The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

Using on Joomla 1.5, and it is awesome. The only glitch is that the instructions say to "publish to the cpanel", when it fact you should publish to "Quick Icons". This will display the todo list on your main joomla admin location, a very useful location. If you select "Publish to menu" the todo list will be displayed above the menu going across the whole screen. Not where I wanted it to be, but others might find that trick useful.

I like this a lot. It's a good way to keep track of the changes that have been made and those that need to be made. Just be sure to go to the "Administrator" tab in the Module Manager to enable the module and configure it as described above. Works fine.

K2Joom is pleased to be using Foola To Do on our site to help make reminders for tests, tempaltes, extensions etc that we wish to carry out and for just about anything else we think of and need reminding about.

Install, Enable, Publish to Cpanel position and there it sits patiently waiting and displaying it reminders.

We have used this with Joomla 1.5.12 and various Admin templates

We recommend this.

Does what it says.
There was a conflict with quick item lite: add item created a box with new material for the front-end.
I just deleted the QIL and it worked OK.

I installed it and follow instructions... nothing works !
I use Joomla 1.5.20 and the last version of this Module (1.5.2.0).

No help on their site, no forum, only a empty FAQ.

I installed it on Joomla 1.5.20. After follwing the installation instructions it works nicely for me and my remote fellow administrator. Simple and easy to use.

I was looking forward to a simple todo manager to help me keep track of my projects.
This module seemed to be exactly what I was looking for, but I was unable to ever get it to work.

I installed the module and moved it to the top position in cpanel and I cannot seem to add any entries.

I have Search Engine Friendly URLs enabled if this matters.

A great idea but perhaps could use an update. I'll keep checking back.

I have a standard list of tasks that I have to complete when I develop a new website with Joomla so I installed this extension and then exported the MySQL data so I can load it into any new site and use it as a checklist.

Cool ap...!

I realize I have no concept of how difficult/ complex it is to write an application (I'm not a developer), but I can't really understand how this little baby didn't come out...well, better, I guess.

Don't get me wrong, it's a useful tool, and a GREAT idea, but lemme' be more specific:

1) Why must it install to the CP? I was really hoping for a component-esque interface---I don't really see the point of navigating away from the admin. page, if it could just as easily be tacked on to one of the sub-menus.

2) TODO causes my CP drop-down module to act kinda' wonky, so I assume there is some sort of compatibility issues there (for example, I can't select the TODO list, without also activating the top-most category in the module...in other words, both parent categories activate simultaneously, which gets pretty annoying).

3) I had kind of anticipated a more pleasant, eye-catching interface--a TODO list is not just about listing things to do! It's also about crossing things off of the list, and organizing the list in such a way that it can be visually mapped and modified (so-to-speak). I guess I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't keep a more dynamic visual log of what I had already accomplished (by way crossing things out, for example), and what was still left to do. Also, users really need to have greater control over the way the list is organized--that aspect of it almost feels like a no-brainer. And perhaps the list could branch off into hierarchies, too!

Sorry to be so verbose in my criticism, but I gave it a lot of consideration and thought before I decided to submit my review. I wanted to offer helpful suggestions, if you decide to update the application in the future. Otherwise, though, the idea is dynamite, and so far you guys seem to have cornered the market for this type of extension!

TODO List is good, but I think it could be even better! ^_^

i like this extension, simple but helpfull.

maybe more columns could be added like:

created by, modified by, dates of creation and modification, and kind of choose types: modified,added,deleted,planed,bug

I had the same / similar problem in that when clicking on the 'Add Entry' button, nothing happened.

I also had mod_foobla_shortcuts installed and enabled, but once I disabled it TODO List started to work, although there were still usability issues.

I moved it to the top position in cpanel and its now working fine.

Just a must have ! Everybody need it !

Great module, esspecially when you are working with multiple administrators on the website. Nice, smooth and handy implementation. The last update made it even more usefull.

Why not 5 stars? Well the module only works properly in first position :) In other positions the "add entry" form does not show up.

This does the trick for me. I use Project Fork for main project management functions but this is a nice, quick way of setting yourself a reminder of all the little jobs that come in from time to time by e-mail and over the phone.

There are a couple of things on my wish list...

1. An e-mail notification if I set a task for another member of staff so that they don't have to login to check.

2. Start, stop time and deadline so that I can tell a member of staff when the item needs to be completed by and when I expect it to be stared.

Those are being really picky.

Very nice extension though!!

Without being rude to the previous person leaving a review, i have no idea what problems he encountered. I use Joomla for all my websites. This is just what we needed, as we have a site with many administrators. This helps us keep tabs on each others work and remind each other of important tasks. Brilliant

For the idea I give 5 stars. But I have problem installing it. I have to emphasize that I am advanced user of Joomla and programmer, so I am not unfamiliar with different problems.
So I have submited ticket more then month ago and ... nothing. So I have to give bad rating.

Works well, keeps me updated as to what needs done daily. The only drawback is, once you plug in all that needs done, you remind yourself on every login just how slow you are. :)

That aside, I do like this and I've found having jot down all the ideas I have leads to better productivity. No excuses for the dog eating your notepad.

5 stars. Thank you for your contributions to Joomla. This will be a mainstay on my own sites as long as you continue to provide it.

We have three admins in two different countries to administer one live and test site and so this is a nice way to help co-ordinate tasks between the admins. I now plan to add it to all the other sites I administer to help me remember where I'm up to in site changes (patching modules, template changes, backups etc). It installs fine except that it creates the database entries when it detects the state of a particular parameter with if ($params->get('installtodo', 0)) {
modJLordToDoHelper::install();
which is odd but easy to understand. I have tweaked the helper to add IF NOT EXISTS to the CREATE TABLE for this TODO module and I have added a corresponding DROP TABLE uninstall as I hate old tables in my databases. I'll send the developers my patch. Overall very useful for site admins.

This is a must have, i suggest it to any one that is setting up a Joomla! site.

I was looking for an easy todo module without too many options. Just so that I can add some tasks easily and assign them to other admins.

Only one constructive comment to the dev-team:

If all module options are set to 'yes', the module renders per task three columns (User, Message & Actions) and an additional two rows (Priority & Status). Isn't it more effective if it uses five columns and one row per task (message)?

And maybe a collapsable (javascript) form to enter your task (message) would be nice :D

Keep it coming!
