Issue Summary

Wow...this is a great module. I need to create 20 To Do Nodes and then have them assigned to my users upon the user's request (Example: User clicks on a button labeled "Start my To Do List now" OR the user clicks on a link and the user is taken to a page that states "Your To Do list has been started"). In addion, during this user "To Do list signup process" I would like to have the user enter a "start date" which all 20 of the nodes I've created will key off of (count down to) as in the following example...

The user enters date of "01/01/2011", submits their "Start my To Do List now" and...

  • The user's To Do Node #20 is due 20 weeks before 01/01/2011
  • The user's To Do Node #19 is due 19 weeks before 01/01/2011
  • The user's To Do Node #18 is due 18 weeks before 01/01/2011
  • The user's To Do Node #17 is due 17 weeks before 01/01/2011
  • The user's To Do Node #16 is due 16 weeks before 01/01/2011
  • ect.

Is this possible?

This is terrific work...I must find a way to make this work for my appplication.

Thanks!

In regard to assigning users "on the fly", there is this issue: #944726: Get only non-assigned to-do in view

I guess we could add a view field that returns the number of days left... It shouldn't be that complicated.

If you can provide a patch, I'd look into it.

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply Alexis. I am sorry to say that I do not have the coding experience to create patches. (

This functionality would certainly be of great benefit to me, and perhaps others. Seeing as I don't code, can you suggest any other alternative which might allow this functionality to be built Alexis?

Again, GREAT work you've done here. Thanks.

Q2U2,

Well... cash talks... 8-)

But seriously I don't have much time right now to add more features. I'll probably look into having a list of closed tasks and maybe a way to let users attach themselves to a To Do item. At some point...

Thank you.
Alexis
