Hi everyone,

I am hoping that anyone can guide me in the direction of a module, which fits what I am looking for. I am running a news site where I have a team that can upload, edit news and publish depending on their role on the team. We need to have a list where every team member can see a list of things that needs to be covered. No one else than team members should see this list. Team members should then be able to tick a box saying that they will do that task and once a task is taken it will be displayed with that team members name next to it so that everyone knows who is responsable for that task. Once a task is done the person who completed the task should be able to now tick a box that says they have done it and then that task will disappear.

I have tried tasklist and task list advanced, but none of them had the option of team members picking tasks. Can anyone guide me in the right direction of a module that can do that?

Thanks in advance,

For 'teams' with private content, you'll probably want to look at the http://drupal.org/project/og module. Otherwise, you can do it with taxonomy. See Controlling Access to Content by Configuring Groups as Roles for more info (its for d5, but the concepts still apply).

Thank you. I've taken a look at it looks like they might be able to do what I'm looking for. But sooooo much more.

By now, I've also checked out the casetracker module which gets closer to what I want to do. The problem there though, is that - just like with the tasklist and tasklist advanced modules - each task is a Node and can be accessed by everybody. And that is absolutely not what I want.

So, if I can somehow say that all Project and Case content can only be seen by logged in users with a specific role or permission I think I sort-of have what I want.

Is there a quick and easy module to do that? I've looked at several, but either I'm blind or they only limit access per node - and not a whole content type.

A simple hook I can add into my theme or module could also help.

(btw; d5 is not a problem, the site still runs on that - would migrate, but there are still too many modules we use which are not ported)

Its the same answer as my previous comment-- og or taxonomy.
