Hi, I just wanted to point out that I made some enhancements to this script, which are published here:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/48350

Landon, if you would like to incorporate the enhancements in your project rather than forking, please do so, and I'll update the page to point people here.

Issue with displaying sub-projects when sub-sub-projects are present, replied by torfason

First, thanks Landon for this script, it is really neat.

Second, I tried creating a three-level project structure (each project/sub-project also has a task that I am not including here):

x-p1 (show)
  x-sub1 (show)
    x-thirdlevel1 (show)
x-p2 (show)
x-p3 (show)

This works great, and clicking (show) on x-p1, x-p2, x-p3, (or x-thirdlevel1 for that matter) works great as well, showing just the tasks for the selected project.

However, clicking on x-sub1 seems to confuse the script. The correct tasks are chosen by the RTM search, but the rendering of the projects gets all screwed up (every task box gets displayed as "thirdlevel1", and the formatting of title vs. regular tasks is all over the place.

Any thoughts on why this might be?

Could you add: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/20145 to your script so that I can keep up to date with it?

The solution suggested by MarkS leaves the (irritatingly long) project tag showing. The problem seems to be with a change of cell ordering on RTM. Try replacing line 70 by:

tasks.table.tBodies[0].rows[i].childNodes[3].firstChild.innerHTML = task_tags.substring(0, task_tags.length-1);

It seems to work for me this way.

I've sort of tracked the problem down. When tasks are display the tag appears before the task name. The script attempts to remove tags that match the project tag (".my_first_project" in the example). But for some reason the task name is being removed as well. A temporary fix (for me at least) is to edit the script and then comment out line 70 to give:

		    //tasks.table.tBodies[0].rows[i].childNodes[3].lastChild.innerHTML = task_tags.substring(0,task_tags.length-1);

Doesn't work properly for me either. The nesting of the sub tasks is fine. However it only shows the tags on the sub tasks, it doesn't show the sub task titles.

Firefox 3, brand new install of portable firefox (+ greasemonkey + this script). Nothing else has been done on the install, so it looks like it is this script rather than interaction with another script/user configuration of firefox.

Agree with krazyglu52....when I use this script task names disappear. This is my task list with tags before using this script:

Create Website (.create_website, project)
Get Account at Godaddy.com (.create_website, @online, next)
Setup wordpress installation at hosting site (.create_website,@online)
....

This is what I get after using this script
create website (show) -- Project
.create_website, @online, next -- @online, next
.create_website -- @online
...

where everything before -- is in small fonts (presumable these are the tags the script recognized and they are correct), however, everything after -- is the task name itself. and the script somehow doesn't understand that these are tags not task names. Note that this only happens if I have more than one tags for a task. But naturally because I also have contexts and such, i have to have more than one tags for each task.

This script has potential. But it's not working right now. I tried to look into the source, but couldn't figure everything out (my javascript fu is not too good.)

If you have the firefox addon called "Firebug", you can change the variable for logging, and tell me what it outputs...

Nope, no other scripts are running and it's in a regular list, not a smart one.

Do you have any other scripts running, and are you viewing a smartlist or a regular list?

I'm sorry. I don't think I explained myself well enough.
I am naming a project something like "My Project" and subsequent tasks "Task A" etc. However, when I add the ".project" or ".project.subproject" labels, the task names disappear. And there is no parent-child stuff going on at all.
Do you know how to fix this?

Basically, you have a task as the project header; I call those project-tasks (creative, eh?)
So, if I have the project "My Project" I would first create a task with that as the name, and then tag it ".my_project"

So, the period is only in the tag, not in the project name. Let me know if that helps you get going.

I love the concept of this script! However, I can't seem to get it work.
Whenever I create a project that begins with a period, the task name disappears. And I can't get anything to indent in subprojects.
Would you please elaborate on how to get this script to work? I think it would have a lot of potential. People at the RTM forums are dying for something like this. Thanks!
