Online Grades and Attendance

I 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 added and many bugs fixed. Here is a list of the things that are currently in the CVS version of Online Grades:

* User Expiration Date can now be changed from the web interface and a default can be set in the config file.
* "View Notes" link for students no longer shows if a note doesn't exist
* If a personal note is available, A note is displayed under the grade book image
* You can now disable staff viewing students' passwords
* A RSS News Feed is displayed in the Admin Interface (Configurable)
* You now can force login via SSL via a config option
* Email Text is now easily configurable
* Started moving code functions to central file for easier maintainability
* Moved Login Check Into A Function
* Temporary Skin Switcher allows admins to preview how skins look
* Student Center Is Now Valid XHTML
* Fixed Logout bug -- the session is now correctly destroyed on logout.
* Update Check Only Check On the Main Admin Page
* Fixed Page Expiration Errors in Internet Explorer
* Fixed IIS 5 PHP Bug
* Added checks to the admin interface to prevent adding multiple accounts with the same id (Student, Faculty, Admin).
* Password Resets fully implemented (database update required to use)

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. We have made a minor change to the demo; you will now be able to change information. See the demo page for more information.

We have a few more changes to code before this version is complete; 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.

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!
