03/24/2004: "Projects..."

Sorry, work distracted me for a minute...

PHP Projects - Ongoing and Planned

emControlPanel
"control panel" script which allows storing of administrative links, storing of bookmarks, code database, tasks/to do list, notepad and quick email form.
All of the main components are in place but we are tweaking design and functionality. Should be ready for release in a month or two, taking our time.

emTemplate
template creator script based on the CSS templates which can be downloaded from our site. Users can select one of the templates, enter their own content, change the presentation & formatting and the script outputs a downloaded template ready for use.
This is still in the early stages. It's an easy one to do but takes a lot of tedious dogwork. Won't be ready for a couple of months.

emTasks
Just a basic to do list type script. We haven't started this yet but all we need to do is take the Tasks component from emControlPanel, stick a new face on it and hey presto....well something like that. Time 2-3 months before we get around to it.

emQuickMail
Very basic script to allow you to send emails from the web. Designed so we can send web mails quickly without having to log in to the webmail account. Again we just need to take the component from emControlPanel. Extra feature on this is that it can be launched from a single button in IE. time 2-3 months.

emNetSearch
Search bar which lets you choose your search engine from a drop down list and send a query to that search engine. The script is complete, we just need to get it "packaged" and work on some basic documentation. It's very low priority so it won't be released for a few months.

emHelpDesk
A basic help desk system which allows customers to submit help tickets via the web. Email requests need to be handled by an Admin. The admin can assign requests to different departments, customer service reps can answer requests, close requests, reassign requests etc. Customers can log in and view the status of their requests.
Not started - but the layouts etc have been designed before when I was doing a Cold Fusion version of this script. Summertime before we start working on this.

emProjectManager
The latest idea, a basic project manager script to be used as a basic info protal to track progress on projects and manage team members etc. few details worked out yet and it will be months before we start this.

Sin é. That's about it for now, we'll come up with lots of new ideas soon gan dabht!


PS there's 2 more small applications which we made before and haven't released, a file download script and auto-reply form processing script. I had forgotten about those..
