If you like the plugin, don’t forget me 
.
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!
me too 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?
The pluggin look well, but I'm using WPMU and I can't use …
okey, im sorry if this has been asked, i didn't see it. I installed this plug-in. I'm running 2.8.4 … but the menu item in the dashboard's sidebar, never shows up so I can't use the tool
What do I do? Thanks 
First
http://thomas-genin.com/projects/wordpress-task-m…
Are you using wordpress MU ? If so, it is not working with it !
I just installed this plug-in on wordPress 2.8.5 the Task Manager appears for me but when I click on New nothing happens
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 !
Hi! How do I remove/edit comments?
Hi, I just installed your plugin on the latest wordpress and php 5.3 and I received several deprecation errors, although this didn´t seem to effect the plugin so far. I had to switch off error reporting to get rid of these. The error pointed towards wp-settings.php, but the rest of wordpress works fine.
Also the download only contained one icon for comments and none of the others.
Thanks.
Just a note of appreciation,we can see how this will be a great help to us (donation on its way).
However: the download I got from wordpress.org doesn’t have anything in the img directory, just bubble.png. This means there are no tick boxes, check markes or Dashboard icon. WHere do I get them from?
Gary
Hi, Thanks !
I did a wrong thing when I update the plugin, update the plugin to see all the icons. BTW, the v2 of the plugin must be available before the end of the week.
@Malli
You can’t !
Hi Thomas,
Really love this plugin. Any update on when version 2.0 will be released?
Thanks
Paul
Look at this post, I just wrote it !
http://thomas-genin.com/wordpress-task-manager-2-0-preview/projectss/wp-task-manager/438
Thanks for your message, and feel free to give me feedback !
Good day! I am just writing to say that, though the current version of this plugin does not work for me at all (nothing gets added to my dashboard and the OPTIONS link from the plugin menu takes me to a page that says ‘you do not have sufficient permissions to access this page’), it looks like the only task manager that will function at all the way I want, so I am eagerly awaiting the new release and thank you
hi, with so much support, I will do my best !
This latest upgrade was a welcome surprise, the last version was a bit basic for me but this one is much better.
I have a couple of suggestions for future versions, if you’re interested:
* Some kind of hierarchical structure would be useful. Arranging tasks into projects and then allowing the nesting of tasks within tasks, within tasks.
* I find myself wanting to allocate a task to more than one person.
Excellent plugin, thank you very much.
One other thing, sorry. The ability to set view and edit permissions on individual tasks. And projects, of course, if you manage to get that far.
Hi,
The plugin is very interesting!
O’m currently using buddypress and would like to offer a task list to my members.
The only problem is that I want to be able to have an option to publish a private task that only the user and the poster is able to see.
Would that be difficult to implement?
Being able to send tasks only to your friends would be the ultimate productivity enhancer
My partner and I have really enjoyed using this plugin as we’ve developed our site/business over the last month or two. Today, as if from nowhere, all new comments fail to show up once posted. The number tally gets higher, the automatic email notification goes out, but it doesn’t show up in the comment thread. Have you, or anybody out there, encountered this issue before?
I’ve de/reactivated. Reinstalled. Deactivated other plugins. I am at a loss!
We really dig this plugin and hope we can continue to utilize it through, and beyond, our launch!
Synchronization with MS Outlook?
Output task as a widget on the homepage?
I installed this plugin and it does not work on my website. I go in the Task Manager page in the admin site and it shows nothing. After looking in my php error log, I have this :
[16-Jun-2010 10:06:15] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: filter_input() in /www/shared/web1033/pagesweb/wp-content/plugins/wp-task-manager/wp-task-manager.php on line 167
Great plugin, thank you for developing this! Hope with V2 you will integrate Twitter as a client which is used to assign tasks.. I would be happy to see that happening =)

Great plugin! A suggestion that would take this to the next level would be the ability to have recurring tasks, like daily, weekly, monthly, yearly.
Hello, Thomas. Quick question about your very good plugin — can I sort tasks by project? I need people to be able to see at a glance which task is associated with a particular project. Thanks for your help. Best, Val
no you can’t sorry
. I make this plugin as simple as possible and I do plan to update it. But thanks for your kinds words !
Does this work with WordPress 3.*? It says on the WordPress plugin repository that its compatible up to 2.8
I’m dropping the support of this plugin, so maybe it will work, but I will not fix any bug.
Sorry to hear you’ve decided to drop support of this plug-in.
Cheers
