Use this module to manage time keeping, invoicing, payments, reporting for your staff and your clients.
This module integrates seamlessly into Seriti skeleton framework.
You need to first install the skeleton framework and then download the source files for the module and follow these instructions.
It is possible to use this module independantly from the seriti skeleton but you will still need the Seriti tools library.
It is strongly recommended that you first install the seriti skeleton to see a working example of code use before using it within another application framework.
That said, if you are an experienced PHP programmer you will have no problem doing this and the required code footprint is very small.
1.) Install Seriti Skeleton framework(see the framework readme for detailed instructions) :
composer create-project seriti/slim3-skeleton [directory-for-app].
Make sure that you have thsi working before you proceed.
2.) Download a copy of Client manager module source code directly from github and unzip,
or by using git clone https://github.com/seriti/client-manager from command line.
Once you have a local copy of module code check that it has following structure:
/Clients/(all module implementation classes are in this folder)
/setup_add.php
/routes.php
/templates/(all templates for module)
3.) Copy the Clients folder and all its contents into [directory-for-app]/app folder.
4.) Open the routes.php file and insert the $this->group('/client', function (){} route definition block within the existing $app->group('/admin', function () {} code block contained in existing skeleton [directory-for-app]/src/routes.php file.
5.) Open the setup_app.php file and add the module config code snippet into bottom of skeleton [directory-for-app]/src/setup_app.php file. Please check the table_prefix value to ensure that there will not be a clash with any existing tables in your database.
6.) Copy the contents of templates folder to [directory-for-app]/templates/ folder
7.) Now in your browser goto URL:
http://localhost:8000/admin/client/dashboard if you are using php built in server
OR
http://www.yourdomain.com/admin/client/dashboard if you have configured a domain on your server
Now click link at bottom of page Setup Database: This will create all necessary database tables with table_prefix as defined above.
Thats it, you are good to go. Add some clients, capture some timesheets, generate some invoices, view reports.
NB: To customise the invoice PDF you need to use existing seriti skeleton customise module.
You can also use the same customise module to add Client module routes to application menu.
