create a log

[mcharlesworth]

So I could use some help, I want to make a page in my program that every 2 hours durning the day, starting at the time they say they woke up (which can be adjustable), has them select there location from a list of pre determined locations then save that to a log, with a time stamp. Would that be possible? 

Thanks

This is probably something that Dan could help you with. @mudmin

Hi @mcharlesworth
Sorry for the slow response. This one took a bit of coding. I basically just made you an example that you can modify as needed.

This is patch.php - it goes in your root and gets run once. It adds the needed column to your users table and adds a sample log table.

The contents of this file go in usersc/includes/head_tags.php

Note that this is what deals with seeing if it's been too long and they need to reup their location. I have it currently set to 2 mins, but you can change it as needed.
You can also do all sort of checks in there, like if you don't want admins to do it, you can do something like
if (!hasPerm([2],$user->data()->id)){ //around the whole thing

Finally is location.php, which is where they get redirected to update their info. You'll obviously have to personalize that however you want it, I just got the form working so you can see what needs to happen.

This is location.php

Hope that helps.
