MRBS Producing extra Periods

[Rhys]

I have MRBS up and running and have managed to get it to switch over to periods (is there a document anywhere that lists all the config.inc.php commands for it? I have mostly got them from threads here on edugeek) but am having an issue where it is producing two extra time blocks named Period 1 and Period 2 before the ones I enter manually. Any idea why that is? my config.inc.php is below.

 

so it says

 

Period 1

Period 2

Before School

Period 1

Period 2

Recess

Period 3

Period 4

Lunch

Period 5

After School

 

when it should say

 

Before School

Period 1

Period 2

Recess

Period 3

Period 4

Lunch

Period 5

After School

I know that this is an old post, but I was curious to know if you were able to resolve the issue. I am experiencing the same issue.

 

Thanks

Sorry, just found the answer so I am posting it for anyone who encounters this issue. This system will not let me post the link to where I found the answer so I will just post what it said in brief.

 

Enter the line,

 

unset($periods);

 

right before you define your periods and it will clear out the array and use what you have.

 

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

 

I don't actually work in the position anymore as I am off traveling and working in europe, but I would just like to thank you for updating the thread when you found the resolution (I received an email when the thread was updated ).

 

I will pass the solution on to the fellow who replaced me however. If I remember correctly I just utilised a work around by putting before school at the end of the list.

 

Cheers

Rhys

Hi Rhys,

 

Glad to be able to help.

 

I was setting this up for my wife who is a librarian here in the states. I'm a developer and have been thinking about re-working the MRBS code base to make it a bit nicer...when I can find the time.

 

Enjoy your world travels and best of luck to you!

John
