I think Tim is right here. Individual logins work in theory but in a busy restaurant where supposedly a single computer will be logged in all day and used by everyone... passwords would get swapped, written on a post-it and other secure things in a heartbeat. Security = putting the post-it under the keyboard so you have to move it 4in to see the password. :)
As for updating the page. Go with ajax. The page loads displaying "new" orders to fill. javascript is provided with a timestamp of when the page loaded and can poll the server "any new orders since ... 17:46:32". The server can simply reply true or false to this request and only when there are new orders do you need to refresh the page. Since this will be lightweight and invisible to the user you can poll every few seconds if you want since the request should be very efficient and not take up a lot of time for the server. (You can also update the list with ajax if you like but it is s bit more work for little benefit.) /Martin On Sep 16, 3:56 pm, Aivaras <faifas1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Create each employee a different user and log which orders did the employee > see. > > Then, after firing a employee you will only have to delete his/her user. > Simple as that. > > Faifas > > > > On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 14:48, Tim <t...@gurske.com> wrote: > > > Thanks for the replies.
