Todo list from collection items

Design help CMS
1

I’d like to create a todo list on my project. The list needs be driven off a collection. Anyone have any experience with doing something like this?
I’ve looked at wized, but that is a little intimidating for me. Hoping to stay more “inside” web flow but willing to use some integrations if needed.

The main problem when you say “Todo list” is that it suggests a few underlying requirements, for example;

  • Somewhere to store the master list of todos
  • Some sort of tracking ability to remember what’s ticked off
  • Some sort of user ability to know WHO ticked it off, and to track their lists separately

It happens my team is building a service that makes simple user-data-storage possible on top of Memberships without any complexity, but it probably won’t be completed until Q2

Hi @latimerart :wave: welcome to the forum!

Something “inside” Webflow is hard. If you’re open to integrations, that’ll be your best bet.

I don’t know of a specific integration that does this, but here is what I do know, and what I’ve done to solve the problem.

Jetboost

Jetboost is a popular solution within the community. It offers a CMS Item Favoriting feature that you can use as a per user todo list instead.

Favoriting / Unfavoriting would be the same as done / undone for the todo item.

Memberstack

I’ve created a simple course site using Memberstack that does exactly what you describe, but instead of it being a todo item, it is a complete / uncompleted check for each lesson (e.g. todo items).

It works really well, but my example isn’t integrated with the CMS. Though doing so wouldn’t be a heavy life if you use something like Make (Integromat).

You can see it in action by going here: https://online-course-demo-shared.webflow.io/

Enroll with a fake email and test it out. If that’s interesting I have screencast walking through how I’ve built it:

Hope that helps!

@ChrisDrit Your member stack solution is really close. A requirement I have is that multiple users need to see the same todo list. It’s a shared list. Could your solution be extended?

Interesting :thinking: I’m assuming it’s read only when multiple users can view it, but it’s editable only to the user that created it?

If so I’ve got a screencast that builds something similar. It walks through creating blog comments where the author of the comment can edit it, but everyone else can only view it.

Does that helps?

@ChrisDrit well, I shouldn’t have used the word “see”. It needs to be a shared task list. A list of jobs are created by an admin and then contractors with access (login, through member stack) can collaboratively complete the tasks.

I think if you assign those contractors to the same membership then you could allow anyone with that membership to complete the tasks. Sounds doable to me.
