Todo/Task 'links', does any program do this already?
As you know (probably bored to tears by now) I've been looking for a TaskList/Todo type program for a while. I've just recently realised what would really suit me - a way to add links to a web page which would pop up specific Tasks/Todos or, if it was a new task, would pop up the New Task entry box. This is surely possible, fairly easy even, a PHP link (or even some JavaScript) could easily fire off some code to search for an event in an ICS file or on a Caldav server and pop up the required window. If there's nothing out there that does this it's so "exactly what I want" I'll put my coding hat on and do it myself. Does anyone know of anything that does this or that might provide some of the tools/hooks etc that I'd need to do it myself? -- Chris Green

Not sure I really understand the requirement. Do you mean that you want to annotate documents published on the Web with links to diary and task list items stored in your organiser software? Or that you want some organiser software which has a browser interface? Or something else? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis ISMS, Computing Goldsmiths, University of London Tel: +44 (0)20 7078 5134 Skype: richardjlewis JID: ironchicken@jabber.earth.li http://www.richard-lewis.me.uk/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- +----------------------------------------------+ | Support open access to scholarship | | http://freeculture.org/ http://www.doaj.org/ | +----------------------------------------------+

I suspect this is closest to what I'm trying to describe, but ....

It's also this.
Or something else?
I want to be able to put a URL into a web page, say something like:- http://www.isbd.net/someVeryClever.php&alarm=alarmName and when I click on this URL up pops either the exisiting iCalandar entry for the alarm/event or a form to fill in to create it. Thus, when one clicks on the link one invokes some web based calendar/task software. (N.B. I realise the syntax of the URL may not be correct) -- Chris Green
This sounds very much like Google Notebook, with the firefox extension, to me. It's no longer being developed, but I believe the service/extension might still exist. Failing that, I believe zoho notebook does the same sort of thing, but I haven't used that. These are not tickable task lists per se, but like other web utilities, can probably be used as such as long as you have that prompt.

Hmmm, thanks, Zoho is quite an interesting site in its own little way. It's all giving me ideas as to how I can achieve what I want. -- Chris Green
