A 'to do' list using views with updating a check mark

mitoman - December 15, 2008 - 16:34

There may be a better place to ask this, but everything I have found thus far is about tasking out things that need to be done as part of upgrading modules, or corporate tasks which I can't figure out how to apply to my situation.

I'm just looking for a way simple 'to do' list for myself to remind me of things I need to get done-similar to 'tasks' with microsoft outlook or something similar.

So I set up a content type with cck field "completed" which is a check box. I can add content, such as "call john" or "go shopping" or "update budget" or something.

I know how to get views to list all my content and organize it so I can see a list of the things I want "to do".

So my question is, can I expose the "completed" check box in my view. So I can have my list of items, and next to them my check box that I can click off when I've finished that task. Then have a way to save it at the bottom, so then when i reload the page the content that is checked off is gone (by having the appropriate filters in my view).

Right now I can only click on the title of the task, then edit it, then click the box, then save it, then reload the to do page. But I can only do one at a time which is a hassle.

So is there a way to edit multiple nodes in views and save them all together?

I hope that made sense, i'm not great at explaining these things.

Thanks everyone for the help

So maybe an easier way to say this is

can I use views to edit multiple nodes at the same time? then save them all as a group. so list all the fields i'm interested in, then edit them (which i don't know how you can edit using views) then save all those changes?

is that possible?

I'm also interested in such
