It would be REALLY cool if to-dos would show in the calendar when the event module was enabled. That would allow to-dos to be shown along side events, and exported to iCal format.

I don't know enough about the event module yet to know whether how this would work. It might be possible to piggy-back on the even date mechanism, or it might require a to-do rewrite, which would make it dependant on event.module. Obviously the latter would be a major disadvantage, however there would be other major advantages, such as not having to handle the date mechanism (reducing duplicated work), and also working with the date-picker jquery module.

I'll try to do some more research and see what's feasible

We can always check whether the module is installed with module_exists(). That would be cleaner than forcing users to have to install event.

Also, I wanted to allow users to enter a time at which the to do has to be completed at.

Thank you.

naught101,

I quickly checked out the event module. Great module. If it were to work. Does not work at all for me.

So, you'd first have to fix that other module before I'd even remotely consider having it part of one of my website!

Now, maybe we could just rip-off the calendar functionality?

Thank you.
Alexis

Wow. Event is only of the oldest and most stable modules I know of. That's amazing that it doesn't work for you.

I think it would definitely be best to be able to show events and to_dos in the same calendar, however, it would also be cool to have a calendar function event if event were not installed. I'll look into it.

I got a few E_NOTICE on installation, and then 2 pages on creating an event. Then the event had the wrong date/time info...

It probably does not support PostgreSQL. Many people do it wrong in that regard... Just a guess.

Also, it could be simpler to add a priority to the Event system rather than adding support from here. From what I see they offer yet another node type!?

Thank you.
