<pre wrap="">Hi,
I am in the process of developing a time card application that
integrates with Asterisk and I would like to know if anyone has done
this and if so can you recommend an open source time card application
that might reduce the amount of work required to connect it to Asterisk.
I do not want to reinvent the wheel and write a WEB based time card app,
I would rather spend my time getting Asterisk to connect to it. I will
be using LAMP so it will be written in PHP instead of C...
Thanks

Do you mean employee time-card? With mysql database this would be very
interesting project.
Do you have a short description of what it would do?

Hi,<br>
<br>
Thanks for responding. The basic system would work as follows. An
employee would call in and would transfer to a menu (either via an
operator or via the phone system if no operator is available).
Something like press 1 for sales and service press 2 for accounting and
press 3 if you are an employee. Upon pressing three the user would be
asked to enter their employee ID and password. The system would capture
the employee ID , time of day and if available the caller ID from the
location they are calling from. When they are finished they would
repeat the process thus capturing the finish data for filling out a
time card. The usage is a group of field nurses that need an easy way
to enter data into there time cards since the Internet is not always
available from the locations they call from. Although the caller ID can
easily be spoofed this is not as important as capture of the time and
employee data for filling out a time card. A second application uses
the same theory but for janitors. The caller ID helps confirm they are
where they are supposed to be. There are several PHP time cards out
there but I am trying to find the best for interfacing with Asterisk.
Phase one would be to capture the data to a flat file phase 2 would be
to get it into a database, phase three would interface it to an
existing LAMP based time card apt and phase 4 would allow for phone
access to information stored in the time card such as how many hours
worked, hours by day etc. A final phase would interface these to both
Peachtree and Quickbooks.<br>
<br>
I am working on a more definitive outline right now but I wanted some
feedback from the development community before doing so, so that I did
not reinvent the wheel.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
