Installed it and the section shows up in the administrator panel but adding new items doesn't work. They simply don't show. Maybe it is a good tool but with 20 years of IT Experience I can't get it to work.

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!

Except for a few things like below it's nice, simple, easy and it works (almost) right on!

-DB has to be installed a bit weirdy, but it works
- it takes up a bit of space (no icons, etc..)
- .. well in stead of repeating , just check the other reviews here; I agree with most..

Looking forward to new releases :-)

This was exactly what I was looking for in a TO-DO list. It's basic, and even though the install instructions are 4-step, it only took 3 min to install completely and post my first task.

Thank you for providing this great extension.

I installed the software. only problem was to find the right way to install the Db entries. But some clicking around did work.

It looks ok but some suggestions:

Adding users to entry
collor to priority
make colloms to reduce size in the hight

I've tried this and the Admin to-do module. I like this better because it has more options, but I wish that it had even more. In particular, I'd like to have fields to capture start dates and due dates.

I read that the installation process had been simplified, but the instructions told me to enable, publish to cp, write to db, load cp, no longer write to db. I'm not sure if this is the simplified process. I can follow directions, but I would have preferred an even simpler process for installation--one less prone to user error.

This module takes up a lot of space per entry. That makes it easier to read, but when you get a lot of items in your to-do list, you'll find yourself scrolling. It would be nice to have a condensed list view with the essentials and the ability to drill down on a particular task for more details (including the addition of a subject field). At any rate, if you have a lot of entries in the to-do list, you probably won't want to publish it in the first position. You'll see what I mean when you put a lot of entries into it.

Having the ability to set the priority and status and user of each task is handy. (It's why I uninstalled the admin to-do module which lacks these abilities.) I find this especially to be the case when the list gets longer, since I can more easily identify the tasks I'm looking for. It would be a nice feature to be able to customize the items that appear in the comboboxes for priority and status. Also, for sites with lots of people who have access to the backend, it would be nice to be able to see the name along side the username for each admin. I find myself having to look up the usernames to make sure I'm assigning a task to the correct person.

When the list gets longer, you have to delete items to keep things neat. If you change the status of an item to completed, it's still visible in the same position in the list. It would be so much nicer not to have to do this, but there would need to be some way to filter or sort the list of to-do items if they were to be kept around.

Overall I think this module is very useful for both large and small groups of people--even individual users. It's a simple way of keeping track of what needs to be done. It's certainly worth downloading and trying out. I may wish that it had more and better features, but I'm grateful for what it does offer.

There isn't much to this module - just the way it should be!* Works perfectly as a simple Task List - easy to add, edit and delete entries.

Install was quick and painless, configuration is simple and straight forward.

*Only addition I might suggest would be an option to show the creation date for tasks, and possibly color-code or mark the entries depending on the priority, age, etc.

I loved the HP module, but with 1.5 nothing was around. This is exactly the same! Thanks Everything else doenst compare.

I've been looking for such an extension for a couple of months and it does what I'm looking for.

Pros:
- you can assign to-do's to users, keep up status updates and priority
- it's easy and fast to use

cons:
- it takes an extra row (or 2) per task to assign to users and to keep up status updates.
- you need to set the user option to yes to display the status updates and priority

suggestions for improvement:
- the user is already in the same row, so why it needs the second row is a question to me.
- display priority and statusupdates with icons
