Hi Chris and thanks for the suggestion. In fact I'd tried something like that myself already, but it doesn't really do the job, because you still have the problem on the dashboard page, to-dos are no longer coloured on each project's own overview page, and (a lesser problem) on each project's own to-do page the done to-dos are still coloured which seems not to be the ideal functionality. I've no idea how these scripts work, so not sure if the problem is actually fixable, but ideally the script would detect if a bit of text with a date is struck through and if so then wouldn't apply the colouring. I appreciate your help though! |

MarkP, there is another workaround without modifying the actual script. Actually this can be built into the install of the script later by Alex if wanted. Simply go under Manager User Scripts and then under the "Excluded Pages" section, depending on the URL you are accessing the syntax is this: http://*.projectpath.*/project/* If you are using something other than projectpath in the URL, then you might need to change the portion labeled projectpath. Also when I am logged into basecamp in my project, my projects are listed as http://, not https://, so I actually had to modify the Included Pages to read "http://", removing the s from https. Im not sure if anyone else ran into this same problem. It was just a minor edit though. Hope this helps. |

I like this script very much, but it has one small problem and I wonder if it is fixable? When a task is marked as completed and should appear on the dashboard and Project Overview pages struck-through to indicate "done", the script over-rides the strike-through attribute and it is not then clear that the task is completed. If it were possible somehow to detect that a to-do has a strike-through attribute set and not apply the colouring that would be a major improvement. The only workaround is to remember to edit the to-do and remove the date, before marking it "done", which is a little inelegant! I hope that Alex can help to make his script even better. |

Cilantro: To make it work with the US date format (mm/dd/yy) you only need to change two lines in the script. Just open the script in a text editor through the edit button in the "Manage user scripts" window. Then change line 49 & 50 to the following: dateDisplayed.setMonth(datum1[0] - 1);
Let me know if you have any questions or would like me to upload the amended script. |

Request: Could you fix the date format for us Americans? There's no way I can get my team to do day/month/year. |

Fairly simple. The allowed URLs are all https which is why it doesn't work for you. To fix it, right click the greasemonkey icon, click Manage user scripts. Then, choose Basecamp Colored todos on the left and then edit the "allowed urls" on the right. Remove the s in https. Then it will work for you. |

Ive tried using this script and there is no color change when I add a date. I am using Mozilla Firefox 2.0. Was this created to be compatible with this version? Do you have any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? |
