- Impacted modules:
- todo (new module)
- note (deprecated app)
- project
- test_discuss_full (adding a dependency)
- Main changes:
- The Notes app is deprecated
- A To-do app is created to replace it
- The To-do app uses the model project.task (from module project)
for to-dos. To-dos are equivalent to private tasks (tasks without
project) with no parent task set.
- Private tasks/to-dos can either be displayed in the My Tasks menu
of the Project app or in the To-do app that proposes simplified
views to edit them.
- Details:
- depracation of Notes: Before the module note can be fully removed,
some changes still need to be done in other modules that use its
models (mainly note.note model). This commit deprecate the Notes
app in the meantime by removing it from the main menu/dashboard
and by replacing the creation of notes directly from the systray
by the creation of private tasks (to-dos).
- activity: In the systray, it is currently not possible to
segregate records using the same model. Therefore to-dos will
appear in the task section. This will change in the future when
this possibility will be implemented in mail.
- name generation: When edited from To-do, a name is auto-genrated
for private tasks. This behavior is similar to the one existing in
notes with a few adaptation to Todo UX. When a to-do is untitled
and saved (through the save button or when leaving the form view),
a name is generated based on the first line of the description of
this to-do. If the generated name is longer than 100 characters it
is truncated.
- security:
- project.task model need to be accessible in all crud modes to
all internal users as it is used in the to-do module. This is
a big change compared to the previous behavior where only
project users could edit tasks.
- project.tags model access is way more permisive now. All users
have access to edition/delition of tags as they are use in the
to-do app.
- Record rules: A similar behavior as the current one is
implemented, i.e:
- project users can access all tasks (with edition rights)
verifying one of the following conditions:
- they follow the task
- they follow the project the task belongs to
- they are assigned to the task
- the project the task belongs to is accessible for all
internal users.
- internal users have only read-access to the non-private
tasks shared with them.
- Those changes related to security only occurs when the app
To-do is installed. When it is note, the current behavior of
Project security-wise is kept unchanged.
Note on this last point: As the write access of internal users to
project.task is now managed with record rules, the form of this model
won't be displayed in read-only anymore when To-do is installed. This
will results in access error message for the tasks for which the write
access is restricted. Unfortunatelly, there is no better solution at the
moment as neither restricted read access, nor extendent write access for
internal users are desired. An improvement of the framework to deal with
such situation could be benificial.
