Hello People,

I have installed a local copy of Drupal 6.17 using xampp and set up the database in phpmyadmin.

I am about to start developing a group collaboration CMS which basically allows members of staff to create a task and then assign that task to another member of staff and then allow comments to be posted on the task.

I am fairly new to Drupal and have only ever used Drupal with Ubercart to develop a dummy e-commerce website.

Please could anyone recommend any modules which are used with drupal 6.17 that will enable me to develop a task/job management website?

Your information would be greatly appreciated for a Drupal newbie.

Thanks

Marc

Hi!
I'm also looking for such a module but so far, I haven't found anything that suites my needs. :-( Maybe someone will post something interesting here.

To be able to manage tasks/projects, I use CCK ( http://drupal.org/project/cck ) and Views ( http://drupal.org/project/views ) modules. The first one to create a new node type I called 'task' with custom fields that exactly suites my needs (for instance 'priority', 'project', 'status',...). The second one to display task list in various way (list of tasks in a table with sortable columns, tasks displayed in a calendar, filtered lists,...). So far, it does what I need but I had to also use other module for CCK fields. What I would also need is a "mailler" feature to send me reminder e-mails before dead-lines. I think I can achieve that using the rules module ( http://drupal.org/project/rules ) but it requires some personal work (i.e. write my own PHP code to do the job)...

So if you're looking for a solution straight out of the box, that's not what you're looking for but if you have specific needs and don't fear to spend a little time configuring a new node type and a couple of views, then that's a good solution.

PS: maybe you should have a look to this module: http://drupal.org/project/support
and this one: http://drupal.org/project/storm

The Storm module has been renamed to Project Management - and a Drupal 7 version is in the pipeline.
