About

This project is PHP Timeclock v1.04 with the Punchclock v0.8 add-on already installed.

Timeclock - What Is It?

(from http://timeclock.sf.net/ ...)

It is a simple yet effective web-based timeclock system. It allows you to track all employee time as well as upcoming vacations and more, and it can replace manual sign-in/sign-out sheets.

An administration piece is included which allows an administrator to add or delete users, change a user's time or password (if using passwords is enabled), and hide the reports from your users where only an admin or a reports user has access to them. These reports can be run to show daily activitiy or for a range of dates, and can be run for all users, or individually for each user.

Installation

New Install

• Unpack the distribution into your webserver's document root directory.
• Create a database named "timeclock" or whatever you wish to name it.
• Create a mysql user named "timeclock" (or whatever you wish to name it) with a password.
• Give this user at least SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, ALTER, and CREATE privileges to ONLY this database.
• Import the tables using the create_tables.sql script included in this distribution.
• Edit config.inc.php.
• Open index.php with your web browser.
• Click on the Administration link on the right side of the page. Input "admin" (without the quotes) for the username and "admin" (without the quotes) for the password. Please change the password for this admin user after the initial setup of PHP Timeclock is complete.
• Create at least one office by clicking on the Create Office link on the left side of the page. You MUST create an office to achieve the desired results. Create more offices if needed.
• Create at least one group by clicking on the Create Group link on the left side of the page. You MUST create a group to achieve the desired results. Create more groups if needed.
• Add your users by clicking on the Create New Users link, and assign them to the office(s) and group(s) you created above. Give Sys Admin level access for users who will administrate PHP Timeclock. Give Time Admin level access for users who will need to edit users' time, but who will not need Sys Admin level access. If you require the reports to be secured so only certain users can run them, then give these users reports level access.

Migration from another verison of 1.04 (ie: old official release)

• Backup your current install directory and database.
• Delete all files in your current install directory.
• Copy all files from a zip of this repo's master branch (https://github.com/andrew867/timeclock/archive/master.zip) into your install directory.
• Modify the new config.inc.php file to match your old settings, make sure you correctly set your timezone in php.ini (recommended) or config.inc.php.

Roles

Admin level access and reports level access are completely separate from each other. Just because a user has admin level access does not give that user reports level access. You must specifically give them reports level access when you are creating or editing the users, if you choose to secure these reports for these users. To make PHP Timeclock lock down the reports to only these users, set the use_reports_password setting in config.inc.php to "yes".
