From Topic: column order in task entry
I would like the column order for task entry to follow the order I've otherwise setup. As it currently stands I have to tab through some irrelevant fields to get to the ones I care about. It ends up taking too long on the keyboard, so I then end up using the mouse, which is also slow. In searching I saw that this is a previously requested feature, and one on the development task list: http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/2198/-10877/make-the-task-entry-screen-follow-column-sort-rules.htm l Is it still something you plan on including? Yours truly, Ari |

From Topic: A toodledo visual basic script job
I want to improve getting @waiting items into Toodledo but don't have the script chops to do it myself. As a consequence I've put a posting on Freelancer.com: http://www.freelancer.com/projects/Visual-Basic/Visual-Basic-Script-for-Outlook.html Here's the gist of the posting: I use Toodledo, a web-based to do list. I would like someone to create an Outlook visual basic script to help me use it better. Basically, Toodledo allows input via email, using a customized address @toodledo.com. I would like to send emails that need follow up to the recipients, and then a slightly customized, more descriptive version to Toodledo. As of now I send many emails that I would like to go in my Toodledo @waiting folder (or context). Sending it to my Toodledo bcc address loses valuable info: 1) It’s not clear who the recipient is 2) The title sometimes includes the wrong description 3) It’s not filed into @waiting I would like a visual basic script that will send more descriptive @waiting items from Outlook to Toodledo. The item in Toodledo should contain the date, who the email was sent to, and an optional descriptive title. Here’s a potential script workflow: 1) script triggered by a keyboard shortcut 2) email to recipient sent 3) Outlook presents an input box with two text fields a. The first for descriptive title containing as a default the email's subject line b. The second is blank for the folder 4) Outlook sends an email to Toodledo email with the following info a. In the subject line: Name of recipient -- descriptive title or default subject line (day/month of email), @waiting and, if applicable, the folder i. Example: John Smith—website redesign (12/31) @waiting *website b. body should contain full email, including all recipients and original subject line The full Toodledo email syntax can be found here, but the relevant parts are as follows: • context = @ + context. For this it is @waiting • folder = *+folder. For example, *website This message was edited Dec 20, 2011. |

I agree-- I often add tasks & subtasks together. Right now it requires several clicks. So, +10 for me please. |

From Topic: Help Creating an @waiting script?
Hi All, I'm really liking Toodledo and am now trying to optimize it for the long haul. One issue I have is getting email requests seamlessly into my @waiting folder. I also suspect other folks would benefit from the same solution. Often I email folks asking for something or otherwise leaving a project in their hands. I'd like to set up a rule-triggered Outlook script so that these items get automatically sent into Toodledo with the right subject header and in the right category. I think this would be easy to do for anybody with some Visual Basic skills (which I lamentably lack). Specifically, I'd like to: 1) send an email to someone and BCC myself 2) then take that BCC email, add to the subject line who I sent it to and the date in parenthesis. It would look something like John Smith (1/1)-- Original Subject Line 3) send this modified email to Toodledo Triggering a script with a rule and sending an email to Toodledo are easy. Also, much of the script could probably be borrowed from here: http://www.toodledo.com/forums/3/6709/-2/one-click-toodledo-outlook-button-code-included.html#end It's just the actual script that I can't do :-(. If anybody has the kind of chops to whip this script up or otherwise suggest a solution, I'd be grateful. Yours truly, Ari |

Okay, so it turns out that I don't speak Visual Basic (or any other scripting language, sadly). Might anybody have a suggestion for sending better @waiting items from Outlook? What I want should be pretty straightforward and derivative (in a good way). Specifically, I'd like to: 1) send an email to someone and B'CC myself 2) then take that BCC email, add to the subject line who I sent it to and the date in parenthesis. It would look something like John Smith (1/1)-- Original Subject Line 3) send this modified email to Toodledo Triggering a script with a rule and sending an email to Toodledo are easy. It's just the actual script that I can't do :-( If anybody has the kind of chops to whip this script up or otherwise suggest a solution, I'd be grateful. Yours truly, Ari |

Absolutely brilliant. I'm a horrific script writer, but I'm attempting to adapt this so that any email I bcc to myself will get forwarded to my @waiting folder with the subject line as the person i sent it to, the date and the original subject line. Wish me luck! |
