person who gave task, can't see it.

  • Hi.

    I really love your plugin, it’s awsome, I appreciate that you have done it, but I have a little problem with it.

    When one of simple users gives task for an admin, why that user cannot see that task in his to-do’s list?

    I understand that it’s not very logical, but I want to make like a support page. There would be one person who does the work, and checks works in the list as done, and there would be a lot of users with their problems, which are giving him these tasks, and would be able to see how these tasks are going and when they are done. ??

    Is it possible to do something like that with your plugin?
    Thank you. ??

    It should be able to be done, but all users would be able to see other user’s support requests. It can either be set to show only tasks to the assigned user or show tasks to all users (there is a third method to only show all tasks to users with a specific capability but that wouldn’t work in your case).

    Under Settings > Advanced, Show a User Only the To-Do Items Assigned to Them should be set to No and under Settings > User Permissions, make sure that the capability selected for Viewing, Adding, Assigning, etc is set to something the lowest user can do.

    Thank you very much, for such a fast reply. ??

    Hmm, but I really don’t want to show user other users questions. Because they are sometimes from different subject, and it would become a mess.

    Maybe I can filter them somehow by “Added By”? In that case user only would see requests which were added by him. Would it be posssible?

    Yes, if you’re comfortable working with PHP and editing the plugin files.

    I don’t have any action hooks in the right places in the plugin currently to do it without editing the plugin files. I will need to add some.

    Depending if you’re using the frontend admin, you’ll need to edit either /includes/cleverness-to-do-list-frontend.class.php or /includes/cleverness-to-do-list.class.php, in the function show_todo_list_items.

    You’ll want to add an if statement inside the while loop checking if get_the_author() is equal to the current user.

    Thank you soo much, it worked like a charm. ??

    Just want to ask you one little question, is it possible to add new custom fields into front-end form? If yes, could you tell me where I need to start watching? It would be really amazing.

    Thank you very much one more time for your help. ??

    Yes it’s possible, but it wouldn’t be simple unfortunately. In /includes/cleverness-to-do-list-library.class.php insert_todo and edit_todo would need to be modified and maybe get_todo_meta. In /includes/cleverness-to-do-list-frontend.class.php, most of the functions in the CTDL_Frontend_Admin class would need to modified and you would need to add another function to display that new field, like in /includes/cleverness-to-do-list.class.php. That file might also have some functions that need to be modified.
