SchoolTool

Change from Daily to Monthly

Asked by James Moore

Hi
I been able to customise the look and feel of Schooltool to fit our school's logo and colors;( www.lauerateschool.org). It would be extremely helpful to have the opening page show the monthly calendar , not the daily calendar.

I have traced the TAL block to \usr\share\pyshare\schootool\calendar\browser\templates\calendar_tertiary_nav.pt

    <tal:block repeat="mode view/modes">
      <li tal:attributes="class mode/class">
        <a tal:attributes="href mode/url"
           tal:content="mode/title">Daily/a>
      </li>
    </tal:block>

How do I get the monthly's <li class="calendar-current">... </li> set as a default.

Is it set in zope?
i am stuck please help

No... I feel bad for making you work so hard! You're not the only one who would like these things to be more flexible.

James:

The file you need to edit is /usr/share/pyshared/schooltool/basicperson/browser/flourish.zcml

In this directive (around line 789) :

  <flourish:viewlet
      name="calendar"
      after="home"
      for="schooltool.basicperson.interfaces.IBasicPerson"
      manager="schooltool.skin.flourish.page.IHeaderNavigationManager"
      class=".person.UserLinkViewlet"
      title="Calendar"
      link="calendar"
      permission="schooltool.view"
      />

you need to modify the link attribute to have /montly.html at the end:

  <flourish:viewlet
      name="calendar"
      after="home"
      for="schooltool.basicperson.interfaces.IBasicPerson"
      manager="schooltool.skin.flourish.page.IHeaderNavigationManager"
      class=".person.UserLinkViewlet"
      title="Calendar"
      link="calendar/monthly.html"
      permission="schooltool.view"
      />

I think that'll get you what you need. Let me know if it works.

I made the change in
/usr/share/pyshared/schooltool/basicperson/browser/flourish.zcml

<flourish:viewlet
      name="calendar"
      after="home"
      for="schooltool.basicperson.interfaces.IBasicPerson"
      manager="schooltool.skin.flourish.page.IHeaderNavigationManager"
      class=".person.UserLinkViewlet"
      title="Calendar"
      link="calendar/monthly.html "
      permission="schooltool.view"
      />

It did not change my default page. I still open to "Daily"

Thanks for trying

Jim

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you to restart your service:

$ sudo service schooltool restart

for SchoolTool to pick up the change.

Nice getting there . I default to monthly after a user logon in. Would it be possible to have the opening page default to monthly, without anyone log in?

You can edit /usr/share/pyshared/schooltool/app/browser/app.py. In line 94, just before the "else", insert a new line like this:

url += '/monthly.html'

This is in the ApplicationView.update method. It should look like this: http://pastebin.com/7h1e5B60

After making the change you'll need to restart the service again.
