PowerSchool 6.2 Apr 30, 2010 It sounds like the problem Jul 31, 2010 10:07 am dmceachern

It sounds like the problem where Tomcat is not being upgraded that affects 6.1 and 6.2.x upgrades. There is information here:

How To Add Info to the Header Nov 12, 2007 re: Student Selection/More2 page overlap Jul 31, 2010 10:07 am jtreadwell

Are you using sharepoints for your customization or are you trying to copy the same customization onto each server separately? Sharepoints make it a bit easier as you only do the customization 1x for all servers, but if that server loses track of the sharepoint for some reason your customizations may look messed up as it reverts to the custom/web_root on that box.

Enhanced Parent Portal V 2.04 May 25, 2010 Re: Demographic Information Jul 30, 2010 02:07 pm brian_andle

You can do this by changing the fields names on the parent side to the real PS fields. That said we are strongly against this. With the approval process the office can validate the validity of the data being submitted. By allowing parents to directly modify your day to day parents could quickly decide to delete all the info you allow them to enter. You would no longer be able to get to the data without doing a restore, and who know just how long that it will take before you even notice. This could also quickly become a liability if your unable to get a hold of a parent in a emergency because the parents chose to delete their info because you gave them a way too. In the end it's a very bad idea to not use a approval process.
How To Add Info to the Header Nov 12, 2007 Student Selection/More2 page overlap Jul 30, 2010 12:07 pm csnipes

I'm having a problem with page overlap. When I select a student from the student selection page the start page overlaps with the more2.html page. We have "4" PS servers. This is only happening on "1" server. When you select a student while logged into one of the other servers the overlap does not happen. The page opens fine. I did add a few links to the more2 page but that's all. I replaced the more2 page with the original PS page that has no customization and still got the overlap. Now if I disable Customization on this one server I don't get the overlap when I select a student. The page opens fine.

I'm puzzled as to why it's happening on just one server and not all servers. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Enhanced Parent Portal V 2.04 May 25, 2010 Demographic Information Jul 29, 2010 08:07 pm sorianog

How would you disable the approval process for demographic change? I have added other fields to the page which update automatically but the fields on the original demographic change page need to go through the approval process. How do you turn this off as well?

thanks

Custom Fields in Reports Jul 29, 2010 re: Custom Fields in Reports Jul 29, 2010 05:07 pm jtreadwell

Randy,

I hope you find the answer in Report Works as I do believe ultimately that's where your new report should be. If you get an answer that is easily shared feel free to repost here so we all know what we need to do to make custom fields work properly (or what not to do to if that's the case).

Custom Fields in Reports Jul 29, 2010 Yes I did mean section, sorry Jul 29, 2010 04:07 pm randyhenderson

Yes I did mean section, sorry about that. Just been using PS for a week. I wll search for the f.table_info trick. We were hoping to design the repost in ReportWorks and be able to drop in custom fields. I will get the reportworks question asked on Powersource.

Thanks for the input.

Custom Date Jul 28, 2010 re: Custom Date Jul 29, 2010 04:07 pm jtreadwell

Dan,

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for them to finally enable about 4 tables that are clearly there for us to be able to make various custom field types but so far they haven't. They made all those tables at the same time (with the customText and customVarChar) but never enabled them to do anything on the front end. There's also a table that looks like it's to store field type change requests. It's been years now and no sign of them doing anything with it. So... no, you can't.

HOWEVER: You could make a custom search area on your home screen and list only the date fields and then have it do a tlist_sql search on those dates. It'll allow you to convert the text to a proper date and then make that list the active students. Haven't done it, but in theory it should work.

Custom Fields in Reports Jul 29, 2010 re: Custom Fields in Reports Jul 29, 2010 04:07 pm jtreadwell

Randy,

Did you mean "Section" table rather than "Session"?

I'm not sure how successful you'd be pulling information like that in an object report without using the f.table_info trick. That gets to be a pain to code but it does work. Not sure why report works isn't letting you add at least the students ones. Did you post the question on PowerSource? They are generally pretty good about responding to ReportWorks questions.
