Persian Project Management

Persian Project Management adds a complete project workspace inside the WordPress admin. It is built for Persian/Farsi teams: right-to-left layout, Vazirmatn typography, Jalali date pickers, and a Saturday-first work calendar — while dates stay Gregorian Y-m-d in the database for APIs and exports.

There is no frontend UI, no shortcode, and no Gutenberg block. Open مدیریت پروژه in the admin menu after activation.

مخزن وردپرس / گیت‌هاب: افزونه فضای مدیریت پروژه را داخل پیشخوان می‌آورد (پروژه، وظیفه، کانبان، تقویم شمسی، داشبورد و CSV). رابط فرانت، شورت‌کد و بلوک ندارد.

Why use it

• Stay in WordPress instead of a separate PM tool.
• Custom tables (ppm_projects, ppm_tasks) instead of posts, with explicit schema and dbDelta upgrades.
• Granular capabilities: view projects, manage projects, manage tasks (Administrator gets them on activation).
• Optional organization branding (logo, name, tagline) and per-screen background colors.

Dashboard

• User name and WordPress role.
• Quick search that opens the projects list.
• Shortcuts to projects, tasks, new project (if allowed), and team Kanban.
• KPI cards: all projects (including archived), active projects plus “created this month”, overdue (past end date), active projects without an owner, and a budget/spend card (fill via the ppm_projects_total_budget_display filter; otherwise it stays empty).
• Deadline alerts for projects ending in the next 7 days (overdue vs upcoming labels).
• Chart.js analytics: status distribution, active projects per owner (top 8), 12-month created vs completed trend, open vs closed tasks, plus average progress of active projects.
• Activity lists: your owned projects, recent open tasks, recently updated projects.
• CSV export of projects for managers.

Projects

• Create, edit, view, archive, delete (nonce-protected). Bulk archive. Unique slug from the title.
• Statuses: draft, planning, in progress, on hold, completed. Owner, start/end dates, progress 0–100, category, tags.
• Grid and list views (preference remembered in the browser). Grid cards show #PRJ-xxx, status, a five-step progress visual, progress bar, owner, due date.
• Search by title. Filters: status, category, owner (including unassigned), end-date range, archived / not archived / all. Sortable columns. Open-task count. Screen option for rows per page (default 20).
• Row actions: view, tasks, edit, archive, delete, copy edit link.
• KPI strip and deadline alerts on the projects screen as well.
• CSV export (UTF-8 with BOM, current filters, up to 5000 rows): id, title, status, owner, dates, progress, category, tags, archived.
• Deleting a project also deletes its tasks.

Project notebook (new / archive / resources)

• Multi-step new project flow: identity, five PM phases (initiation → closing) with Jalali pickers, team members with optional role labels, logo and brand colors, media attachments.
• Save as draft (untitled drafts allowed) or confirm and create. Empty start/end dates can be filled from phase dates.
• Archive notebook: browse archived projects, search, pagination, link to the filtered table.
• Resources notebook: WordPress users who can view or manage projects (avatar, role, email).
• View-only users see read-only summaries of extended fields on the project screen.

Tasks

• Hidden tasks screen (linked from dashboard, project rows, Kanban, calendar). Filter by project.
• Quick add (title + optional due date) when a project is selected.
• Open / closed, Kanban column, optional due date. Close or delete with nonces. 20 rows per page.

Team Kanban

• One board of open tasks across non-archived projects.
• Up to 12 columns (keys, titles, per-column quick-add). Defaults: waiting, in progress, review. Removing a column moves its open tasks to the first remaining column.
• Drag and drop (jQuery UI Sortable + AJAX). Click a card to edit title, project, and due date, or delete.
• Quick-add composer per column: project, title, due date.
• Cards show project tag, project progress, due date, link to that project’s tasks.
• Optional backdrop: solid color, image, or image with a color overlay. Reset from Settings.
• Users who can view the board can move/edit/delete cards. Saving column layout requires manage-tasks. GET fallbacks exist if JavaScript is blocked.

Work calendar

• Merges project date ranges and open task due dates.
• Jalali or Gregorian month view (preference remembered). Iranian week: Saturday first.
• Previous / today / next month, type filter (all / projects / tasks), project filter.
• Day details sidebar, color legend (in progress, planning, overdue project, task, overdue task).
• REST: GET /wp-json/ppm/v1/calendar-events (from, to, optional project_id, types). Permission: ppm_view_projects. Admin-ajax fallback ppm_calendar_events when REST or permalinks are awkward.
• Backend storage remains Gregorian Y-m-d.

Settings

Three tabs (saving requires manage-projects; viewing the screen requires view-projects):

1. Sidebar — show/hide the in-plugin nav per screen; logo (Site Icon / WordPress logo fallback); organization name; tagline.
2. Kanban — board background color and image; reset.
3. Screens — #wpbody-content background per plugin admin page; clear all colors.

A brand banner (logo + name + tagline) appears across plugin screens.

Security

• Capabilities: ppm_manage_projects, ppm_view_projects, ppm_manage_tasks.
• Nonces on forms, AJAX, and CSV export. wp_ajax_* only (no logged-out AJAX). REST calendar requires a logged-in user with view permission.
• Attachment IDs and user IDs are validated. Hex colors sanitized. Redirects use wp_safe_redirect.

Developers

• Filter ppm_projects_total_budget_display — string/HTML for the budget KPI (empty = dash / “connect finance”).
• REST namespace ppm/v1, route calendar-events.
• AJAX: ppm_calendar_events, ppm_kanban_move_card, ppm_kanban_save_card, ppm_kanban_delete_card.
• Options include ppm_db_version (schema 1.3.0), ppm_kanban_column_layout, ppm_kanban_appearance, ppm_sidebar_screens, logo/name/tagline, ppm_screen_backgrounds.
• Text domain: persian-project-management. Domain path: /languages. Default UI strings are Persian.

Not in this release

• Team and Reports admin menus are placeholders.
• No frontend, shortcode, or block.
• No built-in finance/budget storage (display filter only).
• No uninstall.php: deactivation does not drop custom tables or options.
