TrackTime has a built-in timer, but you have to manually trigger it. What about doing this automatically?
With Remote Tracking, every time you stop working on your customer site, the plugin will send the time spent on the project on your TrackTime site. Pretty nice huh?
- 1. System checks
-
Remote Tracking needs cURL installed (preferred) or
allow_url_fopenset to true - 2. Active for the user
-
Choose for which user Remote Tracking should trigger the timer
- 3. Enable tracking on
-
You can choose to enable the tracking on backend or frontend only or on both part of the site
- 4. TrackTime site
-
The complete URL of your site (with TrackTime installed, of course)
- 5. Project ID
-
The ID of the project you're working on. You can find it on the project list
- 6. Stack Hour ID (optional)
-
The stack hour ID linked to the project. You can find it on the stack hour list
- 7. Secret word
-
This is the secret word used to authenticate Remote Tracking on your site. It must be the same of the one set inside TrackTime params.
- 8. Debug
-
Set this param to yes only if requested by tech support. If Remote Tracking can't send data to your main site, a debug file will be produced in this location
yoursite/cache/remotetrack.php

Remote Tracking is a user plugin, so it's fired when the you login or logout. If you leave the customer site without logging out, or your session expires, Joomla! will kick you off without firing the logout event, so nothing will be stored. |

In order to work properly, Remote Tracking needs that the cURL library is installed or Sorry! |
