Use of hasStarredProject
Hello, I recently tried to include in one of my custom views the use of the 'hasStarredProject' tiddler method introduced in March. However, the mgtdList macro does not return me any action, whereas there are some items matching what it is supposed to display: <> Digging a little bit in the indexing code, I discovered that I had at least to add 'Starred' in the list of tags to be indexed, in the MgtdConf tiddler. But it does not seem to be the only thing to do, since I still do not get any returned tiddler. Any idea about what I am missing here? Thanks a lot for your suggestions :) Kind regards, Frederic --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GTD TiddlyWiki" group.

Re: Done Action bug?
Hello, You're right, there is a problem here; however, modifying the javascript code is not the right way to go to fix this :) When you open a contact, what you see is formatted according to a template. The template itself can be modified directly within MonkeyGTD. 1. In the right column, select the 'More...' tab, then below the 'TW' tab, and then further below the 'All' tab. 2. You will then see in the column a list of all existing entries (tiddlers) in your MonkeyGTD system. Scroll down until you find the one named 'TagDashboards', and click on it. 3. In the main section, you will now have a very large tiddler, containing some HTML/TiddlyWiki code. This code is defining what is shown when opening several kinds of items: actions, contexts, projects, ... Double click on the code to start editing, and scroll your way in the code until you find this part: !Contact 4. This is the beginning of the section of the contact template. 30 lines or so below these 3 ones, you will find this block: This defines the 'Done Actions' section you see when opening a Contact. The first 2 lines define what is actually displayed in this section, the 3rd one define what to do when pressing the '+' button. In this case, a new tiddler would be created with a tag 'Done' and another tag to associate it with the contact. What is missing is adding another tag to indicate that this is an action... Which is done this way: 5. Save the tiddler, close all your open contacts, and then open then again: it should work as you expect from now on. Hope this helps!

Re: How to make weeks start on Monday?
Hello, I had myself a look at it, and it does not seem to be a TW setting, it is hardcoded in the DatePicker plugin. I did make a patched version to change the 1st day of week, but I have not tested it thoroughly. Let me know if you are interested.

Re: Chrome saving problem
Hello,
Local save using the TiddlySaver applet does work for me here, with
Java 1.6.0_16-b01 and Chrome 3.0.195.27.
A few things that you may check:
1. When you open your TiddlyWiki file, if you press shift-escape, you
should see Chrome's task manager. Is there a line reading "Plug-in:
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U16"? If not, it seems that Chrome was not able
to load a Java VM in a plugin. Reinstalling Chrome might solve this.
2. Assuming that you work under MS Windows, when you open your
TiddlyWiki file, do you have a small "Java" icon in your system tray?
If so, try right-clicking it, then pick the "open console" option. You
will get a small text windows were Java will trace errors. Try saving
your TiddlyWiki in Chrome. Is there an error message ("exception", in
Java-lingo) shown in the console windows? If so, it might give
precious info on what is going on. That's how I realized that I could
not save because my TiddlyWiki file was in a directory with "special"
characters in its path ('e' with acute accent... not that "special"
actually in Europe...)
I hope this will allow you to get a rough idea of what is going on.
Best regards,
Frederic

Re: mGTD: List all done actions which are not in a project
Hello, I assume you are using MonkeyGTD? I believe that there are some standard dashboards showing what you need (like 'Action Dashboard by Project', in the 'Done actions' section), but you can also create a simple tiddler with the following code: <> Best regards, Frederic On 19 oct, 16:29, Damian wrote: > Hello all, > > I made the mistake the other day of deleting lots of projects by just > deleting their tiddler rather than clicking the delete project button. > > Is there any way to list all of done actions which are not in a > project?

Re: GTD process question: Daily todo lists
Hello, At some point in the past, I realized that 95% of my next actions were attached to the context '@work'. I did try to split that in several contexts like '@computer:online', '@computer:offline' and '@office' to account for the fact that I sometimes work from office, from home (both with internet access) and sometimes while commuting without internet access. However this was not enough to reduce the amount of next actions in '@computer:online' (still in the 85% range). Therefore I decided to experiment the multiple-context capabilities of mGTD, and to throw in a few more contexts which are not location based, in parallel of the ones listed above. I tried using for example a '@criticalPath' for actions which will delay other people's work if I do not respect my deadlines, a '@today' (that I daily updated) to mark items I wanted to do during the day (thus making a daily to-do list...), etc... In the end, what I did was having two sets of contexts, one for 'priorities' and the other one for 'physical location', and I used the intersection of the two to reduce the number of actions I have to choose from each day. I also tried when applicable to reduce the number of next actions per project to 1, only keeping as active the one with the highest 'priority', and moving the others to 'future', even if it was possible to do them immediately. I do not know if such ideas will be compatible with your environment, but what is great is that both GTD and MonkeyGTD give you a very broad capacity to experiment :) Best regards, Frederic On 28 nov, 03:21, John Holden wrote: > You can think about using/referring to the 'Completed Projects' and > 'Done Actions' lists/ticklers to track what you have done for your > boss.

Re: GTD process question: Daily todo lists
What I did try was, as much as possible, flagging as 'next action' only the most urgent or critical action in each project (or maybe 2...), hence considerably reducing the size of my '@work' list. Basically, I just filtered in advance by urgency project by project, rather that doing it on the fly while parsing the whole list of next actions. This strategy did reduce the amount of anxiety in front of my '@work' list: I no longer had the feeling I had to make the right choice of which next action to pick up and execute, out of the 50 I had in the context... If you consider GTD as a methodology for reducing stress, it is interesting to give it a try. -- Frederic On 2 déc, 15:30, Jeff wrote: > On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 4:03 AM, Frederic Aguiard > > wrote: > > I also tried when applicable to reduce the number of next actions per > > project to 1, only keeping as active the one with the highest > > 'priority', and moving the others to 'future', even if it was possible > > to do them immediately. > > I find this intriguing.
