Hi,

I'd like to make a request for a plugin. Although I'd be totally gobsmacked if someone took me up on it!

Here's what I would like to happen:

2 Actors: Member and Connection.

Member logs in and creates a task list with the following fields:
Description, Due Date, Connection

Sometime later, member logs on and logs task as done.
Connection receives a message telling him/her it has been done.

If member is overdue (say by 1 week) in logging task, both member and connection get a message.

Now I know its unlikely that anyone is going to say
"hey what a super idea! I'll do that tomorrow!" so can someone tell me what I need to know to do it myself.

I have a small understanding of mysql and php, but I once was an experienced programmer.

thanks for any help.
Samantha

OK.

I've looked at the code for SCE Task which is a joomla component.


I can easily change that to handle only the fields I want.

The next step would be to make it CB plugin.
Now I have three questions:

1. Is there an API function to return a list of users with a particular field? Or do I have to query the DB directly?

2. Does teh component have to be a CB plugin to get a list of CB users?

3. Does being a CB plugin mean that the interface is displayed as a Tab on the profile? Or can it hang off the profile menu?

thanks for any help
