Adding to left hand side of start page

Submitted by terisavagec on Fri, 09/05/2008 - 8:37am

Hello: I am trying to add links (such as for your attendance today (which is great!) to the main start page, left hand side, under "functions"

I have admin/home but for the life of me cannot find that section

for now I have added the link to admin/student/more2. Any idea where this is? Thank you for all your help.

The file you are looking for is a Wildcard, there is a example included in the download under the Wildcard folder.

Once you copy the file or edit your own you will need to initialize the new Wildcard. You can do this by clicking System->System Settings->Customization then Submit.

Add Bell Schedule?

Submitted by Coonce-Ewing on Tue, 08/12/2008 - 10:01pm

Would it be possible to add the bell schedule instead of Day type? I have looked through the official PS list of Object Report codes and another unofficial list and I can't find a code for Bell Schedules. I have just one day, with many periods and I use the Bell Schedules to manage this. Placing the bell schedule in the header would be very useful at my school.

I don't know of a way to do that as of right now short of using a tlist. The code listed to show the day in the rotation was only found because PS uses it in another page and I happened upon it. If I can find something I'll post it.
