Great little app, updates cleanly as opposed to Time Track. If you could just add the ability to hit a stop/start on a timer and have that auto-populate the ‘hours’ field in Sundial so we could then save the report to Basecamp, that’d make this the perfect and far more preferred app.

[...] Sundial – A simple dashboard widget that allows you to post entries to Basecamp, integrating with the time tracking functionality. This link points to a “fixed” version of the official widget. [...]

Ed: Thanks for catching that. We are still on updatelog.com, so I never noticed. I have patched the widget and posted a new version. I also fixed a few other bugs that were annoying me. For anyone editing their javascript you will want to add “basecamphq” rather than “basecamphq.com” to the regular expression for it to work properly.

I’ve noticed that this widget doesn’t work with .basecamphq.com addresses, which all basecamp instances are going to have soon.

All you need to do is ’show package contents’, open LocalResources/Library.js and add basecamphq.com to the isBasecampy function. The complete function looks like this:

isBasecampy = function (s) {
var pattern = /https?:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+\.(basecamphq.com|updatelog|clientsection|seework|grouphub|projectpath)\.com/i;
var test = s.match(pattern);
if (test) {
return test[0].toLowerCase();
} else {
return false;
}
}

Sure enough… gotta activate the API in Basecamp. Works like a champ now — thanks!
