## Description

**4WP TODO** helps your team capture action items on pages and posts, organize them
in kanban-style lists, and track completion without leaving WordPress.

Tasks are stored as native **Gutenberg notes** (`comment_type = note`) with 4WP 
metadata for category, assignee, due date, workflow, and page context. Other plugins
can create tasks via `forwp_todo_create_task()` or the REST API.

A plugin by [4wp.dev](https://4wp.dev/). **4WP** is our project brand; this plugin
is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by WordPress.

#### Key features

 * **Frontend overlay** — floating panel on the public site for logged-in team members(
   FAB + task list)
 * **Admin kanban** — **4WP TODO  TODO Lists** with columns (Assigned to me, Due
   tomorrow, per-page lanes)
 * **Dashboard** — open/closed counts and activity overview
 * **Taxonomy dimensions** — Category, Status, Workflow (manage terms under Categories/
   Statuses / Workflows)
 * **Settings** — frontend overlay toggle, admin bar link, **Who can see TODO** 
   visibility rules, optional tasks page with block
 * **Gutenberg block** — `forwp/todo-tasks` for a full kanban on a page
 * **REST API** — `forwp-todo/v1` for admin React UI and integrations
 * **Integration API** — PHP helpers and discovery endpoints for other 4WP plugins

#### How it works

 1. Activate the plugin. Users with access see **4WP TODO** in wp-admin and the frontend
    overlay when enabled.
 2. Create tasks from the overlay, admin lists, or programmatically.
 3. Assign categories, due dates, and workflows; close notes when done.
 4. Configure **Settings  Who can see TODO** to limit access by role and user.

Requires WordPress **6.4+** with block editor notes support.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/4wp-todo/` or install from the
    Plugins screen.
 2. Activate **4WP TODO**.
 3. Open **4WP TODO  Dashboard** or **TODO Lists** in wp-admin.
 4. Optional: open **Settings** to configure overlay, admin bar, visibility rules, 
    and a dedicated tasks page.

## FAQ

### Can other plugins create tasks?

Yes. Call `forwp_todo_create_task( $args )` in PHP or use `POST /wp-json/forwp-todo/
v1/tasks` with a logged-in user who has TODO access.

### How is access controlled?

By default, users with `edit_posts` can use TODO. When **visibility rules** are 
configured under Settings, a user must match at least one rule (role + all users
or selected users). Capability: `forwp_todo_access`.

### Where are tasks stored?

As WordPress **notes** on posts (core comment type `note`) with 4WP comment meta—
not a separate custom post type for each task.

### Does this require other 4WP plugins?

No. It runs standalone. Optional integrations use hooks and REST documented in the
Integration API.

### Is there a public frontend for visitors?

The overlay and task lists are for logged-in users with TODO access only.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.2

 * REST: GET `/meta` no longer lists every site user or every post with notes for
   TODO users who cannot view all tasks. The catalog is limited to people and posts
   on notes they can already see.

#### 1.0.1

 * REST: `POST /tasks` requires `edit_post` on the target post (or TODO access for
   the configured storage post); dedicated `permission_callback` and repository 
   guard.
 * REST: listing tasks by `post_id` returns 403 when the user cannot attach notes
   to that post (unless they can view all tasks).

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial WordPress.org release: Gutenberg note tasks, admin Dashboard and TODO
   Lists kanban, frontend overlay.
 * Settings: overlay toggle, admin bar link, visibility rules, optional tasks page
   with `forwp/todo-tasks` block.
 * REST API (`forwp-todo/v1`) and Integration API for other plugins.
 * Taxonomies: Category, Status, Workflow with admin management screens.
