Is any module for managing Tasks for drupal 6.6?

aria_radmand - December 6, 2008 - 13:27

Hi [Sorry for my english].

I'm using drupal 6.6 as a great cms for our company internal portal.
and the problem is, there is a very required! feature that i couldn't find the suitable module to run it on our portal and that is a task manager.

I want to know if there is any module for managing tasks, that users can define tasks for themselves and for other users, and transfer their tasks to other users?

for example, a boss should can define a task and set a deadline time for it and transfer it to his/her employee and employees should can transfer the tasks to each other, or complete the task.

something like the Remember The Milk and even with more feature if possible.

and at the end, i'd be thankful if anybody post some links to some short and easy-to-learn documentation on learning how to write new modules for drupal 6.6.

thanks guys.

You could easily do this

You could easily do this with CCK and a little magic. Not sure if there is a 6 version but there is a 5 version: http://drupal.org/project/tasks - Maybe you could look at that module and see how it can be ported to 6.

With advent of cck these

With advent of cck this type of single purpose modules (is tasklist) seem to be going un-maintained.

This is pretty easy to do with cck, views, nodequeue, rules, and workflow modules. And it's much easier to get the exact behavior and workflow you want rather than trying to modify a canned module.

Thanks, but would you please explain a little more? that WHAT these modules do and HOW they can be used for my purpose?

The features of each module

WorldFallz - December 7, 2008 - 16:04

The features of each module are described on their individual project pages, but a quick summary would be:

cck: adds the ability to customize pages with different field types (select lists, radio buttons, check boxes, text fields, etc). You would use it to create the basic "task" type page with fields for assignedto, priority, description, status, etc.
views: allows you create various listings of pages according to specific criteria (ie all tasks assigned to user x, all open tasks, all closed tasks, all priorty 1 tasks etc). These lists can be blocks, pages, rss feeds, etc. They can have menu entries and/or tabs.
nodequeue: also makes node listings, but manually. Doesn't require a criteria. Users can randomly place tasks in different queues for their own reference.
rules: for creating conditional actions (i.e. whenever a priority 1 task is created send an email to a certain role, whenever an 'exchange' task is created, assign it to the email admin, etc.).
workflow: can be used alone or with the rules module. For creating state based workflows. may or may not be needed depending on whether or not your desired workflows can be created with just the rules module.

hope that helps....

I found tasklist, but it's

I found tasklist, but it's for 5.x, maybe somebody will convert it to 6.x: http://drupal.org/node/336508
If you looking for some external free task manager, I recommending Redmine (it's free).
