Storing different project work titles for each student

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your interest in SchoolTool!

You could have a Field Work (or whatever) course and each student could
have a separate section of that course. I don't think it would really be
problematic, or particularly difficult to deal with, and would handle all
your meta-data.

Don't hesitate to let us know if you have other questions or concerns.

Hi Tom, Thank you so much for your super-fast answer. I missed the part about sections in the documentation. Once I get my environment up and running, I will try your suggestion. Thanks again!

Thank youTom, I want to ask about Opensis i am trying to customize opensis and They want the Opensis logo removed is that possible ? any ideas Have tried to search for logo.png files and change them but still the logo won't change ..?

OpenSIS is a different project.

could I now integrate the Schooltool with Drupal because I would love to use the Drupal side of views and panels to make the portal of my school both look like a portal aswell as a website in one. What do you think. I am a great fan of this project. I would want to implement it here in Nigeria. I would be giving my feedback and progress as I go along. Thank you very much Tom Hoffman. And would there be a neat way of change how the timetable is layout considering that in your schools the time table is slighly different and I would want to create it in schooltool and export it to be printed out using PDF.

Emanuel,

We actually have a pilot starting in Nigeria right now in Ondo province. Send me an email at <email address hidden> and I'll connect you to the folks working on that project.
