TaskFreak! v0.6.2 – Alter Search Plugin

Adam — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:27:02 +0000

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.

Solution – Add the Ability to Search All Tasks

Edit the “index.php” located in the root of TaskFreak! as follows. We will be working in the “Load Tasks” section to just above the “Task Order” section. This solution was posted by Searcher at Re: Quick ‘n’ Dirty Search Plugin.

Code Before

$arrFilters = array();
 
// --- filter: project ---
if ($pProject) {
    // load tasks for specific project
	$sqlFilter = 'ii.projectId = \''.$pProject.'\'';

} else if (!$objUser->checkLevel(6)) {
    // user can only access his own projects
    if ($objUserProjectList->rMore()) {

        if ($objUser->checkLevel(13)) {

        }

Solution – Add Ability to Also Search within Task Comments

Edit the “index.php” located in the root of TaskFreak! as follows. We will be working in just below the heading section of the “Load Tasks”. This solution was posted by davidlmansfield at [PATCH] [Search Plugin] include tasks matching in comment fields.

Code Before

// search filter
$pSearch = ($_REQUEST['search']);
if ($pSearch) {
	$sqlFilter = '(ii.title LIKE \'%'.$pSearch.'%\' OR ii.description LIKE \'%'.$pSearch.'%\')';
	$objItemList->addWhere($sqlFilter);
}

Code After

// search filter
$pSearch = ($_REQUEST['search']);
if ($pSearch) {
	$sqlFilter = '(ii.title LIKE \'%'.$pSearch.'%\' OR ii.description LIKE \'%'.$pSearch.'%\' OR ii.itemId in (select itemId from '.$objItemList->gTable('itemComment').' where body LIKE \'%'.$pSearch.'%\'))';
	$objItemList->addWhere($sqlFilter);
}

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

Adam — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 15:20:58 +0000

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

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>

Next add the table data just below line # 302 as follows.

2	<td style="text-align:right;">< ?php echo $objItem->id; ?> td>

Edit /include/html/xajax_panel_view.php just below line # 5 just before the priority column as follows.

<div id="fid">
        	<div class="flabel">< ?php echo $GLOBALS['langForm']['id']; ?>div>
        	<div class="vid">< ?php echo $objTask->id; ?>div>
        < /div>
div>

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!
2
'id' => 'ID',

Edit applicable skins’ CSS in this example /skins/redfreak/css/freak.css just below line # 550.

#fid 
{
	float: left;
	width: 80px;
	height:32px;
	margin-left: 3px;
	font-weight: bold;
}

Edit applicable skins’ CSS in this example /skins/redfreak/css/freak.css ID #fpro and remove “margin-left: 3px;”.

Visio Drawing – Server Rack

Adam — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:15:00 +0000

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

Adam — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 01:50:55 +0000

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!

SeaTools for DOS v1.0PH – Overtemp–253

Adam — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 12:47:03 +0000

I was running a hard drive diagnostic using SeaTools for DOS v1.09PH on two exactly the same Maxtor hard drives, see details of the drives below. When I attempted to run a quick scan and then a long scan it received a warning “Overtemp–253″. After doing some research I have come to the conclusion that with certainty that this doesn’t mean the hard drive is running at 253 degrees Fahrenheit. My two drives are well ventilated and do not even feel warm to the touch. In fact this message apparently means according to Seagate that the hard drive does not support SeaTools reading temperatures.

Country of Israel Districts

Adam — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:22:06 +0000

The country of Israel is broken up into 6 administrative districts with 15 sub-districts and 50 natural regions. It is my understanding according to the Isarael Central Bureau Statistics that the sub-districts are similar to what we call Provinces/States in North America and the natural regions are similar to municipalities/counties.

I’m not fully understanding the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights and East Jerusalem. Are they territories of Israel or a part of another country? How would one reference where you lived if you were lived in one of these regions (ie. West Bank, Isarel)?

This knowledge maybe helpful for those that need to reference contact information or allow clients to select their country and province/state/district.

Unique Products by Jello

Adam — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:41:21 +0000

I came across this cool company called Jello and I have to say they make some of the coolest products. For one who wouldn’t want to have a Rubik’s Cube table (smile). One thing I would have to say is the products are quite expensive to me at least. Granted they are unique and specialized. Some people may have seen Jello’s products on the iCarly Show.
