Announcing: a new WordPress plugin to integrate a ToDo list into WordPress as a widget.

The “Our ToDo List” Widget for WordPress extends the WordPress Our ToDo List Plugin from WordPress By Examples by incorporating your list of ToDo items into the sidebar.  You can see it in use on this site at the right hand side, where we will be using it to track items on Enlight’s To Do list.

Features

• Integrates with the “Our Todo List” plugin via their public APIs to display the exact same list of tasks.
• When a logged-in user is browsing the page, a link to “Edit List” is added at the bottom of the ToDo List, to allow for quick and easy editing.
• Completed items are marked by a CSS class to allow themes to display them differently

Customization

• You can customize the title displayed over the list by clicking “Edit” from your Widgets page.
• You can theme the list items by using the otd_todo and otd_completed CSS classes, which are automatically added to each item by the Our ToDo List Plugin API.  For example, this site uses:
  .otd_completed { text-decoration: line-through; color: #888888; }

Download & Installation

1. You must have the prerequisite “Our ToDo List” plugin installed and working: Our Todo List
2. Download the latest release here: Our ToDo List Widget Plugin (currently version 1.0)
3. Unpack the ZIP file to your wp-content/plugins directory.
4. Activate the “Our ToDo List Widget” plugin from your Plugins admin page.
5. Add the widget to your sidebar from the Design->Widgets page.
6. Set a title for the widget if you don’t like the default.
