Ability to add card with an arbitrary link

[Marcin Zajączkowski]

Hi,


Maybe I've missed something obvious, but is it possible to add a card
with some completely arbitrary link?
In a demo I've seen cards with link to JIRA issue, but I wasn't able
to add link to already existing card or add a new card with some fancy
link as a title.


Regards
Marcin

Adding a link to already existing card is not possible right now.
It's a shame but we didn't include this quite basic feature.

When it comes to adding cards with arbitrary links, you can simply
paste a link into 'Add cards' field (with http:// and stuff) and it
will create a card for this link. You will be able to edit it's
description later, but the 'Issue' name will be generated from the
link.

If you want to add cards from issues from JIRA you need to have your
JIRA configured in config/taskboard.yml file.
Taskboard will then recognize JIRA links pasted into 'Add cards' field
and treat them nicely (adding singe issues or every issue from
filter).

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Bartek

I hope it is scheduled on some further version.

Hmm, I wasn't able to do that with demo, but I've just rechecked it and
a problem is that URL like:
http://taskboard.cognifide.com/
(with slash at the end) isn't properly resolved
(http://taskboard.cognifide.com works fine).

Btw, it would be nice to be able to edit already existing in a card URL.

Nice feature. I have to check how easy/hard would be an addition of
something similar for Bugzilla (but for now it will be probably enough
for me to add clickable URLs by hand).

Yes. Thanks!

No one really needed it before :P
But it would be nice to have, so I'll added it as feature request on GitHub:

We got a bug here!
Thanks for finding this one :)

Yes, I've described it together with editing URLs in:
http://github.com/CognifideLabs/taskboard/issues/#issue/64

You can check how it is done for JIRA in lib/jira_integration.rb and
lib/jira_parser.rb.
And of course it's checked in add_card method of TaskboardController.
We didn't created any API for this kind of 'plugins', so it simply
needs to be added in the code at this point.


Thanks for your feedback.
Hope you will find Taskboard useful!

Cheers,
Bartek

P.S.
It always seems a bit awkward for me when I use English to communicate
with Polish people ;)
But it's all for the community :)
