Development Discontinued PDF Print E-mail

As of today, active development for phpScheduleEm has official ceased.  I'm sure those few that are using phpScheduleEm has noticed that activity has been slim over the past many months.  Well, I decided today that the demand for this type of application is just not worth the effort to continue development.  If interest flares up, I may resume development.

I will of course continue providing support via email and/or the forums. If I can provide simple fixes for bugs, I will.  But if it requires a major effort, I may not be able to without some sort of payment.

Thanks,

Alan

I patched version 1.1 to include the fixes for the CSS issues in IE.  If you use IE, please redownload 1.1 , overwrite your installation with the new package and remove the install directory.  There is no need to run an upgrade.

Thanks!

 

 
2.0alpha Released! PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 27 January 2009 13:32

I'm releasing phpScheduleEm 2.0 alpha.  Please do not use this in a production environment as it is in an alpha phase.  Due to the alpha state, upgrading to versions between this one and the final 2.0 will be manual.  I've done a fair bit of work optimizing code, fixing some bugs found along the way, and adding some extra features.  Here are some of the changes so far

  • Moved debug information to a div below the content when using dbug mode for debugging
  • Added firePHP (http://www.firephp.org) as a debugging option
  • Fixed CSS issues with IE and new templates
  • Increased the number of weeks a template/schedule can have from 4 to 6
  • Moved template schedule data to its own database to make handling split schedules easier (coming feature)
  • Fixed bug where username was not checked for duplicates correctly when saving prefernces
  • Fixed bug in MySQL class where last error showed up for all sql statements in debug mode
  • Added multilanguage support - now uses a language file so you can easily change the wording of phpScheduleEm
  • Moved user description field from config param to language file
  • Upgraded phpMailer to version 2.3
  • Password is now hashed client side and sent to server to be rehashed with salt for extra security
  • Optimized code/sql calls
  • Assignment summary can now be disabled
  • Each user can set desired template, option to enable RSS feed (admin),daily assignment PDF format (users with access to view schedules), and/or show assignment summary (users with access to view schedules)
  • Can now assign any user as an admin
  • Welcome message now stored in database.  (Coming feature to store all emails as templates to be customizable)

 

The for sure features that I'm working on before releasing 2.0 final are:

  • Request module so that users can set their availability and request days off
  • Making the application fully multi-supervisor friendly where each supervisor can have his/her own set of users, templates, and schedules
  • Make emails to be sent to out to users fully customizable by the supervisor/admin

 

I may incoporate others as well depending on time restraints.

I need help testing this out.  If you are willing, please take it for a drive and post bugs you find in the forums.

Thanks!

1.1beta released! PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 28 November 2008 17:20

I've released a beta version of version 1.1. This new version fixes several bugs including a couple big ones (see the changelog).

There is now also a new web 2.0 look!

Don't like the new look?  No worries.  You can change it back to the "Traditional" theme from the Settings page.

Note that as with all developmental versions, this should not be used on a live site.  But I would greatly appreciate you testing it out and letting me know of any bugs you find!!

I'm working on the next version, 1.5ish, that will include the long awaited feature of a user requesting days off and/or setting their availability.

I'm trying desperately to get the documentation completed; again apologize for the delay.  I'm trying to juggle school, work, other projects I'm committed to and this!  If you run into problems while setting up and using phpScheduleEm, please email me!  I am usually able to reply back within a couple hours.

Download the new version here.
