Hi Frank,

I'll be happy to try to sort this out with you, but first we might as
well move you over to the SchoolTool 2006 development version, because
any bugs we find will be fixed in that code.  I've posted some
instructions for setting this up on Dapper that hopefully are pretty
straightforward:

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi

I have been testing Schooltool Calendar 0.11.4 (from Edubuntu 6.06 drapper
beta) and also Schooltool Calendar 0.11.2 (from Edubuntu 5.10 breeze) in
order to use it in our school, but also with the intention to provide some
grounds for our testing Schooltool 2006 when available, but have run into
two problems as follows (with both versions mentioned above). 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 school's schedule differs from SchoolTool's default. It starts at
7:00 a.m., class hours last 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
precedes 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
school's time table, with similar results.

3. One problem I should mention, although it has a way around it, is that I
could only defined our full timetable (all ten periods) when using the
advanced wizard. When using the regular wizard, I could not get beyond 8
periods and the last period (12:45 to 13:30) do not show up in the user
calendars.

4.  The other problem I find (with either way of defining our school time
table as mentioned in 2 above ) is that when a student or a teacher logs in,
even though our defined time table (the one with 45 minutes interval) is
displayed in the user calendar, the user events are actually positioned as
if they were overlaying the standart SchoolTool timetable (the one that
begins at 8 am and goes on in 1 full hour intervals-). The resulting user
calendar looks either complicated or with errors, not only because of the
apparently 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.

5.  The system does not appear to use the default time table to build the
default calendar that is displayed when accesing the SchoolTool system. The
system appears to use its own default timetable to build such calendar
(starting at 8 am; one hour intervals). This is not actually a "problem" but
I thought I should mention it anyway because it somehow be related to 4
above.

I am new to SchoolTool and will appreciate any advise regarding a missed
step or a wrong step on my part that might cause this behavior.

Advanced thanks

Frank
