It would be great to see the previously booked efforts of each task in the task overview.

Separate View?
A very easy solution for this would be to link the booked efforts of a task (in taskView -> details) to a filtered list of efforts (including details).

Would this be sufficient?

Explanation
In the projViewTasks exists a column with the name 'Est/Compl'.
This column contains the estimated time and the degree of completion.

We would like to have another column with the name 'booked efforts' which contains the accumulated effort time (= sum of all booked efforts up to now).

So you can directly compare the estimated time / degree of completion with the booked efforts.

Two possibilities
I see to possible solutions for this problem:

First:Hack

Add a special solution for this problem only. There already is a column "task_efforts" that does just what you need:

Just add a line to lists/list_tasks.inc.php:

from lists/list_tasks.inc.php

        $this->add_col( new ListBlockCol_Milestone);
        $this->add_col( new ListBlockCol_EstimatedComplete);
        $this->add_col( new ListBlockCol_DaysLeft);
        $this->add_col( new ListBlockColPubLevel());
        $this->add_col( new ListBlockCol_TaskSumEfforts());  ### add this line

But this solution is so slow, that it is not preferable for all users.


Second:Long term

  • Implement user customization
  • Implement caching of booked efforts (I still believe that booked efforts for task folders have to summed up).

Why did you remove the effort col?

I thought it was quiet nice :-).

Sorry...
I tought it was too slow... Have have to turn into an config-option ala:

confGet("COLUMN_TASK_EFFORT_SUM");

Question
I have a question related to ListBlockCol_TaskSumEfforts.

You mentioned at implement some sort of caching for efforts and number of subtasks that you have no idea how to deal with folders which shows a filtered list of e.g. subtasks (= not all tasks; some tasks are e.g. hidden to the user) and their summed up efforts.

My question is if you already found a solution for this problem?
I would like to know this in relation to add list of all (not only open) tasks for person because I implemented the page where only the tasks of the selected person are shown and there is the same problem with the folder and the summed up efforts (at the tree view).

I have no idea...
The only possibility I see is to sum up ALL efforts and risk that it does not match with the visible tasks. But actually I do not think that this features is required if you implement the effort summary page as suggested. Than all details about such things can be assembled on this page. This has the slightly benefit, that this page is also only visible for people, who can see all tasks.
