154961 - STATUS property needed for Todo's (and events)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[ajbu]

Todo should use the STATUS property to set 'complete' status, STATUS:COMPLETED.
This would make it compatible with other  iCalendar based todo listst. Also 
allows to cancel a todo without deleting it.

From the RFC:
     statvalue  =/ "NEEDS-ACTION"       ;Indicates to-do needs action.
                / "COMPLETED"           ;Indicates to-do completed.
                / "IN-PROCESS"          ;Indicates to-do in process of
                / "CANCELLED"           ;Indicates to-do was cancelled.
        ;Status values for "VTODO".


Events can have status:
     statvalue  = "TENTATIVE"           ;Indicates event is
                                        ;tentative.
                / "CONFIRMED"           ;Indicates event is
                                        ;definite.
                / "CANCELLED"           ;Indicates event was
                                        ;cancelled.
        ;Status values for a "VEVENT"

We need backend on this first...

Comment 2

[ajbu]

backend is in cvs, oeIICalEvent has a status property, and the constants it 
can use.
It can now be used like:
   ThisToDo.status = ThisToDo.ICAL_STATUS_COMPLETED;

parameters for the todo status property are:
 ICAL_STATUS_NEEDSACTION
 ICAL_STATUS_INPROCESS
 ICAL_STATUS_COMPLETED
 ICAL_STATUS_CANCELLED

Any ideas what this should look like?
I'm thinking just a simple drop down menu in the to do dialog...
Ideas are welcome, this shouldn't be too hard to do.

Evolution and Outlook both have a pulldown menu with (evolution) Status:
   Not Started
   In Progress
   Completed
   Cancelled
On the other hand, setting % completed implicates the first three cases (0%
=not started, 1..99%=in progress, 100%=completed) so Cancelled is the only 
option currently not available, Cancelled checkbox would do?

This is fixed in CVS.

Was there also included a "postponed_to_%date" flag? So that you could hyperlink
to a possible substiting event. What do you think of this?

sounds cool, but STATUS is a iCalendar standard, and doesn't allow this might 
be done with event-linking, but that's another bug (I don't know the #)

bug 137777 deals with linking to other calendar events.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
