your keyboard while clicking bubbles for multiple activities at the same time to indicate you are doing more than one activity. Most people won't ever use this, but it may be handy if you read while walking on the treadmill or something similar.

Respect activity order in sharing preferences dialog

Use the same sorting of activities in the sharing preferences dialog as in the application.

Better styling of shared time

Fixed a few cosmetic glitches in the shared page.

Payment SSL

Depending upon how you accessed the payment screen, SSL was not enabled. This is resolved. Thanks to Joe for pointing this out. Remember to always check for the lock icon in your browser at any page on the Internet where you are going to enter your credit card.

Email receipt

BubbleTimer now emails a receipt upon payment.

Fixed a small error on sharing pages

BubbleTimer was trying to update the clock that is normally there when looking at today but is not there if you are looking at shared time.

Time zone fix, fix

Fixed a serious problem in yesterday's time zone fix that caused periodic outages between 1PM and 4PM EST.

Data export

When exporting to a spreadsheet, hours are now in decimal, not natural language.

Time zone fix

BubbleTimer now brings users in time zones that put them in a different day than EST to the right day when you login, navigate to "My Time" and "Go To Today". Sorry Aussies and Kiwis!

Typo

Fixed a typo in the tour. Thanks Manu!

Fixed some problems doing things before you bubbled any time

If you attempted to do some activities such as print, rearrange activities or drill into the charting on a day where no time had been marked the system would encounter an error.

Fixed some problems in the per activity line grap

In some situations the goal would dip back to 0 for a day in the past even though the goal hadn't changed. For some users today's bubbled time would not appear on the graph.

Fixed more bugs in sharing

Going to the share URL after enabling activity sharing caused an error in some cases. The pie chart of activities showed all activities, not just the shared activities. The person viewing the share could rearrange the activities. These are all resolved.
