ToDo


This prototype represents a page that will be exported to the Web site.



Missing image in published categories  8/11/03   ::permalink::

The sorted category pages, accessed by the sidebar table of contents, has a missing image. Should be a simple fix. Check out export templates.


Done!

Add OnAdd Actions to Main Sections to Set Prototypes  8/9/03   ::permalink::

Need to use the OnAdd attribute so that I can just drop notes into the outline and have the prototype set automatically as I do with GettingThingsDone.

Now I won't have to remember what prototypes to assign a particular note -- the system works automatically. I just have to remember to write!

This automation also makes it easier to add notes by pasting from other sources (like The Fridgedoor). They are automatically assigned the appropriate prototype as soon as they are added to a particular section.


Done!

Change Priority attribute to Importance  8/9/03   ::permalink::

Priority just doesn't make as much sense as Importance and I like the consistency that is developing with Fridgedoor, protoTyping and GettingThingsDone.


Done!

Sort by Category  8/9/03   ::permalink::

Create aliases of the agents representing the various categories for the sidebar. An application of sidebar agent paths.

  • Revised*

Instead of using Agents for this, I am adding aliases to a table of contents section in the sidebar. That way, I will have pointers to content that is already published.


Done!

Clean up text issues  5/10/03   ::permalink::

Some of the text is looking strange. For instance, A Drag and Drop Sidebar. What's with that?

Too many horizontal lines in the stories too!


Done!

Include multimedia  4/19/03   ::permalink::

I want to be able to include quicktime in the Level 2 pages.


Done!

Add an email link  4/19/03   ::permalink::

I have been having some surprising trouble adding an email link. I want to encode it and I have tried using an export template containing the java script but no success yet.

  • Solved!*

After much fussing, I found that the web version of Enkoder worked while the desktop app version did not! Anyway, now I have the email link in the sidebar.

Want details?


Done! Read More...

Clean up key attributes  4/15/03   ::permalink::

The list of attributes is a bit daunting. Each time I had a new troubleshooting issue, I added a new attribute to the key list. Time to shorten the list so that the important stuff will stand out.


Done!

Sidebar glitch  4/14/03   ::permalink::

Oops. When I put an address for a link to protophoto in the URL of "Adding Pictures to a Blog" something goes haywire in the link to this note in the sidebar. Completed!


Done! Read More...

Add code to present bookmark links in Newly Noted  4/11/03   ::permalink::

I want to have the title of the website as a link after the Newly Noted description.

Same for Books except the link will go to amazon.com.

In both, URL exists. Must distinguish between Read More... where children exists and Check out the Link: where URL and children exist as in the sidebar. Use an if else conditional.


Done!

Copyright info not exporting properly  4/11/03   ::permalink::

Something is wrong with the export of the note Copyright. I'm getting this instead:

^include(Copyright,)::

Check templates and check the note.

  • *Fixed: Althought the main template had the ^include(Copyright), the note itself had no export template specified. Now HTMLExportTemplate = textOnly.html and the Copyright info is properly included at the bottom of the page.

This suggest a solution to my Enkoder email problem. Use an ^include(emailnote) in the sidebar and set emailnote HTMLExportTemplate = emailscrpt.html .

So long as the note is not in another note that overides the export template specification as the sidebar notes do.


Done!

The XML gif not showing up  4/11/03   ::permalink::

The graphic for the RSS feed is not properly visible on the page.


Done!

Add a URL Conditional for protoBookmark  4/9/03   ::permalink::

Need to add a conditional and html code to provide the link for a new Bookmark entry. I will also create an Agent in the sidebar to collect all Bookmark entries.

Changed my mind. Instead of adding a new category etc, I will just put the note containing the description in the sidebar. They don't have to go into the archive. I will do this for protoBooks, protoBookmarks and protoSoftware and whatever else comes up. I'll reserve the date specific notepad for timely material.


Done!

Add Bookmark Category  3/31/03   ::permalink::

Add a Bookmark category to list of prototypes to allow for commentary and highlighting of new links.

Also create protoBook to highlight books of interest.

How about protoSoftware? protoHardware? Ok, ok. Stop already!


Done!

Style issue  3/31/03   ::permalink::

Lost the style for the 2003 page. Need to investigate later. Have to go to sleep now...

Solved: had a single very long line (the Agent query definition for that generates the page) that extended the margins. Broke it up into smaller fragments.


Done!

Add a priority sort to ToDo's  3/31/03   ::permalink::

Should be easy to sort the remaining things to do list in the sidebar according to a Priority Attribute.

Created the new Attribute called Priority (number) with 3 as default (a low priority). Changed protoToDo to include Priority in list of key visible attributes.

Rewrote agents in Category Archive All Agent and added new ToDo List agent to Sidebar -- sorted by Priority.


Done!

Duplicate *protoTyping to create Fridgedoor  3/29/03   ::permalink::

Have to do the duplication and renaming for the Fridgedoor. Maybe after a week of testing.


Done!

Clean up visible attributes  3/29/03   ::permalink::

Need to figure out what "key attributes" does and how to get only selected attributes to show up for specific note types.


Done!

Add comments  3/29/03   ::permalink::

I would like to add comments to *protoTyping. It looks like there are a number of different ways to do this. Explore further.

I liked the looks of enetation as it was presented on Hit Those Keys. I think I will set it up this weekend if possible.


Done!

Add links to Toolbox  3/29/03   ::permalink::

Add a few links to Toolbox in sidebar.

  • * Change sorting of index to Modified (reverse). I would like to be able to elaborate or satisfy an old note and have it refreshed at the Top of the blog index. Will this work?

Puzzled! Playing with the sort of All items. Can't seem to sort on Modified. Perhaps upon reopening the document?

Yes! That's the ticket. Close, then reopen and All items gets sorted on Modified date. Newly Noted (the index) picks off the first 40 (#first(All items, 40)),

Curious! Newly Noted doesn't just pick off the first 40 and keep the sort. Have to sort Newly Noted as well. Used Modified (reverse) and id(reverse) to get the right sort as before.


Done!

Set up -complete- test in sidebar  3/27/03   ::permalink::

Show in a sidebar list until complete.

Agent test for complete = true and *protoIdea

Added Done! attribute and used it in export template and for sidebar agent.


Done!

Add category graphics  3/27/03   ::permalink::

Finish editing and add to export template.


Done!
