Extension talk:Todo Tasks

Sites using this extension?
Any to have a look at to see how this works when implemented? --Dr DBW 01:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately our company wiki is behind a wirewall and is not accessible from the outside world. Perhaps someone else can post a link to their website? --Gri6507 11:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * What about a screen shot at least? I'm curious how it works.
 * Sorry it took me so long. I have updated the main extension page with 3 sample images. --Gri6507 02:08, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

User error
Changing $wgEmergencyContact email in LocalSettings.php causes email ability of Todo to no longer work. Any suggestions?
 * As long as $wgEmergencyContact is a string representing a valid email address (i.e. ), then there should be nothing preventing the email functionality from working. Are you saying that with your changes to $wgEmergencyContact, the wiki still works, but the email feature of the extension does not? --Gri6507 11:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply - I figured out the issue. The extension works as designed, it was my spam filter on our mail server that was the problem.  It blocked the changed email address. Thanks again!MotherSuperior 16:41, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Could it have i18n files
wiki/extension/todo/SpecialTaskList.php wiki/extension/todo/languages/todo_LanguageEn.php wiki/extension/todo/languages/todo_LanguageFr.php wiki/extension/todo/languages/todo_LanguageZh_tw.php wiki/extension/todo/languages/todo_Language........ And all you need todo is to write "todo_LanguageEn.php" ,the default language file, and make sure that a language file well be loaded based on which interface the user use.
 * Could Todo Tasks Extension has a file structure like followed:

Then everyone using a difference language would like to make a language file by editing "todo_LanguageEn.php" and post the file here.

Thank for your Great-extension.--Roc michael 01:09, 27 October 2007 (UTC)


 * This is an excellent suggestion. I made the extension capable of doing i18n things (see Extension:Todo Tasks. This was released under version 0.9.0. Please let me know how complete the i18n support is. Also, when you add translations for whatever language, please let me know so I could add them to the extension. Thanks! --Gri6507 01:48, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Some (fatal) issues
Looks like a promising extension but I had some problems. After install and applying the patches there was a fatal error: PHP Fatal error: require [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache2.2\\htdocs\\wiki\\extensions\\SpecialTaskList/../includes/SpecialPage.php' (include_path='C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache2.2\\htdocs\\wiki;C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache2.2\\htdocs\\wiki/includes;C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache2.2\\htdocs\\wiki/languages;.;C:\\php5\\pear') in C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache2.2\\htdocs\\wiki\\extensions\\SpecialTaskList\\SpecialTaskList.php on line 293

I changed line 293 from SpecialTaskList.php to "require_once ("SpecialPage.php" );". I got no PHP experience but now I can add and see new tasks. On special page "Task list" the task list is OK but the progress not. In Progress List for Mark P. %DPL-1.5.0-WAARSCHUWING: Geen resultaten! (This means: warning, no results!) Just cloning the todo templates was not enough. You've also got to replace "Todo" with "InProgress" in the template text.

Project select on special page "Task list by project" gives no results. Display button gives the next URL:
 * http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Speciaal:TaskListByProject?project=Project1&search=
 * When i delete "&search=" the result is good. How to change this in the extension? The query looks quite complicated.

How do I change the status to done?
 * I should make new templates "done" just like the templates "In progress", of course.

Can you help me out? Thanks --Mark P. 22:24, 27 October 2007 (UTC)


 * When not logged in (or as administrator) clicking on "my tasks" shows all the tasks. Maybe it's better when you see nothing then.

The templates themselves are shown as tasks when logged in as the user who first saved the templates. Unfortunate the new version did not solve my Task list by project problem. The internationalization is great! The only thing mising is translation for "In progress". --Mark P. 21:06, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
