Setting start/end date for projects from the API?

tobiasbp · May 22, 2019, 8:14am

Hello…

I’m working on integrating Kanboard with other systems where I work. I’d like to set end/start dates for projects I create using the API. It looks to me like it’s not supported.

If it’s not supported, should I post a feature request? Should I (try to) add it myself. Any pointers on where to start?

Thanks,
Tobias

Hello, tobiasbp!
The code you should change is the method updateProject from API/Procedure/ProjectProcedure

github.com

kanboard/kanboard/blob/96dd20c0cd0b3d30da7240444be734d92e3c0536/app/Api/Procedure/ProjectProcedure.php#L106-L120


public function updateProject($project_id, $name = null, $description = null, $owner_id = null, $identifier = null)
{
    ProjectAuthorization::getInstance($this->container)->check($this->getClassName(), 'updateProject', $project_id);


    $values = $this->filterValues(array(
        'id' => $project_id,
        'name' => $name,
        'description' => $description,
        'owner_id' => $owner_id,
        'identifier' => $identifier,
    ));


    list($valid, ) = $this->projectValidator->validateModification($values);
    return $valid && $this->projectModel->update($values);
}

If you’re willing to change kanboard code, I suggest you create a pull request afterwards to persist your changes on future versions.
It is also possible to create a plugin that implements a new api method. I think that what you’re asking for should be made directly on kanboard instead of a plugin.
If you need any help, I’ll be around

Thank you for helping me out. I have updated createProject and updateProject on my own installation to accepth “start_date” and “end_date” and played around with it.
