Hi everyone,
First up - I'm no IT guru. In-fact I don't even work in the field. However I have installed and been using RC for a little while now with the Calendar working great!
The Calendar interface is a natural way to enter time information and it seemed to me that this plugin be quickly transferred to a new Timesheets plugin that could run parallel to the Calendar plugin. Once the time data is in the backend, calculations can help run a project or company using other UI.
I imagine this would mean:
- Duplicating the Calendar plugin directory to a new Timesheet directory.
- Renaming the calendar.php to timesheets.php.
- Duplicating the SQL backend to a new blank table called "timesheets"
- Redirecting the Timesheets plugin to the new table.
- Adding a new Timesheets graphic to the task bar.
- Renaming data fields eg Summary --> Project and Category --> Stage.
- Adding the plugin in the main.inc.php config.
I've naively had a go at doing this but without a full programming knowledge quickly got nowhere. Obviously there is more at play.
I'd really appreciate some help with this as I think it would be a great addition to RC.
Let me know your thoughts.
