Dashboard Changes I Make Upon Each Code Update

[JKMickelson]

This is a list of code changes I make to make the Dashboard useful for me.  I think others would find these settings useful for User Configuration.  Please advise for the proper way to incorporate these changes on an ongoing basis.

Sort Tasks By Due Date
controllers/DashboardController.class.php

Code: [Select]

117c117
<                       $tasks = ProjectTasks::getProjectTasks(active_project(),null,'ASC',null,null,$tag,$to_company,$to_user,null,true);
---
>                       $tasks = ProjectTasks::getProjectTasks(active_project(),ORDER_BY_DUEDATE,'ASC',null,null,$tag,$to_company,$to_user,null,true);
Sort Tasks By Priority and Due Date
models/project_tasks/ProjectTasks.class.php

Code: [Select]

229c229
<                       $order_by = '`order` ' . $orderdir;
---
>                       $order_by = "priority DESC, due_date ASC ";
Show Two Weeks in Calendar (very helpful on Fridays)
views/dashboard/widget_calendar.php

Code: [Select]

1a2
> $my_weeks=2; //JKM
18c19
<       $endday = $startday + 7;
---
>       $endday = $startday + (7 * $my_weeks);
63c64
<       for ($week_index = 0;$week_index<1; $week_index++) {
---
>       for ($week_index = 0;$week_index<$my_weeks; $week_index++) {
Show Ten Pending Tasks (enough for one day of work and planning)
views/dashboard/widget_pending_tasks.php

Code: [Select]

5a6,7
>
> $shortlist=10;
22c24
<               <tr class="<?php echo $c % 2 == 1? '':'dashAltRow'; echo ' ' . ($c > 5? 'dashSMTC':''); ?>" style="<?php echo $c > 5? 'display:none':'' ?>">
---
>               <tr class="<?php echo $c % 2 == 1? '':'dashAltRow'; echo ' ' . ($c > $shortlist? 'dashSMTC':''); ?>" style="<?php echo $c > $shortlist? 'display:none':'' ?>">
52c54
< <?php if ($c > 5) { ?>
---
> <?php if ($c > $shortlist) { ?>
54c56
<       <a href="#" onclick="og.hideAndShowByClass('dashSMTT', 'dashSMTC', 'dashTablePT'); return false;"><?php echo lang("show more amount", $c -5) ?>...</a>
---
>       <a href="#" onclick="og.hideAndShowByClass('dashSMTT', 'dashSMTC', 'dashTablePT'); return false;"><?php echo lang("show more amount", $c -$shortlist) ?>...</a>

Nice list, thanks for posting that! To make it easier for others to cut & paste, you could also use the code tags (it is the icon with a # on a white page), it does this:

Code: [Select]

10 ? HELLO WORLD
20 GOTO 10
cheers

Useful! Thanks! 

[JKMickelson]

I updated the posting with the code tag.

Thank you for a very nice product.

Hi,

and please use unified (or context) diff.  Use -u or -c option to diff command.

Best regards.

Any update to this?

I'd actually like to be able to sort our tasks based on the latest activity in the file. 

I've changed

Code: [Select]

static function getProjectTasks($project = null, $order = null, $orderdir = 'ASC', $parent_id = null, $milestone_id = null, $tag = null, $assigned_to_company = null, $assigned_to_user = null, $assigned_by_user = null, $pending = false, $priority = "all", $is_template = false, $is_today = false, $is_late = false, $limit = null, $archived = false) {
if ($order == self::ORDER_BY_STARTDATE) {
$order_by = '`start_date` ' . $orderdir;
} else if ($order == self::ORDER_BY_DUEDATE) {
$order_by = '`due_date` ' . $orderdir;
} else {
// default
$order_by = '`order` ' . $orderdir;

} // if
And I have updated it to add this:

Code: [Select]

static function getProjectTasks($project = null, $order = null, $orderdir = 'ASC', $parent_id = null, $milestone_id = null, $tag = null, $assigned_to_company = null, $assigned_to_user = null, $assigned_by_user = null, $pending = false, $priority = "all", $is_template = false, $is_today = false, $is_late = false, $limit = null, $archived = false) {
if ($order == self::ORDER_BY_STARTDATE) {
$order_by = '`start_date` ' . $orderdir;
} else if ($order == self::ORDER_BY_DUEDATE) {
$order_by = '`due_date` ' . $orderdir;
} else if ($order == self::ORDER_BY_ACTIVITY) {
$order_by = '`updated_on` ' . $orderdir;
} else {
// default
$order_by = '`order` ' . $orderdir;

} // if
However... now I need to add ORDER_BY_ACTIVITY into the drop down list for the options.  I'd also like to be able to sort based on which tasks have messages that haven't been read yet.

Any help would be appreciated!
