FAQ

Why I see tasks but the fields are not editable

If you notice such behaviour, this is because the task is not for you, this means that you are not owner or not assegnee for the task.

The plugin doesn’t work

The plugin depends of PHP 5.4, so please check your PHP version first.

How can I revert colors and labels

If you override the labels or colors on statuses or priorities and want to revert default values back, you can just clear the value and leave it empty, then save the settings.

How can I add own priorities

The plugin itself doesn’t provide option to setup your own priorities via the admin panel.
I think I do most common cases, but if you really need to add/remove priorities you can do it via filter hook ‘scifi-task-manager-priorities’

Simple example
add_filter(‘scifi-task-manager-priorities’, function($priorities) {

  // Add custom priority.
  $priorities[99] = array(

    // Label of the priority
    'label' => 'Very very critical',

    // Color code
    'color' => '#ff0000',
  );


  // Remove status.
  unset($priorities[75]);

  return $priorities;
});

How can I add own statuses

The plugin itself doesn’t provide option to setup your own priorities via the admin panel. But like the priorities, there are
hook about it ‘scifi-task-manager-statuses’

Simple example
add_filter(‘scifi-task-manager-statuses’, function($statuses) {

  // Add custom status.
  $statuses['myplugin-special-status1'] = array(

    // Label of the status
    'label' => 'My status 1',

    // Status progress (0-100)
    'progress' => 30,

    // Color code
    'color' => '#ff0000',
  );


  // Remove status.
  unset($statuses['scifitm-resolved']);

  return $statuses;
});

Please be carefull with statuses because some of the task could became invisible if you remove status that contain tasks.

What are the future plans about the plugin

I have a little task list that I will add in next releases.

• FE task creation
• Full preview lock
• More translations
• Custom capabilities

I’m searching a lot for a plugins like this. This is the best I could find. Surely, some features are missing yet. And so I hope, the development will be continued.

Excellent!
