Feature request: show total time spent per project/board about planka

[meltyshev]

Hello! Do you mean to show somewhere how much time has passed since the creation?

Hi! No, in this case I meant that the application can show the sum of all/the total hours/minutes/seconds spent in all tasks (where the timer has been used) for each project at least and ideally for each board. That would be pretty useful for me as a means of measuring/visualizing total effort or time investment. I wonder how possible or difficult it is to implement here.

This. We can click timers to start tracking time on a task, but there seems to be no way to see a total tally of all time spent on all tasks total in a project. This means I would have to manually add up the hours each time to know how many hours are left, if for example a client has paid for X number of hours.

I'm looking for this feature too, it could be very useful !
I have wrote a workaround, client side (in the browser JavaScript console).
Just paste this little script and hit Enter when you are on your cards-board view.

// Select all span elements with class starting with "Stopwatch_wrapper*"
var allTimers = document.querySelectorAll('span[class^="Stopwatch_wrapper"]');
// Initialize a sum variable
var sumInSeconds = 0;
// Iterate through each timers and sum up their text content
allTimers.forEach(function(timer) {
    // Extract the text content
    var timeString = timer.textContent;
    // Parse the time string into hours, minutes, and seconds
    var timeParts = timeString.split(":");
    if (timeParts.length === 3) {
        var hours = parseInt(timeParts[0]);
        var minutes = parseInt(timeParts[1]);
        var seconds = parseInt(timeParts[2]);
        // Convert hours and minutes into seconds
        var totalTimeInSeconds = hours * 3600 + minutes * 60 + seconds;
        // Add to the sum
        sumInSeconds += totalTimeInSeconds;
    }
});
// Convert the total seconds back to the hh:mm:ss format
var hours = Math.floor(sumInSeconds / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((sumInSeconds % 3600) / 60);
var seconds = sumInSeconds % 60;
// Output your sum 
console.log("Total sum = " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);

The output is like : Total sum = 2:47:30

Thanks, but I think this wouldnt show an entire project's hours, and instead show all the hours inside one board, correct?

Correct, it's the sum of all cards in the viewed tab, if you want a global sum for a project, just switch to the next tab, run the script, etc... and sum all results at end. Not perfect but better than nothing.
