I'm thinking it would be really convenient if there was a way for me to create a checklist of tasks that multiple users could check off. An example of how this could be used is when creating a new site for a client, we could create a list of tasks that need to be done before the site goes live, and every developer could check off their tasks after they are complete, so no duplicate work is attempted.

So, I'm wondering if there is already a module like this out there before I attempt to make one on my own. Does this seem like a worthwhile endeavor?

Thanks,
Jen

One custom solution could be having a custom "task" content type, using CCK to add a "completed" checkbox, and creating a Views listing that shows all uncompleted tasks. The editablefields module can expose certain fields, making it easy to mark tasks as completed without navigating to each separate task and editing it.

You could also use the Case Tracker module, which is probably your best bet. It has a lot of features (with more on the way, thanks to Anthony Oliver, a student during this year's Google Summer of Code) and is easier to set up than the combination of modules and custom content types and fields listed above.

There are the Todolist, Tasklist and Ajax Checklist modules, as well.

Thanks for letting me know about the Editable Fields module. This looks perfect for the issue I was talking about at the Boston meetup. Do you know of any modules that'll let you add new content on the fly? Maybe workspace?

The idea being that if I have a task list, I can just enter stuff into a field, hit enter and it's good to go in the view?

Hi,
just wondered if you ever got this figured out, because I have a similar setup that I am trying to decide how to get implemented... I have a somewhat custom setup with drupal 6, using CCK, Views and some other stuff to basically create a "client configurations" intranet site...

The company i work for does application service for clients and when we setup a client a lot goes into it, so I created a small drupal site to basically document the client configs from the "network administration" side of things... stuff like their A/D account and password for the SFTP service, their site production and development locations on the network, their IP addresses used for their development and production sites (internal and external IPs mind you), their SSL certificate information for the secure servers, the content switch configurations and other miscellaneous information... mainly all done with CCK and views. I am trying to figure out the best way to now implement some kind of "task" or "ticker" setup with each of these sections so that I can then create another generic page that allows me to see the percent complete for each client setup (node).

I am leaning toward putting an extra CCK field for every specific piece of information in the client configuration node that would basically be a "completed" checkbox that I could then do some interesting work with to build other pages to view the percent complete per client. Hope that makes sense... anyone have any ideas on the best way to get that part done with what I have mentioned?

Thanks in advance, I tell ya, the more I use Drupal the more I love it and want to use it!
