Hi, I am new to Twiki and Development, i want to develop a simple employee leave application portal where an employee can request for leave online.

I have successfully installed twiki 5.0 on RHEL 5 using http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiOnRedHat

I wanted your kind inputs as to how i could go ahead with this. Would really appreciate if you could guide me to some documents as well.

Thank you,

Discussion and Answer

Hello. This is a very resumed path to an application.

1. Create a form with the data the employee is supposed to provide (check TWikiForms). Register it on WebPreference topic. You can name it LeaveRequestForm. (Include in the form fields the fields for you to track the state of the request, not only the employee data.)

1. Create a template topic and attach the form to it (check TWikiTemplates). You can name it LeaveRequestTemplate.

1. Create a template to create a new leave request, using an html form to create a new topic based on the template. See an example in TWikiTemplates. You can name this topic CreateNewLeave. It should produce new topics named, let's say, LeaveRequest001, LeaveRequest002, etc.

1. Create a search topic to list the created leave request, using the SEARCH and FormattedSearch features.
