Wekan / General · March 19, 2020 at 7:59pmWhen you add or delete a card, or if you add or delete a swimlane you get a webhook payload regardless of how the integration was registered. If you use universal webhooks (not the one assigned by a board specific integration) you probably get a webhook showing you created a board. Either way you do get a board deletion webhook if you built that board through the api and added an integration.
But for some reason there are NO webhooks for any changes you make. If you rename a card or rename a swimlane or rename a board, you get silence. I tried tracking and watching options and still nothing. LMK if I am doing this wrong, please.
So if I cannot track the user making changes I would need instead to prevent the user from making changes I cannot track through a web hook.
I have run into this issue editing (PUT) through the api. There are not editing functions through the api to rename some things or coloring things. Simple solution was just to change things in Mongodb to rename a board or a swimlane or card or add or change a color in a swimlane.
But the reverse is not as easy. Unless I capture changes to mongo as events there is no easy solution to not getting a webhook back on a user change of something simple. If you add card NP. if you edit a card no go.
So to lockout changes...... are there methods to do that? I see many true/false values that are in the database (no that you can always edit them through the api), but if you change mongo values you can change what the user is permitted to do in the GUI with the boards?
allowsSubtasks": true, "allowsAttachments": true, "allowsChecklists": true, "allowsComments": true, "allowsDescriptionTitle": true, "allowsDescriptionText": true, "allowsActivities": true, "allowsLabels": true, "allowsAssignee": true, "allowsMembers": true, "allowsRequestedBy": true, "allowsAssignedBy": true, "allowsReceivedDate": true, "allowsStartDate": true, "allowsEndDate": true, "allowsDueDate": true,
Can I, and if so, what do I change to prevent users from renaming things that do not give you webhooks?
Thanks

Current web UI. Changing settings works, but actual settings still need fixes so that they would not disable all.
But I'm still thinking, is there some more general use case

I have no intention of permiiting or in any way dealing with users creating boards
But I can capture added swimlanes to and existing board or adding cards to an existing swimlane. I tested those webhooks and the work. so I can create my own remote objects that match to the construct of a swimlane and a card.
But there are many missing PUT routines in the api that let me edit things. The way I have solved that is to use an ssh connection to mongo. Please note that if you add attriubutes to boards like you said and the the POST route does not permit adding those then I either have to use a PUT routine or use mongo to modify the attributes on those boards to block certain features.
Hmm OK you mean more PUT routines
anything else is great but not required
if I edit something in the GUI and there is no webhook then I do not have a solution to keep systems in sync
so the only thing essential now is to prevent users from manipulating things in the GUI that doe not webhook. Which is renaming or cards and swimlanes or Boards
the PUTS would be nice but I can work around that Lauri
Thank you again
no PUTs on the api side and no webhooks on the other side
look eventually we will have everything. but until that great day just being able to turn off users from messing with stuff we cannot track is a great solution
I think even if all the webhooks and PUTS were there its still powerful letting the admin or programmer decide what you can and cannot do in the GUI
you agree?
:)
Well, maybe when I figure it out. Currently that disabling does not work yet and that code is not yet in Wekan. I'm making new Wekan release with other changes that already work.
It depends on each day which changes and features are ready. I do release new Wekan version about once a day.
Or once a month, or something in between.
