Task Metabox #5

Open johnciacia opened 12 years ago

johnciacia commented 12 years ago

Task metabox on the project page throws undefined errors. This metabox needs a lot of loving.,

When creating a task how often do you:

  1. Create a task in which the start date is something different than the current day?
  2. Set the complete/progress to something different than 0?

I change the start date pretty often. Because I mark the start date as the date the client pays for their project to get started or the date I promised it would begin. Which is sometimes earlier or later than the date I created it.

I rarely change the progress bar to something different though. Maybe we should introduce "Milestones". Or maybe we measure progress by "Task Lists". So on typical website development project there are four stages:

  1. Interviewing/Braintstorming
  2. Design
  3. Coding
  4. Review & Publication

Each of these could be a task list, then our progress bar says "count the number of task lists, if 3/4 are incomplete, reflect 25% completion in the progress bar". Eventually we could add an alternative option for setting that manually though. Or maybe a dual option where it's auto set AND they can drag the bar?

I'm still leaving this open for discussion. I would like to keep the fields in this metabox to a minimum (to keep the UI free of unnecessary clutter).

Cool.
