Chevrotiere.com is pleased to announce the launch of the TaskMan plugin! TaskMan is a plugin for the Geeklog framework which keeps track of your tasks. With it you will record your to do list, and as you work on each item, you check in and check out each task. Once you have added and completed all your tasks, you can view the calendar to see just exactly what you did each day. And when your boss needs to know what you did, you can go to the reporting page, and print out a nice excel spreadsheet of all your activities, grouped by client and project!

Check out the documentation, and if you like what you see, you can download TaskMan from Chevrotiere.com.

Additionally, there are two new Geeklog themes which can also be downloaded from Chevrotiere.com. To preview these themes go to the theme documentation.

Enjoy!

Nextide is pleased to announce the release of the NexPro theme as a general public download. This is the same theme that is used in NexPro. It is a nice royal blue colour, and offers collapsible left and right blocks. Or, if you are on a page with limited screen real estate, you can collapse the whole left block pane completely! All of the collapses use the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) to give a smooth animation and add a great touch to your site. Click here for a sneak peak of the theme.

You can download the NexPro theme from Nextide Public Downloads, but please read the documentation first, as there are some required code changes you will need to perform in order to make the theme work fully. The documentation can be found here: NexPro Theme Documentation.

Enjoy!
