Supporting this module

Hi. Thank you very much for your interest.
I am planning to extend the module to work with CCK and views. I don't know yet it is a good idea or not, and I am not very sure that how I will do it. I am still reading on it. I will be a huge module, so it needs to be planned very nice. May be you can help by giving some idea on this point.
What about coding? Are you coding in php or css? Do you have any plan to help coding? or at least debugging?

what about Drupal 6
will u provide a version for it
we wish that

I'm sorry, I will not provide Drupal 6 version. I have been spending my time for other inner modules. And also D7CX movement shows that Drupal 7 is coming so powerful and will be supported by most used modules in short time...

I am very interested in this module.
I have a question is that is there a function that student can select a class or select a teacher?

And I want to translate it into Japanese. If that is ok for you.

Thank you for your interest.
Classes and lessons module will be more detailed. There is no functionality to select class or lesson for student for now, but I have plan to do it.. I am spending my time for other project now, I will turn back to this modules soon.
Of course translation is ok for me and for other module users especially from Japan. Note that translation should start at least after beta version is released.

Hi this is a great module.

I have installed it and can see there is still allot of bugs.

I will be interested to translate this module to Afrkaans, Zulu, Xhosa and then the rest of South Africa's 11 Official languages.

The schools that will be using it is mostly rural based schools. Our government has made an afford to equip all of these schools with computers but there is no free school administration system.

I have been looking at the phpedu.module and its online coarse building system, but like you said there will be later implementation of the quiz and groups modules.

I am happy to start opening issues.
I am not a pro coder but knows my way around drupal.

I also have 2 schools willing to try this system out, and give feature requests.

Thanks

Hi,

I will be appreciated if it helps the schools in Africa. Of course I am open for new issues and feature requests. But lets start them after getting at least beta release of Drupal 7.

Thank you..

Hi. I am interested in that module as well.
Can help with php coding and testing. Feel free to contact me when return to this module :)

Thank you cross. I started to spend my spare time for this module. Any help is welcome, especially for coding and testing :)

To VlooiVlerke: If this does not work for you, you can also try the open source solution at www.moodle.org, it is not Drupal based, but it is also free.

Thanks But moodle is a LMS

This module is a school management system, It has the potential to smooth the administration of a school. It has a huge potential to plug in other stuff too. As the administration of rural schools in South Africa is very bad, leading to kids not getting a good education. Getting kids registered and into the right class with the right resources, and then have the capability to track there progress, will enable for better education.

Drupal has other LMS modules that can plug into this module to make it a learning solution too.

Thanks, www.moodle.org looks cool, but Drupal is for me.

Beta1 is released for school administration. Please check it.

This is noble and great work.........kudos to you and anyone else helping out on this module. I will try it once drupal 7 is out......

An idea before i leave(assuming its not implemented already), it would would be nice to track school and class attendance/roll call and that can be tagged to the students or teachers record.

Once again, thank you...........

Thank you very much for your support.

I just added attendance module, which I have been using in my school. I don't know if it fits to your needs.

The module implementations should be improved much. I think they will improve in time with the help of Drupal community and while I am climbing up to the top of my Drupal learning curve :)

very good module!, excellent starting point, well structured, congratulations.

I found an error appears

in file: "school_administration.module"

in: line 1553: foreach (explode(' ', $result->name) as $name) {

should be : foreach (explode(' ', $result->names) as $name) {

lacked the "S" in "name"

details of usability:

in forms I think it would be practical to use Drupal Fields Taxonomy united, so each site administrators can add their own terms in common use.

example:

school_administration/register_new -> Field "Place of Birth" -> (Field_of_Drupal_Text->taxonomy-> (City-> list tags: (list of cities))
school_administration/register_new -> Field "Nationality" -> (Field_of_Drupal_Text->taxonomy-> (Country-> list tags: (list of countries))

This makes every administrator enter the cities and countries of interest.

On the forms does not seem to provide for the translation of "gender " and the selection list at: "Student reside with"

In /school_administration/browse, I do not understand the option "Alumni"

In room_booking/book/xxx the dates are in English ... You could use the Drupal sitema dates.

good job!.

pd: excuse my bad English. I speak Spanish.

Oscar.

Thank you for praise.

I fixed the "date" and "s" error.
About fields with taxonomy suggestion, I really like it, I don't know why I did not think it before.

Thank you for your try, bug fix and nice suggestions. I started to work on it.

I hope the module will be useful for you.

I forgot to mention about Alumni

It is for browsing Alumni records. When a student is withdrew with the reason "Graduation", he/she will be recorded to alumni database. By the way, I just realize that current working code with reason "Graduation" is not translation compatible. I will try to fix it.

When will the student_marks complete? I'm looking forward to it! :x

mmm... 2 months later, most probably.
