Hi
I have been testing Schooltool Calendar 0.11.4 (from Edubuntu) in order to use it in our school, and also with the intention to provide some grounds for our testing Schooltool 2006 when available, but have run into a curious problem. I am not aware of any other school testing Schooltool in Panama City, Panama, C. America. If any one knows of one please let me know. Perhaps we could share experiences.
1. Our schedule starts at 7:00 a.m., class hours lasts 45 minutes, and there are 8 regular class periods a day. Other two optional periods follow. There is a 15 minutes break at 9:15 a.m. and another one at 11:45 a.m. A 30 minutes break at 13:30 prec edes the two optional periods that start at 14:00 p.m.
2   I have used both, the advanced and the regular wizards, to define our time table, with similar results.
3.  One problem I should mention is  that I could only defined the full timetable when using the advanced wizard. . When using the regular wizard, I could not defined more than 8 periods and, in this case, the last period (12:45 to 13:30), do not show up in the calendar.
4.  The other problem I find (with either way of defining our school time table) is that when a student or a teacher log s in, even though our defined time table (the one with 45 minutes interval) is well displayed in the user calendar, the user events are actually positioned as if they were overlaying the standart SchoolTool timetable (the one displayed by default when the application starts -the one that begins at 8 am and goes on in 1 full hour intervals-). This makes the user calendar look either complicated or with errors, not only because of the misplaced events but also because we have a number of events that start at 7 am and the standard SchoolTool timetable starts at 8 am.
Please advise if I missed a step or might have done something wrong that would cause this behavior.
Advanced thanks
Frank
