[feature request] Option to Always add ALL projects to Bigboard Automatically.

[Jieiku]

Currently with bigboard you have to click Project selection. and you have to check the projects you want to add.

For our small team it would be excellent if there were an option that you could always include ALL projects in the bigboard selection automatically. Then we would not need to add them to the bigboard when new projects are created.

I know you are no longer developing bigboard. I am adding this feature request in the hopes that somebody else see this if they decide to fork and extend the bigboard plugin.

I would be happy with just a dirty hack like, edit this file and change this to this.... I have been trying to follow the logic in the code to find how to manipulate Bigboard so that it believe all projects are checked and just display them all, but so far all the edits I have tried have not worked.

well I got it done, but its super hacky. I could not figure out how to accomplish it through the php.

I wrote a shell script that it just adds project id 1 - 999 for however many users you define, below i have it setup for 4 users, make more if you need to. You may also need to adjust the line for connecting to your database.

nano allboards.sh

#!/bin/bash
rm /tmp/allboards.sql
for i in {1..999}
do
  echo "INSERT INTO bigboard_selected (user_id, project_id) VALUES (1, "$i");" >>/tmp/allboards.sql
  echo "INSERT INTO bigboard_selected (user_id, project_id) VALUES (2, "$i");" >>/tmp/allboards.sql
  echo "INSERT INTO bigboard_selected (user_id, project_id) VALUES (3, "$i");" >>/tmp/allboards.sql
  echo "INSERT INTO bigboard_selected (user_id, project_id) VALUES (4, "$i");" >>/tmp/allboards.sql
done
sudo -u www-data psql -U www-data kanboard < /tmp/allboards.sql

sudo chmod +x allboards.sh
./allboards.sh

The next thing I did was to make sure nobody accidently clears this, I removed the button for project selection:

sudo nano /var/www/kanboard/plugins/Bigboard/Template/board/switcher.php

delete these lines:

<li>
      <?= $this->url->icon('eye', t('Projects Selection'), 'Bigboard', 'select', ['plugin' => 'Bigboard', 'boardview' => 'active', ], false, 'js-modal-medium') ?>
</li>

Now as long as you dont make more than 999 projects you and the rest of your team should not have to bother with project selection all of the time.

If anyone figures out how to do this properly through the php files, with an option like always show all projects, that would very much be preferred.
