Extending project module - Task due dates and integration with event.module
A client wants a project management module much like project.module, but with the ability to add due dates and integrate with the event.module calendar to see 'upcoming' tasks, etc. I know there is task.module but I'm not sure it carries all the great functionality that comes with project.module. Can anyone point me in the right direction before I start this? Any suggestions for what features a project.module patch should contain? -- Rob Roy Barreca Electronic Insight Corporation 12526 High Bluff Drive, Suite 300 San Diego, CA 92130 http://www.electronicinsight.com rob@electronicinsight.com

someone will probably tell you to look at casetracker.module, too. not sure if it handles due dates, etc, or what. personally, i'd rather see your efforts in the project module, but that's my own bias. ;)

patches to project must be self-contained and only address 1 thing at a time. please don't roll a 400 line patch that changes 17 things and expect me to review/commit it. ;) every new feature should be its own issue in the issue queue, and it's own patch. if you go that route, you're *much* more likely to see your code get into the official release. also, the issue queue for project is full of feature requests that need patches. feel free to take a look at those and see if you can get any of them working. perhaps we should talk off-line if you want a guided tour of the inner workings of the project.module's code (what little of it i understand it this point, that is!). ;) or, if i'm in #drupal on IRC, feel free to ask me there. thanks for your interest! i'm looking forward to seeing your contributions to the project module... -derek (dww)
