Yes, I'm still here. I'm currently working on the Alberta Education subsystem/customization for use with Alberta Schools. I've been writing cron scripts currently to run in the background on the server and sync cache values from the provincial server. I'm also working on other features including the IEP Special education system and more centralized scripting to track attendance and other issues in multiple schools (ie. 22 schools on one server here). Once complete, this will likely come out as a version 8 for Fall usage. I'm done other work with Univ of Chicago and others for now, AFAIK. -- Les

A small update to the discipline system. The infraction type scripts (add, delete) have been updated along with the discipline page itself. The download is in the updates area for 7.00. Any problems, let me know. -- Les R.

I've just finished writing a new staff reset function (needed to quickly fix some errors in the additional fields required for nominal roll reporting to Canadian federal government). I have also rewritten the student reset script to allow it to work on withdrawn student records also. The other reset functions (grade, homeroom) have also been tweaked. The Start/End of Year page is now updated to support these new/updated scripts. The demonstration site is updated with all of these.

The central site is now updated (on several division wide sites) with new nominal roll scripting to detect distinct code values and duplicate IRS (Indian Registry) values. These will go into the distribution for the 7.5 release.

I've added my staff account back into OA (on demo admin site) so that acess for the teacher demo site (les / abc123 ) should now work fine. Rob from Honduras was complaining that this wasn't working. In order to log in to the teacher site there must be a staff member with that userid/password. You manage that via the EOY Page (Start/End of Year tab). Click on 'Add' under staff management (or Edit/Delete to change existing teachers).

I've also reset some of the courses to this account (using the Reset button under Course Management on the report card page (tab)). I've removed some staff members (teachers) and reset the rest of the courses to existing teacher accounts. Any other demo site issues, please let me know. (openadmin AT gmail.com)

Of course development is continuing with AANDC nominal roll scripting, LLI / DRA / First Steps in Math (FSIM) work. This will be released along with the next OA version.

I haven't been totally sessile during the Christmas Holidays here. There is a new tracking (school admin and central site) for teacher and admin attendance entry. Also doing a new system to lockout parents who haven't paid from certain features on the parent site. I'll put all of this new stuff into a new release and call it 7.50. I'll try to get that done in the next couple of weeks so should have something for release later in January. Cheers, Les.
