A custom view build with Obsidian-Dataview to display tasks from Obsidian-Tasks and from your daily notes in a highly customisable timeline

obsidian-tasks-timeline's Issues

Add cancelled tasks

As from you previous project, you can track cancelled task. Can we add to the timeline?

Recurring tasks not displaying

I have a 'every weekday' task which is not being displayed in the today (today being a weekday) area.

In your README.md the top image shows recurring/repeating tasks showing correctly.

Improvement suggestion: do not repeat file name in the timeline

Hello,
For the overdue tasks I would recommend not to repeat the file name as separated (please see screenshot). This would reduce the list length and could improve the readability.

Cheers

"Undefined"

I love what this offers so far but I have some questions (hopefully this is the right place for them).

Why do all of my tasks say "undefined" in this way? I'm not sure what it's referring to.

Link to Edit in Tasks Plugin

The only thing I particularly miss is being able to edit Tasks in Tasks plugin from your script. I still have some code blocks from Tasks plugin below yours in order to speed things up (also for completing tasks).

I have no idea how difficult is this to implement, but just in case, for your consideration in case you find it useful for enough people.

Thank you so much for this brilliant code.

Task as first heading rather than note filename

Firstly, fantastic job .. this has been a game changer for me. Is it possible to show the task heading as the main heading rather than the note filename.

Display of links

For tasks that have embedded URL links, the timeline just shows the URL instead of the description. eg. Timeline displays this:

when it should display this:

Unable to Select Daily Note Folder

I'm having trouble selecting my daily note folder in Dataview, which follows the following structure: YYYY/MM-MMMM/YYYY-MM-DD.

For example, the daily note for February 24, 2023, would be in "700 Journal/2023/02-February/".

Currently, I'm using the following code to select the correct daily note folder:

await
dv.view("taskido", {
    pages: "", 
    select: "", 
    inbox: "", 
    dailyNoteFolder: "700 Journal/" + moment().format("YYYY/MM-MMMM"), 
    forward: true,
    options: ""
})

However, this requires code injection into the Dataview script, and I wanted to know if there is a way to achieve the same result without modifying the script.

I appreciate your help.

Missing tasks not in daily notes

Hello. Tasks that I have in notes not in my daily notes folder don't appear, even without any options or anything set. However, they do seem to appear when I add a due date to them. Is this by design? How can I make all unplanned tasks appear?

Strange results with the option noFile

With the css and js files from #6, I get the following results with the options overdueTasksToday: true, starred: false, options: "noFile noAdd". I got similar results even when removing noFile from the option.

Specific folder to capture unplanned tasks

Hi,
I am using the default (demo) file, however, my unplanned tasks are not counted (or shown). Is there something specific to be considered?

Bonus question: How could I show the ongoing tasks, e.g. "process" tasks as shown in some of the screenshots in the description?

Cheers

Counter boxes on top of timeline

Is there a way to display the Today view with the To Do, Overdue, and Unplanned boxes and quick entry at the top of the display and then the tasks all underneath? In my case, I have quite a few undated tasks that clutter up the display before I get to the today view which I think is the most valuable aspect.

Appreciate your efforts and time.

how to toggle the task status in the timeline panel?

hello，does it support setting the task status to complete in the timeline panel ?

Add task under header in file [or create it first]

If the task is added via quick entry in your data-view add option to:

• add custom heading before the task is added
• add tasks after heading

This will be extremely useful and I will not see any reason not use your quick adding of the task!

Example 1

1. I will add task [ ] Task 1 in file 2023-10-10.md via quick add in dataview
2. In the file there is no level 1 heading # Tasks
3. Add level 1 heading with name # Tasks
4. Add [ ] Task 1 under heading # Tasks

Output

 # Tasks

- [ ] Task 1

Example 2

1. I will add task [ ] Task 2 in file 2023-10-10.md via quick add in dataview
2. In the file there is ==already== level 1 heading # Tasks
3. Add [ ] Task 2 under heading [ ] Task 1

Output

 # Tasks

- [ ] Task 1
- [ ] Task 2

Support rendering highlighted text

Currently, ==highlighted text== would display as they are. It would be great if they could display as yellow text.

Support showing Dataview tasks

While Tasks Calendar can display tasks annotated with Dataview inline fields, Tasks Timeline does not seem to support this well. I am using the same query for looking for desired tasks. However, tasks like - [ ] Task [due::2023-01-06] shows up in Tasks Calendar but does not show up in Tasks Timeline.

Check box [actually check the task from dataview]

It will be amazing to also check or uncheck the tasks in the view!

the “select” and “inbox” only work when there is an empty CheckBox in that note

Overdue Dataview tasks would not display on today

For overdue Dataview tasks like - [ ] Task [due::2023-01-01], they would not display on today when overdueTasksToday: true is used.

Display block ID differently from task text

Maybe a tiny issue, but it might be less disturbing if the block link at the end of the task text could be displayed a little differently from the task text. For example, in the Obsidian editor, block links would display with a smaller font size in the upper-right corner.

How to change the time

I would like to know what the grammar rules are for modifying a specific time.

Re-implement with typescript and React.

Hi, sorry for bothering again,

Just want to share you some of my recent work. I re-implement your design with typescript and React and for now I have made it successfully rendered.

The goal is to make a modularized component or interface out of your original design, which takes task items as input and renders the view in a given container.
I believe it will be much easier to maintain with a modularized design (a lot of work still need to do to make it real modularized tho), and also it will be possible to integrate this component to other applications. Hope you like it!

Also, I am trying to make it work with obsidian-dataview (just like how it works originally). I tried to compile the ts codes into one entry script but I do not know how the inputs can be passed in, I will let you know if I work it out.

Best wishes,
zhuwenq

New field to frontmatter

As a reply to that in issue 18.

My suggestions

I think your idea is great. But there are also some my suggestions. Could you add a new field to frontmatter and include this file when it is an exact value？

For example, I usually use the board view of the projects plug-in to manage all my projects. A project corresponds to a file, and these files contain related tasks. I usually set a field called status for these files, such as “To Do”, "In Progress", "Completed", and "Shelved". When I drag an item from one board to another, the corresponding status will be updated automatically. Automatic status update is a good enjoyment, isn't it？

Since the project “in progress“ is something I need to pay extra attention to, can I just filter it in the timeline?

Screenshots about the board in projects plugin

Undesired notes would display in the timeline view

Sometimes, notes that do not satisfy the Dataview queries would display in the timeline view. For example, I have the following notes that should not display:

• Notes with no tasks at all
• Notes with tasks but without the desired tags

For example, one note that should not display is as follows. As can be seen, the icon might correspond with a note, which is not the same as the icon for tasks:

Request: color task name based on file's defined color

First of all, thank you SO much for the the tasks timeline. It's really amazing!

I just wanted to request the ability to have the task's name be colored by the file's color. That would help me to more easily visually distinguish between types of tasks!

[Feature Request] Invert sorting in listview

Hi there.
I love your script. Very very useful. I use exclusively the listview, not the calendar.

But it drives me crazy that past entries are first and current (and future ones) are bottom.
Would it be too complicated to provide an option for inverting the view? Past entries bottom, recent entries top.

Thanks

Can you provide an example repository?

Can you provide an example repository? I would like to learn from your setup because I am unable to achieve the same results as your image when following your instructions.

[Bug report] Strange block covers the `timeline.stripe`.

Hi, I like what you designed in this plugin, especially some beautiful details like the stripe (vertical line) below the checkbox icon.

But I am facing a problem with the style of the stripe, like the screen shots blow, there is a strage block showing in front and it covers the strip, which makes it looks bad.

I checked the style sheet with the developer tools and find it is caused by a .timeline::after style, but I am unable to find this style snippet in the view.css.

By the way, not sure have you read the issue I opened for a wrapper plugin (702573N/Obsidian-Tasks-Calendar#57 (comment)), please check it out if it may, looking forward to talk to you about it.

Icon not rendering.

Doesn't show the icon, it only show the check box. I tried to disable all custom css but it is still the same?

edit: Seem like there was some changes made in 1.2.0, that differ from the screenshots.

why my note appears in the timeline？

Hello, why are these contents in my timeline? What does this symbol mean? It seems that one of my previous checkboxes contains an internal link to that notes, and then they appear here.

Thank you very much for your efforts~

gantt chart

It's also called the "timeline view" and your plugin is called "tasks timeline", so, is it in the scope of the plugin to provide a gantt chart view of obsidan tasks ?

reminder plugin support

Hello，do you know the plugin “obsidian-reminder”?
It can enhance the Tasks plugin and add a reminder for each task：

thanks~

Support hiding note names

In my use case, it often happens that one note would only contain one task to show in the Timeline view. In this case, showing the note names can take too much space. Therefore, it would be great if there can be an option to hide note names where the tasks comes from.

starred option is not working

For the latest release starred option is not working. I have not found any handler of this option inside js file :(

Support for Kanban plugin date format

Thank you so much for this plugin, it is awesome!

I wonder if you could add support for the Kanban plugin date format (the default date format is @{YYYY-MM-DD} for dates).

todayFocus causing script error

When I have my query as:

await dv.view("taskido", {
pages: ""
options: "todayFocus"

})

I get this error:

the info box “To Do” is always zero

can i use the link in everts?

as shown below, without the double square brackets, these works well. Just wonder, is it possible to use a link for the date of an events?

Hide unplanned tasks by default

I'm having a little trouble finding the right combination of settings for the functionality I need, essentially I want to replicate the functionality of the 'noDailyNote' flag in the Tasks Calendar script and hide unplanned tasks by default

I figured I could do this by setting the options to prefilter todoFilter overdueFilter which didn't work. I tried counterAction from this comment but that didn't help either. (I also tried removing the forward and dailyNoteFolder options as well)

Could you point me in the right direction?

await dv.view("taskido", {pages: "", options: "noDone noYear todoFilter overdueFilter", dailyNoteFolder: "daily", forward: true})

await dv.view("taskido", {pages: "", options: "noDone noYear todoFilter overdueFilter", dailyNoteFolder: "daily", forward: true, counterAction: "focus"})

Support opening task note when hovering

With Tasks Calendar, one can hover on a task to open it in a hover editor. It would be great if this can also be supported by Tasks Timeline.

Display week/month calendar based on specific file name

Hi,
This is a great snippet I have been dreaming of. Thank you so much for creating it!
I wonder if this feature could be done: I want to add the weekly calendar view to my weekly note (my weekly note named 2023-W03), and the calendar would display the week of that note, instead of the current week. For example, right now is Week 3, so when I open Week 1 weekly note, the calendar should show Week 1 tasks calendar. But right now it always shows the current Week 3 no matter where I put the dataviewjs code.

the rule about filter task

I really like this plugin. There is just a confusion when using it and I would appreciate an answer!

Currently, only tasks in DailyNote and Inbox are recognised, tasks in other folders don't appear without a date specified.
For example, task1 that appears in the picture is under DailyNote, while task2 in Project/Note1 does not appear in unplanned.

What should I do to show task2 her

My script is set up as shown.

Thank you very much for making this plugin!

How to update easily?

Hi @702573N,
I just found Taskido and I am already loving it! I was able replace some basic Tasks queries as this custom view already contains so much information, thank you!

Since there are frequent releases in this repo, is there an easy way to update this custom view? Having a community plugin would be great! Same goes for your calendar view.

Thank you.

Support grouping tasks based on All, To do, Overdue and Unplanned

Currently, all tasks would show on the same column, and clicking one category, e.g., "To Do", would highlight all related tasks for today. It would be great if the tasks can be categorized as something like All, To Do, Overdue and Unplanned:

• For the group "All", it would list all tasks, including "To Do", "Overdue" and "Unplanned". Since "Overdue" tasks would be red by default, one can still distinguish different groups of tasks.
• For the group "To Do", it would not include "Overdue" or "Unplanned" tasks. It is similar for the groups "Overdue" and "Unplanned".
• One can set in options which group to focus on by default.

By grouping tasks like this, one can better see tasks in each group, instead of, for example, scrolling to the bottom of "Overdue" to see "To Do" tasks.

how to use taskOrder？

hello，please tell me how to use the taskOrder field to order the tasks？I try to use it as follows，but it doesn't work：

Can the brackets of internal links be hidden like the calendar view？

Sorry to bother you again, I remember that the brackets of links can be hidden in the previous version, but not in the latest version?

Check tasks without open note

Hello, I found that clicking the icon to complete the task and clicking the link in the timeline will directly open the task file. I think this may lose their original meaning. Why not open the file directly and click them?

Feature Request

It doesn't appear that markdown aliases are rendered correctly... I uses note aliases in my tasks to keep them shorter.

For example:
- [ ] Follow up with [[John Smith|John]] on the document he wrote.

Which shows as:

• Follow up with John Smith|John on the document he wrote.

PS - Super impressed with what you created here!

[FR] Option to append task at the end of a section rather than at the start

It would be convenient to be able to add tasks to the end of a section, rather than at the top of it, when adding using the quick add field. My usecase is when tasks are timestamped and supposed to be presented in chronological order within the Daily note.

Grouping tasks from same note inside day

hi,

this is great! but i would like the events on the same page to be grouped. I know nothing about coding. I read the readme and could not find any hints.

please help.
