I am just starting to dig into and study Drupal, and so far I am really liking the platform. However, before I go whole-hog and commit a zillion hours to learn everything I will need to pull off what I want to do, I thought it might be a good idea to ask here on the forum if I can even do what I want to do WITH DRUPAL and whether or not there are modules out there that will help me along the way. I know that hiring a developer is an option if it is beyond my abilities, but I am never afraid of a challenge, so I would really like to learn and do it myself.
With that intro, here is what I would like to create.
A membership program that users can register for from our web page, OR be registered at our place of business. The members do NOT need access to the site, other than to check their "points."
I would like to print ID cards with the member's picture, their name, and with a barcode on the back that can be scanned with a handheld scanning device, or with a scan app on say, an ipod touch or ipad that is logged into the membership program.
When scanned by the member, member enters their password (computer kiosk) and they can view their points.
When scanned by an employee, we need to track time until the card is scanned again--so a start time, end time, amount of time, and running total time calculated. Points are credited based on time.
