[sims] Sims data extraction to website

[Theldron]

Hey guys,

 

I want to extract achievement points and student timetables from SIMS into our Wordpress intranet site. Has anyone managed to do this?

 

If so how any step by step instructions?

 

Cheers

 

Sean

Capita don't like you doing things like that plus also you need a licence if I'm correct also if they found out they would most prob not help you if things went pear shaped so just be careful

But if I'm just reading the data from our database isn't that ok?

Nope - Wrote a bit about why over here -> http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/140220-microsoft-sql-best-practices-101-a.html#post1218290

 

Write a SIMS .net report, use the command line tool to schedule it, write a script to upload it - bing bang boom, you've done it.

 

PS: Not sure Wordpress is ideal for this sort of thing. Something like Moodle would be better. LOADS of products out their will give you want you want.
