I've looked around without finding any modules and little discussion on creating an In/Out board for an Intranet. Can anyone point me to something already out there?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Peterson

what is in/out board for intranet?

time in / time out like a clock in system.

As far as I am aware there is no public module that does this.

The only way I can think to try and pull something like this off without writing a custom module would be to use two CCK created content types & views.

What I'd like to see is a Block on the Home page that lists all members of a group along with thier status as being In or Out of the office. I'd like to make it simple by just having a radio button group next to their name labled "In" and "Out", and then maybe a time field where they can enter when they expect to reurn.

Hmm.. it is not hard, you only need to create a new content type using CCK.module called as: "boardinfo", which contains:
- username
- groupname
- status (radio button for IN or OUT)
- expected_return

then create a content of "boardinfo" for every member. now use Views.module to create block by selecting Filter - node type = "boardinfo".

and to make up the look the "board-info" block you need to create a block-boardinfo.tpl.php. add an "Edit" link for every line/username so u can edit the "expected return time" easier.

I'm somewhat new to this but will give it a shot and let you know how it turns out.

We are looking to do an in/out board on Drupal too. Were you able to create an in/out board? If so, do you have any documentation you could share for a non-programmer?

Thanks!
