TaskFreak! v0.6.2 - Tweaking Priority Menu

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:14:06 -0700

Background Knowledge

For some reason or another the priority menu in the edit task panel is not wide enough and therefore it cuts off the priority names. This can be easily fixed by modifying some inline CSS. Yes I agree this should be done within the skin’s CSS file, however there is nothing present in the CSS file to alter that I could find.

Solution

Edit /taskfreak/include/html/xajax_panel_edit.php at line #18 by changing the width value of “40px” to “125px” or to what you desired width.

Code Before

<td>< ?php
$objTemp = new ItemPriority();
$objTemp->qSelect('priority',($objTask->priority)?$objTask->priority:3,'','','style="width:40px"');
?></td>

Code After

<td>< ?php
$objTemp = new ItemPriority();
$objTemp->qSelect('priority',($objTask->priority)?$objTask->priority:3,'','','style="width:125px"');
?></td>

TaskFreak! v0.6.2 - Add My Projects List

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 10:10:59 -0700

Background Knowledge

TaskFreak! presently does not have a means via the web interface to present a complete list of tasks for which the current user is the project leader. I will show you how to add “My Projects” list based on bpiper’s solution with a slight difference. My solution is almost identical to bpiper’s but with a different approach to continue support of the supported interface languages. To do this each supported language file will require to be edited.

Thanks to bpiper for posting your solution.

Solution

Edit /taskfreak/include/language/en/freak.php starting at line #15. Add in a new array key/value at any point you desire like so “‘my_projects’ => ‘My Projects’,” (without double quotes), see below for example.

Note: Each interface language file will be required to be edited if you desire to use them. If you do not do so, you will receive error messages and it may cripple TaskFreak!

Code - Before

// top menu / navigation
$GLOBALS['langMenu'] = array (
        'task'                  => 'Task',
        'print_list'            => 'Printing version',
        'new_todo'          => 'New Todo',
        'view'                 => 'View',
        'all_projects'        => 'All Projects',
        'future_tasks'       => 'Future Tasks',
        'past_tasks'         => 'Past Tasks',
        'my_tasks'           => 'My Tasks',
        'all_tasks'            => 'All Tasks',
        'all_contexts'       => 'All Contexts',
        'all_users'            => 'All Users',
        'reload'               => 'Reload',
        'manage'             => 'Manage',
        'projects'            => 'Projects',
        'users'                => 'Users',
        'preferences'       => 'My Profile',
        'settings'            => 'System Settings',
        'login'                 => 'Login',
        'logout'               => 'Logout',
        'warning'             => 'Warning',
        'warning_install'    => 'Install folder still exists, you should delete it for security purposes'
);

Code - After

// top menu / navigation
$GLOBALS['langMenu'] = array (
        'task'                  => 'Task',
        'print_list'            => 'Printing version',
        'new_todo'          => 'New Todo',
        'view'                 => 'View',
        'all_projects'        => 'All Projects',
        'future_tasks'       => 'Future Tasks',
        'past_tasks'         => 'Past Tasks',
        'my_tasks'           => 'My Tasks',
        'my_projects'       => 'My Projects',
        'all_tasks'            => 'All Tasks',
        'all_contexts'       => 'All Contexts',
        'all_users'            => 'All Users',
        'reload'               => 'Reload',
        'manage'             => 'Manage',
        'projects'            => 'Projects',
        'users'                => 'Users',
        'preferences'       => 'My Profile',
        'settings'            => 'System Settings',
        'login'                 => 'Login',
        'logout'               => 'Logout',
        'warning'             => 'Warning',
        'warning_install'    => 'Install folder still exists, you should delete it for security purposes'
);

Edit /taskfreak/include/html/header.php at line #214 add “My Projects” link as shown below.

Code Before

<div id="rightmenu">
  <a href="<?php echo Tzn::concatUrl($_SESSION['linkItems'],'sUser='.$objUser->id); ?>">< ?php echo $langMenu['my_tasks']; ?></a> |
  <a href="<?php echo Tzn::concatUrl($_SESSION['linkItems'],'sUser=all'); ?>">< ?php echo $langMenu['all_users']; ?></a> |
</div>

Code After

<div id="rightmenu">
  <a href="<?php echo Tzn::concatUrl($_SESSION['linkItems'],'sUser=myprojects'); ?>">< ?php echo $langMenu['my_projects'];?></a> |
  <a href="<?php echo Tzn::concatUrl($_SESSION['linkItems'],'sUser='.$objUser->id); ?>">< ?php echo $langMenu['my_tasks']; ?></a> |
  <a href="<?php echo Tzn::concatUrl($_SESSION['linkItems'],'sUser=all'); ?>">< ?php echo $langMenu['all_users']; ?></a> |
</div>

Edit /taskfreak/index.php at line #72 as shown below.

Code Before

if ($pUser) {
        $objItemList->addWhere('ii.memberId = \''.$pUser.'\'');
    $_SESSION['selUser'] = $pUser;
    $pDefaultUserId = $pUser;
} else {

Code After

if($_REQUEST['sUser'] == 'myprojects' && $_SESSION['selUser']){
   $objItemList->addWhere('ii.authorId='.$_SESSION['selUser']);
}
elseif ($pUser) {
        $objItemList->addWhere('ii.memberId = \''.$pUser.'\'');
    $_SESSION['selUser'] = $pUser;
    $pDefaultUserId = $pUser;
} else {

How to finish anything

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 06:21:06 -0700

I can’t finish anything and get things done! This is what people often times say when they do not know how to finish anything. There were many activities that they started well and coupled with great enthusiasm but along the process either the desire went down or something got in the way. more in How to finish anything

Cultured Code do a large behind-the-scenes look at how they designed their Things iPhone UI. Lots of detail, lots of working shown. Even if you don't agree with the choices they made, it's excellent to see somebody sharing at this level of detail.

Things is a todo task manager for OS X, and it's freaking fantastic.

Things.app syncs with the iPhone!

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 22:07:28 -0700

Awesome. Things 1.1 for the iPhone was just pushed to the Apple iTunes Store, which means… I can finally sync my Things.app with my iPhone!

I’ve been using Things for quite a while to manage my life (work and personal) and bringing this to my phone definitely makes my day.

For more information about Things, visit the following sites:

Things (iPhone)

I’ll post a review in the coming days as I get a chance to play with it. Just wanted to share the news. :-)

Signing Off, And What Does A TechCrunch Writer Actually Use?

Mon, 05 May 2008 22:07:51 -0700

This is my last post at TechCrunch as a full time writer (I may yet do the occasional guest post). It’s exactly 12 months to the day since I started writing here and the date seemed like a good time to go. I won’t bore you with a self indulgent retrospective; if you are interested in my reasons and thoughts I did a podcast with my old site The Blog Herald yesterday - listen to here.

We cover some amazing startups here at TechCrunch, and for every service we cover there’s probably a dozen we miss as well, given the hyper-inflated nature of the second great web boom. You can appreciate a service without ever actually going on to use it, but the better ones can change the way you interact with the web or run your working day. I thought as this is my last major post here that I’d share some of the services that I actually use. I started using most of them based on posts at TechCrunch, so if you like these turned out to be my practical standouts in the sea of noise.

Evernote

Evernote has completely changed the way I deal with paper (yes, old fashioned paper). Its been described as everything from a scrap collection through to a bookmarking service, but at its core its a database service with industrial strength OCR capabilities. To use, you can clip data or a link, type a note, add a photo (with support for webcams) or scan info in. Everything added can be tagged and indexed, and is searchable via the text within each document, for example a wine label with no other information becomes searchable by every word on the label itself. I scan every paper bill or letter I receive, allowing me to shred/ dispose of them cutting down on the need to file things manually. More importantly it cuts out the need to have to go through my filing cabinet searching for the bill later. The service has a desktop client and web interface, so you have the security of knowing that your scanned documents always have a local copy, but if you’re at another computer or on the go, you can easily access the same data.

See Erick’s review here.
