This won't be exactly earth-shattering, but in playing around I might have a hackish workaround which may or may not be helpful...
- I took the taskjuggler org file example from here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php - I added these lines at the end (from here: http://www.taskjuggler.org/tj3/manual/index.html) export "FullProject.tjp" { taskattributes all hideresource 0 } <http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php>- I used taskjuggler-2.4.3 on the orgmode generated .tjp file to produce the "FullProject.tjp" - I pasted the reports definition from the tj3 tutoria file at the bottom of FullProject.tjp --- from http://www.taskjuggler.org/tj3/examples/tutorial.tjp - I then began some "tweaks" --- change all "plan: start 2010-xx-xx" in *milestones* to simply "start 2010-xx-xx" --- add an "end: 2010-xx-xx" to match the start of each milestone (they must be exact) --- removal of all references in the reports section to "plan delayed" --- removal of the phone contact info --- change from the report "AsCo.deliveries" to "accounting.milestones" Basically, I just kept running "tj3 FullProject.tjp" until the errors stopped :) Anyway, it wasn't *that* much to change. I looked into TaskJuggler quite a while ago and so I was slightly familiar with it and thought I'd tinker around. If org-mode picked up tj3 I'd be down. Without html gantt charts I don't think it has that much going for it so tj3 is pretty much a must for me as opposed to using the UI in 2.4.3. Perhaps my tinkering can help someone in their reworking of org-taskjuggler.el or to see how exporting and tweaking might make things usable in the meantime? I attached the tweaked "FullProject.tjp" file for examination. This contains the tweaked org export + tweaked report definition from the tj3 tutorial example that made a successful export to the html report files. Just run "tj3 FullProject.tjp" to see what is generated.
