VFX Plugins

[remkonoteboom]

Just today, I have merged in a Plugin version of the VFX template in the latest 4.8 branch.  Eventually these will replace the template vfx.  It has a few changes that I noticed and future fixes specifically in the VFX module will go here.  There is still a bunch of work to do to integrate with the project creation interface and make sure you can still save your own templates, however, it is a good example to see how plugins are built.

src/plugins/TACTIC/vfx/

There are  two plugins: stypes (which define all of the search types) and config (which define ui configuration).  We separate these because you tend not to want to reload the stypes plugins as it literally has to dump the table, create the new table and reload the data (not something you want to do after production starts).

To use these plugins, simple create an empty project with no theme, go to the plugin manager and load both plugins.

Thank you so much, Remko!
Can't wait to have my hands on it!

Good news, it is very handy for people starting to use tactic to have a base to work on!

I just wanted to add that after activating the plugin you have to go to "project workflow" and click save for each workflow in order to be able to start adding tasks

[remkonoteboom]

Yes, I noticed that. That's because, for whatever reason, there are no entries in the config/process for these workflows. These workflows are quite old and like predate this table. Saving them in the workflow auto-generates the entries.

[Diego]

Yes, the same happens when you create a workflow for a sTypes from the project_configuration

I just made a PR for a Scrum plugin, I ported the old scrum template, it still a bit rough but it works.

Don't know if you are interested in it but I use it for tracking my development...

Soon i will release my own template, suited for web-series

Hi guys!

Loved the idea and I´m porting our templates into plugins, but I found the Stypes in VFX plugin don´t appear in the Manage sTypes or the Search Types Configurator in the VFX Plugin. Is this ok? Would it be possible to "bake them" in any way?

Could this be a problem in some moment or I´m being scared just because I know nothing about coding?

Thanks in advanced!

Could it be related to this issue?

It seems it has to do with the Project Type. Is the Project Type = "vfx"?
This was a bug, but I believe I set the vfx plugin to set the project type to "vfx".

That UI matches the project type with namespace of the search types to filter which stypes to list.

[Nachogor]

For some reason I can change between the rest of the project types (all are simple) but I get this error with VFX

Thanks for trying it out. I also encountered this and fixed (as I was fixing other stuff on VFX for a related issue):

https://github.com/Southpaw-TACTIC/TACTIC/pull/1452

and specifically, this commit:

https://github.com/Southpaw-TACTIC/TACTI...773ae44e89

I believe this fixes it. It is merged with the latest 4.8
