- PHP 5.3
- MySQL 4.1
- GD2 + FreeType (for some CAPTCHA support)
Trellis Desk 2.0 is in an early development stage. We strongly recommend against using Trellis Desk 2.0 in a production environment. To install, simply upload all files to your web server, point your browser to the install directory, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Trellis Desk has traditionally been developed in our spare time, which makes it rather difficult to release new versions on a reliable schedule. Our customers have been clamoring for more frequent updates or the ability to merge their own fixes and additions into the codebase. We are open-sourcing this product because we want to see it continue to grow and thrive with the help of the community, rather than be hampered by limited resources.
Let's get the ACP (backend) as closed to finished as possible before working on the frontend. We're almost there!
The frontend needs a good amount of work. It's using a lot of old code from Trellis Desk 1.0. Let's not worry about looks right now. Focus on functionality. We'll skin it up all nice and pretty later.

In all honesty, many will find the Trellis Desk 2.0 code unorganized. Many of the code originates from over two years ago before I (DJ Tarazona) had a deep understanding of Object-Oriented Programming. Each time I contribute to Trellis Desk, I have a desire to reorganize the code into an MVC architecture. At this time, I feel that task may be better suited for (dare I say?) Trellis Desk 3. However if anyone wants to take a whack at it -- be my guest!
