# OrganonTweaks -- umbrella plugin for small Kanboard tweaks A home for small, unrelated Kanboard adjustments that are not big enough to deserve their own plugin. Each tweak is self-contained; more will be added over time. If a tweak grows into a real subsystem it graduates into its own plugin (see PLAN-organon-tweaks-plugin.md). ## Tweaks ### Remove an empty column Adds a **Remove this Column** entry (trash icon) to a board column's header dropdown, next to the other column actions. It appears only when the column is completely empty -- no tasks, open or closed -- because Kanboard's column removal is a plain delete and a non-empty column would orphan its tasks. Clicking it asks for confirmation, then removes the column and returns to the board. - The menu entry is rendered by the `template:board:column:dropdown` hook (which sits outside the native menu list), then moved into the menu by `Asset/js/relocate.js`. - The empty check counts open and closed tasks via a helper (`Helper/OrganonColumnHelper.php`, `taskFinderModel->countByColumnId(...)`), since the board's own count is open-only. - Only users allowed to manage columns see it, and the controller re-checks both the permission and the emptiness before deleting. ### Always show the comment icon Kanboard shows the comment icon on a board card only once it has at least one comment, so adding the *first* comment means opening the card and finding the sidebar link. With this tweak on, a card with no comments shows a comment bubble with a **"+"** that opens the same comment modal, letting you add the first comment straight from the board. Cards that already have comments keep showing the count as before. - Rendered by the `template:board:task:icons` hook (`Template/board/task_comment_icon.php`), only when the card has no comments and the user may create one (so it does not show for read-only viewers). - **On by default.** Toggle it under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks". ## Settings Global (per Kanboard instance) and admin-only, under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks": - **Always show the comment icon on board cards** -- default on. ## Requirements - Kanboard >= 1.2.0 ## Installation Copy this folder into your Kanboard installation as `plugins/OrganonTweaks/`. The directory name must be exactly `OrganonTweaks` (Kanboard derives the plugin namespace from the folder name). No build step and no database migration. ## License AGPL-3.0. See LICENSE.
