Online Grades and Attendance

We know it's been a while since we have posted any news but we've been busy. We have been working hard over the last couple of weeks getting new features and developing new relationships with different grade book vendors. Here is a list of the things that are currently in the CVS version of Online Grades:

* Parent Center Now Available
* Added IP Restriction to Student Mailer; helps prevent abuse
* Updated Magpie RSS Reader
* New CSS Based Menus & Layouts
* Added mailto hyperlinks for email addresses
* Added More School Based Options
* Split Offline Feature (Now you can turn off sections of OG)

We are happy to announce that PPGP now has support for Online Grades; you will need version of 4.5 or later to have support for Online Grades. For more information you can visit http://www.pggp.com/onlinegrade.htm or http://www.onlinegrades.org/gb_soft. PPGP is also offering Online Grades hosting for their customers, once again for more information please visit their website.

While we don't recommend running any CVS version in a production environment, we do encourage everyone to check it out. The Online Demo is always updated with the current CVS version and that is an easy way to take a look at the new features. The parent center is now available in the demo. See the demo page for more information.

If you are interested in helping out please contact us. Even if you don't know anything about PHP you still can help. We have documentation that needs updated before we release this next version; if you would like to help email me at beauhuber [at] users [dot] sourceforge [dot] net. The Online Grades development team will be continuing to work on this version for a while longer before we plan on making a release.

In addition feel free to post feature requests or bug reports to the online ticket trackers or comment on the ones that are already posted online. See https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=127473.

Thanks!
