Current User Status Module | |
Create a Drupal module in either Drupal 6 or 7 to fulfil the following criteria. | |
1. We wish to display a simple status on a User's profile page. For example "John Appleseed is currently [STATUS]" or "John Appleseed is currently not [STATUS]". [STATUS] could be replaced by something like "in the office" or "listening to music". This setting should be an on/off toggle switch. | |
2. The status will need to be a configurable value from its own settings page. Once the status value is set for the site, it should not need to be changed. This could take the form of a drop down menu or radio buttons with pre-configured values or a text box with one value. | |
3. There should be access restrictions in place to control who is allowed to change this setting. | |
4. The User Profile page also needs a restriction in place to who can alter the user's status. | |
5. The complete history of a user's status should be stored in its own database table along with a time reference. | |
6. A block should be available to show the current user's recent statuses along with the time. The block should show no more than 10 results. | |
Bonus points | |
1. Build an AJAX controlled block for toggling a user status so the user does not need to go to their profile page. | |
2. Use the Views module to create the recent status block. | |
3. Create a cron task to purge older values from the user status database table. |
