0 Tidosho Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 This script was posted as an example for people to modify anyway they choose for their personal use. I take issue with it being called "unprofessional". It was meant to suit MY needs, and shared so a ton of coding from the start for others wasn't needed. I generate a random Invoice ID each time with my customers, so poking in numbers +1, +2, etc. won't work. And as stated as well, it doesn't share any PII. All it does is tell you at what state of repair your machine is at. Who is going to do anything with that info? I can certainly see the want or need for additional security such as your zip code or whatever in addition to the Invoice ID - If you want to use the script and want additional security, add it in. But to call the script "unprofessional" and my business practices into question is wholeheartedly uncalled for when you know nothing about them. The script isn't even being used yet for my customers...I have tweaks to do myself, but the base is completed, and that is why it was shared. There was only Adam saying it was unprofessional, everyone else gets the point of it, and appreciates it. Thanks for it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 T3X4S Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 At first I was laughing at Adam's comment - because there is no information that anyone could do anything with.Then he mentioned "what other corners are being cut"And knowing something about the pure stupidity of the general public, I can see how this would be an issue... one that is easily fixed.I think the OP was nice in offering this up and with a little modding once could put some security on the front end.If there is one certainty in the universe, it is that people are stupid, short-sighted, and if given a minute chance to complain - they will complain.

0 adam7288 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thank you Texas - I am not catering to people like Neowin forum posters when I run my business - I am catering to the general public and the lowest common denominator that represents.

0 Mr. Black Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Just to make you happy Adam, I have released Version 1.1 that includes a PIN Code requirement in addition to the Invoice ID and is configurable on or off (Default is off). https://github.com/azchrisf/StatusScript (Click "Download ZIP" on the right side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xendrome Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I vote for 2 factor authentication next, give everyone that comes to your shop a Entrust token so we can protect all of that generic information :) lol Don't over complicate it, cause them people won't use it.

LOL sure we'll distribute random keycode RSA dongles, you'll need to confirm your handprint, etc. etc. :laugh: But seriously, it's off by default and looks the same as v1 except when you enable a variable in the config file. I'm not adding anything else "Security" related. I'm honestly out of ideas at this point to add, so if anyone has any, shoot 'em to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Mr. Black
NEW VERSION AVAILABLE
and click "Download Zip"
I created this simple script that shows a customer the status of their repair in your shop, and wanted to give it to the community to share.
Has a simple interface for the customer and an administration interface.
One of the scripts on the web wants $200 for the same functionality, so I created this in a few days and suits my needs, and maybe yours!
Uses a MySQL database and PHP.
Screenshots:
My question is also where can I upload this or distribute as well?
Thanks
