vBulletin Project Tools - Color to Indicate Status · **Released**: 08-17-2007

Background:

I am a visual person and with the project(s) I will be using using Project Tools with I need to be able to quickly look at my pages to determine if I still have outstanding issues that need to be addressed. This modification makes it easier for me to keep track of the issues that I have to still address.

About the Modification:

I am posting this here with the hope that vBulletin takes the code and improves it and turns this into a standard feature of project tools. There are lots of ways this script could be improved but java is not my strong suite and I hope by posing this here someone else can help improve this!

The Modifications that are needed:

Two files must be edited.
Install a product file with one small phrase and a small pluggin.
Edit one template

OK, let the fun begin!

STEP 1: Install the Attached Product File!

STEP 2: A Bunch of File Edits!

STEP 3: EDIT template pt_issuebit

NOTE - You can change as many or as few cells in row of each issue. In this example I did the first three as shown in the attached image!

FIND:

PHP Code:


			
<td class="alt2" align="center">

REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:


			
<td class="alt2" align="center" style="background-color: $issue[background]">

FIND:

PHP Code:


			
<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]">

REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:


			
<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]" style="background-color: $issue[background]">

FIND:

PHP Code:


			
<td class="alt2 smallfont" align="$stylevar[right]" nowrap="nowrap">

REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:


			
<td class="alt2 smallfont" align="$stylevar[right]" nowrap="nowrap" style="background-color: $issue[background]">

I also did the same edits to all of the cells on my site and attached a screen shot as an example!

Well, if I didn't scare you off and you are still reading... Just remember to use the color codes as the six digit hexadecimal values with the number sign. Here are the ones I am using:

#FFFFFF - White
#FFFFCC - Pastel Yellow
#CCFFFF - Pastel Blue
#FFCCFF - Pastel Pink

Note that I use color for issues that need my attention. I use white for the issues that I can ignore... But obviously you can use any colors you want! Now, if you do not add a color value, your site will use the default style colors as well!

hi,

IT IS WORKING !!!!!!!!!! look in the screenshot (attched to this post) click that small area next to the input field will bring up vBulletin cpcolorpicker.I managed to "integrate" it into Project Tools.I don't know if i will share it through

Delphiprogrammi · #13 08-23-2007, 01:26 PM

actually you can kill one more file edit ....

hook:issuestatusdata_start

code

PHP Code:


			
$this->validfields['background'] = array(TYPE_STR,REQ_NO);

that will kill the class_dm_pt_issuestatus.php edit

Delphiprogrammi · #14 08-23-2007, 07:50 PM

hi,

To get the vBulletin default colorpicker working in the Porject Tools admin page (project.php) you need

edit

step 1

open /admincp/project.php and find

PHP Code:


			
print_cp_header($vbphrase['project_tools']);

replace with

PHP Code:


			
print_cp_header($vbphrase['project_tools'],'init_color_preview()');
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../clientscript/vbulletin_cpcolorpicker.js"></script>
<?php

step 2

find (and remove this line)

PHP Code:


			
print_input_row($vbphrase['background_color'],'background',$issuestatus['background'],true,5);

step 3

find this line

PHP Code:


			
print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['can_create_petitions_from_this_status'], 'canpetitionfrom', $issuestatus['canpetitionfrom']);

below that add this

PHP Code:


			
require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions_template.php');
 $colorPicker = construct_color_picker(11);
 echo "<tr>
  <td class=\"alt1\">$vbphrase[background_color]</td>
  <td class=\"alt1\">
   <table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\">
   <tr>
    <td><input type=\"text\" class=\"bginput\" name=\"background\" id=\"color_0\" value=\"{$issuestatus['background']}\" title=\"background\" tabindex=\"1\" size=\"22\" onchange=\"preview_color(0)\" dir=\"ltr\" />&nbsp;</td>
    <td><div id=\"preview_0\" class=\"colorpreview\" onclick=\"open_color_picker(0, event)\"></div></td>
   </tr>
   </table>
  </td>
 </tr>\n";

step 4

find this lines

PHP Code:


			
construct_hidden_code('issuestatusid', $issuestatus['issuestatusid']);
 print_submit_row();

below that add

PHP Code:


			
echo $colorPicker;
 ?>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 <!--
 var bburl = "<?php echo $vbulletin->options['bburl']; ?>/";
 var cpstylefolder = "<?php echo $vbulletin->options['cpstylefolder']; ?>";
 var numColors = 1;
 var colorPickerWidth = <?php echo intval($colorPickerWidth); ?>;
 var colorPickerType = <?php echo intval($colorPickerType); ?>;
 //-->
 </script>
<?php

that should do it

Quarterbore · #15 08-24-2007, 01:18 AM

Thanks for working on this... I wanted to work on it as well before I left for a trip but I ran out of time. I will help (if you need it) when I get back next week.

Quarterbore · #16 08-26-2007, 10:43 PM

I am just getting home from a trip so it will take me a while to get back into a routein that I can fight with this... I have added Delphiprogrammi as a Co-Author!

EDIT:

OK, I am not sure this is all of the edits but it should be... this will add a small table to the main issue status listing so that the colors for each status will be displayed.

All of these edits are in Admin/project.php

FIND:

Great mod but it doesn't seem to work for search results. Can it be amended to do so?

well i didn't know it didn't worked in search results until i saw your post and i didn't liked it either so here we go to make it work within the search results

1)open hooks_vbprojecttools.xml (/includes/xml folder from the pt distrubution) and find

Code:

<hook>projectsearch_results_groupbit</hook>

replace that with

Code:

<hook>projectsearch_results_bit</hook>
<hook>projectsearch_results_groupbit</hook>

upload the modified hooks_vbprojecttools.xml to /includes/xml

2)create a new plugin with this information

product: Project Tools Status Colors
hookrojectsearch_results_bit
phpcode

$get_background = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT background FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pt_issuestatus WHERE issuestatusid='{$issue['issuestatusid']}'");
$issue['background'] = $get_background['background'];
active:yes

3)edit template pt_searchresultbit and add the background color in all "<td>" tags like this

HTML Code:

<td class="alt2" align="center" style="background-color:$issue[background]">

all done

<snip>

all done

Great job!

Also a note to anyone else that the hook is already in the search file but there was a known bug in the xml file where the hook location was missed!

Delphiprogrammi · #20 09-02-2007, 11:10 AM

hi,

or you could "kill" the template edits by doing it like this

hook project_issuebit find

PHP Code:


			
$get_background = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT background FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pt_issuestatus  WHERE issuestatusid = $issue[issuestatusid] LIMIT 1");
$issue[background] = $get_background[background];

below add

PHP Code:


			
$vbulletin->templatecache['pt_issuebit'] = preg_replace('/<td class=\\\"alt2\\\"/', '<td style=\"background-color:$issue[background]\"', $vbulletin->templatecache['pt_issuebit']);
$vbulletin->templatecache['pt_issuebit'] = preg_replace('/<td class=\\\"alt1\\\"/', '<td style=\"background-color:$issue[background]\"', $vbulletin->templatecache['pt_issuebit']);
$vbulletin->templatecache['pt_issuebit'] = preg_replace('/<td class=\\\"alt2 smallfont\\\"/', '<td style=\"background-color: $issue[background]\" class=\"smallfont\"', $vbulletin->templatecache['pt_issuebit']);
$vbulletin->templatecache['pt_issuebit'] = preg_replace('/<td class=\\\"alt1 smallfont\\\"/', '<td style=\"background-color: $issue[background]\" class=\"smallfont\"', $vbulletin->templatecache['pt_issuebit']);

hook projectsearch_results_bit find

PHP Code:


			
$get_background = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT background FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pt_issuestatus WHERE issuestatusid='{$issue['issuestatusid']}'");
$issue['background'] = $get_background['background'];

below add

PHP Code:


			
$vbulletin->templatecache['pt_searchresultbit'] = preg_replace('/<td class=\\\"alt2\\\"/', '<td style=\"background-color: $issue[background]\"', $vbulletin->templatecache['pt_searchresultbit']);
$vbulletin->templatecache['pt_searchresultbit'] = preg_replace('/<td class=\\\"alt1\\\"/', '<td style=\"background-color: $issue[background]\"', $vbulletin->templatecache['pt_searchresultbit']);
$vbulletin->templatecache['pt_searchresultbit'] = preg_replace('/<td class=\\\"alt2 smallfont\\\"/', '<td style=\"background-color: $issue[background]\" class=\"smallfont\"', $vbulletin->templatecache['pt_searchresultbit']);
$vbulletin->templatecache['pt_searchresultbit'] = preg_replace('/<td class=\\\"alt1 smallfont\\\"/', '<td style=\"background-color: $issue[background]\" class=\"smallfont\"', $vbulletin->templatecache['pt_searchresultbit']);

that should do it

Delphiprogrammi · #21 09-02-2007, 04:36 PM

there is an error in the product uninstall code the MySQL query should be

PHP Code:


			
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pt_issuestatus DROP background");
