Lighthouse update: Tagging, APIs, Spam Protection
If you’ve been keeping up on our tweets, you’ll notice that we pushed out a new update today. It’s been far too long since the last non-trivial update to Lighthouse. So, what’d we change?
- Justin implemented a slick tag list to help enter commonly-used tags for Tickets.
- Tags with multiple words should display correctly.
- Filtering by tags has been improved so that you can mix and match multiple tagged and not-tagged keyword. However, to support tags with multiple words, each keyword was changed to allow only one tag at a time. Example: tagged:ruby tagged:web not-tagged:rails
- We’re now trying out the new Defensio service for catching spam. They’re still in private beta, so I’m running it parallel with Akismet to compare the results.
- API Token creation was moved to the profile page. Now everyone can manage their own tokens, not just account members.
- Tickets return their tags in the API. You can check it out yourself, or wait for the docs to be updated.
- API support for Messages, Milestones, and Ticket Bins have been added as well.
Thanks for the support, everyone. We’ve been getting some nice comments and great feedback.

Beautifully simple issue tracking. With a beautiful Mac-like interface, email and subversion integration, Lighthouse is the perfect project management tool. We took the suck out of issue tracking.

There’s still something strange happening with the API tokens.
The ones generated by members are returning errors “error you must be a member of this account” and when we go to edit them the API tokens show up as belonging to the account owner and not the member who created it.
Defensio huh? Akismet isn’t catching squat for Pixelpost users anymore. Im up to well over 100 spam comments each week now, before it was 5 or 10 which is no big deal but it’s starting to be a pain. Remind me to bug you about how it’s working out.
“Tags with multiple words should display correctly.”
Thanks guys!
I’ve updated the Lighthouse API to match: http://forum.activereload.net/forums/6/topics/195
Gareth: I’m looking into that issue.
