TimeTrex: Time Clock Integration - Third Party

Now that TimeTrex has finally released the HTML5 version of local install I will be meshing it with SambaPOS again. I will post updates to this thread and I will expand on my tutorials to show more advanced functions like integrating payroll finalization with work periods… etc.

First here is what the non configured login screen looks like… I will be adding my own branding and logo/graphics so just ignore all the default stuff.

The automation command on left is Clock Out and it does work. It is greyed out because I am logged in as admin and admin cannot clock in and out in my setup.

Time Sheet View:

In the upcoming weeks I will show you how to integrate various features into SambaPOS using PHP and Various Framework libraries, some of them I need to study more myself.

I have already setup most of it and it is working, but SambaPOS reads exceptions from TimeTrex and if an employee tries to clock in to early or takes too long of a lunch or forgets to take a lunch a popup message appears in samba that warns them they generated an exception and what the exception is.

When I log in as administrator for the first time during the work period SambaPOS will popup a message telling me how many Timesheet exceptions occurred the previous work period and will give me option to go to the Time Clock:TimeTrex screen to view the exceptions.

These are just a few of the integrations I will be doing… It will take me a good while to get it fully setup as some of the features I need to study myself before I can implement it.

hi , were you able to mesh timetrex with SambaPOS , i would want to skip/bypass the timetrex login screen by passing the credentials directly to timetrex.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated

I have not touched timetrex in a very long time. But it was open source and fairly easy to integrate too.
