Hi Fiza, Did you get a workaround or answer for this? We too block YouTube but would like to use the video share in Google Classroom. Thanks, Tom

Hi Stuajnht, I'm looking into LTSP and I would appreciate a few pointers. I'm not hugely savvy when it comes to crossing over between the two OS. I found LTSP and thought "bingo". Am I right in thinking that: 1. Any PC with PXE will boot the image without touching the windows C:\ 2. Users get their credentials for the LTSP server from AD on the windows domain 3. Files are all kept separate, windows on windows - linux on linux. This could be a great way to give our students a linux lab but at no extra hardware cost. Thanks, Tom

Thanks Stuajnht, that would all be really helpful but we have gone a different direction now. We have built a solution that similarly exports from SIMS but uses a js search feature which we target against 2 XMLs (staff and students) to allow anyone to lookup anybody's timetable. We have also added functions, one to email all of a students teaching staff (to cut down on all staff emails) and another to print an individual timetable. We are now in the process of documenting how it works and commenting up all the code. Then we will package it up and put it on edugeek. It doesn't rely on HAP so any school could use it on an internal or external web server. We have built it into HAP for tidiness and security (AD login). Here's a screen shot: Thanks again for your reply, Tom

I have solved this one by using the following Termdates.xml:

weekends in the term it then doesn't look to the future to end them. However week numbers still only show Monday to Thursday. Tom

Hi Nick, We are retiring our current timetable program and I have turned to HAP to replace it after it has proved so much excellence with remote files and even remote access. I have installed the booking system and timetable add ons and I feel I am close. I had an issue where moment.min.js was missing from the scripts folder, easily resolved. I now have an issue that the sims timetable export.xml is showing varying day names. For example some are: 1Mon:1, 2Tue:2 etc. but others are Day1:1, Day2:2 etc. The results displayed in a timetable are then confusing: Example student week 2: Which is this users Timetables.XML set: < You can see in the code "2Mon:5" works but "2Mon:6" hasn't worked. Where do I need to look to sort this? I am best going back to the pre-converted Timetableexport.xml and making amends there? Other questions: Can I limit the timetable to only show school hours (08:45 - 15:35) rather than the full day(00:00-00:00)? Is there a reason the week number identifier only cover Monday - Thursday? (see images below) Why does the terms show currently as term 1, 2, 3 & 4? (see my termdates.xml below) In the record, what is "year" used for? Some seem to be populated with unrecognisable figures like "3" whereas others are blank.

It currently shows a title bar only at logon and logoff which is ok. Totally invisible would be better but this is fine. Thanks, Tom

Hi Nick, That was me you posted it too and thats the version I have rolled out. It works to use the logoff script as Fairm suggested, so I just don't use the silent switch at logoff. So it is silent at logon, which minimizes the box to the bottom left and pops up in the case of multiple logon accounts. Then at logoff it runs without the silent switch, which still minimizes it in the bottom left. Is this the expected behaviour? Thanks, Tom

Hi Nick (and co) I have tried on and off to get the logon tracker working. In testing it is excellent I am forced to use the logon and logoff scripts. This is my current logoff.cmd code: start /min "Logon Tracker" "c:\windows\syswow64\hap logon tracker.exe" https://server/hap/ , /silent exit If I run the cmd manually the logoff is marked in the tracker no problem. If it is run during the logoff scripts process it is like windows closes the exe before it has finished its work. To remedy this I have tried installing the exe as a service which runs even if windows it shutting down, however similarly to running the exe it doesnt always have the desired effect at logoff. This seems like a silly problem, something easily remedied, but I am starting to think it might have me beat. Is there something i'm missing or possibly a way i can run what the exe does via a script as opposed to using the exe? In testing it is such a good piece of software and I really would like to make use of it. Limiting the logons will be handy and being able to find out who logged in when will rule out some of the petty vandalism issues and such like. Thanks, Tom

Thanks Nick, With the new version of the file i got the silent command working like so: "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\HAP Logon Tracker.exe" Logon https://etc/HAP/ , /silent It pops up with the window title but no information. Hopefully I can roll this out to an ICT room now and see how it goes. Thank you again, Tom

Sorry Nick, no joy. These all come up with a URI error: HAP Logon Tracker.exe /logon /silent https://etc/ HAP Logon Tracker.exe /logon /silent, https://etc/ HAP Logon Tracker.exe /silent /logon https://etc/ HAP Logon Tracker.exe /silent, /logon https://etc/ And with /silent on the end it continues to pop up with the logon tracker icon with "Registering..." I have also noticed that each logon leaves an instance of hap logon tracker notifier.exe running. Thanks for your support. Tom

Morning Folks, I'm loving HAP+ and the tracker however, I would like to make the logon and logoff tracker run silently. I have tried adding "-silent" to the end of the parameters but the window still pops up. The way this thread starts "If the -silent switch is NOT used for group policy.." would imply that there is a silent switch. If so, could I get a copy of the parameters so I know I'm typing it correct. If there isn't currently a silent switch is there another way I can make it silent or window-less? Thanks, Tom

Hi JonZaman, Im having trouble getting setup too with the same error. "There is something wrong connecting to your AD infrastructure..." I have tried to enter all variety of LDAP, with FQDN, different domain admin users etc. Security is correct on app_data. What else do I need to be looking for? Thanks for any assistance, Tom

Has anyone got their youtube education filter working with Council based netsweeper? Thanks. Tom

Hello. Has there been any joy on this thread? Tom.

Hi Pubgrub, Firstly thank you for the zip. I haven't got it spot on yet because we have a 2 week rotation system in place and I would like to be able to do both in one go. Do you have the report or annotated workbook yet? Thanks, Tom.
