Thanks for the help!

Sorry, server information incorrect-- this is on Ubuntu 10.04.

Am getting similar error on SchoolTool 1.6 on 11.04 when working with timetables as well.

[Justas Sadzevičius (justas.sadzevicius)]

Thanks for an excellent bug report!

It seems that there was a problem when school timetables were set up. Do you happen to remember how this was done? Spreadsheet import, wizard (School Timetables -> New Timetable -> [Next]), simple or advanced setup?

If you go to "School Timetables", can you look at all timetables (follow links)?

Thanks!

[Bill (billclark)]

Thank you for the quick response!

Problem is there are a couple of different installs I'm testing and they are starting to get confused. Have used the wizard and the advanced setup with similar results-- no spreadsheet import was used.

School Timetables>default (there are no other timetables) yields this error:

Looks like this could be end-user head-space. :-) Think you're right about the timetable being set up incorrectly.

The schedule is a 10-day rotation between 2 weeks. The names of the days are a-j. When the timetable schema is set up for attendance periods, the last 3 days show with no check boxes. Thus keyerror u'h'-- h is the name of the 3rd to last day in the rotation.

The system is apparently not accepting the last 3 days as valid, guess a rotation is limited to 7 days. If so, how does one get 2 separate week timetables to set up automatically?

[Bill (billclark)]

Got it! When setting up the timetable, I originally selected times by 'days of the week' when it should have been by 'days of the rotation'. That is why it was limited to 7 days. After setting it up by 'days of the rotation' the schedule sets up correctly!

If that is the case, maybe it would be helpful if the ui automatically selects the correct setting? Don't know, maybe some people need to set up by days of the week with an irregular rotation number.

Anyway, thank you for helping talk me through this, Justas! Sorry for the stupid on my end.

[Tom Hoffman (tom-hoffman)]

Yes, some people want days of the week with a different rotation. Here in Providence, for example.
