tracks's Issues

Two new actions in one category w/o refresh --> error

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/229

I've got Tracks 1.04 running on my webhost's servers (tigertech.net). They have all the requisite Ruby on Rails stuff in place.

If I add a new action from the main page, it's added to the Big List without complaint. If, however, I add a second new action in the same context, without first refreshing the main page, it fails. Sometimes I get an error message where the green confirmation box should be: "An error occured on the server." But not always. (The first time I trigger the bug, I get the error message. If I trigger the bug again without refreshing, I don't.)

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #75, now #1542.

Add User link for admin account

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/248

After fighting this yesterday, I thought that I might add a ticket for all to enjoy.

Can you add a "Add Users" link at the top for the user that 'Is_Admin = 1'? It took me a good 12 hours to realize that the system did not know who I was until I logged in, then I manually added the '/signup' at the end of the URL AFTER I logged in.

Thanks.

Web service API for creating a new action

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/241

As a first step to enabling alternate means of adding actions to a tracks instance, I've added a web service method to create a new todo.

The method signature is as follows

  int NewTodo(string username, string token, int context_id, string description)

The token is the same token that's used in the feed URLs. Open question: Is this secure enough?

The int returned is the id of the newly created action.

Patch and new files to be attached now.

highlight the current active view in the top navigation bar

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/231

'Home', 'Contexts', 'Project' become bold+underline only when hovered on.
The current tab could be highlighted or something to make it clear which view we are in.

make the expanded/collapsed state persistent across sessions on each computer

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/232

The expanded/collapsed state for each context in the home view could be remembered from one session to the next on the same computer (based one IP or cookie). For example, the @home context would always open expanded on my home PC, and the @work context on my work PC, and conversely.

Submitting a second next action without a page refresh causes a server error

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/228

I've experienced this error from both the project page and the home page. Trying to submit two next actions in a row doesn't work. The first gets submitted fine, but "An error occurred on the server" is shown upon trying to submit the second. If I reload the page, it will work properly again. Here's the relevant portion of production.log, showing the first, successful submit and the second, unsuccessful one directly thereafter:

Processing TodoController#add_item (for 127.0.0.1 at 2006-03-15 11:15:57) [POST]

The curious thing, and possibly the source of the bug, is that the second submit shows a blank context_id and project_id, yet I actually had them selected. I have gone back and verified this: I can have both items selected, but they come through blank.

By the way, I'm running 1.04, but that's not in the options for versions.

No way to specify SSL is being used for URLs

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #50, now #1517.

I've got getontracks wrapped with stunnel, go to https://example.org/login, login, directs you to the non https page https://example.org/, manually change it to https:// and reload, logged into site ok. It would be nice if it was possible to specify that the site is running HTTPS so after logging in it directs you to the site properly.

Added new action notification is not lined up correctly

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/227

The new stylesheet is great, but now the notification that a new action has been added looks a bit odd and completely unaligned with the rest. See the enclosed picture.

editing an action to change it's context doesn't move it

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/245

If you change the context of an existing action in the edit form on the home page, it should move to the appropriate context.

Improve UI of user preferences page

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/225

week_starts should be a select list of days of the week.
due_style should be a radio button "Due in 3 days" vs. "Due on Wednesday"

Completed actions: displaying context and project

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/254

It would be nice if look of "completed actions" section at home page was presented at least the same way as it is in "Done" page.

In "Done" page action is accompleshed with context and project name while "completed actions" section holds only action name.

Dragging not working on iPad

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #8, now #1475.

In "Organize -> contexts" dragging is not working in an iPad.

Allow ToDo items to tagged with a "Today" flag

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/239

Request: Allow any ToDo to be marked as "Today", and a "Today" context/view will list them all together. After the day has ended all of the Today marks are cleared. (Whether this aspect should be automatic or explicit is debatable.)

The GTD Context concept is good, but the mind is going think about lots of things beyond the current context. Grouping a varied list of activities into "this is my Monday, 20 March" and checking them off is satisfying/motivating. A permanent Today context or a Today button on the top bar are possible UI implementation ideas.

Proposed edits / features

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #74, now #1541.

Hi all,

I've just started using tracks I've come across a number of small improvements. I'll just list them in this issue, but I can split them up if need be.

I'm not sure which version of Tracks I'm using, because I just deployed this from Amazon's CloudFormation. Some of these notes may have been covered already.

Mass-edit

I often find myself wanting to add tags to a group of items. It would be great if we could select a number of items and apply changes to all of them / delete them / etc...

Pivotal tracker provides a good example of how this could be done.

Calendar to Timeline

When I clicked on the "Calendar" view, I expected an actual calendar. I'm ok with the current functionality, but I think a better title for the section would be "Timeline", since that seems to match better.

Next Action in Timeline (Calendar) view

I often find myself using the Calendar view, but there's no input form for a new Next Action. It would be helpful to have another _add_new_item_form.rhtml rendered on this page, just below the iCal feed on the right.

App info page

As I mentioned, I'm not sure which version I'm running. I expected there to be an "About" menu under the "?" tab, which would have version information. (May be handy for situations like this.)

I'm interested in contributing to this project, so please let me know what has / hasn't been done and which edits I could work on.

Thanks,
Loren

NoMethodError in Todo#list

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/234

I've installed Tracks 1.04 sucessfully (at least I thought so). After playing around a little bit, setting up a few contexts, projects and actions, I am now getting a NoMethodError in Todo#list on the start page (http://localhost:3000/). I can access other pages, like e.g. http://localhost:3000/projects, but get the same error on accessing http://localhost:3000/todo/list.
The full message is the following:

NoMethodError in Todo#list

Documentation Modification: Information on the use of "Notes" tab is missing

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/242

None of the documentation specifies a) what the Notes functionality is for and b) how I can enable whatever functionality it may provide.

When I click the "Notes" top navigation item I see no content (although I see the tracks framework HTML), and no buttons to perform any actions.

I am an ecstatic user of tracks 1.04 on Linux Fedora Core 4 using Firefox 1.5. I use project and context functionality daily and have no other functional problems.

expand/collapse in home view does not work after 'add action'

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/230

In the home view, the context expand/collapse +/- buttons work fine until I add a new action. After that, the button toggles +/- but nothing happens.

next actions with sensitive due-date doesn't automatically sorted with Ajax

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/256

When I add new next action with due date set it goes to the bottom of the specified context unconditionally.

It's only gets sorted to a proper place of the list when I refresh the page.

iCal feed broken

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #71, now #1538.

I can't import iCal feed to Google Calendar.
Tim on the mailing list described well what also happened to me:
" I tried to re-establish my tracks feed in my google calendar. The
first time I add my feed, it comes back saying that my robots.txt was
preventing them from reading the feed. I went in and checked, and the
stock (at least I think it is stock as I don't recall ever modifying it)
robots.txt was banning all bots. For grins, I commented out all the
lines in the robots.txt file, but it still wouldn't load the ics
file... Even restarted my apache in the hopes that maybe it was an
issue with it getting cached. Also looked at the /robots.txt in my
browser and it looks like it should."

It isn't possible to mark todos with a show_from date as completed

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #83, now #1550.

This seems to happen because the validation on a valid show_from date triggers here as well, even thought the show_from date for this todo item isn't new. Removing the show_from date from the todo item is a workaround and then the todo can be completed normally.

need to refresh page after moving actions between contexts

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/255

When moving actions between contexts changes are not instantly reflected on the page. It seems that there is no Ajax support in this particular area.

This bug is probably correlates with bug #220.

problem installing under fedora core 4

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/224

Hello,
I am trying to install tracks-1.04 on Fedora Core 4 Linux.
Mysql is running, and I have created the database, and updated database.yml
The problem is: when I do 'rake migrate', I get the error:

rake aborted!
Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SELECT version FROM schema_info

On the other hand, if I try 'rake db_schema_import', no error is reported, but the database is still empty.
If I try to run the server anyway, and access 0.0.0.0:3000/signup only the favicon is served, and the document is empty
Do you have any suggestions about things to try or places to look in the code ?
Thanks a lot.

context view doesn't refresh when adding a new context

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #14, now #1481.

2. enter a new context
3. press return

=> the page doesn't refresh automatically to show the new context

email management

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/240

This is a longshot, and a lot of work. I was using the GTD Add-In for MS Outlook for a while, and I'd LOVE to see Tracks support this sort of thing.

Essentially, Tracks would have to act as a web based email client. All email comes to your inbox and you then filter it from there, but w/ somewhat sophistocated wizards. For example, an email comes in from your real estate agent about an offer you've received for your house. From the Projects list, you select "Sell house". From the "Contexts" list you select "At Computer". You click the reply button and email your agent a counter offer. When you send it, instead of going to "Sent Mail", a copy goes to "Waiting".

You get the idea. Obviously, there are a million ways this could work, and the best approach might be to offer simple manual options in earlier releases that can be automated in later releases.

Links suggestions

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #9, now #1476.

It seems that tracks recently moved to github. Here're some things I noticed while reading about tracks:

• https://github.com/bsag/tracks-old: the "IMPOTANT:" link doesn't work
• http://www.getontracks.org/forums/: memberships are not permitted at this point. This will confuse new users. Maybe point them to the mailing list on that page
• http://getontracks.org/: maybe add a link to the mailing list under "Community"
• http://getontracks.org/: maybe add "inactive" to the support forum link under "Community"

Tagging via the REST API

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #61, now #1528.

The Rest API does not seem to cover the tagging functionality. Has any branch already covered this?

Review mode missing

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #11, now #1478.

Tracks is missing a review mode for regularly passing over all projects.

The following suggestion might be simple to implement and do the job:

• Add a 'last_reviewed' date to each action
• Add a view that sorts all actions based the 'last_reviewed' date
• Add a button next to each action to mark as reviewed, which updates the 'last_reviewed' date

ui-datepicker below the task option down arrow

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #65, now #1532.

The down arrow for options on tasks end up above the calendar when editing the due date for a task. This only results when editing a task and selecting due date as there are tasks below the one being edited. I am running tracks from master, but this same problem existed in 1.7 and 2.0. I have always fixed it by including important in the standard stylesheet.

The change I make is the following
.ui-datepicker { z-index: 1000 !important; }

Allow Completed Items Shown = 0

Allow Completed Items Shown = 0 shoe NO completed items on the home page. I don't feel seeing CI on the home page add any value, so i would like them taken off. Tried setting Pref to 0 (zero), but that showed ALL of my completed items.

rake load_fixtures failes on XP creating notes

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/249

Installing on Windows XP, the step:
rake load_fixtures

fails with:
Mysql::Error: #HY000Field 'project_id' doesn't have a default value: INSERT INTO
notes (id, user_id) VALUES (1, 1)

Turns out /pathto/tracks/text/fixtures/notes.yml needs to specify project_id.

Adding project_id: 1 after the two user_id: 1 lines fixes the problem.

Palm OS Java Script Event Handling Error

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/226

Thank you so much for an amazing database. I access my tracks database hosted on Mac OS X 10.4 computer running WEBrick. I have successfully accessed the databse remotely through http://XX.XX.XXX.XX:XXXX on several different machines and environments. However when I try to access my tracks databse on my Sprint Treo 650 via its built in web browser I get two Java Script Alert: Event handler could not be attached messages once I login in.

The page is formatted correctly, I can see all my tasks on the home page but the add a next action in inoperable nor can I edit/add any tasks. The same error happens on each of the pages (contexts, projects) -- all of the URL links work just fine, only the "add new...", checkboxes etc don't work.

Any suggestions?

Time zones are not taken into account

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/238

All of the date related functions rely on the current date/time of the server. The user's local time might be many hours different, thus resulting in the presented date and all derivatives (i.e. days left calculations) being incorrect. This is a per-user configuration, so ideally the local time zone should be a user preference item.

config/site.yml - open_signup: false allows signups

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #49, now #1516.

Running TracksApp-tracks-22a0c94, in config/site.yml I set open_signup: to false and signups are still allowed. Not good.

'Done' page generating errors about comparison of time with nil

Somewhere between the 1.04 tagged release and the current trunk, the 'done' page started generating nil errors.

Improved Quicksilver Applescript

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/246

Inspired by bsag's applescript, I've created one that works nicely with quicksilver and my new api method for tracks. I'm going to attach the applescript here. Here are the instructions:

1. Download the AppleScript.
2. Edit the script to include your own username, token, context id, and url
3. Compile and save the script
4. Copy the script to ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/ (you may need to create the Actions directory)
5. Restart Quicksilver
6. Activate Quicksilver (Ctrl+Space by default)
7. Press "." to put quicksilver into text mode
8. Type the description of the next action you want to add
9. Press tab to switch to the action pane.
10. By typing or scrolling, choose the "Add to Tracks" action.

That's it! To be google-friendly, I'm going to include the source of the applescript here, too.

using terms from application "Quicksilver"
    on process text ThisClipping
        
        (* You need to edit these lines with your own info *)
        set myUsername to "YOUR_USERNAME"
        set myToken to "YOUR_TOKEN"
        set myContextID to YOUR_CONTEXT_ID
        (* Almost done with stuff to edit. Change the url on the next line, too. *)
        
        tell application "http://YOUR_DOMAIN/backend/api"
            set returnValue to call xmlrpc {method name:"NewTodo", parameters:{myUsername, myToken, myContextID, ThisClipping}}
        end tell
        tell application "Quicksilver"
            show notification "Tracks: action added."
        end tell
    end process text
end using terms from

Happy GTDing!

Visiting yoururl.domain/notes generates an error when there are no notes

Just that. This should be handled more gracefully.

Ordering on Feeds

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/237

I just noticed that the feeds do not adhere to the order of the contexts from the home page. I have re-ordered my contexts to put my most important on the top. When I did a TXT feed to print out to put in my Moleskine, it reordered them alphabetically.

Is there a way to keep the context order on the feeds?

Fail with factory_girl or internal 500?

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #86, now #1553.

I've been trying to deploy Tracks for a long time now. When I try with ruby 1.8.7, bundler spits out

(...)installer.rb:364:in `ensure_required_ruby_version_met': factory_girl requires Ruby version >= 1.9.2. (Gem::InstallError)

On the other hand, when I deploy on ruby 1.9.x, it moves mush further, but not as far as the signup page, which is replaced by a "sorry ... error 500" message. In this case, the logs shout out various things.

Oh, if it isn't clear so far, I'm new to Ruby...

Translations incomplete

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #72, now #1539.

Hi,

I've created a Hebrew translation as was instructed in the wiki, and translated 687 messages.

There are parts that are still missing the translation (part from the 22 messages I did not yet translate) appearing in the UI.

I haven't performed a thorough inspection of all parts but the apparent ones are:

1. Homepage -> "Admin" menu not translated.
2. Homepage -> Sidebar form, fields names that were not translated are: Description, Notes, Project, Context, Tags, Due, Show from
3. Homepage -> below sidebar -> "Active Projects", "Active Context" fields contain 'action' which is not translated.
4. Edit actions icon: opened form contains: "Update" and "Cancel" buttons untranslated.
5. Projects page - "ACTIVE" is not translated.
6. Projects page - side form fields: Name, Description, Default context name, Default tags - are not translated.
7. Admin -> Users: form title fields: Login, Display name, Auth type, Open id url - were not translated.
8. Admin -> Users: Auth type field: "Database"
9. Statistics page - graph axis labels are not translated.
10. Statistics page - grpah labels are reversed (not RTL)

Will send the locale file an/or screenshots as needed.

Thanks,
Darian

Create new project fails on XP

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/250

Installed Tracks 1.0.4 on Windows XP following instructions provided. Imported fixtures to get sample data. Tracks comes up just fine.

Now select Create new project>> from Projects page. New project form flashes briefly on screen, followed by:

Request: Tracks as Hipster Composer

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/236

I would like Tracks to have a "Hipster PDA" composer function. Format output for 3x5, vertical in my mind but maybe horizontal. Print 4 to a page or direct to 3x5.

Projects, one per card.

NextAction lists, one context per card (or if @home is too big, a second card would be fine).

Consider when in NextAction cards it should also put the { Project } it is associated with, appended to the NextAction.

Listing as Design/Apperance because I think the bits are still there, just needs to have a VIEW defined for this.

SALT is configured in environment.rb but that file is managed by source control. Shouldn't we make some sort of .tmpl file or something?

add a 'followup' button next to 'delete' and 'edit'

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/233

how about adding a 'followup' button next to 'delete' and 'edit' next to each action ?
It would mark the action as done, but prompt for the next action in the same project and propose the same context by default. E.g. I would mark 'call X about Y' done and immediately add 'wait for answer fro X about Y' as next action.

Old links from blog

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #6, now #1473.

Hi,

I'm know this is not the proper place to write this. However, the blog & forums are not accepting the registration of new members so I write it here.

I would like to write ruby tracks <-> outlook sync in different way than proposed in the wiki outlook integration. Does not work with outlook 2010. I would like to get hang of "older scripts" to get idea how to approach track's API.

So my question is, when do you think these scripts could be reachable again?

session is too large

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/244

session file created in tmp/sessions is 87K. Should be much smaller. I think this is preventing me from using active_record_session_store as well.

Is this test correct?

This issue number may also refer to the older ticket #85, now #1552.

I ran the tests and it failed on test_next_todo_without_previous_todo in test/unit/recurring_todo_test.rb line 211.

I was quite curious if the tests are all supposed to be equal with the use of nil and Time.now.utc + 1.day

I'm writing this issue to gain a little clarification on this test so I can further debug it. Thanks.
