Export all open task to a specific email

[korlikiangel]

Hi,

It would be very helpful to be able to backup open tasks to a .csv file sent to a specific email.

Currently I have to do this manually by Exporting and saving the file on my computer. An automatic action that would send such a file to an email would significantly improve the quality of work.

Additionally, is it possible in such a solution that exported file would contain metadata?

I wrote a similar request on kanboard's github, but I see that this plugin already contains part of that solution I wrote about earlier.

I dont see why either of those things wouldn't be possible. I wouldn't add all said things to this plugin tho. seems very specific of a task more closely related to metamagik since that's really the only place one would likely care about metadata, and MetaMagik already has a custom built export function to include custom fields.

one specific to just exporting to csv and then mailing would make more sense as an additional action here, but for those without metamagik, it would be confusing to include generic metadata, I don't even do that in metamagik.

such an action would function based on the export function, so simply having metamagik installed, would change the csv export to include the custom fields as it already does.

I would have to be really bored one day, to do this tho. dont take this wrong, but the only reward for any of this, is personal satisfaction and hope that someone might hit the donate button, which rarely happens. there are a lot of things more rewarding for my time these days.

also, not seeing "attachments" as having ever been addressed in Kanboard core. It uses Swiftmailer, which is capable of adding attachments, but if you go through the core mailer transport, there is no way to do it, since the parameter for it is non existent:

so you would have to build your own mailer with the parameter for attachments added (or add an update to kanboard core). again, doable, but for this plugin, it is really only meant to be an action pack, containing basic actions, there would be a lot of "things" that would need to be added, to make this even work, things that i wouldn't put into this plugin of simple actions.
