Please experiment with my new TiddlyTaskAttacker

[Dave Gifford - http://www.giffmex.org/]

Hi everyone

I've been using a special system for a while now to organize my tasks
with TiddlyWiki. (Yes, I gave up on my own TiddlyDu2 a long time ago,
even though now lately it's been getting some press on the Internet).
My new project uses special new tiddler macros and other features to
quickly create and delete tasks within various projects.

Now that I am pleased with it and I have found that it works well for
me, I thought I would offer a prefab version in case others find it
handy. I think early this year I was experimenting with something
similar and announced it here. But I wasn't satisfied with that one. I
am pretty happy with this one. I call it TiddlyTaskAttacker and it can
be found here:

http://www.giffmex.org/experiments/TTA.html

Words of warning:
1. The main features are not visible online, so you need to download
it to play with it.
2. I need to refine the instructions here and there. But they are
basically all there.
3. This is not for people who don't want to tinker even just a little
bit. To get it completely customized, you will need to do a little
upfront work, which is not a new experience for TW users. But there
are instructions for how to do that, and the upfront investment of a
few minutes will more than pay off.

Please try it out, then give me feedback on it.

Even if you don't end up using TTA, you may find you want to swipe a
few features here and there.

Blessings and Merry Christmas,

Dave Gifford

Another a fine effort Dave. There are some very interesting
innovative uses of standard plugins. I will definitely be stealing
from it:-)

Merry Christmas to you and yours,

Dave,
I'm loving TTA. I added in the DeliciousTagging macro with no adverse
effect.

I'd love to be able to collapse the master topics.

This excellent tool would become very useful in non-geek environments
if creating a new master topic could be initiated with a simple button
and form. The new master topic should appear automatically on the
main menu.

Today I created a TTA just for organizing the vast array of m3u
playlists on my disks, using LaunchApplications.

Thanks for your wonderful work.

Thanks for your kind words, but your comments about new master topics
makes me think you are referring to No-Brainer Notes, another recent
project of mine. TTA is a to-do list organizer and has no master
topics. This thread is really asking for people to try TTA
(TiddlyTaskAttacker) at http://www.giffmex.org/experiments/TTA.html.

As for your idea about adding forms to NBN, I have to confess that
forms are a bit beyond me. I did some for BibblyWiki a long time ago,
but they were cumbersome and time-consuming. There's got to be a
better way.

I'd love it if you could click on New Master Topic and have a popup
form ask you what the title of the master topic is, and when you click
okay it
1. adds your title to both the tiddler title and sitemap slider, and
2. Puts the new tiddler in view mode and opens a second popup telling
you to add subtopics and notes with the new here button. This second
popup would need a 'close' button.

I'm thinking something like the look of the RenameTag bookmarklet
popups, but not accessed by a bookmarklet, but by the New Master Topic
button on the topmenu.

If any of you out there want to come up with this, I will gladly add
it to the official file and copiously praise you in the credits
tiddler. But I'm afraid I won't be able to do it myself, Ken.

Dave, I don't think he really means forms.
I think he means a pop up you fill in the info on like Eric's
SetUserNamePlugin, or most of the actions and such on Simon's
MonkeyGTD.

That's what I mean too - it's a popup with a form field in it.

I like your new TiddlyTaskAttacker http://www.giffmex.org/experiments/TTA.html.
It has a friendlier look than MonkeyGTD and

However, I found and fixed a few bugs (for IE7 and Firefox on Win XP):

#1)
[[ByTaskType]] does not list "Phone calls" or "Data entry". To fix,
bet rid of the [[Square Brackets]]:

FIX:

''Phone calls''<br><<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains
("Phone calls")'>>
instead of
''Phone calls''<br><<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains
("[[Phone calls]]")'>>

and

''Data entry''<br><<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains("Data
entry")'>>
instead of
''Data entry''<br><<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains
("[[Data entry]]")'>>

#2) "This week's tasks console" tab on [[Work Console]] does not work
-- looks like Urgency tiddlers were renamed.

FIX:
Edit [[BasicTaskConsole]] to make case sensitive -- contains("XXXX")
and contains("xxxx") are not the same.

[[edit this|BasicTaskConsole]]|!|!Urgent|!Ongoing||!AM / High energy|
vertical-align: top;padding-right: 20px;<<forEachTiddler where
'tiddler.tags.contains("Urgent") && tiddler.tags.contains("High
Energy")' write '"[[" + tiddler.title+"]]\n"'>>|vertical-align:
top;padding-right: 20px;<<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains
("Ongoing") && tiddler.tags.contains("High Energy")' write '"[[" +
tiddler.title+"]]\n"'>>| |!Neutral|vertical-align: top;padding-right:
20px;<<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains("Urgent") &&
tiddler.tags.contains("Whatever")' write '"[[" + tiddler.title+"]]
\n"'>>|vertical-align: top;padding-right: 20px;<<forEachTiddler where
'tiddler.tags.contains("Ongoing") && tiddler.tags.contains
("Whatever")' write '"[[" + tiddler.title+"]]\n"'>>| |!PM / Low energy|
vertical-align: top;padding-right: 20px;<<forEachTiddler where
'tiddler.tags.contains("Urgent") && tiddler.tags.contains("Low
energy")' write '"[[" + tiddler.title+"]]\n"'>>|vertical-align:
top;padding-right: 20px;<<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains
("Ongoing") && tiddler.tags.contains("Low energy")' write '"[[" +
tiddler.title+"]]\n"'>>| |!|!Possibilities|!Waiting||!|vertical-align:
top;padding-right: 20px;<<forEachTiddler where 'tiddler.tags.contains
("Possibilities")' write '"[[" + tiddler.title+"]]\n"'>>|vertical-
align: top;padding-right: 20px;<<forEachTiddler where
'tiddler.tags.contains("Waiting")' write '"[[" + tiddler.title+"]]
\n"'>>|

#3) No Urgency of type "Waiting"

FIX:
Create new tiddler: Waiting
Tags: urgency excludeLists

#4) Test by creating a tiddler with all tasktypes, energylevels, and
urgencies clicked.
New tiddler: "Subproject Test"
Tags: TabFamilyHome work1 TabWork Whatever Urgent Clean/repair [[Data
entry]] E-mails Investigate/order [[Phone calls]] Read Shop/out Visit/
meet Write [[High Energy]] [[Low energy]] Plan/organize Done Ongoing
Possibilities Reporting Waiting

Should show up on all rows and columns of [[BasicTaskConsole]]

#5) Reporting not working

FIX:
Edit [[ReportingTab]] and change "reporting" to "Reporting"


[[Edit this|ReportingTab]]
This tab shows all the tasks you tagged as 'Reporting'.
!Stuff I did this quarter:
<<forEachTiddler
where 'tiddler.tags.contains("Reporting")'
>>

Wow, Joshua, thanks for all the hard work! I had a feeling there might
be one or two errors like that in there, but not five or more!

I will get on that today to fix those.

Dave

[Dave Gifford - http://www.giffmex.org/]

Done and uploaded with your changes. However, one change: High Energy
is now High energy to match the Low energy tag.

I like the title - Task Attacker sounds positive rather than the
rather tame sounding "getting things done".

Well I am going to give it a test run as I have an increasing number
of tasks to get through and my wife/business partner are going to do
some planning today.
