LOTE organizational architecture: a proposal

Linking to task sets

“Quick question around tasks on the EdgeRyders platform, are they clustered? For example could I link to a page of tasks exclusively focused on web development?”

Tasks can be filtered / clustered by Project (= group), type, priority and status. The applicable values for that ware on the task manager page. For building the link you need some Firebug magic to find out the URL parameter names, as in the task manager itself they stay invisible (meaning, it uses POST parameters). For example, when I wanted to list all tasks in the Making Lote 3 group that are of type “General Task”, I could use this link: /casetracker?pid=568&case_type_id[]=11. If that kind of clustering is sufficient for you, fine (we can adapt the “task types”, but it should be generic, because it applies to the whole site).

If you want freeform clustering by any tag you choose, the way to go would be filling the “Topics” field in the task edit form. Problem is, I don’t think that linking to a page filtered by tag and node type (like “only tasks”) is possible yet, and somebody would have to look into this for getting it done. If you want that feature, just open a task in the Edgeryders Dev & Testing group.
