We have a customer that had a custom web application built for submitting course work…
The application has a front end for users and administrators.
The application access’ the Users in the Open Directory and gives them a login based on that…
Basically the system allows students to submit course work it copies a folder from their home folder re names the folder and dumps it into an in box.
When the course work deadline is up then they can no longer sub mit work.
So the application has access to the LDAP directory, copies folders on the server and also provides a reciept in the form of a downloadale pdf file when work is submitted.
The admin side has the ability to allocate submissions deadlines and time cut off etc for each student.
Problem is… the whole thing was built on zend php and javascript with creole etc the developer has done a runner and the institution would like to move it to a new server….
I have looked at the whole installation for some time and have concluded it is not going to be a very easy move…
Can anyone help ?
Is there a simpler solution to this ? possibly a very simple php web page that triggers an applescript etc what do people think ?
Possibly we could move to use filemaker …
