Task Management

Not sure about the blog bit, but Alex King – one of the WP devs – wrote “Tasks” of which all I have seen is praise. Might be worth a look ?

Tasks is wonderful and it’s up to version 2.5 now and has recurring tasks (I haven’t upgraded yet, but plan to). Give it a shot, it’s really great. There is a demo version on Alex’s site so you can check it out.

Is this a WP plugin? It looks like a whole other app that happens to have some WP tie in.

No, it’s not a plugin.
I don’t know of a plugin that could suit your needs, but I did know about tasks, hence my post.

No, it is a web application that Alex King came up with. He is/was a contributing developer for wordpress.

I myself use it and I’m sure there are quite a few other wordpress users/devs that do. I love it and would never use anything else.

It’s not going to work for me. There are other non technical solutions on the table here that would be easier for us to implement. I need a simple plugin that doesn’t necesitate me creating new databases and such. (New tables within the existing WP database would be alright.) Something that will be quick to implement and would not cause my users to have to learn something new.

That’s a pretty tall order. I hope you find what you are looking for. Can you be more specific about what it is you need to have done for you and your users?

Meanwhile, the Hipster PDA might be what you need {{grin}}:

Hmm. I’m thinking some more about how you can do this with WordPress. Perhaps set up categories for various tasks (or task types) and a category for each user (each person who will be assigned tasks) so that it will sort by task or by user. You may also want categories for priorities (urgent, high, medium, low) or at least “completed”???

Private categories hides specific categories from all but certain users (users whose levels are set high enough). You could assign everyone else a lower user level and then use this to hide the “completed” category from everyone but yourself. That way, users will only see active tasks.

Upcoming events might be useful in some way:

I’ll try to look for more. This is fun actually, as Upcoming Events is useful for one of my web design clients’ sites!

I think we’ll just whiteboard it. That was my manager’s idea anyway. I was just trying to do something more techy with it.
