Products.plonehrm 2.0rc1

Human Resource Management in Plone

Plone HRM basic product

plonehrm is a product that aims to be an extensible basis for simple HRM applications. Small firms, possibly divided into a couple of worklocations or other business units. Each with a couple of employees.

The actual functionality like address data, contracts, financial information and so must be provided by separate so-called employee modules.

It runs on Plone 3.0.

What plonehrm provides

• The basic content types “worklocation” and “employee”.

• An interface to which employee modules must conform.

• The content types have the capability to visualise themselves using the available employee modules.

• A portal_tool you can use: to register employee modules; to get a list of those employee modules; to get a list of all employees.

History of Products.plonehrm

2.0rc1 (2009-04-16)

• Require plonehrm.contracts 2.0 or higher. [maurits]

• Require plonehrm.personaldata 2.0 or higher. [maurits]

• Catch ValueError in the updateEmployee function when we try to add an instance of a content type that does not exist. [maurits+mike]

• Moved GenericSetup stuff from configure.zcml to the new profiles.zcml. [maurits+mike]

• Added an upgrade step to remove old import step from plonehrm.personaldata. [maurits+mike]

• Added an upgrade step to remove remove ‘PersonalData,personal’ from the portal_types_to_create property. [maurits+mike]

• In the upgrade step remove the ‘personal’ object from all Employees. [maurits+mike]

• migrated plonehrm.personaldata.notifications from plonehrm.personaldata.notifications to Products.plonehrm.notifications [maurits+mike]

• Removed PersonalData from the types that we create in each Employee. [maurits, jladage]

• added migration code for the merge of personaldata objects into the employee objects. [maurits+mike]

• If there is no contract workStartDate will still give a date whitch calculates te years a employee works at the company.

• In the Plonehrm.contracts added the years and months the employee is at the company. When the workStartDate is filled in in personal edit that is the date the employee started working at the company.[mike]

• added validator.py with DateValidator,AgeValidator to Products.plonehrmProductsplonehrm witch will check the date when adding new employees birthday, workStartDate to not be in the future. And will check employees workStartDate to not be too young.[mike]

• workStartDate is added to employee.py in content so you can see when the employee stared working at a company.[mike]

• employeeNumber is added to employee.py in content so the employees now have numbers in front of their name.[mike]

• Many files of Plonehrm.personal were copyed too Products.plonehrm, such as the content types and browser templates.[mike]

• Depend on the new collective.autopermission from Martin Aspeli for defining new permissions, getting rid of a hack we needed to do. [maurits]

1.0.4 (2009-02-16)

• Bug fix: load plone.app.portlets zcml in browser/configure.zcml before defining a portlet. Gave startup problems otherwise for some people. [maurits]

1.0.3 (2008-11-21)

• Fixed possible unicode error in the substituter. [maurits]

• Fixed possible unicode error when rendering the title or official name of an employee. [maurits]

1.0.2 (2008-10-20)

• Setting plonehrm as placeful workflow for all existing WorkLocations is now a GenericSetup upgrade step, which is run by reinstalling. [maurits]

• In the plonehrm placeful workflow, explicitly give Files and Images the Default workflow. Otherwise they will still be visible/searchable. [maurits]

• Added placeful workflow ‘plonehrm’. This is set when creating a WorkLocation. Using this gives every content item the worklocation_workflow, except Employees who get the employee_workflow. Upon reinstall this policy is set in all WorkLocations. [maurits]

1.0.1 (2008-10-10)

• Bug fix: load plone.app.portlets zcml before loading our zcml to avoid Zope startup error on some computers. Thanks to davideilmore for finding this. [maurits]

• End-of-line and svn:ignore fixes. [maurits]

1.0 (2008-10-02)

• Added notification control panel. [maurits]

• Added profiles/default/metadata.xml. [maurits]

1.0 beta 4 (2008-09-02)

• Eggified: now available as Products.plonehrm on the python cheese shop. [maurits]

• Fixed the email_adresses_of_local_managers function in utils.py so it correctly gets email addresses and full names of members. [maurits]

1.0 beta 3 (2008-07-28)

• Only test setup + pep8/pyflakes changes. [reinout]

1.0 beta

• Make Employee searchable and add its title to the searchable text. [maurits]

• Added substitution parameters ‘trial_period’ and ‘contract_duration’. [maurits]

• Added tests for the workflows. [reinout]

• Added first workflow: active/inactive for employee. This also adds the roles hrm_manager, worklocation_manager and worklocation_employee. Still old-fashioned 2.5 workflow code, though. [reinout]

• First version of working worklocation view with rendering of employee modules. [reinout]

• Removed interface. Using configuration now to handle the title/url/template/etc for use in the employee_view, instead of relying on methods in the employee modules. Should get rid of some serious amount of code. [reinout]

• Added a few fields that can come in handy for contracts: official name of the worklocation, address. [reinout]

• Removed dependency on utility, the view now grabs objects that can be adapted to IEmployeeModule and filters out employee modules in that way. Later on, some caching is probably needed: objectValues()! [reinout]

• Moved Description to the end of the fields and added initials. And…. started this changelog :-) [reinout]
