Adding a new To-Do with a question-mark in the text (at the end) generates a strange error. I get a browser error saying the server is not available.
it seems to be sensitive to other words and/or phrases being entered as well. You probably need to make sure the text in the edit box is properly quoted.
Sometimes this will just go out-to-lunch when adding or editing an item. It’ll take 10+ seconds to return, and sometimes it’ll show that same browser error. (I’m on WP 3.0.2 on a Linux box.)
an inline editor (a la “Quick Edit”) would be handy.
Hi,
this is exactly what I’m looking for.
I’m using the latest WP (3.0.2) and it’s great BUT I can’t figure out how to display the list of things that are “done” without a table.
I get the list of things to-do with bullets and I get the title of things that are done, but none of the items will display.
This is what I have :
[todolist title="To Do list:" type="list" completed_title="Done:" completed="show" list_type="ul"]
Help????
I’ve fixed a bug that was causing that. Your code should work now.
Wow, great !! Thanks for the quick support/reply/solution
!
As some of the other users have mentioned, I would also support the idea of a front end view allowing users to add and manage their own to do lists privately rather than going to the back end to do it. Thanks!
I’m experiencing the same thing as Jazoja … had to go into the files and rename the Cleverness To-Do List folder to get my site to work again…
Auto updated to version 2.2.6.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/iszkaszentgyorgy/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cleverness-to-do-list/cleverness-to-do-list-functions.php on line 45
The possibility to edit the from & subject fields in e-mail should be great.
When the Blog name is very long, it’s not really pretty.
Is there the ability for the to-do-list to respect say a clickable hyperlink in the to do list description? When I make a new to do list item, I want to put a weblink in the text of it. I tried html and it didnt seem to take, anyone else have any ideas?
This is fixed, I was on V2.2 when I wrote this, V 2.2.2 or later includes the ability to put html in the to-do-list comments and works fine.
I receive “There was a problem adding the item to the database.” when trying to add an item.
Do you happen to be a Windows server? Someone else has informed of a problem on theirs.
If not, and you are able to look at the database, check that all the tables and fields that should be there are there. You can see what they should be in cleverness-todo-list-functions.php, near the bottom.
If they’re all correct, please give me some information about your WordPress version and PHP version, and also let me know if this is a new install or it started occurring after an update.
Windows server. Looking at the database, all three tables were correctly created. PHP version is 5.2.3. WP version is 3.0.1.
This is a new install of the plugin.
New bit of information: I am not sure whether I simply missed it before or not but the following appears at the top of the screen when trying to add values:
WordPress database error: [Out of range value adjusted for column 'assign' at row 1]
INSERT INTO `wp_SM_todolist` (`author`,`status`,`priority`,`todotext`,`assign`,`deadline`,`progress`,`cat_id`) VALUES (’1′,’0′,’1′,’test’,”,”,”,’0′)
I’ve also seen this with progress instead of assign when I tried assigning ToDo items. Is the table set to accept nulls?
One more twist, if I enable assign task and show progress, then I can add tasks but if either of those options are disabled I get the error message I posted earlier.
Thank you for all the info. I’ve made an attempt at fixing the problem in the newest version, although I don’t know if it will work.
Using default settings:
WordPress database error: [Out of range value adjusted for column 'assign' at row 1]
INSERT INTO `wp_SB_todolist` (`author`,`status`,`priority`,`todotext`,`assign`,`deadline`,`progress`,`cat_id`) VALUES (’1′,’0′,’1′,’test’,”,”,”,’4′)
Changed assign to users to YES
WordPress database error: [Out of range value adjusted for column 'progress' at row 1]
INSERT INTO `wp_SB_todolist` (`author`,`status`,`priority`,`todotext`,`assign`,`deadline`,`progress`,`cat_id`) VALUES (’1′,’0′,’1′,’test’,'-1′,”,”,’4′)
Show progress set to YES
Item added as expected. Note that I do not have to actually assign any progress nor do I have to assign to a user. So it functions well as expected once I set assign to user and show progress to YES.
Plugin v 2.2.5
v2.2.7 works like a charm, thank you!
Hey, thanks for adding the ability to show only individual lists on the frontend with the shortcode.
But is there a way I can still assign tasks to users?
Right now, no. It’s only in group view you can do that. I think I may be able to change it fairly easily. I’ll have to check it out.
Thanks for adding it, you rock!
I can’t seem to make the front=end private by user access only. I have it set to the individual list, so it should only show each user their own tasks correct? Any suggestions?
By front end, do you mean using the widget or shortcode? If so, it will show all items.
What I mean is that when I place the shortcode, for the frontend view, the group list is showing up even if I’m not logged in. I checked off the option to show each user ‘only their own list’ but it’s showing the whole list….
Any Suggestions?
I added a possibility to sort the Items on Assigned person btw:
<option value="assign">
Add that piece of code in cleverness-to-do-list-options.php on line 84. Ive added it in version 2.1.5 on wordpress 3.0.1
Hope its usefull.
I received your email with the full code. Thanks for it, I’ll look into adding it in the next version.
Im using your plugin on a local site (so not on a published site) and i am having a problem with the mailing:
i’ve implemented a SMTP mailing protocol so it can send mail via an excisting domain, except i dont recieve the mails from this plugin when i assign a To do item.
Is there a way to make it compatible with this plugin: http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/configure-smtp/
?
Thanks in advance
Do you happen to use any other plugins on that site that also send mail and do work?
I’ll need to look into how other plugins handle mailing things.
I’ve looked and I’m using the wp_mail() function, which seems to be the correct way to do it.
I do believe that would be the correct way to do it.
The problem is that i still dont get my assigned to-do items mailed to me.
I know my mail system works because i do get a summary of created posts every day in my mail. This is done via this plugin:
http://subscribe2.wordpress.com/
I hope that might help.
In the latest version, I’ve added some new error messages. Let me know what message is returned when you try to email an item. That will help me narrow down where that function is failing.
Ive updated to 2.2.5, and the announcement it gives me when i add the to-do item is: The email failed to send to the assigned user. New To-Do item has been added.
And i am still able to send mail via any other plugin …. I hope it helps.
hey there
I need this plugin to have edit/complete/add from front end.
Can you tell me what exactly to do?
I mean, programming-wise, as I have to use it for myself as well and probably help you as well?
I must confess I dont know buddy press plugins at all and have no idea what is it to do
can you tell me in short what it is to be done and which file to affect?
I don’t know how easy it will be, as it’s designed to work from the backend. The files you would need to edit are the functions file, and then add new code for a shortcode or widget for the frontend to display and call the functions for adding/completing.
I sent you a private e-mail, but here is a request in the comments.
I like your wordpress to-do plugin. I would like the ability to give every user (like the group settings) the same to-do list, but let them check off there progress, without it effect the global to-do list. basically, as admin I want to make a “master” list, that gets sent to each user, and they can check off the progress of that list, without it changing or updating anyone eases list except for theirs.
I would like it to also respect all of your current permission settings. My idea is this, I would like to have my master list, and I only give the users permissions to check the items to finished and thats it. every users goes through the list at there own pace, and that list is only editable by them (they can check stuff to done). If I wish to add stuff to the master list, it will also add it to each users list. Let me know if this is possible.
Hi Cindy, have you given any thought of incorporating your To-Do plugin into Buddypress, so that to-dos can registered in the activity stream, show up on individual member pages and have a front-end to-do editor to add a new to-do, edit existing to-dos, and mark a a to-do completed, all without having to go into the admin?
Would be a killer feature.
That’s an interesting idea. If I were to ever implement it, I would probably make it into it’s own plugin.
Hello,
thank you for the wonderful plugin. I use it as a group To-Do-List and assign tasks to group members. The Dashboard shows this very pretty. The widget though doesn’t seem to show the person who got the task assigned. I tried different settings with no success. The widget shows category, task description and progress. Not the person.
I am running the P2 theme on Wp3.0.1 on Apache server PHP5.3. Any idea where I should look for debugging?
Again my warm thank’s for the good work.
I will try to check out the code soon to make sure all is correct in it.
It was a typo in the code that I have now fixed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Hi Cindy,
Thank you very much for this very useful plugin. I love it!
I will try to create a dutch translation for you some time in the next few weeks.
I have one small (tiny) issue I’m running into:
When I try to save changes to the settings, I get a ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.’ message.
URL – http://mysite/wp-admin/admin.php?page=cleverness-to-do-list-options%3Fpage%3Dcleverness-to-do-list-options&updated=true
The changes in the settings *are* saved correctly, so there’s no problem there. It is just strange to get that message when all should be fine.
Login in with admin rights.
WordPress v 3.0.1
Plugin v 2.1.3
Thank you
I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue, but will keep in mind that it’s happening when I next work on the plugin.
Would like the option to hit “return.” instead of listing everything in one big line.
Also the ability to recognize links and add an href automatically would be nice.
Hi. I’m using the plugin on a couple of other sites with no problems at all and find it very useful. However my new install is not adding todos and giving me the following message: “There was a problem adding the item to the database.”
I’m running WordPress Version 3.0.1, PHP Version 5.2.10and mySQL Version 5.1.38-community.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
I’m unable to test on those exact PHP and mySQL versions, but on PHP 5.3 and mySQL 5.1.39 and WP 3.0.1, it is working correctly on a new install for me.
Have you tried deactivating, deleting, and then reinstalling the plugin?
The problem may be it isn’t creating the database tables needed.
Same problem over here. I tried deactivating, deleting, and then reinstalling the plugin with no success. I also tried editing the default task and I get “There was a problem editing the item” when I try saving. Categories can be created though. WordPress 3.0, PHP 5.2.13 and mySQL 5.0.51.
Well, that is odd. It must be creating the tables if the default item is there. And with categories working okay…
I’ll need to take a look at the code that adds and edits tasks.
First, let me thank you for the wonderful plugin. I love how simply it works and I also enjoy the clean look of it.
I have installed it on recup-o-jouets.com and it is working without a problem. The domain is on an Apache server running MySQL 5.0.90, PHP 5.2.13 and WordPress 2.9.2.
The server I mentionned previously is running on windows server 2003, I had to painstakingly setup quite a few things manually on it to have wordpress work. I would tend to blame my server setup for the plugin failure but wouldn’t know what to tweak to fix it.
Two things that could improve the plugin: typing an apostrophe in a task description adds a backslash to the final text when the item is added. Also, it would be an added bonus if it was possible to assign a task to multiple users at once.
Thanks for the quality work.
I just want to add that when I mentioned Windows Server 2003, I meant 2008. Also, one strange thing I noted, and I don’t know if it is related to my other problem, there is no “assign to” user list field when I create a new task or edit the default task. I went and checked the wp_todolist DB with phpmyadmin and there is an “assign” column, but it is “NULL”.
First off, great plugin! I have a problem with backslashes being added to apostrophes in the item box. ie: when I type “I’m” it displays it as “I\’m”
Also, I was wondering if you plan to let users assign “unassigned” items to themselves (and only themselves).
I am using it as a queue system. An admin post to-do items unassigned, which all users can see. I would like authors to be able to “check off” that they want it. Then, it gets assigned to them, which only they (and the admin) can see. All other authors can only see unassigned posts and posts assigned to them. Thanks!
Thanks for the bug notice. I’ll try to get that fixed soon.
That’s an interesting feature possibility. I’ll look into, but August is looking pretty busy at the moment.
