Hi everyone 🙂
I was given the task to create a wiki page where users could find a To-Do list looking like the following:
- A task is described
- The task is assigned to an user
- The date when the task was assigned to an user is specified
- An icon is added each week to this task to indicate whether it has been completed or if it's still pending (like an X or a V, depending on the status).
- Anyone can have a quick feeling of what tasks need attention by seeing how many Xs (or whatever icon ends up being used to indicate pending tasks) are associated to a given task. Completed tasks would be crossed-out once they get their V icon (or whatever icon ends up being used to indicate completed tasks)
One of the objectives is to make it as easy as possible to edit/maintain.
I was thinking of using a table with the following columns:
- Task
- User
- Since when
- <date of week1>
- <date of week2>
- ...
- <date of week n>
Every week, a new column would need to be added to the table and filled with the corresponding icon for each current task. Internal columns corresponding to older (now irrelevant) dates should be easily deleted in order to save space, when necessary.
Now this is to difficult to handle for most of my users, especially the part where they would need to delete older internal columns from the table without messing things up. A relatively easy solution would be to use EditTable, but I face a display problem mentioned here that affects edit mode in my case. Other minor bugs (like this one, or this one) are also making it a bit inconvenient
I hope someone can help me out about this display issue (it seems like this bug is around since 2017, though) and then I'll happily use this plugin to fit my needs. On the other hand, I wonder if I chose the best approach to begin with. Maybe there is a better way to achieve this goal.
Any thoughts?
Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.
Best,
