Adding modules

I created a module installer... It is raw. But it's a start. I learned some Joomla a few days ago, and They have a module installer that does all the work for you. So here is my Drupal version. Unfortunately I just started using Drupal yesterday so I can't give it all the bells and whistles yet.

This installer makes a few assumptions:
1. GZIP lib is installed on server.
2. All modules will be installed in sites/all/modules

The installer will upload the tar.gz to the directory and automatically unzip it.

I have a "system" that I have built in Drupal 6 for tracking employee time off. I used actions, triggers and php snippets to get this all working. I have a form for creating a time off request, which launches an approval workflow and email notifications, and that ends with (if the time actually taken) a record that records that time, and reports that HR uses for determining vacation and sick balances.

I'm building a website that consist of a main website and three office locations/branches websites. The main website pulls content from all three locations.

Location websites must have a 'home page' with a unique url, as well as the main website ofcourse. Each location must have an allocated admin role that can manage that location content only.
