Onderwerp: Re: [Tracks-discuss] GTD collect & process implementation
work in progress
Hi again all.
My patches are already quite outdated as I made some progress.
I want to put this stuff on github, but git and github are also fairly
new to me.
I followed
http://railsontherun.com/2008/3/3/how-to-use-github-and-submit-a-patch
and setup my own branch (see http://github.com/Dieterbe ). I'm
following git://github.com/bsag/tracks.git
(also recommended at http://dev.rousette.org.uk/ )
The problem is tracks from this branch seems to be quite unstable.
When running it for the first time I enter my account details and when
going to the homepage I immediately get
"ActiveRecord::ConfigurationError in TodosController#index
Association named 'tags' was not found; perhaps you misspelled it?"
Is this a mistake or is this branch just supposed to be this
*bleeding*-edge?
In that case, people like me should probably follow a more stable one
to
develop against? Which one?
Should i go back to a specific revision? (I know with svn I can update
to a specific tag or branch but with git...)
Thanks,
Dieter

Hello everyone.
I started implementing the 'collect' and 'process' steps of GTD into
tracks.
For the full rationale behind it and more information I refer to this
thread: http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/forums/viewthread/258/
(my
username is Dieter_be there) And of course the book GTD itself where
these steps and their benefits are explained clearly also.
Keep in mind that even though I have some programming experience (php
&
cakephp among others) I started learning both ruby and RoR from
scratch
since 2 days ago. So what I have achieved this far is probably
peanuts
for you guys. ( http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/ giving me 503's
makes
it especially hard..)
What I'm working on right now : a simple model 'thought' (+
controller
and views) which should become reachable through
<hostname>:3000/inbox
to give a page with an overview and a form to submit a new thought
(similar to the contexts/projects pages). I still have some problems
getting the routing to work among others.
When I get that finished, the next step will be a page called
'process'
This page will load the oldest unprocessed thought and propose the
following options:
* create new action/project (can be normal one or someday/maybe)
* delete
(strictly speaking there should be an option to convert into general
reference , but tracks doesn't implement this so the user should
update
his external general reference system itself and delete the thought).
If the user submits this form, I will use ajax to do the necessary
things and on success the next unprocessed thought can be loaded.
This
process of processing thoughts one by one using ajax continues until
there are no more thoughts (or the user leaves the page)
Here are the necessary queries and patches against 1.6 :
http://users.edpnet.be/dieter/tracks-patches/
PS : I'll check out how I can use git and github, this should make
patching and sharing paches easier I guess.
PPS: Keep in mind the code is still very basic, some things are even
the
default scaffolded files. I'm new to rails & ror and I tackle
problem
by problem.
PPPS: Do you guys hang out on irc? An irc channel is a great way for
developers to talk to each other in real time, and for users to talk
to
developers. I saw that #tracks on freenode was still empty so I hang
out there, if anyone wants to join ... ;-)
