Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to :Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

After installing the plugin, simply enter this information on the page you wish to create the todo list:

<todo>Title of todo Action</todo>

Each <todo> tag will create one checkbox for the action.

To create a checkbox that is check by default, create your todo like this:

<todo #>Title of todo Action</todo>

Using bulleted lists (*) is recommended, as it will allow you to more easily make a 'list' out of your items to do.

To assign users use the @ symbol like this:

<todo @leo>Task for leo</todo>
<todo @leo #>Completed task for leo</todo>

The name of the user can use:

• the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, .-_

• No (white)spaces are allowed!

So @leo.eibler, @Leo_Eibler will work but @Leo Eibler will not work!

Multiple users can be assigned in one todo (separated by space character). This way a todo can show up in todo lists of different users.

<todo @leo @runout @somebody>Task for leo and runout and somebody</todo>

Render the username as id, full name or not at all, allowed values: user or real or none

<todo @somebody username:real>Task with real username of somebody shown</todo>

Set a start and/or due date and get colored output if todo has started or is due

<todo start:YYYY-MM-DD>Text</todo>
<todo due:YYYY-MM-DD>Text</todo>
<todo start:YYYY-MM-DD due:YYYY-MM-DD>Text</todo>

Colors,… can be set in the style.css file in the plugin directory (lib/plugin/todo)

Do (not) show the Start/Due date, allowed values: yes or no

<todo showdate:yes start:YYYY-MM-DD>Text</todo>

Formatting is not allowed inside of the <todo></todo> tags. However, if you wish for your text to be bold or have some other type of style (other than the default one provided), you can surround the todo tag with the formatting of your choice. The resulting action text should then be displayed with your choice of formatting when your changes have been saved.

A quickbutton for inserting todo syntax is available in the editor toolbar. You can click the button (which is pictured as a checked-checkbox) or you can use the keyboard shortcut of [T].

The new version (since version 2014-03-17) of the todo plugin allows to create an easy to use task management system to collect all todos from all pages on a single page.

~~NOCACHE~~

If you have pages you never want to include in TODOLISTs, you can put following on these pages:

~~NOTODO~~

~~TODOLIST~~

Print a summary of checked todos and total todos like (10/14)

~~TODOLIST short:yes~~

Filter the assignments, allowed values: yes, no, usernames in format@username or username, or placeholders @@USER@@ or @@MAIL@@ which are replaced by username or e-mail of current logged in user.

~~TODOLIST assigned:yes~~ 
~~TODOLIST assigned:User1,User2~~ 
~~TODOLIST assigned:@User1,@User2~~
~~TODOLIST assigned:@@USER@@~~
~~TODOLIST assigned:@@MAIL@@~~ finds tasks assigned using someones email.

Do (not) show the checkbox, allowed values: yes or no

~~TODOLIST checkbox:no~~

Render the username as id, full name or not at all, allowed values: user or real or none

~~TODOLIST username:real~~

Render the header as pageID, as the first header of the page or not at all, allowed values: id or firstheader or none

~~TODOLIST header:firstheader~~

Do (not) show the Start/Due date, allowed values: yes or no

~~TODOLIST showdate:yes~~

Filter the completion state, allowed values: yes or no

~~TODOLIST completed:no~~
~~TODOLIST completed:yes~~

Filter by date the box was checked.

~~TODOLIST completedbefore:<date>~~
~~TODOLIST completedafter:<date>~~
~~TODOLIST completedat:<date>~~

<date> can be:

Y-m-d like 2014-06-12
or a value like +10 or -10 or 0

invalid values will be substituted with today's date

Filter by user who checked the box. Comma separated list.

~~TODOLIST completeduser:jack,daniel,jessie~~

Filter the TODOLIST by Start/Due Date. Absolute and relative Dates are possible.

~~TODOLIST startbefore:<date>~~
~~TODOLIST startafter:<date>~~
~~TODOLIST startat:<date>~~
~~TODOLIST duebefore:<date>~~
~~TODOLIST dueafter:<date>~~
~~TODOLIST dueat:<date>~~

<date> can be:

Y-m-d like 2014-06-12
or a value like +10 or -10 or 0

invalid values will be substituted with todays date

~~TODOLIST assigned:@@USER@@ completed:yes ~~
~~TODOLIST assigned:Gerrit,leo completed:no ~~

Some default values for these options can be set in the Configuration Manager

I've added the following option to the ~~TODOLIST~~ tag: ns:

If omitted it uses ns:all.

It can be used with the following parameters:

• all – displays todo's from everywhere (the current default behaviour)
• / – only displays todo's from pages containing in the ROOT namespace
• <string> – Where string can be any text. It checks the page-id if it starts with this string and then returns the pages with todo's that do; for example:
• . or ending in :. – display this namespace and subnamespaces (not much tested)
• .: – display only subnamespaces (not much tested)

~~TODOLIST ns:todo~~

returns all todo's from the page todo in the root of the wiki, or from the namespaces starting with todo or from the page todo and the namespaces starting with todo.

~~TODOLIST ns:todo:~~

returns all todo's from the namespace todo.

~~TODOLIST ns:todo:r~~ 

returns all todo's from the namespaces or pages under todo, starting with an r.

If you want to display more than one namespace in a single page, you can put a TODOLIST for each :

~~TODOLIST ns:foo:~~
~~TODOLIST ns:bar:~~

Default: Off

This option (when enabled) will allow your actions to also link to a page with the same name. This way, if you have important details about an action, you can place them in this link.

However, Backlinks to the TODO do not currently work. Also, if you use the Move Plugin, the link will not be updated/moved if the details page that the link points to is moved.

Default: [Empty]

This option allows you specify where actions links should be placed. Using “.:” will cause the actions to link to whatever namespace you are currently in. Leaving it blank or typing “:” will cause all actions to link to the root namespace. Using something like “.:actions:” will cause the actions to link to whatever the current namespace is, plus an “actions” namespace. (Added with version 9-9-09)

Default: On

This option (when enabled) will place a strike-through in the actions that have been completed. When disabled, an action can be checked, but the text will not have strike-through applied.

Default: On

When this option is enabled, and the links option is disabled, then clicking on the text of an action will mark that action as being complete. (Added with version 10-14-09)

Please request your features and issues in the tracker at https://github.com/leibler/dokuwiki-plugin-todo/issues.

The ~~TODOLIST~~ -functionality finds every ... item, even when inside a code or a file block. Also, after being rendered on a TODOLIST page, toggling the checkbox of that item will update its code accordingly. This was reported in Issue #12 on Github

For the current default download package (see start of this page) one should refer to its GitHub Atom Feed:

• Can we have a filter of tasks “completedon”, completedbefore and completedafter (similar to duebefore etc) so that we can see when tasks were completed. Would be good to be able to list tasks by completed date (got to keep those minions working somehow

• make it possible to have more than one todo tag in the same line (e.g. separated by \\)
  this might be useful to have more than one todo in a box in a table (workaround to assign a task to multiple users)

• Would be cool to have tags , display single page of tagged tasks, formatting inside task, quick links to the page, and priority of the task!! thanks:!

• Can we have the list of tasks filtered on the start and due dates? Allow filtering of jobs to show just those due in the next 7 days, or jobs starting in the next 7 days. Full examples in the GIT page for how it might work. Update : I think this might now work using the duebefore and due after with the +10 -10 relative references only I can't get this to work myself.
  Should work, only issue: then only tasks with given dates will be shown. We need an 'start-/due-ignore' option to solve this.

• When TODO links are turned ON per here, could Backlinks to the original TODO be made to work? That way, when TODO details are entered, it's easy to get back to the TODO item and check the box complete.

• Thank you for this wonderful plugin. I have one request. In TODOLIST, each todos links to the original page where it's located, Since table header does same action, in my opinion, that links are not needed. Instead, when I click the todo, mark as done would be nice. Also, since it's a link, changing text color doesn't work on the TODOLIST. Thanks for reading.
  • This behavior can be changed on the configuration page so that the link points to a page named after the link

• absolutely great plugin! thank you!
  Would it be possible to allow also dates formatted DD.MM.YYYY (which is very common in Austria )
  
  I'm from Austria too ;) but the only useful order in the date format is YMD - especially for sorting.
  Things are possible but don't make sense in some way.

• Thank you for this excellent plugin! Would it be possible to augment each to-do item with two more fields: (a) details and (b) action taken? They are useful especially in cases where items are assigned to different people. The fields could be possibly hidden and get displayed only if a spoiler-like button is pressed. The first is needed in order to describe the assignment in detail and (b) should be a description by the person who acted on the assignment.

• Very nice plugin! Started using it only 5 minutes ago and I already love it. I do have 1 question: is it possible to display tasks, without having it in a list-like format (under each other) instead of on 1 lineing to use an actual list or paragraphs? I guess I might be able to achieve this by using \\
  Also, it would be nice to allow links inside the todo, now I have to put a link after the todo or place it outside the todo, resulting in a line being half todo half link

• I'm looking for a short kind of info string to be displayed after a page link, displaying how many todos the page have and how many of them that are checked, such as “(5/10)”
  
  See the short option. — runout 2017-08-28 10:12

• Is it possible to show a list of todos filtered by “completed by” and “when” depending on who checked the checkbox? Again its to keep the minions working. I'd like to add a section for each tech to my “dashboard” page that shows me who has completed what tasks and when. I currently have an outstanding task list for each tech but not a list of the work they say they've completed. Something along the lines of

  will show me the work they have completed today(no matter who it was assigned to). Also something like

  will show me their own tasks completed in the last day, when completed and by whom.
  
  try the option completeduser for filtering which user has checked the box. Showing the completed-date is not implemented. — runout 2017-08-28 09:35

• Change link option from “pages with the same name” to “by Attribute”. For Example “@link:T0012” if a automatic naming scheme could be implemented, otherwise “@link:wiki:test:start” or external target like phone NR “@link:tel:+1356465654” or Websites “@link:https://www.dokuwiki.org”.
• It would be great to have the option to be able to include wiki formatted links within the task so when I have a task to review another page in the wiki or an external URL I can put a formatted link in with a meaningful label rather than the full and often long URL displaying in the task and in the task list

• Customizations

Is it possible to see time dedicated between own tasks and colleagues and friends?
