GettingThingsDone
Getting Things Done is a personal information management system described by '''David Allen''' in his books "Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity" and "Ready for Anything: 52 Productivity Principles for Work and Life". Some of the main points are to remain flexible and to keep things simple. In these two issues WikidPad can help you.
- Flexibility with WikiWord automatic linking
- Simplicity with free-format text entry
Just so that no-one else wastes an hour or two trying to get these scripts working with 1.6beta - work is needed especially with the interface to the editor to make it work properly with 1.6beta.
- Create '''user_extensions''' directory under your WikidPad directory
- Copy there "WikidPadHooks.py" and "WikiSyntax.py" from '''extensions''' directory
- Never edit original files in '''extensions''', only copies in '''user_extensions''' directory
- Create '''NextActions''' and '''WaitingFor''' pages in your wiki
- Edit '''WikiSyntax.py''' file: add '''wait''' into ToDoRE, ToDoREWithContent and ToDoREWithCapturing lists
- Edit '''WikidPadHooks.py''' file: add following script into '''openedWikiWord''' function
- '''CLOSE AND RESTART''' WikidPad to activate the changes

Make sure your python code indentation is correct
Thanks Eric! I've edited the above function to organize by context instead of by project name. If you were to enter an entry as "todo.work", it will now show up under a header entry of "@work". Forgive the code, I'm new to python. (Although -- now that I've played with it -- I do see the appeal!)

editor.AddText("\n") I just do not know where to put "wait" in the python file exactly. Wikipad is giving a syntax error.
I'm new to WikidPad and Python too, but I think it should be added like here:
ToDoREWithContent = re.compile .... ... (?:todo|done|wait|action|track|issue|question|project|wait)(?:\.[^:\s]+)?)"
A small fix: No need to add 'wait' twice (Reinhard Engel):
ToDoREWithContent = re.compile .... ... (?:todo|done|wait|action|track|issue|question|project)(?:\.[^:\s]+)?)"
I had to add
import pwiki.srePersistent as re
in the begining of WikidPadHooks.py

I based mine to get categories on SortedTodos. Breaks up by tags, which is what I wanted. ''Notes'':
- For dumb people like me, make sure you put it in __openedWikiWord__ and not ''openWikiWord''. Big Difference ;)
- This is compatible with 1.7a.
- In your main page, enter a link of ![Todo] to activate Code:
#!python
def openedWikiWord(wikidPad, wikiWord):
"""
Called when a new or existing wiki word was opened successfully.
wikiWord -- name of the wiki word to create
"""
if wikiWord.upper().startswith("TODO"):
# tags contains the (Tag, TagHeader) pairs - customize the list of sort categories here:
# TagHeaders are the descriptive headings that will be shown for each category.
tags = [('High','Tagged HIGH !'),
('_spec.SPACER',''),
('Next','Next Actions'),
('ThisWeek','Tagged for This Week'),
('_spec.SPACER',''),
('SomeDay','SomeDay / Maybe'),
('_spec.SPACER',''),
('TimeToTime','Tagged for from time to time'),
('_spec.SPACER',''),
('Low','Tagged as LOW'),
('_spec.SPACER',''),
('VeryLow','Tagged as Very LOW')]
# MikeCrowe -- Untagged always at end of list
tagEnd = [
('_spec.SPACER',''),

# get all todos with 'todo' in them to seperate list to be used here:

for todo in todos:

todos[todos.index(todo)] = ('DEL','DEL') #marks that todo to be ignored
tagAdded = TrueI learned quickly using the above script, that since the page is dynamically created every time you open it, any icon assigned to distinguish it disappears.
I added the following line to the end of the above script:
editor.AddText('[icon: eye]')This adds my preferred icon back into the tree view to assist me in distinguishing it. (It's simple, but it took me longer than it should have to figure out where to locate it, not knowing Python.)
As far as I see the following snippet of the code above:
#!python
if not foundTag and todo[0] != 'DEL':
if not wroteHeader:
editor.AddText('\n++ ' + tag[1] + ' :\n')
wroteHeader = True
s = str(todo[1])
editor.AddText(' * '+ str(todo[0]) + ': '+ s[s.find(':')+1:] + '\n')
todos[todos.index(todo)] = ('DEL','DEL') #marks that todo to be ignored
tagAdded = Trueshould read like this (fixed indention for 2 lines):
#!python
if not foundTag and todo[0] != 'DEL':
if not wroteHeader:
editor.AddText('\n++ ' + tag[1] + ' :\n')
wroteHeader = True
s = str(todo[1])
editor.AddText(' * '+ str(todo[0]) + ': '+ s[s.find(':')+1:] + '\n')
todos[todos.index(todo)] = ('DEL','DEL') #marks that todo to be ignored
tagAdded = Trueto list all untagged todos and not only the first one.
Add color to different tags. for example if you define:
#!python
tags = [
('Tickler','Things to Remember','#0000ff'),
('_spec.SPACER',''),
('Active','Active - On Work Now','#ff00ff'),
('_spec.SPACER',''),
('Next','Next Actions','#ff0000'),
('_spec.SPACER',''),
('Highest','HIGHEST Priority!!!','#cc0000'),
('_spec.SPACER','',''),
('High','HIGH Priority!','#800000'),
('_spec.SPACER','',''),
('ThisWeek','Tasks for This Week','#808000'),
('_spec.SPACER','',''),
('Later','To be done Later','#008080'),
('_spec.SPACER','',''),
('TimeToTime','To be Done from time to time',''),
('_spec.SPACER','',''),
('Low','LOW Priority',''),
('_spec.SPACER','',''),
('VeryLow','Lowest Priority',''),
('_spec.SPACER','',''),
('SomeDay','SomeDay / Maybe','')
]you can change Mike's code as follows:
#!python
elif tag[0] != '_spec.NOTAGS':
addedColor=0
for todo in todos:
if tag[0] in todo[1]:
if not wroteHeader:
if len(tag)>2 and tag[2] != '':
addedColor=1
editor.AddText("\n<font color="+tag[2]+">\n")
editor.AddText('\n++ ' + tag[1] + ' :\n')
wroteHeader = True
s = str(todo[1])
s1=s[:s.find(':')]
s1=re.sub(r'(todo|Active|Highest|High|Next|ThisWeek|Later|SomeDay|TimeToTime|Low|VeryLow|Tickler).','',s1)
editor.AddText(' * '+ s1+ ' -> [' +str(todo[0]) + ']: ' + s[s.find(':')+1:] + '\n')
todos[todos.index(todo)] = ('DEL','DEL') #marks that todo to be ignored
tagAdded = True
if addedColor:
editor.AddText("\n</font>\n")
addedColor=0and you'll get your different priorities colored...
would somebody put up everything here into downloadable files for dummies to easily download the files instead wrong editing that cause more troubles. tia.
