Ryan's In/Out Board Description

Ryan's In/Out Board is a perl driven in/out board for small-medium size organisations. Ryan's In/Out Board is a perl driven in/out board for small-medium size organisations that needs staff to be aware of other staff whereabouts.(Ryan's In/Out Board will work for larger organisations but it may be more cumbersome to use with larger numbers of staff).Here are some key features of "Ryan s In Out Board":· Displays name,phone,status,comments and date/time for each staff member· Staff are able to quickly change their status by either clicking on their name or calling the main script with a "name" parameter.· Standard comments are provided (Lunch, Leave etc) but can be added to/replaced by any comment the user wishes. · With the aid of a cron job it will also clear all staff as OUT every night, without removing any comments they have entered. · It has a simple and clear interface and users can also search for the status of any staff member. · The generated page can be automatically refreshed at your chosen interval and status colours are defined by you. · It also displays staff internal phone numbers and you can use your own header and footer files.Requirements:· Ryan's In/Out Board uses a simple text file as a database and thus only requires a fairly recent perl installation (> 5.6) and a web server capable of serving perl cgi scripts. You should also have the Date::EzDate module installed (CPAN / PPM). This is new from v2.0 - previously Ryan's In/Out Board used the system date command but this fell over on Windows servers as the Windows date command is so minimalistic. To make it truly cross platform I have used EzDate.· Ryan's In/Out Board was written to fulfill a need at my employer Contact a Family but I have attempted to make it useable by other organisations. It has been tested on SuSE Linux 7.1 to 9.0 and Mandrake Linux 8 to 9, all running Apache 1.3.2 to 2.0.44 and Perl 5.005_3 and up. Although I have not personally used it on a Windows server I have been told it works on Apache and IIS under that OS. You'll still need Perl and Date::EzDate. I've also had a report of it running fine on a Mac OS-X servers and I see no reason why it won't work under other Unix like OS's.What's New in This Release:· Optional departments for users have been added.· The resulting board can be filtered to show only one team or department.· Sorting by any field in either direction is possible simply by clicking the field title.· Security checks are in place to increase data file integrity.· Additional refresh when changing to avoid a situation where auto-refresh occurs as a user submits data.· The code has been tidied up: now "use strict;" works.
