I tried the code from your previous post on Zencart but i always have a 404 error message. And I am somehow confused with the modules, menu and not familiar with Joomla. Do you have detailed instructions ;-) Hi,

The plugin would intercept the registration details and add them to the IEM using the XML code that IEM supply on their API help site. If you dont use a Joomla Plugin you would have to hack the registration code in Joomla, so a plugin is best. Maybe read up on plugin development, or look at other user plugins to see how it works. OR 2) You could use Community Builder because there is a plugin for Community Builder already developed, and I use it for some of my sites (although I have customised it for my own use). This may be better because you can then add a checkbox for someone to sign in due to legal requirements. The CB Plugin can be purchased at low cost and is in the Joomla Extensions directory http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/community-builder-extensions/community-builder-ads/7493. Using Community Builder means you can ask for more fields at registration also if you wish. Hi Carlos

BUT I have since started to use Todoist and although its missing some functions I would like, its interface is just what I like. I think it has a good balance bwteen similicity and colour coding. Not too much colour like GQueues, and not too little colour like RTM and Google Tasks. I am always trying different task systems though to find the right one so thats for the info, may give it a go again. @Denis I didn’t realise Google Tasks has an standalone page so that is definately good news.

Also you can paste several lines directly into tasks widget and each line becomes a separate task. Google Tasks has separate interface without gmail: https://mail.google.com/tasks/canvas?pli=1 You can reorder tasks for prioritization, and add due dates as well. What Google Tasks doesn’t do is labels and reminders – while tasks show up in calendar they are not real calendar entries and so no reminders and no syncing to iPhone. Speaking of the latter – I wrote an app that does sync Google Task to iPhone, it’s called GeeTasks. Did you know that in gmail you can create a task from an email? “More Actions” -> “Add to tasks”.

It has a separate "home page" to manage your tasks, but it fully integrates with your Google account (Google login, Calendar integration, sharing with Google Contacts) 2. It has a very easy to use bookmarklet that turns emails into tasks. The subject of the email becomes the task description and a link to the original email is automatically added to the notes of the task. 3. It has all the other features you'd expect from a good task manager - tagging, subtasks, drag and drop reordering, SMS reminders and mobile access.
