Why this plugin ?
With some guys, I manage a website with a lot of contents. After some problems with our hosting and our previous website, we decide to to use Wordpress as a CMS. Wordpress is powerful and allow almost everything.
After we transfer everything to one site to the other, we start to get confuse. Have we update this picture on this page ? Which article need to be update ? …
We need to organize our work. Some project management websites exist. But they have many options, need a registration, are not always free, …
That’s why I decide to make a small plugin that’s allow to manage some tasks.
You can find all the functionnality on this page.
Installation
Simply unzip the file in the wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate it.
Other
The plugin is not over. I have a lot of things to improve.
- Improve the style ( actually it is ugly)
- Add the possibility to repeat a task every ….
- Add different translation of the plugin
- …
Thanks so much, I love this plugin!
Error occured!
Add task:
Assign To ERROR LIST OF USER EMPTY
Why?
@Paul Jr. : Thanks !
@pidorchuk :
Well I doing some research.
Normally the plugin make the liste of all the user with at least the status Contributor. It take all the Contributor, all the Author, all the Editor and all the Administrator to make the selectbox.
If you have this error that means that the plugin don’t found anything. It is very strange because there is at least one administrator.
Can you tell me if you have access to your database ? If yes, check if you a line with meta_key = wp_user_level in the table user_meta.
And have you change the prefix of the table ? Normally it works.
What is your Wordpress version ?
Any way thanks for letting me know.
Hi Thomas, bug « Assign To ERROR LIST OF USER EMPTY » happen in WPMU
Thanks for your message.
I never work with wordpress MU. It is the occasion. Let me some times to investigate.
There’s a bug on line 486. It assumes incorrectly that your table prefix is wp_.
To fix it change ln 486 to:
WHERE UM.meta_key = ‘ ».$wpdb->prefix. »user_level’ AND UM.meta_value >= 1
Also lines 371,372 reference wp_users:
Change to:
JOIN « .$wpdb->prefix. »users U1 ON T.task_creator = U1.ID
JOIN « .$wpdb->prefix. »users U2 ON T.task_to = U2.ID « ;
Additionally since the task_idDone field requires a non-null value, you must set task_isDone to zero when you create a record.
To do this modify Line 241:
‘task_dateTo’ => « $year-$month-$day »,
‘task_isDone’ => 0) );
.. Should work now!!
Thanks a lot. I didn’t know that these variable need to be call with the prefix.
What do you think about the plugin ?
Hey James, I’m using WPMU too and it seems that your proporsal pof change has been covered, but it still doesn’t work (same message: ERROR LIST OF USER EMPTY).
any other clue?
Hi Thomas,
after installing your plugin, i’ve seen this after click on the Button « new task »:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: filter_input() in /www/htdocs/awokit/wp-content/plugins/wp-task-manager/wp-task-manager.php on line 87
???
hi,
you are the second personn who told me about this error.
What version of PHP do you use ?
@Thomas
I use PHP version 4.4.7
Hey, Thomas, now it works
I have update PHP to version 5.2.6 Thank you for you help!!!
I was just writing my message to advice you to update.
The function input_filter is in PHP since 5.2.
I have to do a detection of the version of php before the activation !
Hey GREAT Plug!
This is something that has saved about 1 whole tree for me already
Seriously though, I have really cut down on misceallaneous note taking and typing into other « task » lists. Thank You SOOOOO Much.
I have a request if it is possible, I think would be helpful for you and everyone else:
When « Add Task », allow for option to « Add Another Task » once first task is successfully input.
As it is is really great, however, this will allow multiple addtions with less key stroke and mouse movement…Thanks for your consideration of this feature and hope all is well for you.
Hi,
thank you so much for your comment.
I’m sorry, I’m not so good in english, so I want to be sur that I have understand what you ask me.
You want that I add a link to create a new task in the message which appear after a creation ?
If it is that, it can be done very quickly.
@Thomas
I just updated and see that you added this
Thank soooooo much! This is really awesome…even more than it was.
Highly recommended and so easy to use.
Thank you again,
Jeremy
WPMU support yet?
Posted this elsewhere, but just realized that this was the main project page, so I’m reposting here:
Love the plugin, but I am having one issue…
The task manager is blank. I know that tasks are being created, because they appear in the dashboard widget. But, when I access the task manager, there is nothing there.
Any suggestions?
Currently using WP 2.8.6
Did you try to check the others tabs of the manager ?
This plugin is full of bugs :p
Congratulations on a very cool plugin! This was exactly what I was looking for!
I have some enhancement requests:
1. Please add a Priority field so tasks can be prioritized.
2. Please add an option to make the description field optional.
3. Please add an option to define priorities (e.g. High/Medium/Low or 1/2/3)
4. Please add the ability to include a URL with any task.
5. Please add the ability to include an attachment with any task.
6. Please add a Category field so tasks can be grouped together.
7. Please add a filter on the task list for category and priority.
I don’t ask for much do I – LOL!
Thanks again!
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your comment.
I’m working on a new version of the plugin, so all the things you ask will be add inside.
But be patient, beause I restart from scratch,.
Thomas,
I love your tasks plug in for WordPress. I was wondering if you could incorporate a ‘Save plus new’ button or ‘add plus new’ or something. Also, it would be really great if in the dash board when you clicked on a task the then the task could slide down and you could see the description. This way if you have special instructions you don’t have to go to manage and then edit to do this.
Keep up the great work.
Lovely plugin — hope you can make it work also by having the tasks emailed to the people where the tasks are assigned — or is this already part of the feature? I’ve tested it and i havent received the test task i’ve sent to myself
Hi,
thanks for your comment.
This normal, I choose to not send email to the guys who create the task because if you have create a task, you don’t need to get a notification !
But I can understand that some people wnats this feature. I add it to my to-do list for the next version !
