Damn!! this looks so cool. I could definitely use this capability however I keep getting an “unsupported response_type_ error when trying to install even though I get the successful added page :( Error URL
 

Any suggestions? Can it get added to the Miro Apps Store

Hey @Yash , great work, well done!

Some feedback, just like you asked for :wink: :

  • do you think this plugin covers same use case as built-in conversion functionality?
  • It is recommended to use context menu for actions that are possible only with selected object, you can find more info here
  • it would be cool to convert several objects into 1 card, that’d be definitely a new feature. Like, first: title, then: description, rest: tags. What do you think?

Hi @Boris Borodyansky! 

Thanks a lot for checking it out and awesome feedback as well.:grin:

 

I completely missed that.:sweat_smile: I was under impression that this conversion is only supported for one sticky each. Anyway, this is conversion, what cardsy does is generation. As Kiron mentioned, some user might want to keep the original widgets on the board and want to generate cards to use somewhere else. i.e. keeping the “brainstorm” section of board intact but adding them into kanban.

  • It is recommended to use context menu for actions that are possible only with selected object, you can find more info here

 

That was my original intent too, since it requires some objects to be selected, the plugin should be visible only if user has selected some objects. However, when I tried using the `widgetContextMenu` as extension point, I kept running in following error. So had to reluctantly keep it in `bottomBar`. What could I be doing wrong? let me know.

Very Interesting, that does sound cool, I am not sure of use case, but that definitely is cool. It would depend on use case what user want to keep as title of card, description, and tags. we could try asking user if they want to generate all cards or merge the info in one card (in this same plugin or different). Yep. this is really interesting. Guess I wanna build it.:sweat_smile:

Thanks, @Boris Borodyansky!

Posting the working solution here for till docs updates.

extensionPoints: {
 getWidgetMenuItems: async (widgets, editmode) => {
 return [
 {
 tooltip: <tooltip>,
 svgIcon: <icon>,
 onClick: <function>,
 },
 ];
 },
 }

hi, does this still work?

Eddie Zhang

@Vaughn Marles yup I confirm that this plugin still works for me. Are you have any difficulty with it?

yes doesn’t work, and then can’t reinstall

looks like it should link to: 

 [LINK REMOVED BY @Robert Johnson] - latest install link can always be found on the Cardsy landing page:

https://cardsy.yashbhalodi.me/

Which link did you use to install? There are some outdated links in the thread. This is the correct one I think? [LINK REMOVED BY @Robert Johnson] - latest install link can always be found on the Cardsy landing page:

Very silly questions, but did you select on some objects first in your board before clicking the icon? The icon won’t do anything unless you have selected an object.

Thanks Eddie for your help!!

Yes I click on the central node in a mindmap, then I click on Cardsy

@Vaughn Marles - Cardsy does not currently work on mind map objects - it used to in Web SDK 1.0, but not in 2.0. So, Miro recently released CRUD mind map (ability for developers to manipulate mind map objects using Web SDK 2.0) in an “experimental” release, but there is currently a bug. As soon as the bug is fixed, someone may update Cardsy to work with mind map nodes again. I will update this post when I hear more.

Official page for Cardsy (with install link):

The feature I am referring to is for developers using the We SDK.

@Yash - Thanks for accepting @Vedran‘s pull request!

I have pinned your most recent reply, removed the link from my last reply, and I also went through every reply with an install link and changed the links to point to the Cardsy landing page → https://cardsy.yashbhalodi.me/

Let me know if there are any other changes you would like me to make.

Hey, @Boris Borodyansky!

Now that CRUD mind map (experimental) is possible, Cardsy does something that is not natively possible in Miro: Creating a new object from a mind map node. This has long been a source of frustration for me. Here’s my most common use case: Brain storm using a mind map and convert mind map nodes into Cards for syncing with a Jira project. And with Miro AI now here, I have been using mind maps even more was was constantly having to copy the text of a node and pasting in into a Card – once is fine, but doing that ten times… 😣
