When you have installed Tasks, there are a few settings you must specify and several options you can set based on your tastes. We'll go through them in the order they appear on the Server Settings page.

Tasks URL

Set this to the URL of your Tasks installation (http://www.example.com/tasks_pro/ - do not include the 'index.php' file). This is used in e-mail notifications and reminders, RSS feeds, etc.

PHP iCalendar URL

Set this to the URL of your PHP iCalendar installation (http://www.example.com/tasks/phpicalendar/ - do not include the 'index.php' file). If PHP iCalendar is enabled, this is used to open the Tasks generated iCalendars in PHP iCalendar.

Domain to be used in cookies

If you aren't familiar with the way cookies work, you can leave this blank and Tasks will make an educated guess (works in 80%+ situations). If you are familiar with the way cookies work, you can enter the domain to be used in the Tasks cookies. To have the cookies work on both www.example.com and example.com, you'd set the value to: .example.com.

Path to be used in cookies

Again, if you aren't familiar with the way cookies work, you can leave this blank and Tasks will make an educated guess (works in 80%+ situations). If you are familiar with the way cookies work, you can enter the path to be used in the Tasks cookies. To have the cookies restricted to www.example.com/tasks/, you'd set the value to: /tasks/. Most of the time, this can be left blank.

E-mail address used to send admin e-mails

Set this to a generic address or the address of an admin. It is used to send out e-mails containing new passwords and daily e-mail reminders. It is also used as the 'from' address if the person assigning a task does not have their e-mail address set in their profile.

Use built-in security (require a log in)

If this is checked, you have to enter a username and password to access your Tasks data. This applies to the web interface, iCalendar and RSS feeds.

Show task hierarchy in lists, e-mails, RSS feeds and iCalendars (slows down performance)

If this is checked, the task hierarchy for sub-tasks is shown with the task data in lists, e-mails, RSS feeds and iCalendars. This makes it easier to see where a task appears in the task hierarchy, but it adds overhead and slows down performance.

Enable adding files to tasks/notes

If this is checked, users can upload files and attach them to tasks and notes.

Maximum file size allowed (in bytes, max: [the max set in your php.ini]):

Set this to the maximum file size you wish to allow users to upload and attach to tasks and notes.
