Project Space Skeleton

Description

Visualize projects in an organized manner, as notes on a board. Projects can be categorized, color-coded and tagged to be easily identified, and displayed in a variety of ways with filtering and sorting.

The Project Space theme is responsive, and its use of JavaScript is minimal and only as progressive enhancements. The theme is designed by the Graceful degradation methodology, wherein JavaScript is not necessary for the site to function. Scripts include PJAX, DatePicker for calendar, and Multiple Select for dropdowns.

Usage

Create a folder in /user/pages that will store your project-notes, like /projects. In this folder, create a default.md-file with the following content:

---
title: Project Space

sitemap:
    changefreq: monthly
    priority: 1.03
feed:
    description: Projects
    limit: 10
---

Using any FrontMatter you prefer, of course. Each child-page, ie. folder below this page, is treated as a note when you visit the page. For example, a typical note may be in the folder /user/pages/projects/et-genus-fumant-et-omnes, and look like this:

---
title: 'Et genus fumant et omnes'
color: orange
taxonomy:
    category: Ongoing
    tag:
        - 'Lorem Ipsum'
---

- [x] Finish my changes
- [ ] Push my commits to GitHub
- [ ] Open a pull request

The headers color and taxonomy are completely optional, and only the former affects the styling of the note. taxonomy.category should be a string, not a list. taxonomy.tag should, however, be a list of tags. color may be one of:

• white: White
• red: Red
• orange: Orange
• yellow: Yellow
• green: Green
• teal: Teal
• blue: Blue
• dark-blue: Dark Blue
• purple: Purple
• pink: Pink
• brown: Brown
• gray: Gray

Categories are defined as a list in site.yaml, for example:

taxonomies: [category,tag]
categories:
  - Idea
  - Ongoing
  - Done
  - Archived

Note that taxonomies: [category,tag] is necessary for Grav to recognize that your pages use the category and tag taxonomies.

With the Admin-plugin

If you are using the Admin-plugin, this is very easy to manage when editing a page:

Style options:

These settings are in the Content-tab, just below where you write the Markdown for your note.

Taxonomy options:

These settings are in the Options-tab, just below where you change the settings for Publishing.

Available layouts, filters and sorting

All options are managed through the Tools-menu, and applied as URL-parameters to the page.

Display mode (display):

• Blocks (default): Masonry-layout
• List: Listed vertically
• Category: Grouped by category, list
• Color: Grouped by color, list

Date range (start and end):

• Start: Date to start search at
• End: Date to stop search at

Order (sort-by and sort-dir):

• Sort by: Name of post (title), date of post (date), or name of post's folder (folder)
• Sort direction: Ascending (asc) or descending (desc)
• Limit: Amount of posts to show per page (INT)

Category (category)

Comma-separated list of categories to include, URL encoded. These are defined as a list in site.yaml.

Color (color)

Comma-separated list of colors to include, URL encoded. Colors are hard-coded within the plugin for proper rendering in the interface(s).

Tag (tag)

Comma-separated list of tags to include, URL encoded. These are generated from all available posts.

Installation

To install this package, you will essentially be replacing the default user folder with the skeleton. To do this, download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/. Then, rename the folder to user.

If a user folder already exists, back up the folder to a safe place, delete it (if there is no custom content in it you wish to keep) or replace its contents with the files in the unzipped folder.

You should now have all the skeleton files under

/your/site/grav/user/

NOTE: This skeleton is a modular component for Grav which requires Grav, the Error and Problems plugins, and a theme to be installed in order to operate. If you download this skeleton as part of a pre-assembled package from GetGrav.org, you should have everything you need to get started.
