Show tasks with DUE date in calendar [$380]

[georgehrke]

• per-user config option to enable this feature
• only available when tasks app is enabled
• tasks have a checkbox in front of them, clicking this checkbox will mark the task as done.
• clicking the task itself should take the user to the task app
  • when going back to the calendar: get back to the same time-range?
• if task was not solved on dedicated day, it keeps showing on today till you finish it

Hi !
Wow, planned feature... Oooops, would be in 2038...

Tasks plugin is quite useless, then... Alas...
What a pity ! Assigning task to an user and viewing task in calendar is mandatory imho. Tasks plugin remains completely useless without these (minimal) features

Big thanks for the good work though

Maybe some day is just a placeholder, because this was not assigned to any milestone yet, but we definitely want this feature in the future.
If you don't get why 2038 read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem ;)

but we definitely want this feature in the future

How glad to read this !! Maybe I can help ? I'll try to have a look into code and make a PR asap, if only you want me to.
(if only i get enough time one day)

I would also suggest an option for treating tasks as events. As events are saved when Downloading calendar or Exporting event, but from the suggested implementation - tasks aren't.

[georgehrke]

That's not entirely true. Tasks ARE exported when you export a calendar.

[unclev]

I concur. The only concern - this may be not suitable for everyone.

We could add an option to the Tasks app to download/export a single task, see nextcloud/tasks#103

This is quite an important feature if you want to get away from Google Keep (Keep displays tasks with a due date in the Calendar app)

[georgehrke]

Please don't comment with +1, 👍 etc. when you can't add anything new. It's only spamming contributors' mail inboxes for no reason. Use Github Reactions instead. THX! :)

What bounty size would get immediate action on this?

[alensiljak]

@unclev, Tasks are part of the Calendar data and, as @georgehrke pointed out, are exported with the rest. The result is that external calendar apps use and display tasks along with other calendar events (i.e. free aCalendar app for Android).
The request here is for displaying Tasks (and allowing their manipulation, i.e drag & drop, un/check, edit) in the web interface of NextCloud's Calendar.

[georgehrke]

clicking the task itself should take the user to the task app

@raimund-schluessler Does the task app offer a route so the calendar app can directly point to a task?

Yes, the app offers a route, see https://github.com/nextcloud/tasks/blob/master/src/components/TheRouter.js#L40:

'/calendars/:calendarId/tasks/:taskId'

where :calendarId is calendar.url.split('/').slice(-2, -1)[0] and :taskId is the task uri, e.g.:

nextcloud/index.php/apps/tasks/#/calendars/working/tasks/855F126C-D1F5-464A-BB9D-12878F7DB369.ics

[jakobroehrl]

Is it possible to change the due date by moving the task entry in the calender?

[bfritscher]

I started looking into how difficult it is to implement this, to start learning the codebase a first basic version is on PR #1798

I just added $10 on bountysource.
