Trouble with Wunderlist and/or Todoist - who can help?

MyMirror

@pyrosmiley
Good ideas … i will save my config and then delete the whole stuff - make a clean install of the modules.
Maybe there is something, which blocks the corret working …
I’ll try that and then get back to you.
Thanks

Ok … wunderlist does not work … i don’t know why but i get content from todoist :-)

May i ask another question?
Is it possible to have more then one account from todoist on my phone to use different tables?
I want to use one for me, check and want also to give tasks for my children (clean up their rooms and more :-) , and want to share a grocery list with my wife …
My children should only have their own plan …
Can you give me an example (if possible)?

Thanks !!

@MyMirror
Your example was very helpful - but the projektColors are without any effect.

Maybe I can get a little help here.

The Todoist header is showing on my mirror but there are not any events. I made a test project with one event scheduled for tomorrow. The url is https://todoist.com/app?lang=en#project%2F2183902244 meaning that the project should be 2183902244. Meaning that the below code should be correct

				maximumEntries: 60,
				updateInterval: 90000,
				projects: [ 2183902244 ],
				fade: true,
				orderBy: "todoist"

For the access token I am using the test token from the developer page on todoist. Should there be spaces between the quotations, brackets and token?

@MyMirror That’s exactly what I’m working on getting set up as well! While it should be technically possible to pull lists from multiple accounts on one mirror, I’m not sure you really need to?

As far as I can see it, the easiest option is simply to keep your account hooked up to the mirror and just use shared lists. Since you already want to be able to share the grocery list and assign tasks to the kids, that means those relevant lists will already be shared/accessible from your account – so just drop in another instance of the module in your config, and change the header and the project values to whatever is relevant. (You can also have several projects together, with different project colors to distinguish whose chores are whose!). Mine (with badly maintained personal and work lists) looks like this:

If that doesn’t work for you, then it should be possible to pull from other accounts, but you’ll have to go through the process of making a developer account and getting a test API key for each one you plan on using. This also means that each person’s list(s) must be on separate instances of the module, and can’t be combined at all (since each API key can only access data for its own account). You can have several projects from one account in each instance, but not multiple accounts.

As for the projectColors value: to be honest, I started mine awhile back by copy/pasting from an example, and when it worked, I decided to just… not mess with it. My understanding is that, at least with that build, the projectColors bit was to specify what colors to display to correlate with the ones built into the Todoist clients.

@potts-mike For the accessToken, there should not be any brackets, just quotation marks. That’s my bad, I typed it out that way without even thinking about the fact that java config does, in fact, actually use brackets.

As for spaces, I don’t think you need any. I’m not sure that they’ll mess anything up, though, but I could be wrong. Worth trying if taking out the brackets around the token doesn’t fix your problem.

Hi pyrosmiley,
i’ve removed every bracket and space … no content from the wunderlist :-(
I think, i’ll Forget this for a while and start really new from bottom up (just with the wunderlist).
The todoist is ok.
If i share my account with my wife and my kids, and they will have access to todoist … they will give me thousend of tasks i have to for them :-) :-) … no, this can’t be the right way .So i have to think about, how to separate that.
The main problem here is, to use seperate accounts with one app on my mobile.
Thanks a lot for your help and ideas - if you find a way … pls share it :-).

@potts-mike: Thanks for your tip

@MyMirror Oh my goodness – maybe my phrasing was off but I don’t mean share your account – trust me, I know exactly how that’ll go and it’s not pretty! I just mean, like with Wunderlist, make a separate account for everybody, but make a few specific lists shared, so that everyone can access or see them. For example, we have a “grocery list” that anyone can update, and a “house projects” list that lets me update what needs to be done, and other people just check that.

So you could have (on either service!) a “Kid 1 Chores” and a “Kid 2 chores” list. Each would be set to share with only them, but you could update it and they could check it/complete tasks as they do them. That’s really the beauty of the tasks apps is how much you can do with shared lists. Otherwise you’re stuck logging in and out of accounts on every machine you use, and that’s no fun!

If you want to DM me your wunderlist config, I’ll see if I can help with it. I have no idea why else it might not be working.

Hi pyrosmiley,
thank you for the more detailed information. I’ll check that in the coming days. At the moment I’m busy with other things (including children’s birthday …).
I get in touch with the results.
