th1aI got an interesting query from Nigeria yesterday.16:34
th1aA school looking to migrate from an existing SIS, so we may need to add a few imports so they can bring more data over.16:34
th1aBut definitely interesting insofar as his list of issues is pretty much exactly our upcoming TODO.16:35
th1aGood to know we at least have the priorities right.16:35
th1aWell, he's lobbying for more LDAP support too, so maybe we'll bump that up a bit.16:35
th1aOK, replaceafill?16:36

replaceafillyvl, i know exactly how you feel!16:53
th1aCan you send me some screenshots of that stuff too so I can check the text.16:53

yvlif you could come up with something decent16:54
* yvl would be grateful!16:54

menesisand I took a fix to not output None for ID column17:03
menesisfrom replaceafill's virginia/celery branch17:03
replaceafillmenesis, i was like "wow menesis found the same bug" :)))17:03
menesisbut I did not take renaming to 'Per Student Skills'17:04
menesisI think the Section Summary was left in the stests17:04
menesisth1a: what does work?17:05
th1anon-xls files?17:05
replaceafilli think th1a means if the importer works xlsx files17:06
replaceafillwith*17:06
menesisif you try import a non-xls file, you get a page saying 'SchoolTool cannot read this file. Is it a .xls formatted spreadsheet?'17:06
menesisinstead of an exception17:06
menesisI will try a newer xlrd, and if nothing breaks, upload it to the PPAs17:07
menesisto add support for .xlsx17:07
menesisbut it is too late for raring17:08
th1aOK, that's fine.17:08
th1aI just wasn't sure what you meant by your first comment.17:09
menesiswould be good to add a note about the format to the book17:10
menesishttp://book.schooltool.org/spreadsheet.html17:10
th1aOK.  That whole page probably needs some love.17:10
menesisthen17:11

menesistwice17:11
menesisand yesterday did some maintenance of the ppa's17:12

menesisupdated 2.1 branch to see if it's ok (it is)17:15
menesisdid run tests with the newer z3c.form that raring has17:16
menesislooks like nothing is broken and I don't remember what was17:16
th1ayvl:  Reports seem fine.  I guess our style guide is working!17:16
menesisfixed tests in z3c.form itself17:17
menesisand that's all17:17
yvlyep17:17
yvlin retrospect, we should have gotten style guides long ago - they're quite handy17:18

th1aOK, thanks menesis.17:19
menesiswill return to celery branches tomorrow17:20

*** Ricza has joined #schooltool17:58
RiczaHi all. Does anyone perhaps know what could cause the scheduling of a section to skip the "First scheduled day" and start the day after?18:01
RiczaI see a question was asked sometime ago: https://answers.launchpad.net/schooltool/+question/186181. It is marked as resolved though in 2.0.2, I am running 2.3.1 and still experience this18:01
th1ahi Ricza.18:02
RiczaHi18:02
th1aDid you set the timezone or leave it at GMT?18:02
RiczaI set the timezone to by local timezone on first setup. After reading the recommended fix I have tried GMT as well as UTC, with little change.18:03
th1aHrm.  OK.18:04
th1aHow far along are you at this point?  Just experimenting, actually have things set up for a real school, in production?18:04
RiczaWe are in the process of setting up for a new school, but not too far along as yet18:05
th1aWhat's your local timezone?18:07
th1aLooking at 2.0.2 release notes...18:07
RiczaAfrica/Joburg - UTC +218:08
th1aOK, I'll convert the original question to a bug and update it.18:10
th1aJust a sec...18:11
RiczaOk, any workaround that you can advise?18:11
th1aHm...18:13
th1aYou set up the term, and the timetable, and scheduled the section.18:14
th1aCorrect?18:14
RiczaYes18:14
th1aAnd according to the timetable and schedule, the section should meet the first day of the term?18:15
th1a(sorry I have to ask the obvious)18:15
RiczaThe section scheduling meets the First scheduled day and the last scheduled day, which is a subset of the term date ranges.18:16
th1aOK, you can subscribe to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/schooltool/+bug/117231518:19
th1aAnd I'll have our timetable expert take a look at it.18:19
RiczaAwesome, Ill look into it18:19
RiczaI am also seeing a problem when one creates a schedule for a section. This then generates a calendar for that schedule and allocates the section to the calendar. However when viewing the School schedule one does not see all sections scheduled on this school wide view".18:27
