So far, there are three modes. Categories, tags, and assignment. You can drag topics between lists to change the corresponding attributes:
Lists are ālazy-loadedā, so performance is reasonable, even for very large numbers of categories. You can enter fullscreen mode for even more space to organise your projects:
The default board mode will be automatically determined using these criteria:
If this is the top level, use categories mode
If this is a category, and there are sub-categories, use categories mode
Otherwise, use tags mode. (Lists built from ātop tagsā list)
You can change the board mode using the filter button on the left, and configuration changes will be reflected in the URL. Users can bookmark their favorite configuration in their browser. Administrators can customize the defaults per-category in the theme settings.
@david one of our team made those changes you suggested to the Tag mod that @artysidorenko made. Would you like to check it out?
@david are those changes enough to merge our code into your plugin?
or are there further changes needed? i hope we can get it resolved before the next codebase update puts our addition behind and requiring more work again.
Hi @ninjapenguin, thanks for the PR - I put a response on there. Unfortunately it still needs some changes before we can merge it. In particular, the issue around multiple AJAX requests needs to be resolved, otherwise clients will be rate-limited.
None of the options display categories, default modes and default view are working for me.
Iāve seen replies like this on the thread and tried to replicate, but itās just not working
Sure! I have a number of categories that follow this settings format:
display categories: category_slug
default modes: category_slug:tags:to-do,doing,done
The other thing that I think I want, and I usually hate stuff like this, is to have another set of tags that can be used to set the color. I have today in a column but want to have colors for different types of jobs. How hard is it to add a div for tags?
There is this version which makes the kanban boards work with tags, and adds a āboardā tab to tag pages. It contained an error which sent too many requests, and so was never merged into the main plugin.
Unfortunately the developer who made the update dropped out and so the bug was never resolved, although itās been running fine on our site until the latest Discourse update. Youād be very welcome to use it if that would resolve your issue. @david commented on what needed done here, before it becomes a part of his main Kanban plugin code
Great work, @david. We have one use case where it would be helpful if the topics in each column were sorted by date created, rather than date of last reply. Is this possible? If itās not a simple thing, I can go to #marketplace, but any clues would be appreciated.
Is it possible to set this to only show specified tags site-wide?
I can set the options i need on some categories individually, but i want it to display only 4 tags for all categories and subcategories across the whole site (backlog, sprint, doing, done)
Iāve stumbled on the same issue : After setting a categorie to the kanban view, switching to another categorie that is not supposed to have the ability to show kanban board, actually does.
My configuration is set as to being allowed on tags and on two categories only.
Just as you mentionned though : reloading the discourse start page resets everything back to normal.
Iām on current tests-pass and version 1.0 of the component.
How do I set kanban as the default category view? Using tags mode. Board shows up as a selectable option in the menu, but Iād like to assign it as the default view for the category. Iāve tried customizing the component settings, but it just wonāt display as default category view.
How can users of a kanban board ādeleteā a topic which is on the kanban board? They normally get a message, that deleting is not possible and they should contact moderator.
After moving a topic to the last column (= done), are these topics ācleaned-upā automatically or how can this be achieved?
Is there any way to set this to only show tags from one tag-group sitewide?
I have it on tags mode and only want it to create a list for some tags across the site and not others. Users will be able to use tags like normal and the only ones which will create a column in the tags board are the tag-group āmanufacturersā.
For example,
On my site the Kanban component is set to only create Kanban columns on all boards for the tag-group āmanufacturersā.
If a user creates a thread and enters these tags: Honda, Convertible, Frank, Paris. The only tag which would create its own list in the board is āHondaā.
I get the impression this is already possible using the params in ādefault modeā setting, but i tried for hours and cant work it out.
