Wrap tasks in tables, to simulate a calendar view

[Y-a-n-i-n-a]

I would love to be able to wrap outputs of my Tasks queries in a table. I am really used to calendar format, so if I could have a perpetual calendar with tasks for the upcoming week or two, that'd be swell. There are easy queries to pull what I need + add short mode, but I miss the 6-7 column format for a quick overview without scrolling much.

Sorry I missed this earlier.

I think that's a great idea.

There are a few related Discussion ideas around integrating with various calendar plugins, but I can't see one specifically around display the results in a table.

No worries at all and thanks for looking into this. The plugin is already awesome!

Thank you very much @Y-a-n-i-n-a . That really means a lot! The credit very much goes to @schemar.

FWIW, I second the idea of (optionally) being able to render the output of Tasks queries in tabular format.
Quite frankly I spend a lot of time visually parsing the list of tasks resulting from queries even with short mode turned off.

Perhaps it's just that I've used other task mgmt apps for many years that all show task lists in table format (one task per row, one column per task attribute), but I can't help but feel that I'm not the only one who would benefit from tabulated output from Tasks queries.

Kind of seeing an offer there to work with you.
Flattering though that is (and it is), I'm WAYYYY less qualified than you are, so I'd be doing you no favours there.

I'm happy to wait, and cheer everyone on from the sidelines.

Don't worry it wasn't aimed at you specifically... It was for any future readers of this who might be interested...

Hello all,
I built myself a calendar some time ago, which displays all the tasks of the Task Plugin. Here are different views to choose from and also the way the tasks are displayed can be personalized a bit. Maybe this, or a similar calendar can be included properly in the Task Plugin at some point.

@702573N Wow - that's incredible. Thank you very much indeed for sharing that! I will definitely look at how it works.

Just to note, for others, that I wrote this up in the Tasks user doc:
