[edit] What can this extension do?
Semantic Tasks is an extension to MediaWiki that works in conjunction with another extension, Semantic MediaWiki, to provide email task notifications and reminders.
Semantic Tasks was developed for the Creative Commons internal task- and project-tracking system ccTeamspace.
[edit] Usage
- Notification emails are sent when a page is saved. The system looks for the [[Assigned to::*]] and the [[Carbon copy::*]] property.
- Reminders emails. The system looks for the [[Reminder at::*]] and the [[Target date::*]] property. It then send reminders to the assignees. You must run a cron job once a day to execute the reminder script.
[edit] Installation
- This extension only works with Semantic MediaWiki version 1.2 or later.
- Extract the archive to obtain the directory "SemanticTasks" that contains all relevant files. Copy the directory "SemanticTasks" to "[wikipath]/extensions/".
- Insert the following line into the file LocalSettings.php:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/SemanticTasks/SemanticTasks.php" );
- run a cron job once a day to execute the reminder script :
edit your crontab file:
$ crontab -e
add the following line to execute the script every day at 12:
0 12 * * * php extensions/SemanticTasks/ST_CheckForReminders.php
[edit] Description
- After a task creation, people assigned to the task and people following the task receive a "New Task" mail. The mail contain the task text.
- After a task edition, people assigned to the task and people following the task receive a "Task Updated" mail. The mail contains a diff of the modification.
- The editor of the task doesn't receive a mail after his edit.
- If the edit is a minor edit, no mail is sent.
