New Post: Any thought to using the "last_sync" parameter for GetList?

johnlong — Thu, 17 May 2012 02:31:00 GMT

It looks like each time you get a TaskList, you download the entire list from RTM. With the last_sync parameter for rtm.tasks.getList it seems you could only get the rtm items that have changed and leave the rest local. I could do the change, but wondered if you wanted a crack at it, or if I'm missing something about your code and you are already doing it.

It's just because nobody asked for it until now :)

I just submitted a change: you can set Rtm.Client.UseHttps to True. It's False by default, however, for backward compatibility.

Hey there,

RememberTheMilk's API allow usage of an HTTPS address for requests. Why IronCow is using the non-secured version?

Hey,

When "Syncing" is enabled, it means that any change to the object model will fire up a web request to execute that change with the RTM API. You mostly call DisableSyncing when you want to test your application locally.

In theory, it wouldn't be too hard indeed to have an offline mode where all web requests are cached until Sync is enabled again, but this is not supported at the moment.

Hi there,

I've been trying to understand what this "Syncing" concept is within the code, and whether this relates to offline use.

For example, the Rtm.DisableSyncing() method, when would you use this? Is there any way of resyncing up all changes to RTM by turning Syncing back on again after carrying out a series of actions? Or is this for something else?

Thanks,
Hamish

New Post: Ignore completed tasks

ludovic_chabant — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 21:51:08 GMT

That method should return the task-lists (not the tasks themselves). It's only when you start accessing one of those lists' tasks that it would sync.

Back when I wrote this I looked at the way the RTM guys do it on the website, and they also synced all the completed tasks, so I did the same. This makes it simpler when you start running search queries that may need to include completed tasks. Having to manage partially-synced objects can get quite hairy (although it's not impossible to do I guess).

So, answering the question: no, it's not possible to ignore completed tasks, sorry.

Hey Ludo!

Is there any way to ignore fetching completed tasks when using GetParentableTaskLists()? Right now my lists are returned with hundreds of completed tasks!

Thanks :D

New Post: Where's the documentation?

ludovic_chabant — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 01:16:41 GMT

No, there's just the homepage and the 2 links with the sample code, sorry :)

Are you looking for something in particular?

EdStauff — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 23:28:04 GMT

Is there any documentation? The "Documentation" tab says there isn't any, I didn't see any "ReadMe" files in the sources (except for the PowerShell thing), and the few source files I examined contained very few comments. I also searched the Discussions. Did I miss something?

Thanks,

nickudell — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 01:14:10 GMT

Well that's embarrassing, my service doesn't have modify or delete permissions. Do I have to contact RememberTheMilk to get this changed or can I get my program to request the permission from the user?

EDIT: I'm an idiot again, of course it's doable. It works now

New Post: Removing Tasks Permissions Problem

Can you log in to RTM's website and check that, in Settings > Services, your application shows up as having permission to delete tasks?

nickudell — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 19:24:04 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to remove tasks using my program. I've already logged in and downloaded the tasks list, but when I later try to remove one I get the following exception: [IronCow.RtmException] = {"User not logged in / Insufficient permissions"}

I'm removing tasks using this code (rtm is my logged in RTM object, myTask is the task I'm looking to delete)

TaskListCollection tlc = rtm.TaskLists;

foreach (TaskList list in tlc)
{
    TaskListTaskCollection taskListsTasks = list.Tasks;
    foreach (Task task in taskListTasks)
    {
        if (!(task.IsDeleted || task.IsCompleted) && task.Name == myTask.Name)
        {
            list.Tasks.Remove(task);
        }
    }
}

Awesome! Your app looks pretty good!

I've ported IronCow to Silverlight for Windows Phone to build an RTM app. You can find the project here: http://winmilk.codeplex.com/

If you donwload the source code, there's an IronCow project in the solution that you can use. :)

You want to keep the AuthToken around, not the Frob.

You can also check whether your stored token is still valid (e.g. if the user revoked your app on the RTM site) by calling CheckToken. If that tells you the token is not valid anymore, you can go through authentication again. Otherwise, you can just set the AuthToken on the Rtm object.

Ok, I've made some progress (Almost done actually), now I want to enable users to stay authenticated.
I did this by writing a frob string into a text file, if however I want to use that frob the next time the user starts the program I get the same "Invalid frob - did you authenticate?" again
I've uploaded a paste with comments

http://paste2.org/p/962862

Maybe you don't do this by using the same frob?

Thanks again

ludovic_chabant — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:02:58 GMT

Indeed, maybe I should refactor "GetFrob()" in "GetFrob(bool generateNew = false)", or rename it to "GetNewFrob" or something... I'll think about it for the next release. Thanks!

bschwrz — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:20:06 GMT

Thanks, that fixed it!
For some reason GetFrob() would get you the same frob thing everytime :D
