[school-discuss] Open Admin for Schools 1.95 released




Hi All,

A new version of Open Admin for Schools is now available, version 1.95

This version begins the use of templates to allow the student tables to be
extended to allow schools to add additional fields to student
demographics.

The templating is used by student enrollment, editing, search, view, and
full student roster. Read more in the updated admin manual.

The updated scripts also make use of a meta table to control form entry,
and other aspects of editing including setting required fields, input
field lengths, defaults, form entry types, etc. Again explained in the
admin manual. These are 'hidden' scripts found in the cgi/meta directory.

The gradebook application now uses session management via the perl module
CGI::Session. This improves security and simplifies session management.
There are also some new reports in the gradebook and other fixes in
general.
