Requests module for Sahana Eden 2.0
Currently there are 2 parallel Requests systems in the REQ module:
- req_req
- req_need
req_req was the first system built, initially to support the Logistics functionality in Inv, via req_req_item, req_commit and req_commit_item
Subsequently this was extended to support:
- Requests for Skills, via req_req_skill & req_commit_skill & req_commit_person
- 'Simple' Requests (just a textbox of details)
- Planned to be extended to support Requests for Assets & Shelter, although that was never developed.
Whilst the Logistics usecase worked pretty well, the other usecases never really worked properly due to the fact that req_req required Requests to originate from a Site....this is why req_need was developed...to provide a simpler Requests system than req_req's simple mode, which could be flexibly extended to originate from Sites, Orgs or People. Could also be flexibly extended to support requests for Items, Skills, etc
Proposal:
- REQ should only have a single Requests system, for which the req_need model is more suitable.
- req_req should be stripped down to it's logistics core usecase & moved to inv_req
- Remove types (so remove support for Simple, Skills, etc)
- Similarly req_req_item/req_commit/req_commit_item/req_approver/req_req_tag/req_order_item/req_project_req should be moved to inv_req_item/inv_commit /inv_commit_item/inv_req_tag/inv_req_approver/inv_req_item_order/inv_req_project
- Also move associated Controllers/Classes/Functions/View
- Remove current req_skill/req_commit_person/req_commit_skill models
- req_job moved to req_need_job
There are also some models which are just used by SHARE & should be moved to that template (as share_*):
- req_need_line
- req_need_response
- req_need_response_line
- req_need_response_organisation
