when you have a form error with devise, it will not show up bootstraped

add an option to add a private task only visible to you not your friends

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18867556/set-the-default-value-for-date-field-in-rails-4

try and call back an elements expires_at instead of storing it in a hidden div

support profile pics

if you backspace out of the friend search bar it shows o results for " "

hitting backspace again will clear the search.

we added those in during testing to insure that tasks could not be created without em. But the user should never see such a message because it is all backend managed. Maybe just change the messages to a more general error message. if not than remove those validations

when flash notices appear they shift the whole page, this is not a nice UX. Change it to save space on the top of the page, for flash notices to fill.

There seems to be some issue with getting validation errors to create/display.

(
NOTE: the following areas were edited for validations:

• application_helper.rb
• _form.html.erb

)

This should be pretty straightforward. Just have ajax stick in a #{@tasks.count} into the string

It would be nice UX to ajax the list switching. So when a user toggles between lists, there is no page reload

(on the show/home page there is a bar with all users lists displayed. that should be ajax)

Notes:

• in the list controller there is already commented out lines supporting an ajax call.
• add remote true to the form
• new files: create.js.erb, and destroy.js.erb in lists/

We want to add a feature where you can view public/friends task lists.

We will need:

friends attribute for User ( friends:array_of_Users )
pending_request model -> gets created when you send a friend request. It needs two user attributes sender and reciever.

1. when a user sends a request we can create a pending_request. (sender: current_user, receiver: target)
2. on (manage) friends page load have logic to show pending_requests (sender.name wants be a friend y/n)
3. if yes: add current_user to sender.friends && add sender to current_user.friends
4. if no: destroy pending_request instance.

Note on views:

• friend list will have to show three options: send request, pending, friends!
• users/show will have to be updated to only allow showing a friend's page

think of a way to allow multiple task lists for each user

First check if this is a faster way to run the js

This we got working in terms of the guts. The issue is right now, new tasks, and the new-task-input get stuck onto the top of the page, not the table. also the old new-task-input does not get removed

we want to put user signin/nav links in a topbar

say something like "So far you have no connections, you can search for people you know"

maybe change the 7 day generic deadline to be slidable

We need to order the tasks by time remaining.. How to do that with scope/SQL

See this answer for advice on how to implement this.

There are 3 solutions I found:

• to do with td tags didn't solve it...
• best stack-overflow answer doesn't seem like a coherent answer
• 2nd stackoverflow doesn't seem like a coherent answer

Maybe add a feature where you can comment on your own or your friend's tasks

I made a mess of things in that partial. The idea is to change the color based on how little time remaining. But it is just a mess of logic, maybe find a way to clean it up.

In application_helper.rb I have a function that supplies all the views with a log_info function. But the controllers do not have access to it...

Find a way to globally add this function to the whole project

add and style a footer that sticks to the bottom. also add a right and left border for .container to extend the full height.

look into the whenever gem. It seems to be a simpler gem

When you create a new tasklist, the first entries you put in do not get ajax'd.

The issue:

• first one or two tasks require page refresh before they show up
• next ~5 tasks if given a shorter expire date, will not show up without refresh

When searching email results we need to limit it too only the unique part of the email, cutting off everything after the @

update the ajax to check your search form every 2 seconds and show the live results

Right now the friends view will show you all registered Users.

We want it to only show Users that:

• are your friends
• are pending friends (requesting or pending)

to find non friends, you should be required to search for them by name.

• Use the checkpoint-led rake method (use the e.c gem to automate it)
• Use ajax to watch the timers, and delete them as soon as they expire
• Use rails to delete them on page load
• My favorite: Use rails (or jquery) to only show you you're active tasks, and then have an expired task view

if you have an ajak generated flash message in the flash div, and then you refresh the page, it persists... This may be because the flash is still present and ajax just forced it up early.

we want to simplify how I implemented the friending controls

we will follow this guide as usual :)

The current way to choose a datetime is rather meh....

Maybe look for a different way to this using bootstrap or html/css/js

on reload it is fixed

we need to have ajax check where to place a new task based on when it expires

A helper method is needed to check whether expired-tasks are collapsed or not, and based on that to display either show expired or hide expired. As well as to display task count as current_user.tasks.unexpired.count (for when expired is hidden) or current_user.tasks.count (for when expired is also being displayed)

I think the helper method needs to be all jquery/AJAX as It is dependent on the state of an element...
