Thread

We’re using EE for our company intranet. I’m trying to set up our PTO (Personal Time Off) request form via a SAEF (Stand Alone Entry Form) on an intranet page.

This is what I’d like to make happen:
1. User logs into the intranet and goes to the request form to request time off.
2. After submission, the request is marked “Pending” (via statuses) and sent (via notifications) to their supervisor.
3. The supervisor logs into the admin area and approves the time off (by changing the status to “Open”).

Can this be done?

My first thought is that I’ll need to do the following:

- Create weblogs for each team and set notifications for new entries to go to the supervisor of that team.

- Use something like the following to detect what member group the user is in & assign the weblog for the entry form accordingly…

TOP OF TEMPLATE:

{if group_title=="TEAMNAME"}{assign_variable:ptoweblog="request_TEAMNAME"}{if:else if group_title=="TEAMNAME2"}{assign_variable:ptoweblog="request_TEAMNAME2"} ... {/if}

START OF ENTRY_FORM:

{exp:weblog:entry_form weblog="{ptoweblog}" return="calendar/request/thanks"}

Is this doable/the only way?

Thanks for your help!

Hello, have the same question!>

Have you make this code work?

And, what if you have different supervisors for each group of members..

No, sorry. I’d still love some help on it if anyone can help.
