I'm very happy to announce the release of Cardo 1.0.4

A Task and Project Management Wiki for Getting Stuff Done

 
Cardo comes from a combination of "Card" and "Do". This was the name given to the main north-south roads in ancient Roman cities, used as a guide for easy navigation. It also aptly describes the UI of the tool.

Cardo has many features for task and project management, including:

  • Projects, Teams, and RACI charts
  • Progress & Status Updates
  • Tasks, Delegation Tracking & Reminders
  • Contexts, Areas & Realms
  • Meetings & Agenda Items
  • References & Notes
  • Contacts & Conversations
  • Book Library & Reading Notes
  • Goals (with a very Tony Robbins feel)

They are tightly interlinked to allow extremely complex tracking, presented in very elegant dashboards.


Get Cardo at http://cardo.wiki

Cardo comes in either a standalone "empty" TiddlyWiki file, or you can add Cardo to your existing TiddlyWiki by importing a .json file of plugins.


Thank you to everyone who contributed to the development of Cardo, either through testing and bug reports, feature suggestions, or kind words of encouragement! A special thanks to Jeremy for this fantastic platform we all love hacking on. Keep up the great work.


1.0.4 Changelog:


  •     1.0.4 (7 Jan 2019):
    • Added: Goals - with a very Tony Robbins feel
    • Fixed: IE11 compatibility (issue with guid.js)
    • Fixed: Reminder wording better reflects goals, tasks and projects
    • Fixed: Alignment of Tiddler buttons in Cardo theme
    • Added: Start date (cardo-start) to Projects and Tasks
    • Changed: Moved "Recurring"/"Reminder" checkboxes for cleaner layout
    • Fixed: New Conversation from sidebar was tagged wrong
    • Fixed: New items are set with the Focus currently set in the sidebar (unless Focus is set to "All")
      • (This fixes a number of bugs where items don't appear due to sidebar being un-set, as well as allows new items to have a default so they should never be un-set)

Hi David,

I'm now switching from the beta to the official 1.0 version. But I found several problems by trying it, the first one is, if I want to upgrade from beta to the 1.0, I get the following error:

Blocked plugin (due to incoming 1.0 being older than existing 1.0b7)


My workaround was to make a new empty TiddlyWiki5 with the Cardo version 1.0. But then I found another bug, I saw the function under the Cardo-maintenance tab to export all my cardo tiddlers to a new wiki, but the button doesn't work and also the button behind in the defining tiddler doesn't export my cardo tiddlers. But I found the problem and the workaround. If I change the tiddler $:/plugins/Cardo/Tools/Export Your Cardo Cards to that, that the export command <$macrocall $name="exportButton" exportFilter='[has[cardo-type]][tag[Cardo]]' lingoBase="$:/language/Buttons/ExportTiddlers/"/> is outside of the button area, it works like it should. Therefore the bug should be in the button environment.

I've tested also the sorting of the people which we've discussed the last days, it works exact the way I wanted it to do! Thank you very much!!

Best greetings,
Florian

Hi Florian, thanks for the feedback.

It seems the TW numbering doesn't like my style, but best to uninstall (delete/save/reload) the beta plugin Tiddler first as you described.

I'll fix the export button... good catch.

And glad you like the sorting! I found it very useful as soon as I coded it up, so thank you for suggesting it!

Cheers,
David.

Hi Florian,

What exactly do you mean with "outside the button area"?

This is the code modified according to what I got out of your description:

<$button>
Export all Cardo Cards
</$button>

<$macrocall $name="exportButton" exportFilter='[has[cardo-type]][tag[Cardo]]' lingoBase="$:/language/Buttons/ExportTiddlers/"/>

... but the Export still doesn't work (as in does nothing). Could you please explain in a little more detail, or post your working code?

Thanks, Jörg.

Hi Jörg,

if you click on the button (see pic_1) to export all Cardo Cards, nothing happens. Also If you click on the gray button it's the same.

Then if you do the $macrocall outside of the button area/environment, like you described it, it should look like this in pic_2.

Now you have the button which is totally useless and bellow the macrocall to export the Cardo Cards. Click on the gray Button and it should open this pop-up, where you can select, which export type you want. (see pic_3)

That was the workaround for me, to export the cardo cards.

Greetings,
Florian

Thanks for the explanation! I can see my mistake now. After changing the code I was trying to use the existing button in the sidebar. If I open the tiddler itself and click on the little button symbol, it works as you described. That helps!

With this little trick I can wait until this change makes it to the regular sidebar button.

I think this is a TW bug (Jeremy?)

Florian, your code works in a Tiddler. It even works in the preview-mode while editing a Tiddler...

...but it doesn't work in the Sidebar!

Hi Jörg, Hi David,

no it's not a bug of TW5, it's a double implementation of the export button, it gets implemented one time in the $:/plugins/Cardo/Tools/Export Your Cardo Cards, where I changed it to have a workaround. I thought that the sidebar takes this module to call it in the sidebar, but at the end of the $:/plugins/Cardo/SideBar/Maintenance it gets implemented again. Therefore was my workaround only a solution to export it from that tiddler, but not do change the sidebar.

To solve this, you should transclude the existing tiddler $:/plugins/Cardo/Tools/Export Your Cardo Cards at the end of $:/plugins/Cardo/SideBar/Maintenance with:

{{$:/plugins/Cardo/Tools/Export Your Cardo Cards}}

instead of again the same implementation (and text above):

<$button>
  <$macrocall $name="exportButton" exportFilter='[has[cardo-type]][tag[Cardo]]' lingoBase="$:/language/Buttons/ExportTiddlers/"/>
<br>Export all Cardo Tiddlers
</$button>


I think this should be the best way to implement it, because it's also easier to maintain or change something. I only don't know how to make the button work, that the $macrocall works inside the button environment.

Greetings,
Florian

Florian,

Good catch! Anyway, after applying your suggested change to the sidebar Maintenance tiddler, for me it doesn't behave differently. Clicked in the tiddler it works, clicked in the sidebar it doesn't.

Hi Jörg,

yes I noticed it now, I've tried the same macrocall in an empty tiddlywiki5 and it opens the pop up, therefore I think it's a bug in cardo wiki.

David have you any suggestions?

Hi David,

when I make a project and set my name on the project it shows up on my dashboard as it should be. After setting the realm of the project to a new realm of mine it disappears from my dashboard. When I take a predefined realm it works as its supposed. The same if I make the same realm on the project and person.
Have you any idea whats going on here, can you reproduce it?

Cheers,

Alright I've found a workaround, I need to change the focus to another realm in order to get the dashboard updated, would be nice if this wouldn't be necessary.

Hi Richard,

I had the same issue today, but somehow I managed it by adding a book. I have the wiki on my pc at work and I can write you a workaround tomorrow, but I think it was something by adding a book or so... (The same happens if you create a meeting without adding a project -- let the project tab empty).

A few other things to David:
1) When marking an important task, it shows once as task on the dashboard of the person and a second time a bit higher unto important tasks. This means that the task is twice on the dashboard, I think this is not necessary, or what do you think?

2) Meetings only show up when a date is set. Often I want to predefine meetings in order to see them as tasks and add the date if i get a confirmation of the appointment.

3) I found the feature useful on the old gsd5 wiki to transform a task into a project, because often this is the case. Would it be possible to add this feature to cardo?

I'll work on it tomorrow... have something out by end of week.

Grrr.... Projects was referencing $(personguid)$ instead of $(personGuid)$ in a few places, and Books had a couple of typos as well!!!

Thanks for catching that, guys.

1.0.2 attached, import this using the usual TW import function.

Hi David,

thanks for the update. I added it to my wiki and soon got this on a project:

Have you planed to do this project to github in order others can help you developing it?
Is that normal that you got the same response (to me) like we had on the book library when you create a Meeting without selecting a project?

Oy! What did you do to get that? An existing project? New one?

I see the meeting bug now... As this gets bigger, the test cases get more elusive! ;->

Anyways, fixed & attached... If you want to import these, I would appreciate the help testing!
 
Remember to delete manually applied patches like this by deleting anything [tag[Cardo]] before importing the next formal release.

I don't have the slightest idea about GitHub, so hadn't considered it. I've always done the work directly in TW and just re-packaged with Tinka.

Thanks,
David.

Hi David,

I tested Cardo 1.0.1 on a fresh TW5 installed on Node.js by importing plugins that you list on 

Get Cardo 

manually. 

But when I create a new Project I see this message Today's Reminders <$macrocall $name=newReminderButton type='reminder' newTag='Reminder' newButtonText='I must not forget...' assigneeGuid= projectGuid=e5ec0dcc-4a62-4289-bad8-55451f07e4ff /> in the body of the Project.. 

Also when I apply the Cardo Theme and Palette the look of the MoreActions/Edit/Close bottons are not updated matching the version on http://cardo.wiki 

Again, thank you very much for all your efforts.. Cheers..

Hi David,

yes now it works as its supposed to be, thanks! Just a idea of mine, what do you think to eliminate agendas and use tasks instead? I just have seen that often I make tasks which I have to discuss later in meetings.

Hi David,

I found today a new issue in Cardo, if I set up a new project and I assign myself as project lead, it doesn't display the project in my dashboard. The cause of this is, that if I assign someone as a project lead, he isn't automatically added to the project team. I think this would be a reasonable action, that the project leader gets automatically assigned as project team member.

What do you think?

Greetings,
Florian

Hi David,

Thank you for the Cardo 1.0 Tiddly. I am fairly new to the GTD Tiddly method and am now in the process of importing my mGSD version 3.1.9 beta but find that the import feature does not pull in my activities and projects intact and it appears I literally need to rebuild the projects, contacts, actions, etc. And there are many project views that I appear to be missing after import (e.g. Someday Projects With No Tickler).

I really like your updated UI better and would like to retain the same functions as I had before.

Can you suggest a way to import and retain the same hierarchy/views that I had with the older mGSD?

Thank you again for the update, any help you can provide, and I really am looking forward to fully replacing my mGSD with Cardo.

Glenn

Hi all, thanks for reporting the bugs you've found - and extra thanks for your patience.

I've posted 1.0.3 on the main site ( http://cardo.wiki ) as a fresh download or a JSON file for importing, as usual.

Changelog:

  • 1.0.3 (3 Jul 2017):
    • Added: "Someday/Maybe" projects can now be found in "All Items" Review dashboard
    • Fixed: Some palette tweaks
    • Fixed: Restored specific colours to RACI roles (thought I had that at one point?)
    • Fixed: Meetings and Projects not showing up on dashboards properly
    • Fixed: Person dashboards not filtering projects to show only this person's
    • Reported but not found: Some people are having reminder issues... I couldn't replicate. Seems to work fine for me...

    Please keep reporting any bugs you find, and I should have a bit more time to proactively fix them.


  • Cheers,
    David.

Hi David,

Thanks for your work on Cardo, I find it a spectacular piece of work. Though personally, I work alone and don't need as much functionality as you provide.

I have just upgraded to version 1.0.3, and created some tasks and projects for what I am currently working on. I have found something that works counter-intuitively or perhaps it is a bug.

I created a project and a sub-project, the sub-project has two tasks, an active task and a future task. I was the project lead on the projects and the assigned to in the tasks. All where in the same Arena. When I returned to a refreshed Dashboard the tasks were showing correctly. But there was no sign of the projects. I did not expect this, I expected the projects on which I was project lead to automatically show up on my Dashboard.

I experimented a bit with the buttons next to the Active and OnGoing Projects headings. Create Project seemed inappropriate so I did not try that, Add Project gave me a drop-down with the projects showing. On selection from the drop-down the project appeared. But with nothing lit in the ARCSI buttons. As project lead I would expect the R button to be automatically lit. Accordingly, I clicked the R button and the project disappeared from the Dashboard. Again unexpected behaviour.

Interestingly, when I selected, via the Add Project button, the project, it reappeared with the R button lit.

In order to get to what I would consider the basic standard, I had to add the Project of which I was Project Lead and then set the fact I was Resonsible for it. These in my option should be automatic.

       SIncerely R A Evans

I really like what you did here. I loaded the json file into a node.js tiddlywiki and it is working great. The one caveat is that I don't have the little icons that appear in Cardo for Close All Tiddlers, Save change, More Actions, etc, at the top of the Nav bar. Any idea how I might change mine from the original to yours?

Hi Koertis, sorry I think I missed this post...

Traditionally, a RACI chart tracks peoples role in a project, with the following abbreviations:

R - responsible, this person should get the thing done
A - accountable, makes sure it gets done
C - consulting, need their input while getting it done
I - informed, let them know what's going on, when it's done, etc.

I've added two more that I've always found useful:

S - supporting, they help get it done but aren't the responsible or accountable party
T - third-party, they're somehow involved, no fixed definition.

So really, it's just to keep track of how RACIST everyone is. ;-P

David,

Just love Cardo, great for GTD tool. I know this is not strictly GTD and more related to project management, but any basic advice on how to add start dates to projects and tasks? I would really like to do this and add the timeline plugin to give me some visuals on task and project progress.

Well, managed to add a Start Date field (cardo-start) to the Project and Task tiddlers, even managed to get emkay's timeline plugin working. However trying to use it with any cardo tiddlers e.g. task, project or even person and it throws a javascript error (ypeError: this.setupRules is not a function). If I remove the icon field from the respective cardo tiddlers, the timeline plugin works fine.

Help anyone?

Should have qualified the last statement with some detail on how I was initially testing the timeline plugin. So I created a test tiddler and included the following code:

<$visjstimeline filter="[tag[Project]]" startDateField="created" endDateField="created" />

This should produce a simple timeline showing each Project tiddler's creation date. Does not work out of the box, but if I remove all of the icon fields from the Project tiddlers tadah! it works.

any ideas

Hello David,

Thanks for the crazy work. I discover GTD recently, and Cardo seems to be a great alternative.

However, I have questions :

- I choose NoteSelf as TW base for his couchDB capabilities. But after installing all the Cardo plugins, the create/modify template isn't the right one. Can you give tips or solution please ?

- If I have a Cardo file with content, can I export the content and import in a new one?

- Your last release is severals mouth old, is-there a new one on the way?

- after trying an upgrade of core to 1.16, i've an error with "recent" display : "TypeError: this.cache is undefined". Is-it a known problem?

Cheers

Cyril

Hello David, Cyril,
David first of all thanks allot for your nice piece of work! just like Cyril I just discovered GTD and actually also chose Noteself as a base but additionally I've chosen to serve the wiki using the nodejs solution.  
Work quite good!
Anyways, I noticed that the timestamp of tiddlers are way off. "Updated by 2nd October 2016 at 5:29am (Created by 2nd October 2016 at 5:29am)" ist the timestamp of a just newly created tiddler. 
Looking into it further I tried a fresh Cardo.html downloaded from cardo.wiki and the same issue occurs, where an fresh empty.html from tiddlywiki.com gives the correct timestamp.
Do you know where I could modify the time source used inside Cardo?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Geert

Hi David,

Thank you for the great work on Cardo.

I have a question regarding your implementation of Cardo. I like to tag my Contacts, however, editing tags is not possible in many of your templates, including persons.
How did you hide the "EditTemplate/tags" from certain types? I spend some time but couldn't find a way to enable tagging for persons again. 

Also:  Is there any active developments or users of TW5 / Cardo / GSD5? It seems very quiet here.

Kind regards
Steffen

Hi,

I figured something out myself. Is there any documentation on Cardo or anywhere to contribute (github?).

I figured out at least how to activate tagging for all cardo types (cards) again. I think I will be able to activate it for persons only, however if someone is interested how it worked, see below:
 
The general EditTemplate ($:/core/ui/EditTemplate) transcludes any tiddler that has the following tag: $:/tags/EditTemplate
The Cardo EditTemplate ($:/plugins/Cardo/ui/EditTemplate) transcludes any tiddler that has the following tag: $:/plugins/Cardo/tags/EditTemplate
Therefore, none of the default EditTemplates from the core are used in Cardo. (i.e. $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags)

Cardo does not provide a $:/plugins/Cardo/ui/EditTemplate/tags, and the default $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags is not transcluded in Cardo.
Therefore there is no tag editing in the cardo types.

In order not to make changes to the core. I cloned $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags as  $:/plugins/Cardo/ui/EditTemplate/tags and added the tag $:/plugins/Cardo/tags/EditTemplate.
Now I have tags on every Cardo type.

Kind Regards
Steffen

Hi Derry, happy new year.

Here's a pre-release update with Start Date on Tasks and Projects (as well as a couple of bug fixes).

I haven't seen much in the way of bug reports, new feature requests, or other feedback in the last year or so... so I added this just now, and will leave it here for the moment.

Cheers,
David.

Running 1.0.4:

I created a Person, created an upcoming meeting, and added the Person as an attendee on the Meeting.  However, if I open the Person I do not see the Meeting listed under Upcoming Meetings.  Same for Held meetings.

Is this a bug or not yet implemented?

Hello

I've been using Cardo for a couple of days and it looks good. I've used to use mGSD and now exploring an equivalent for TW5.

Have you considered to share the code in github so that the community can track bugs and possible send pull requests ?

Thanks

Hi!

I hope this is the right place. First of all, thank you for your work. Cardo is great.
But unfortunately I have some kind of bug. Everytime I try to create a new realm or area and apply them to a task, it will not shown on the 'project' tiddler. 
For example I have a project calls "exhibition catalogue" and there I create a new task from the GTD-Next Task button. I call my task "print catalogue". As long as I assign the "work" realm to the tast everything is working fine (same with the other default realms or areas).
I'm using Cardo only at my work place in the museum, so I wanted to create a realm for every exhibition (e.g. A realm named "Picasso" another named "Degas"). Now when I change the realm of my "print catalogue" task to Picasso, it disappears in the GTD area of the "exhibition catalogue" project. If I put it in the "work" realm again, it appears.
I tried to clone one of the default realm/area tiddlers but that didn't help. Also renaming the existing realms is not working. 

I'm using vivaldi 2.6 web browser and the save tiddlers chromium app

Thanks in advance!

Great plugin.

But I think I found a bug.

Can be reproduced by going to:
1. Http://cardo.wiki
2. Open review tab and select “My Dashboard”
3. Add “A big project I’m working on” to “Active Projects”
4. Now press any of the A-R-C-S-I buttons on the project that showed up.
5. The project disappears from the list.
6. Now open the project that disappeared (it will take a while) and it will have A LOT of Project Team members that start with $:

Hope you can help.

I'm very happy to announce the release of Cardo 1.0.4

A Task and Project Management Wiki for Getting Stuff Done

 
Cardo comes from a combination of "Card" and "Do". This was the name given to the main north-south roads in ancient Roman cities, used as a guide for easy navigation. It also aptly describes the UI of the tool.

Cardo has many features for task and project management, including:

  • Projects, Teams, and RACI charts
  • Progress & Status Updates
  • Tasks, Delegation Tracking & Reminders
  • Contexts, Areas & Realms
  • Meetings & Agenda Items
  • References & Notes
  • Contacts & Conversations
  • Book Library & Reading Notes
  • Goals (with a very Tony Robbins feel)

They are tightly interlinked to allow extremely complex tracking, presented in very elegant dashboards.


Get Cardo at http://cardo.wiki

Cardo comes in either a standalone "empty" TiddlyWiki file, or you can add Cardo to your existing TiddlyWiki by importing a .json file of plugins.


Thank you to everyone who contributed to the development of Cardo, either through testing and bug reports, feature suggestions, or kind words of encouragement! A special thanks to Jeremy for this fantastic platform we all love hacking on. Keep up the great work.


1.0.4 Changelog:


  •     1.0.4 (7 Jan 2019):
    • Added: Goals - with a very Tony Robbins feel
    • Fixed: IE11 compatibility (issue with guid.js)
    • Fixed: Reminder wording better reflects goals, tasks and projects
    • Fixed: Alignment of Tiddler buttons in Cardo theme
    • Added: Start date (cardo-start) to Projects and Tasks
    • Changed: Moved "Recurring"/"Reminder" checkboxes for cleaner layout
    • Fixed: New Conversation from sidebar was tagged wrong
    • Fixed: New items are set with the Focus currently set in the sidebar (unless Focus is set to "All")
      • (This fixes a number of bugs where items don't appear due to sidebar being un-set, as well as allows new items to have a default so they should never be un-set)

I struggled for a while trying to get a copy of v1.0.4 before finding out my manager has a fresh copy. Enjoy!

Also, I was able to access v1.0.3 using the Wayback Machine. Go to archive.org, look at old snapshots of cardo.wiki, and use Save Changes to get a copy.

Thanks so much for this, anon.

I've got 1.0.4 up and running, and am about to start moving everything over from Zenkit.

Is Cardo still being developed and supported? It appears the web site is no longer up. I can't get to https://cardo.wiki and http://cardo.wiki appears to have been hijacked. I was going to take Cardo for a test drive, but I can't get a copy.
