Hi All,
has anyone developed a leave calendar system that allows people to apply for leave, has managers review and then approve and displays via a calendar? We have a requirement to develop for a client and was hoping to borrow/purchase something close to requirements to speed the process.
Thanks
David

Why not adapt the existing calendar product. I have built a leave system and duty roster that enables the workers to
1- see the rota
2- enter preferences for vacancies
3- enter periods of absence so they do not show in the pick list.
(The absences can be entered daily or in block in another standard dialog.)
I have used the calendar in monthly view and inserted labels just after the <!-- BEGIN Day --> tag. The labels contain html and show the names of the personnel assigned a duty with a different coloured background according to the duty, there are active links to confirmation and preference dialogs. The labels are built within the 'BeforeShowday' event.
The initials of people on leave are shown at the bottom of each day entry.
I find this has worked well and might be helpful to others. However we only have a small workforce (about 20) so it may not be for everyone.
In the BeforeShowday event I use the $Container->CurrentProcessingDate variable to pull data from the Mysql tables for the current day.
What you do with this is only limited by your imagination, i.e. you could display a table of active links for each day indicating the status of employees by the colour of the background for each element in the table embedded in the calendar at that point.
Just a thought,
Tony

Hi Tony,
thanks for your reply. Does you have this hosted anywhere I could see it? We dont need anything flash. I had a look at the existing calendar control and it does offer some functionality that would assist. I was hoping to provide a view similar to a gant chart showing employee names on the left and dates across the top.
I was really throwing this out to help us speed up the development. Happy to pay a fee to get something we can use as a quick start.
Thanks
David

I've pm'd you.
Tony
p.s. its nothing like a gant chart !
pps use IE, firefox does not show everything (css errors on my part!) i.e highlighting of forced duty assignments (they have a brown border, (there may be none at present))
