Kanban Plugin

[mynoxin]

Hey, nice plugin!
I will use it for the organization of my podcast projects.

Is there a bug in it? When I set up a template for creating a new note from a card, the new note is empty (no template is shown in it). And after that procedure, a new list is made, although I didn’t’t want it.

thanks, Christian

+1 for the great work on the plugin. Can anyone point me in the right direction for some custom CSS? I’m running Minimal Theme + Kanban.

I would like to change the background color of the cards. I have most of it, but there is a border around the cards I cannot figure out (not the list border). I’ve modified every section in the Minimal CSS and even the styles.css (for plugin), but it still reverts to background-primary of the theme. Also it is applying to the list title. Any ideas?

Currently using body .kanban-plugin__markdown-preview-view for the red background shown.

Try this:

div.kanban-plugin__item-wrapper div {background: red;}

It’s the descendant combinator; it’ll style every div with the specified ancestor.

@JJSlote

div.kanban-plugin__item-wrapper div {background: red;}

That worked, thanks!

If anyone is interested, here is a snippet to facelift dark mode Kanban boards on Minimal Theme. Mimics some other boards out there, and looks really slick (IMO). The ability to link Kanban cards to notes and have images is a game changer.

/* Optional - change text size-weight-font-color - looks best at ~17px theme text */
body .kanban-plugin__markdown-preview-view {
  font-family:var(----text);
  font-size: 1.05em;
  font-weight: 250;
  color: rgb(223, 222, 222);
}

/* Canvas background color */
body .kanban-plugin {
  background-color:rgb(32,32,32);
}

/* Button background color */
div.kanban-plugin__item-wrapper div {background: rgb(41,41,41);}

/* Button padding */
body .kanban-plugin__item-content-wrapper {
	padding: 6px;
}

/* Space between cards, box shadow, and border */
body .kanban-plugin__item { 
	margin-top: 6px;
	box-shadow: 2px 6px 3px 0px #191919;
	border:1px solid rgb(62,62,62);
}

/* Remove border around list and make transparent */
body .kanban-plugin__lane-items {
  border: none;
  background-color: transparent;
}

/* Reduce indent of checkboxes */
body .kanban-plugin__item-markdown ul {
  margin-left: -12%;
}

/* Old / current / overdue Colors */

/* past */
.kanban-plugin__item.is-past .kanban-plugin__item-metadata-date-relative {
  color: rgb(188,84,76);
}

/* today */
.kanban-plugin__item.is-today .kanban-plugin__item-metadata-date-relative {
  color: rgb(36,183,75);
}

/* future */
.kanban-plugin__item.is-future .kanban-plugin__item-metadata-date-relative {
  color: rgb(255,153,21);
}```

Really loving this plugin! Will future automation allow for reoccurring cards? For example, if I add a new card and specify that it reoccurs weekly, then once I complete it a new one will appear in a chosen column?

yes a autogenerating code for tasks can work very well with this plugin. I wonder if another plugin can do that. the only one i know is daily planner which I can’t make it work first time i tried and i think not getting updated any longer.

[dknight212]

Perhaps Tasks might? I use it and Kanban but not together.

I use Drafts app for capturing - is there any possible way to code a drafts action to append text “under a heading” so I can add directly to my Kanban obsidian inbox?

Edit what about using with GitHub - Vinzent03/obsidian-advanced-uri: Advanced modes for Obsidian URI?

[mgmeyers]

Yes, this is in the near-future plans!

[mgmeyers]

This should be doable sometime in the next few months. I’m currently working on a public-facing API for the kanban plugin that will allow other apps and plugins to manipulate kanban boards.

Fantastic - very grateful

Hi great plug-in!

Is it possible to have a [[note]] automatically entered into a default column on a Kanban board by, say, just dragging that note into the default note folder for that board?

For example, I have a board called clients, where each card title is a [[note]] representing that client. I would like to create new clients on the fly, knowing that once I drag the [[client note]] into the “clients” folder, the card is automatically created on the clients board and linked to [[client note]].

Is this possible?

[mgmeyers]

Not at the moment, no, but support for things like this is on the roadmap

[erazlogo]

Fantastic plugin, thank you! I use Kanban for writing and each task is a paragraph in my draft (see pic).

How difficult would it be to offer an option to compile from Kanban?

In Markdown, a board it is basically a list of tasks with headings. How difficult would it be to replace all task code with ![[…]] for all linked notes and then compile the text from all linked notes into one markdown file using the Kanban structure as the table of contents?

Thanks!

Hello I have a question… How can/Can I hide or omit certain headers from being parsed as lanes?
My intent is to do all the project from the kanban card project. Say I have Objectives, Contacts, Meetings & Events and Tasks under Project A. Under Tasks, I have my lanes; Backlog, Next, Active & Done
Is there a way to omit or hide the Objectives, Contacts & Meetings & Events headers/lanes?

[sle7en]

The plug-in displays this weird behaviour where if I create a new kanban note → type in the lanes I want → go to markdown mode → type in a few ### level headers → go to kanban mode; the ### headers are not there.
I then save this note as a template in my templates folder.
But if I create a new note and paste that template in, all the headers become a lane…
I would love it if only certain level of headers or headers with #lane tag only became lanes… Throwing it out there…

[y.h]

You could use the longform plugin to compile as long as all your paragraphs are in the same folder

[erazlogo]

Thanks! I will go with Longform. Looks like I can even rearrange scenes in the correct order, amazing

Hi @mgmeyers! Loving Kanban so far! I wasn’t sure to post this here, but a friend pressured me to, so here we are.

I managed to “hardcode” dataview compatibility into Kanban, and works well so far. There is one small issue with the rendering of the tables, so I would like to know what you think about it.

Github Issue.

Is there anyway I can use Kanban board with Publish?
