I know that pain Wonde have literally just ghosted me and won't reply to my emails.

I am and I’m the only person they have contact information for. Oh way ahead of you. I really wish it was as simple as them being in my spam folder.

Would except that however all of there own documentation claims you get it in week 3 of the onboarding process.

Just to chime in, I'm currently migrating a school from SIMS to Arbor and the date I have to upload the SIMS database is Friday... Only problem is they haven't sent me the emails with the secure portal information that I was supposed to get last week and my support email has gone unanswered. Brilliant just one more headache to end the term on

That's the guide I'm using and it refuses to work. FortiGate but it isn't that as I attached the Chromebook to my mobile hotspot and it still does the same thing. As a test I tried to use Okta as my IDP and it works fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does anyone know how to set up Wonde so it takes over Chromebook logins? I've fiddled with it for days and done everything listed in the help/guide on the Wonde site and can't get it to work. I get nothing but a spinning wheel of doom at the login screen. I've contacted Wonde support but I've got nothing but radio silence and they don't seem to be interested in supporting their own products anymore and just push you off to a "partner", it would help of course if they had a list of partners on the site but I guess I'll just get my crystal ball out. Not that it matters as I refuse to pay a third party to configure three settings in my Google admin setting page that Wonde could easily tell me. I have a feeling the guide Wonde provided (it's sort of hidden now) is out of date and settings have changed since it was written.

It is Capita you are dealing with, by far one of the worst companies I have ever had dealings with.

From what I know you need to sign something they send you to complete your cancellation. The generic email address to send your cancellation notification letters to is [email protected].

All of this and: The site will grind to a halt doing simple things like scanning book barcodes... the horror! I don't know what kind of database it runs in the background but it clearly isn't up to the task. Recently we couldn't get in to the librarian/admin interface unless you knew a workaround. Capita knew of the problem and how to get around it but didn't bother in inform anyone, you had to dig around the "My Capita Portal" forum so some other poor Reading Cloud user to share this top secret information. It's old clunky and no ware near worth what they charge per year for it. I'm ashamed that I paid for it as long as I did, and still am due to the "unbendable terms and conditions". If you contact support about any speed issues you will get this response that it's your internet connection, the browser you're using or even the OS you're using. All complete rubbish of course but they won't have any of it, they also farsically claim that "only a small percentage" of schools have speed issues however all the schools I know that did use it or still do all hate it with a vengeance. One of them even went back to using paper records and stamps. Oh and it's now owned by Captia and Captia are the worst.

Having exactly the same problem, magically my renewal date move forward a month from last year. I can't be arsed fighting them on it though, I spend more on printer toner a month than what I pay for a years worth of Reading Cloud. They did tell me that only a "select few schools" are having performance issues though... hahahaha

Cool will email today.

Yes and it's still garbage... Hay Libresoft can you transfer Reading Cloud databases?

The trailing \ at the very end of the command was causing the prompt it shouldn't have been there, also the "OriginalHomeDirectory" active directory attribute isn't used anymore depending on what Windows Server version you use... my bad sorry about that! Here is the code that should work for you: dscl /Active\ Directory/DOMAIN/All\ Domains -read /Users/$CURRENTUSER SMBHome | awk '{ print $2 }' | tr '\' '/' "tr" at the end is the command that will do the character swapping. Good Luck

It's all down to the garbage fest drivers Apple provides. You try using alternative ones, specifically for the intel chipset.

Why on Earth couldn't they sodding say that on the website?! Jesus how incredibly tedious... how about they just give me the software and I will install it, I'm a big boy. They're out of luck now anyway, I revoked acces to T2P because I didn't know what it was for and now it's completely missing from "My Apps". T2P are just as much the blame as Wonde with the severe lack of information given about this service. Just whats so wrong with a CTF import anyway?

Just what is all this Wonde garbage about? I get vague emails about Teachers2Parents and Wonde. I created a Wonde account as requested for which I can't change the email address for (brilliant!) and now what? No sodding instructions for anything, to hazard a guess I need to install something on the SIMS server not that it's giving me any sort of links for downloads. Ugh when will education garbage just stop... any why on Earth do we need multiple bits of junk software like Groupcall Xporter (so edgy) and now Wonde sucking up all the SIMS data and plastering it god only where with GPDR lurking?!?!?

No problem, hope it helps and helps other people in the future Yeah should work fine, or as an alternative try. Same thing just a different Active Directory Attribute. dscl /Active\ Directory/All\ Domains -read /Users/$CURRENTUSER OriginalHomeDirectory | awk '{ print $2 }' | sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g'\

Ok hold on tight I got a little bored at work so wrote the entire script and all the other bits that you need. I have included a install script that will copy the script in to /Library/Application Support/login/ and fixes the permissions and sets up the launch agent in the user template folder (so new users get modified) and loop through all current users present on the mac. Some simple steps below should get you up and running... Go download all three files from here: https://github.com/Ovek99/macOS-Login-Alias-Script, use the "clone/download button" to get a zip. Extract that zip in to a folder on your macs local admin desktop and you should have com.user.loginscript.plist, installscript.sh and login.sh. Next open the installscript.sh file and add your local admin user to the SKIPUSER variable. If you don't want the script to open a network connection on load or delete various folders (like the Desktop) open login.sh and comment out (#) the bits that you don't need and save it. Open up terminal and run the script (e.g. sudo bash ~/Desktop/script/installscript.sh). This is fully working on 10.13.4 for me but as with all random scripts this needs testing & more testing before deployment, I'm sure you will need to modify parts to better suite your environment anyway. EDIT: I should note that the login.sh script could be capable so doing more than aliasing user folders and you could use it to se default settings for applications etc but thats beyond the scope of today.

Try and add the following to your script to auto mount your network drive. open "smb://server/share"

I don't have access to my mac at the moment so I will come back to you. As for why Apple frowns upon redirecting user folders, who knows they also don't like you modifying the default user template but you have no other alternative in a multi-user environment even if you have a MDM in place. If you run a full mac environment like me you quickly learn not to script macOS to much. Don't get me wrong macOS is a great flexible/scriptable OS that it doesn't get enough credit for. But Apple can be unpredictable with the OS updates and you might find things that might have worked for years not working in the new OS or even point releases, either with bugs or just undocumented changes.

Check out Jamf PRO Cloud as well.

You shouldn’t need to run your script as a sudo admin user as the currently logged in user already has the permissions to remove there own Documents directory etc and put a symlink in its place. But that depends on how exactly you are running the script to begin with. Don’t know what system folders you are talking about but you shouldn’t have issues with the folders you have listed. Should note that replacing anything in the users folder with symbolic links to a mounted network drive is considered bad practice and Apple strongly recommend against doing it.

I remember when I first started they gave me a box of 5.25" floppy disks, I politely handed them back.

Isn't Flash embedded in to Sherston apps, like really old versions of Flash? I still run some of it but it's coming of a Windows Server to remote desktop clients, I know I'm amazed they work as well. To be honest the software is ancient you could spend hours trying to get it to work and failing your option of getting the school to try and update is the best one.

Lord this software is shockingly slow and I mean 10 mins to check a book back in to the system. Awful, it won't be renewed next year I can tell you that much.
