Tasks

[drumbo]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I get a task filter to display all current and overdue tasks.

the command (from srs's latest skin) I am using is
dateformat,date3,0,0,0,
taskfilter,3,360,[overdue],

what I would like to see is
1.  the date in dd/mm format (currently it is mm/dd)
2.  as above - all my current tasks (not just overdue).

Thanks

to change date format go in config.txt
at the end of the file you have the code used for the agenda/task...
the first line is :
taskfilter,0,90,[overdue],

To change date format just replace the string (MM/dd) with (dd/MM)

Amery,

Thanks for your response, however I am using filter set 3
(dateformat,date3,0,0,0,
taskfilter,3,360,[overdue],
)

which doesn't have the string (MM/dd) in it - I did change this for the agenda, but not for a tasks only screen (button 3 in srs's poom). The [overdue] filters out all tasks except for those that are overdue, I don't want this - I want all non-completed tasks to be displayed.

Cheers

edit:

Also, if anyone knows (saw the comment in the skin reference, but I could not get it to work), with srs's skin, if there are no events for today, then the poom displays the next day with an event. I would like it to display today, with the text, Nothing Further.

Any suggestions?

Code Select Expand

taskfilter,3,360,[overdue],

should display all tasks.  all the [overdue] does is include tasks that are overdue.  If it weren't there than overdue tasks would not be displayed.  Is this not he behaviour you've observed ?  also make sure that there are no trailing spaces and the end.

To change the date format (this section actually uses a blank date, but displays the due date on the task),  open up the config and locate the task format, and it will say (MM/dd).  You can change it to (dd/MM).

I have the same problem, and I found out, that TP only display tasks that have a duedate. No matter if they are overdue or not, but they have to have a date to be displayed!!!

Why is that ???

Thanks srs

can't believe how exceptional this app has become. (from v0.8 to 0.9.8 - the changes are astounding - Thanks).

The task thing did not work - I have a couple of tasks with no end date (and no start date) - they just exist! These are the ones I would like to be displayed (or at least an option to turn them on or off)
In your poom section, section 0 has tasks and agenda - here I would like only overdue items, however in section 3 (tasks) I would like all incomplete tasks to be displayed - is this possible.
I also cannot find in the config file a task format. I have tried with the skin reference, but I cannot get it to work.

Also is there a way to display today (with no appointments) with the text "Nothing Further" rather than having the day invisble (end up going for tomorrows meetings today!)

Also on your agenda listings, the app draws a dotted (solid) line under the date (above the actual 1st appointment). I cannot find how to remove this?!

Thanks again!

right now TodayPlus doesn't display tasks with no due date.  I will most likely add an option ([noduedate]) to display tasks with no due date.  Right now there's no way to filter out all task except for those overdue.

Also is there a way to display today (with no appointments) with the text "Nothing Further" rather than having the day invisble (end up going for tomorrows meetings today!)

change the blanktext option so that the first number is not negative.  This will force the display of today with the specified text.

Also on your agenda listings, the app draws a dotted (solid) line under the date (above the actual 1st appointment). I cannot find how to remove this?!

this is the %line..% command in the date format (in the config)

Thanks again srs,

Would it be possible to include nostartdate as well as noduedate? I tend to use tasks as reminders and therefore don't often put in start and end dates.

Also I cannot get the "nothing further" to work. I have added the following into the config
blanktext,blank0,0,12,12,%tab,60%Nothing Further.

and I have put
options,blanktext,blank0

in both region,12,0 and region,13,0 and it won't display.

thanks
