TaskFreak! v0.6.2 – Alter Search Plugin

Posted on by

Background Knowledge

The Search Plugin for TaskFreak! created by DaDaemon and xdu v0.0.1 (March 26, 2007) was designed to create a simple, quick search capability of the tasks title and description. As well it only searched through he current task view (tasks visible at the time) and tasks that are not completed. For some this was not what was desired and would rather have the Search Plugin search through all tasks weather completed or not and as well search through the comments of tasks along with the title and description. I’ll show you how this is done using Searcher, bchristie and davidlmansfield instructions posted on the TaskFreak! Forums.

TaskFreak! v0.6.2 – Add Unique Ticket/Task Number

Posted on by
1

Background Knowledge

TaskFreak! does not show within the interface a unique ticket/task number. Depending on the use of TaskFreak! having such a value can have it’s benefits. Since this unique value does already exist in the back end, it will be fairly trivial to render this value within the task list and task details panel. I will show you how this is done using Searcher’s solution posted in the TaskFreak! Forum. There has been some modifications but not much.

Solution

  1. Edit index.php in the root of TaskFreak!. Add the table header column just below line # 248 as follows. 
    2

    <th width="3%" onclick="freak_sort('itemId')" class="sortable" >< ?php echo $langForm['id']; ?></th>
  2. Next add the table data just below line # 302 as follows. 
    2

    <td style="text-align:right;">< ?php echo $objItem->id; ?>&nbsp;</td>
  3. Edit /include/html/xajax_panel_view.php just below line # 5 just before the priority column as follows. 
    6

    <div id="fid">
        	<div class="flabel">< ?php echo $GLOBALS['langForm']['id']; ?></div>
        	<div class="vid">< ?php echo $objTask->id; ?></div>
        < /div>
</div>
  4. Edit /include/language/en/freak.php just below line # 46 as follows.

    Note: Each interface language file will be required to be edited if you desire to use them. If you do not do so, you will receive error messages and it may cripple TaskFreak!

    'id' => 'ID',
  5. Edit applicable skins’ CSS in this example /skins/redfreak/css/freak.css just below line # 550.

{
	float: left;
	width: 80px;
	height:32px;
	margin-left: 3px;
	font-weight: bold;
}
  6. Edit applicable skins’ CSS in this example /skins/redfreak/css/freak.css ID #fpro and remove “margin-left: 3px;”.

Visio Drawing – Server Rack

Posted on by

Background Knowledge

I was given an assignment to virtual layout our entire network server rack and equipment within the serve room. As well I had to make note of where each end of each network cable ended up at with the exception of cables going to the patch box.

I used Microsoft Visio to create the drawing. In many cases I ended up having to create my own stencils from images. Not exactly perfect but it did the job. In those case where I made my own stencil I just use Adobe Photoshop to touch up some free photos of a particular product and then inserted the image into my Visio drawing.

Mary Had a Little Lamb – Lord’s Prayer

Posted on by

This is a powerful poem and one I felt that should be shared.

I tried to track down the author of this poem but I was unable to determine who the author was. However there is some claim a little girl wrote this poem. If anyone can prove the author or further history please contact me.

Source: Mary had a little lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school each day,
T’wasn’t even in the rule.
It made the children laugh and play,
To have a Lamb at school.

And then the rules all changed one day,
Illegal it became;
To bring the Lamb of God to school,
Or even speak His Name!

Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gun shots and tears.

What must we do to stop the crime,
That’s in our schools today?
Let’s let the Lamb come back to school,
And teach our kids to pray!
