Preliminary images of the Vacation Scheduler program Version 2.0

Below are some preliminary screen shots of the updated program. There is still a lot of work to do but I wanted to let people see we are working on it.

A new install script has been created. The initial release will only support MySQL. Hopefully with some help it will then be ported to PostgreSQL and MSSQL.

 

After you create a database (Probably with phpMyAdmin) and user with privileges, you will open the install script and enter the information to create the tables for the project.

After the script runs you will see success or failure of the table creation.

You will now have the opportunity to create the administrator password during the install process.

Multiple views of the calendar will now be available.

I have not come up with an idea for the header section yet. If someone is a graphics person wiling to donate a calendar image or something similar it would be appreciated.

The pages are now css driven so without a lot of work an administrator could create a whole new look just by modifying the css page and creating a few images. Below is the default calendar view when linking to the calendar page. Notice by viewing October 30th you will now be able to add multiple time off types to the same day. Also a "Go To" dropdown has been added to easily jump several months forward or back.

The "Detail" view is great for getting the most detailed information for a month including a note that can be sent with your time off request.

The "Yearly" view will allow you to quickly see time off that you have scheduled over a full year. When completed the background color will be different for each time off type entered for easily seeing the days you have off.
