mGSD Next and Waiting Actions by Context Bug?

2010-08-05 Thread d...@emu
I do not see any Next Actions in the mGSD Next and Waiting Actions
by Context view. All I see are Waiting actions. I suspect there is
a bug in the code, but I am not sufficiently versed in tiddlywiki
javascript to fix it without investing a lot of time. Has anyone else
noticed this and been able to fix it? Can you please post the fix?
Thanks.

Re: Waiting actions by person - Confused

Waiting actions by person

Think of it more as

Waiting Actions (grouped by person).

Try adding a bunch of waiting actions and give some of them an associated
contact then it might make more sense.

A long time ago it used to be Waiting Actions by Context but then someone
suggested that context wasn't that useful for a waiting action (after all it
doesn't matter what your context is if you are waiting on some third party
or other events to transpire) but associated contact was in fact quite a
useful piece of information for waiting actions.

The fact that (No Contact) is a clickable link is not really by design. It
probably shouldn't be.

Just btw (and for more advanced users), if you seldom use contacts and just
want a flat list of waiting actions there then you can get it by modifying
the appropriate mgtdList in the !Project section of TagDashboards tiddler.
Remove the group:Contact param. Or you could change it back to group:Context
it that works better for you.

Simon.

Re: Waiting actions

2009-04-20 Thread Kralik

OK, a few haphazard thoughts:

1) I think I meant !Tickler instead of !Tiddler. I get those confused
all of the time. =P TaggyTagging shows a list of all tiddlers tagged
with the title of the current tiddler. In other words, if any actions
are dependent on a certain action, they will be listed and linked at
the bottom of the action tiddler. This is for convenience/
organization. Put it right before the closing /div in !Action (and
optionally !Tickler).
2) I used the action dependencies to deal with mini 2-4 step projects
when I don't want to create a whole project in mGTD. It seems simpler
that way.
3) The dependent action button should create tags with the Future
status. Make sure it's listed with the other tags? Originally I didn't
think of it but someone suggested it, so the code's in this thread
somewhere.
4) The dropdown list SHOULD show the action selected. It does in my
system. Did you make sure to add Action to the tagsToIndex list in
MgtdConf? This step is important.
5) Multiple dependencies: This is doable, but it seems like it would
be a MESS to create dozens of checkboxes. :(

Cheers,
Kralik

 Hi there,

 thank you for helping me out with the wiki pre-tag, bkh!
 I adjusted the other code.

 But I am still not really sure about the last part.
 As Kralik mentioned, he still includes
 _
 To show dependent actions, add the following to TitleButtons under !
 Action and !Tiddler (also right before last /div):
 div macro=tagglyTagging class=tagglyTagging/div
 _
 i also have this in my mGTD, but in TitleButtons I only found
 !Action and i could not figure out where !Tiddler is. My mGTD seems
 to work fine though.

 And although I included everything now mentioned in the wiki-article
 still the new dependent action is not set to future if it is created
 with the
 dependent action button in the toolbar. Also the dropdownmenu does not
 show then the action on which it is dependent. Nevertheless if I
 choose it
 in the dropdown manually it sets the action to future. (not really a
 bug, or?)

 @Kralik:
 - could you please specify again what this line
 div macro=tagglyTagging class=tagglyTagging/div
 does and where to include it exactly? Then I will be glad to update
 the wiki
 accordingly.
 - I agree, that it would be better to remove the entry for new action
 from the dropdown-list
 as long as it is not consistent.
 - To show dependent actions, but as noted, I changed the dependent
 action code a bit. - mh, what part do you mean with dependent
 action code?
 I am not sure to have it included in the wiki.

 And the last one:
 I would like to hear your opinions about multi-dependencies.
 Is there a need for something like A depends on the completion of all
 B,C and D?
 Technical possibility? As far as I know, I never saw so far a
 combination of a dropdown-list
 with a checkbox-field, which would be kind of needed if this design
 should include several
 choices for dependencies.
 e.g. like this
 Action A
 Depends on: [                       ]
                       |
                    _ V_
                    |  [  ] Action B       |
                    |  [ x ] Action C     |
                    |  [ x ] Action D     |
                    |___|  

 Referring to the GTD-principles, shouldn't this be done with projects/
 subprojects rather than with
 interdependent actions?

 Any suggestions or comments? I would appreciate it!

 Again many thanks for the efforts!

Re: Waiting actions

2009-04-14 Thread Arma

Hi there,

thank you all very much!!
This is just what makes mGTD even more useful.
I have just two remarks:
1) On the wikipage

  If you're gonna write a summary, don't do it here -- do it on the 
  wiki:http://tiddlywiki.org/index.php?title=MonkeyGTD/Customization_Guide/W...


the instructions do not really lead to functional version (I followed
the instructions given here in the posts)
My guess is that the final step (which is an earlier one here in the
posts) is somehow truncated.

2) I noticed in the dropdown-list, there is one item New Action...
but on clicking this, there is something generated, but it is not a
full blown action. Somehow I can find it via search, but it (the
tiddler presumably with this name) has no project associated and it is
not set to anything (next, waiting, future).
If I may I would like to suggest to open this newly created action
(from the New Action... of the dropdown-list) instantaneously as a
next-action of the same-project (I don't see any good way right now to
specify, thus one would have to adjust the action-type manually (if it
should be also a future action, not a next) but next should
definetly be the default, don't you think?

I would like to here your suggestions, and please keep up the
excellent work, this is getting more fantastic! (I already infected
some of my friends with mGTD ;-) )

THX Arma

Re: Waiting actions

2009-04-04 Thread Kralik

 Another thing; it is a bit inconsistent now in that the default for
 created actions is 'next'. I suggest a quick-fix(?): Setting a
 Depends on pretty much by definition means that an action is
 Future and IMO should be changed into that by default (if it was
 tagged Next, but not SomedayMaybe or Waiting). As it is now, this has
 to be done manually.
 Possible?

Great idea! Here you go, put this in MgtdTagControls --
MultiSelectTag. Find the following:

// if selectedItem is null this works to remove any
actOnTiddler.setTagFromGroup(tag,selectedItem);

Then add below:

// automatically make dependent actions future
if (tag == Action) {
if (selectedItem == null)
  actOnTiddler.setTagFromGroup(ActionStatus, Next);
else
  actOnTiddler.setTagFromGroup(ActionStatus, Future);
}

Note that if an action is dependent and you remove that dependency, it
will become a Next action.
Works for me -- let me know what you think!

Re: Waiting actions

2009-04-04 Thread Mat

This is getting GREAT

I did a little testing and found the following; If an action B is set
as dependant on A, but B is marked as Waiting for. Then, finishing
A, auto-sets B to *both* Next and Waiting for. I think only Future
actions should be auto-set to Next. (Less serious is that also Done
actions seem to get an extra Next).

For the record, in the last code provided by Kralik, the final }

I.e the whole thingy should end with a  }

(Ideally, when typing actions into the wonderful QuickAdd feature,
they are typically naturally sequenced. As such it would be superb if
QuickAdd automagically added the preceding actions as tags to the
latter.

Re: Waiting actions

2009-03-25 Thread Kralik

Even better than the last tweak (though you could certainly use both),
here is a GUI-dropdown addition that lets you assign an action a
dependent action. It's pretty easy:

1) Edit MgtdConf and add Action, to the tagsToIndex list.
2) Edit TitleButtons and add the following code under the !Action
heading:

// reference line, near the top
 div style=float:right; class=smaller
// new line right here:
  span class=labelDepends on:/spanspan macro=multiSelectTag
Action allowNone:on/spanspan macro=linkToParent Action/span

Tada!

 I love the concept of SequencedActionsPlugin but in practice use I've
 found it too iffy with all the additional manual work it requires to
 write or copy-paste the names of actions as tags etc etc.

 For it to be practical, I say it would have to be integrated more -

Re: Waiting actions

I'm using it.  It's fabulous.

I like the idea of including a drop down so that dependencies can be set
without editing the tiddler manually.  You'd want a multi-select list box,
if such a thing exists in MonkeyGTD, because some actions depend on more
than one prior action.

 When I get a chance I will have a play with this and hopefully include it

 Thanks for the contribution. Now that some time has passed, is anyone out

  Hello,
 
  i modified my monkeygtd to support sequenced-Actions. I use the
  normal Tag-Feature to Control the sequence of the actions. When i
  create an action that depends on another action i just Tag it with
  the name of the first one, and set it to Future. When the first
  Action is marked as Done or, if it is a Ticker, is marked as
  Actioned (only works for one-time-Ticklers). the second action is
  modified from Future to Next. There is no GUI-Support for this, i
  have to edit the Actions and type in manualy the name of the Actions
  in the Tags-Field.
 
  Maybe with an Example its more clear to understand:
 
  First
  Action:
  Action 1
 
  Can be done when Action 1 is finished:   Action
  2  Action3
 
  Can be done when A2 and A3 are finished:  Action
  4
 
  I create the actions like this
 
  Action 1, a normal Next Action
 
  Action 2 and Action 3 Future Actions Tagged with [Action 1]
 
  Action 4 Future action Tagged with [Action 2] [Action 3]
 
  - Now, when i finish Action 1, the code searches for Actions with
  the Tag Action 1, and finds Action 2 and Action 3.
  - For each Action the code searches if all required Actions (only
  Action 1 in this case) are done. If this is true, the Action (here
  Action 2 and 3) are moved from Future to Next
  - If i undo Action 1, Action 2 and Action 3 are moved from Next to
  Future
 
  - When Action 2 is finished, again all Actions with the Tag Action
  2 are searched, in this case just Action 4.
  - The Code starts searching all Actions and Ticklers that are
  referenced in the Tag-field of Action 4. It finds Action 2 as done,
  but Action 3 as not done, so the Action 4-Action is NOT moved from
  Future to Next
  - Now Action 3 is done, too.
  - The Code again searches for all Actions and Tickers that are
  referenced in the Tag-field of Action 4. Now it finds both Actions
  (Action 2 and Action 3) as Done so Action 4  is moved from
  Future to Next.
 
  The visualisation in the GUI for this solution is not very good. In
  the Project-Dashboard the Actions are not ordered in the right way,
  and  you can not see that there are dependencies between the actions.
  But for me this is ok, its just for auto-nexting one of the future
  actions, so that i dont have to do a check of the Projects with no
  next action-View. Or Project Dashboard every time i finish an Action
  that is part of a Project.
 
  Maybe someone else can add some UI-Support to this solution.
 
  Until now i did not test it with MonkeyGTDs with many Actions, so
  maybe there is still a performance problem with this, but for my (at
  the moment) small test environment it works good. Next step will be
  more tests and the integration in my production-monkeygtd.
 
  Please do not integrate this without good testing in your production-
  Monkey-GTDs. Maybe there is still something wrong that can cause your
  data to be damaged!
 
  So here is what i have done.
 
  I modified the function TiddlyWiki.prototype.setTiddlerTag. now it
  contains this code:
 
  TiddlyWiki.prototype.setTiddlerTag = function(title,status,tag)
  {
  var tiddler = this.fetchTiddler(title);
  if(tiddler) {
  var t = tiddler.tags.indexOf(tag);
  if(t != -1)
  tiddler.tags.splice(t,1);
  if(status)
   

Re: Waiting actions

2008-12-23 Thread Jim McD

Hi,
   Well done on the coding.  Action dependancies are outside of GTD
though, and within the realm of project planning.  There are loads of
free and commercial project planning tools on the market, that will do
dependancies, critical path ananlysis, float, resource management
etc.  MS Project is one.

However there are very few GTD tools, and MGTD is probably the best
there is.  Please don't change MGTD from a GTD tool into a ten-a-penny
project manager.

About half the posts to this group are requests for MGTD to be turned
into something else, eg. project planner, mail client, address book,
PIM tool, calenndar manager.  All worthy applications, but nothing to
do with GTD really, and well catered for elsewhere.

Sorry to be so negative around Christmas time.  Have a happy
Christmas!  And well done on the coding, it's more than I could have
managed.

Jim.

 (http://gtd-tiddlywiki.googlegroups.com/web/monkeygtd-SequencedActions...
 ) The html-Upload did not work, so i added the zip-File, that can be
 downloaded from the files area.

 When you unzip it, and open the file with this added to the filename:

 #[[SequencedActions%20Demo]]%20Action1%20Action2%20Action3%20Action4%20
 [[Do%20Something]]%20Action5

 or  just open the SequencedActions Demo Tidder for instructions.

 Maybe this helps,
 Carsten

  Hello,

  i modified my monkeygtd to support sequenced-Actions. I use the
  normal Tag-Feature to Control the sequence of the actions. When i
  create an action that depends on another action i just Tag it with
  the name of the first one, and set it to Future. When the first
  Action is marked as Done or, if it is a Ticker, is marked as
  Actioned (only works for one-time-Ticklers). the second action is
  modified from Future to Next. There is no GUI-Support for this, i
  have to edit the Actions and type in manualy the name of the Actions
  in the Tags-Field.

  Maybe with an Example its more clear to understand:

  First
  Action:
  Action 1

  Can be done when Action 1 is finished:                   Action
  2      Action3

  Can be done when A2 and A3 are finished:                      Action
  4

  I create the actions like this

  Action 1, a normal Next Action

  Action 2 and Action 3 Future Actions Tagged with [Action 1]

  Action 4 Future action Tagged with [Action 2] [Action 3]

  - Now, when i finish Action 1, the code searches for Actions with
  the Tag Action 1, and finds Action 2 and Action 3.
  - For each Action the code searches if all required Actions (only
  Action 1 in this case) are done. If this is true, the Action (here
  Action 2 and 3) are moved from Future to Next
  - If i undo Action 1, Action 2 and Action 3 are moved from Next to
  Future

  - When Action 2 is finished, again all Actions with the Tag Action
  2 are searched, in this case just Action 4.
  - The Code starts searching all Actions and Ticklers that are
  referenced in the Tag-field of Action 4. It finds Action 2 as done,
  but Action 3 as not done, so the Action 4-Action is NOT moved from
  Future to Next
  - Now Action 3 is done, too.
  - The Code again searches for all Actions and Tickers that are
  referenced in the Tag-field of Action 4. Now it finds both Actions
  (Action 2 and Action 3) as Done so Action 4  is moved from
  Future to Next.

  The visualisation in the GUI for this solution is not very good. In
  the Project-Dashboard the Actions are not ordered in the right way,
  and  you can not see that there are dependencies between the actions.
  But for me this is ok, its just for auto-nexting one of the future
  actions, so that i dont have to do a check of the Projects with no
  next action-View. Or Project Dashboard every time i finish an Action
  that is part of a Project.

  Maybe someone else can add some UI-Support to this solution.

  Until now i did not test it with MonkeyGTDs with many Actions, so
  maybe there is still a performance problem with this, but for my (at
  the moment) small test environment it works good. Next step will be
  more tests and the integration in my production-monkeygtd.

  Please do not integrate this without good testing in your production-
  Monkey-GTDs. Maybe there is still something wrong that can cause your
  data to be damaged!

  So here is what i have done.

  I modified the function TiddlyWiki.prototype.setTiddlerTag. now it
  contains this code:

  TiddlyWiki.prototype.setTiddlerTag = function(title,status,tag)
  {
          var tiddler = this.fetchTiddler(title);
          if(tiddler) {
                  var t = tiddler.tags.indexOf(tag);
                  if(t != -1)
                          tiddler.tags.splice(t,1);
                  if(status)
