  1. I work with consultants that are creating a cookbook. I assign recipes for them to test, including dates that they were assigned. They also need to complete the assignment in a certain amount of time. This is a great tracking tool! I would love for it to be able to show up in the sidebar so everyone can see what recipe is assigned to each person, when they were assigned and if they’ve been completed or not. Is it possible to have this show up in the sidebar so everyone can see, but only the administrator can complete the check off?

    Hello

    This is a very useful plugin.
    Does it have the functionality for when a task is created and assigned to someone else, they receive an email notification?

    For the future, a commenting system on tasks (with email notification when a new comment is added) would be great

    thanks

    I love this tool. I am having a bit of a problem though. I put in a task that is due in 2010 and it is not showing up in the manager. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    @Melanie
    My apologies…the problem was that I had not assigned it to anyone…not the date. So…GREAT TOOL!

    This plugin looks very promising!

    A feature I would want in the future is to have attachments to tasks and comments. So you can illustrate an advanced task with an image or you can request a file that someone else can upload through the system. It would also be good if you as the admin can select if you should allow attachments or not.

    Thank you for your efforts!

    Bonjour Thomas !
    . . . Dommage que ce superbe plugins ne soit pas prêt pour la traduction … Je l’aurais partagé rapidement avec des francophones… Et voilà, je n’ai pas actuellement le temps de trop bricoler, l’établi est débordant de tâches !
    Cordialement !
