Thanks Cyan for this... would you know where to rename the "checklists" in the breadcrumb navigation bar ?


In /activecollab/application/modules/checklists/controllers/ChecklistsController.class.php on line 48 you have the following code:

$this->wireframe->addBreadCrumb(lang('Checklists'), $checklists_url);


Just use lang('Taskslists') instead of lang('Checklists'). That should do the trick.

You can hack the Tab easily to say whatever you want.

activecollab/application/modules/checklists/handlers/on_project_tabs.php


Just change line 19 from:
'text' => lang('Checklists'),

to
'text' => lang('Tasklist'),

or to whatever you want it to say.

Please, yes, Rename Checklist to Task Lists. Also, do we need to create everytime a new Checklist/TaskList to apply more tasks under a Milestone ? why now assigning task right under the milestone ?


You can find more information about tasks and tickets in this post. Please note the difference between tasks and tickets.

Definition of a checklist:

A list of action items, steps, or elements needed for a task. Each item is checked off as it is completed.

Let me explain, tasks can be assigned to tickets. So, checklists and tasks pulled from across the system would be tasklists. And, I want them. Sortable, Assignable, Clickable,... Like a slick, usable assignment board focused on tasks.

It's nice to see the groups of tasks (checklists) at a high level and then and then look at the checklists themselves to see all of the specific tasks. I do agree that calling them "task lists" or "to-do lists" would be more intuitively understandable.

What would make this feature even better for me is if Checklists could be copied between projects. That way for example I could use my "Initial Project Start-up" checklist with all of my projects but then use a copy of the "Demo Development" checklist only when I need it for projects that have a Demo.

I do have one question. Right now a have a milestone that says "No tasks in this milestone..." how do I associate tasks with milestones.

For most of what I do things at the checklist level would be synonymous with milestones. But, I could see having a major milestone comprised of multiple checklists with multiple tasks under them. I could also see the need to break this out so that individual checklists of tasks could be assigned to different people who are working together to accomplish a milestone in the project.

Please explain how to associate my checklists and/or tasks with milestones. Thanks

Who says "Task List" in real life? Checklists makes much more sense, and in real life conversation, what would be on a checklists? Tasks.

The only thing I would possibly rename it to is "todo lists."

But I've found that I don't use the checklists feature much anyway, preferring to enter tasks on the tickets they are related to.

I like your idea Mark: "Task Lists" and "Tasks" +1
