I have submitted as a community plugin now. Here is the proper link for BRAT:
New version 1.2.0 with new command to add new tasks, and sort by start date in timeline. Many bug fixes. Download via BRAT.
Looks awesome.
The task system that’s required for this plugin doesn’t work with my workflow. I use the tasks plugin and don’t want to prefix my tasks with E,S, and SB. I’d be happy to try this plugin again whenever it becomes flexible enough to support tasks better.
Thanks for feedback, and you’re correct.
If you use other plugins for task management, please keep using them. This plugin is designed more as a traditional project management tool. It can be compared to MS Project, or similar larger PM tools.
I fixed all the bugs Obsidian wanted to comply to their community plugin guidelines. Hopefully more project managers will start using it once its released officially.
So to wrap up… @jason.coombes plugin is a completely different one. We still need someone to maintain the original Projects plugin / make a fork.
I used obsidian-projects to make my backlog database of movies and games. I use the Media DB plugin to grab games/movies info from TMDB, Steam, etc.
To make it output my reviews from Media DB created notes, I wrote a dataviewjs script in all such notes’ frontmatter that would grab the text from the body of the note, from a specified place.
And put it in the Media DB’s template.
So when I open it in Projects plugin, it reads the dataviewjs dcode from the frontmatter, (which in turn) grabs the text between certain delimiters in the note’s body, and outputs it:
The delimiters my dataviewjs code grabs are the word “Review” and the “—” after it.
And this is how the Bases core plugin views it:
If Bases could output the dataviewjs code somehow by some switch - that’d be delightful.
P.S. In case anyone’s wondering and want to use the Projects plugin temporarily until Bases updated:
- You need to turn on Rich text formatting in the Field setting for it to output the code. Otherwise, it will show as a plain text code, and not its output.
I would love to continue my contribution to Projects, saying just start a fork, but I’m not convinced that there are still many sticked to it. Another thought would be keep Projects UX but do some refactoring and rebranding. Projects tooks its own indexing, and is on Svelte 3. Should we migrate to metadataCache and use Svelte 5
how do you add users ?
Me is the only user ![]()
I’m looking forward to trying this out. It looks like you’ve put a lot of thought into it.
That’d be lovely! I’m still sticking
In the end, you could do it for yourself and just share if anyone might find it and want it. For now, the killer feature of Projects is that unlike Bases core plugin, it allows running the dataview query from the YAML/properties. Which you can mention to attract more people. Not everybody knows that.
Please, read my comment about this feature above above
For now I’d call the plugin “Better Bases” or something like that, for the little marketing.
