Any ideas how to do this?

[JADM]

I run a site for wounded Servicemembers going through disability evaluation. I would like my members to be able to post the dates of various events in their cases. I would then like to be able to pull the info from the users posts and come up with current and historical average times for processing cases depending on which service they are in and where their case is being processed. This way, a member who is going to a board at Walter Reed for example would be able to see average times over whatever period of time (last quarter, year, two year period). Any one know of an easy way to do this or of any mods?

Thanks in advance.

Forgive my lack of knowledge in this area

I had a few ideas, but need to know if anyone can point me in the right direction.

One way I thought this would be possible would be to have user enter in USER CP (in its own standalone mod or as part of profile perhaps) in a number of drop down menus or radio buttons selections that would indicate place, event, and time. Then have this in a database and have a call to the database with a query of all users who have input. Then have this show either in its own page or in a CMPS module.

OR

Have a separate page where users enter all the info and can execute a query from.

This seems like it should be possible. I just need to know if this is a huge undertaking, if it is something that vbulletin can handle within its own structure/environment or needs to be a standalone external program and what would be a fair price to pay someone to code.

This is a worthy cause, and the mod would probably have a lot of interest (I can think of many other uses, tracking orders on a commercial site, tracking time to resolve tickets for customer service, sporting, weather, financial applications among others). Anyone have any thoughts?
