TW Project Plugin question

[Willy Tanner]

Hi everyone
I have recently discovered a rather wonderful plugin that bends Tiddlywiki towards project management.
https://nicolas.petton.fr/tw/project-manager.html

The one thing that bugs me about it is that right now every Tiddler that has a certain project tag (e.g. gardening) now appears as a todo item in that project gardening. I have lots of notes that belong to each project and only a small subset are actually todos. How can I limit the todo tiddlers to just the ones that have both the “todo” and the “gardening” tags? I would have thought that this was the purpose of the “todo” tag anyway but at least here there is no difference between a Tiddler that has “gardening” only or “gardening” and “todo”, they all appear as todos.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Hello Willy, I raised the request with Nico if it was possible to ginve an option to change the tags but, unfortunately, he never replied

it shouldn't be hard but I prefer not to hack his code as it makes updates far from trivial 

good luck

You probably edit this tiddler: $:/plugins/nico/pm/macros/project

I just looked at it but much as I would like it, my changes would be extremely unlikely to have the desired effect.
If anyone more knowledgeable could help out here, it seems not only I would be very grateful.

Thing is, as Tony K notes, it is someones own hack so it would take effort to dig around. Someone elses coding structure, possibly including "clever solutions" or even bugs. I suggest that you do actually test things. If I understand you right, you want both ....tag[todo]tag[gardening]... in the/some filter. It seems like a rather neat use case to get to know how TW works.

Or you just create your own project manager. It is not that difficult. To list all tiddlers that are tagged both "todo" and with, say, all projects that are tagged "active", you could do:

<$list filter="[tag[project]tag[active]]" variable=project>
<$list filter="[tag<project>tag[todo]]">

</$list>
</$list>

Dear Tony K and Mat

thanks a lot for your thoughtful replies. After tinkering some (ahem: a lot), I know that I could realise a filter along the lines of what Mat suggested, one for each project. It is not precisely what I was after, so I would like to make this my plan B, the project plugin by Nicolas has many more options, a clean design and is a lot more open to changes in the structure of projects. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into its creation, and that level of refinement would be very hard or impossible for me to achieve. 

I found Nicolas' thread in which he announced the release of his plugin and I will try to highlight that it would be useful to allow subordinate notes under the project's name that are not automatically treated as tasks, which is what I was trying to say in my first post and obviously failed.

Thanks nonetheless, Mat, for teaching me something about filters!

Willy, if you found Nicolas thread you could perhaps try to contact hm by clicking at the very rightmost button in a post of his and choose "Reply privately to the author".

[Willy Tanner]

Hmm, good idea but I am not offered this option in Nicolas' case but I do see it here, i.e. next to your name. Is this an option that needs to be enabled by the author? Anyway, let's hope Nico replies to my post in his own thread. Cheers

So no misunderstanding, this is the feature I'm talking about. This is what I get when clicking for you:

As I said, that's also what I get for you:

but not for Nicolas:
