Hi,

I'm wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to see all the tasks a person or team has assigned to them. So when I click on People, then a name I see a description of that person. There should probably also be a way to see all the tasks assigned to that person and then have options to only view tasks that are not completed, between certain dates, etc...

Also the task table that shows all the tasks related to a project should have another column to show who the task is assigned to. This way it will be very clear who has to do what.

I'm not sure if this exists already but I can't find anything, also couldn't find anything when I searched here.

Thanks. BTW, this is a great plugin.

I think that this extension it's very imprortant...is it possible to implement? Maybe can be a good idea to add a filter fo "assigned_to" person in task and ticket.

Thanks

I agree that this is very important and was one of the reasons I was staying away from Storm. While I think this is possible to implement with views, I wish it was more integrated. For large projects that many people are working on and for a owner company with many clients/organizations/projects, the ability to see ALL projects/tasks/etc/etc at once to know whats going on and filter by status etc would be great.

For individuals looking to implement this, views is the way to go. It can be perfected integrated if you want too - simply write a small (10 line) module using hook_menu_alter to remove the Storm defined path for the page, then reimplement the path in views.

In terms of what we add to the Storm package, I'm not against putting this in but currently am focussing on the port to D7. Even the D6 version will eventually use views, so views really is the way to go.

Agree, but creating the exact view output can be a steep learning experience if you don't work with Views frequently. It would be nice if there was a convenient place where custom Storm Views created by users could be posted (after exporting from Views). Then simply importing the view is all that would be required. Maybe there is such a place already for Storm Views? Perhaps such a view would be too dependent on individual site setups to be very useful to the large Stormuser community?

That'd be this issue queue. Plus, I'm keen to include the most useful ones as default views in the Storm download.

However, views is an almost essential part of building a Drupal site nowadays, so the steep learning experience is well worthwhile.

OK, so I've been practicing with views, but I'm stumped on how to do what I think should be a simple thing. I have three columns displayed in a block.

1st column is a Taxonomy: Term

2nd column is Node: Title

3rd column is Storm: Project Status

It works fine, except what I can't figure out is how to display the proper Storm Icon (such as the "status_on_hold.png" file) in place of the associated text phrase (such as "on hold") for this third column

I attached a .txt file of this exported view. (Also found this relevant item http://drupal.org/node/576054 which began discussion for Storm Views repository) I guess this view is not the one desired as per original post, but perhaps it might help the novice Views user such as myself get better at working with them...

(Revised 1/22/10 12:30p EST to clarify last thought)

For the image to show up instead of the text, we'll need a views handler.

Any volunteers to write one?

It'd ideally hook into the functions in storm.module which find the actual image.

So I had to ask... What is a views handler? ...and searching around I found this... which appears to be the source doco...

"This page explains what views handlers are, how they're written, and what the basic conventions are". --> http://views.doc.logrus.com/views_handlers.html

Magnity’s picture

That's right. A handler basically tells the views module how a field should be displayed, filtered, sorted etc.
