Admin Sticky Notes and Reminders

Overview

On-screen post-it notes and reminder system for Joomla administrators. Notes persist across sessions and can be shared between admin users. Reminders trigger notifications at scheduled times.

Core Features

Sticky notes — draggable, resizable post-it style notes on the admin dashboard
Color coding — multiple colors (yellow, green, blue, pink, orange) for categorization
Per-user notes — each admin sees their own notes
Shared notes — optionally share notes with all admins or specific user groups
Reminders — set date/time reminders on any note
Reminder notifications — Joomla system message or browser notification when due
Minimize/collapse — minimize notes to title bar only
Pin to dashboard — notes shown on MokoSuite dashboard or floating on all admin pages
Rich text — basic formatting (bold, italic, lists) in note content
Archive — archive completed notes instead of deleting

Database Schema

CREATE TABLE #__mokosuiteclient_notes (
  id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  user_id INT NOT NULL,
  title VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT '',
  content TEXT,
  color VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'yellow',
  position_x INT DEFAULT 20,
  position_y INT DEFAULT 20,
  width INT DEFAULT 250,
  height INT DEFAULT 200,
  minimized TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0,
  pinned TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0,
  shared TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0,

  reminder_sent TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0,
  archived TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0,
  ordering INT DEFAULT 0,
  created DATETIME NOT NULL,
  modified DATETIME NOT NULL
);

AJAX endpoints for CRUD operations (create, update position/size, delete, archive)
Task plugin for checking due reminders and sending notifications
JavaScript drag-and-drop with position persistence
CSS-only post-it styling (shadow, slight rotation, paper texture)

UI

Floating notes overlay on dashboard (or all admin pages if pinned)
"Add Note" button in module header
Each note: title bar with color dot, close/minimize/pin buttons, editable content area
Reminder icon with date picker
Notes list/grid toggle for compact view

Joomla Events

Task scheduler integration for reminder checks
onAfterRender for injecting floating notes on all pages (when pinned)
