Schooltool 2.0 problems with calendar

Asked by Bill

Hello,

I have looked through the Schooltool book and searched the questions section of Launchpad and don't seem to find anything relating to this specific issue:

Have set up a new school year and term. Am now trying to set up a timetable. The timetable that needs to be set up is based on an 8 day cycle with different times each day set on days of the week.

The days are set up named day 1 . . . etc. The times for classes are set up in 24 hr format as required and are complete for the days of the week.

When the wizard is finished, the first five days of the cycle are populated with times, but the last 3 days are left empty. Have gone through the set up wizard a number of times with the same results. There don't seem to be any logical alternatives to the way I have set it up. Am I overlooking something?

My system is:

Schooltool 2.0
Ubuntu 11.10 (yes I know its old. . .)
virtualized in virtualbox 4.0

Our school changed over from a 2 week cycle which worked fine.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you,

Bill

Did you use Days of the Week or Rotating Cycle? It sounds like you've got a rotating cycle.

Hi Tom,

Thank you for the response. You are correct, it is a rotating cycle of 8 days and that is how it is set up. Some days of the week just happen to have alterations on passing times.

Regards,

Bill

OK, yes, that's definitely a bug. It used to work but must have been broken in a recent update to timetables.

I converted this to a bug, and we'll push a fix in the next week or two.

Thank you for the help Tom,

That sounds like it would be the issue.

Should I change it to "solved" or wait until the fix is finalized?

We should probably close the question or else launchpad will just do it automatically anyhow. I don't know if you're automatically subscribed to the bug. It is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214131

Can you help with this problem?
