teacher want to send an apologize message to his students

[sad]

I'm using alfresco 4.0d but my problem is how to imagine this process :

>>teacher want to send an apologise message to his student that he is not coming for his lecture suppose every student sees this message when he enter to the system 

>>also student want to take teacher permission to tell him that his is sick and he will not come to his lecture today


I need the best steps to do this process and every thing like it in alfresco and how to do this process by steps.

should some of this process needs to do by drupal?

well you can use the Alfresco share's collaboration power.
features like project Dashboard,project calender could be used to achieve the same.
And for second requirement you could probably use workflow as well.

Hi,

For your first requirement: Say teacher is site manager of particular site eg> School, Teacher can change his status and set it as "On leave Today".
Now when other students who will be having other role say site contributor will see this teacher's updated status in their my-activities dashlet.. where you can filter results based on "Status Update", so user can see what their teacher has posted, or in "School" site there is one Site-member dashlet is there, it will also show user's  status with username …

Or.. the status that User is setting , it will be stored in person node as property "cm:userStatus", so you can create one custom site-dashlet, which will show teachers updated status, from this dashlet also students can get their teacher's status ..

For other requirement student need permission for Leave, in that case student can start a simple workflow say OOTB Ad-Hoc workflow, simple approve reject workflow.. which will come to Teacher for approval …

i will let you know if any other good approach is available ..

Thanks.
