Any update on this?

 

Could do with this at our school.

Subscribed, would like to see both systems in use and can see them being used at our place.

It's a real shame nothing has come of this thread. Was really looking forward to seeing what people had coded up...

Only issue is that open sourcing ours requires some serious, epic amount of work as it's fully integrated into our in-house built MIS/portal/everything system. We'll see what we can do.

I'm looking at coding one now, not quite sure what to code it in.

I could write it in aspx with a web frontend/sql backend - use an iPad and a stand, problem with this is linking a label printer to it.

The other option I was thinking of was a linx 10 windows tablet and coding it in VB.net and running it as an application - should have no issues with the printing then as I can directly attach the printer, stands are also available

Waiting to see what's released because I've been asked for a pod in reception where a student can come in and look up their own info to self-print a late slip. Save on sign-in books and the receptionist getting bogged down. Can see this working for that, as well as other things like guest passes etc.

Look up php print you can get it to print to a networked label printer

[caffrey]

Seems like brother do the network label printers, wasn't sure if they did - it's a little bit more cost though (QL-720NW). The problem I had with printing was the print dialog box popping up although after I looked into it further you can start chrome with --kiosk --kiosk-printing for this, but I'm not sure if this would work on iPads - I'll test it out later.

One of the techies here wrote our Signing in software, again like most of the others he would love to go back and rewrite it as he was learning while coding. Ours does visitor signature, QR code generation, QR code sign out, takes photo of visitor, AD integration.. prints ID badge (Brother QL-570), emails staff member when a visitor has signed in to see them. For repeat visitors they can sign in using a MiFare card. There is an admin interface for office staff so they can see who is currently on site and also print a fire evac report.

 

It runs on a locked down Windows 7 installation, mini-ITX PC, 21.5" Touch Screen (Dell S2240T ), Brother QL-570 label printer

 

It works great for us, he's saved the place a heap of cash and we are really happy with it.

Did anyone make any progress on this at all?

Any updates on this thread?

[aidenbran2000]

Going to bump this thread again. I hope that someone created a system that they could share as i have got to put a solution in at the start of the next academic year and looks like i will be getting a paid solution.

Drop me a message with what you want it to do, I started making one last year for the school I used to work in then I left to do a Software Engineering Degree Apprenticeship and completely forgot about it, but if you let me know what you want from it etc. I could have a play about with it. I'm currently working on a website for family members as well as degree work but I can fit it in somewhere and see what I can do for you

[SpaceInvader83]

Came across this, looks very capable for the price, with a few tweaks it should do what most people require.

 

Visitor Signin System - PHP Scripts | CodeCanyon

[FN-GM]

Did any of the custom build systems get released please?

[caffrey]

I decided to make one myself. It's done in VB.net with a mssql backend, I'm still working on what to do with the frontend admin but at the mo its just a series of datagrids with the option to sign people in or out.

It's also hard coded to one screen size (1366x768)

 

 

 

Students / Staff go to :-

 

 

As you start typing, it grabs the username from Active Directory and auto populates the dropdown

 

Visitors go to :--

 

 

This prints out a label to a brother QL-570 when done, it also has a special 6 digit code printed which they use to sign out with :-

 

 

 

This isn't in production yet, but works well. I could release the "code" but I would need to sanitise it and also provide SQL info (Stored procedures / tables etc.) it's not in an easily install-able state and it's not exactly pretty!

[round2it]

that would be great thanks

I'm currently in the final stages of writing a visitor sign in system based on php / html5 and mysql.

So far i have

 

Visitor sign in

Staff Sign in

Pupil Sign in

 

Visitor signs in, accepts site AUP, fills in personal details and who they want to see, they then have a photo taken, signature captured and the person they want to see is then emailed with photo of visitor and name.

Visitor signs out with either the QR code (just point it at the built in webcam) or the unique visitor id number.

Sticker badge is then printed off (brother QL-570) with personal detail, who they are seeing and id number and qr code for signing out purposes.

 

staff can sign in and out using an rfid id badge, self enrolment if badge isnt recognised (manual signin and out with 4 digit pin or admin can do this manually through the admin back end)

 

parents can sign in /out their child they fill in a pupil form, select the year they are in then class and then teacher, the teacher is then emailed.

 

All options can be set in the admin end, so disable photo taking, signature taking etc. admin user can manually sign visitors in advanced. force sign out visitors, reprint badges.

 

fire alarm when activated through the admin end emails out a list of visitors currently signed in and also sends a register to the default printer.

 

admin users have a personal profile so can also reset their own passwords.

 

auto sign out of visitors,staff and pupils (pupils get archived off into another table for auditing purposes)

 

(screenshot of admin end)

(screenshot of visitor frontend)

 

(aup)

(on screen keyboard)

At a glance the admin end shows last 8 sign outs and last 8 current signed in visitors / staff with various options for searching who is signed in / out.

 

The visitor frontend has configurable options eg site title, logo etc.

 

The only requirements so far is that it needs to be run in chrome kiosk mode (this allows auto printing for the badge creation) windows (this could easily change, it uses windows temp folder to hold temp image creation) apache and mysql (the options table needs to be in antelope compatibility mode version mysql version > 5.5 not barracuda < mysql vers 5.5)

 

I'm hoping that it should be finished in a week or so but would gladly let people try it once the code is a little cleaned up?

 

Thanks

 

ps it has now been installed for a while and has been working great!

Looks nicer than mine, I'm terrible at UX saying that my code isn't much better but it works

As long as it does the job and is stable... doesn't really matter what it looks like!

Are you going to shell Windows to load your application full screen?

[caffrey]

I could but at the mo it's impossible to break out of without a keyboard attached, the red X just takes you back to the home screen
