Tasks vanish from task list

Sorry, this is a bug in the task plugin.

Until the bug is fixed, please try this workaround:

• Open the file lib/plugins/task/helper.php
• Starting at line 137 you should find the following code block:

            $result[$task['key']] = array(
                    'id'       => $id,
                    'date'     => $date,
                    'user'     => $task['user']['name'],
                    'status'   => $this->statusLabel($task['status']),
                    'priority' => $task['priority'],
                    'perm'     => $perm,
                    'file'     => $task['file'],
                    'exists'   => true,
                    );

• Insert some lines in front of this code so that it looks like this:

            // Make sure the key is unique (but not more than 10 tries...
            // ...just a workaround for now)
            $max = 0;
            while (array_key_exists ($task['key'], $result)) {
                $task['key']++;
                $max++;
                if ($max > 10) {
                    break;
                }
            }

            $result[$task['key']] = array(
                    'id'       => $id,
                    'date'     => $date,
                    'user'     => $task['user']['name'],
                    'status'   => $this->statusLabel($task['status']),
                    'priority' => $task['priority'],
                    'perm'     => $perm,
                    'file'     => $task['file'],
                    'exists'   => true,
                    );

• Save the file

This will automatically do what you did. It does not change the task page content but when the task list is build and the number is the same as for a already listed task page it will simply increasing the number by 1. If there is still another task page with the same number it is increasing it again and so on... after 10 tries it is giving up and in that case you again would lose a task page in the list. That is why this is just a workaround to help you quick.

By the way: a very good examination of the problem. Not sure if I would have found it myself 👍

Worked well for me, please test.

Hi, I just updated the tasks-plugin to the newest version and noticed this bug. My tasks didn't show up. The code above fixed it. Maybe include the code in the next release?
