Ethics questions can now be asked as a required field for each project.
To activate this feature navigate to Configuration >> Configuration Variables >> Participant Registration
and change “Ask if the project requires human and/or animal participants” to “Yes”.
All projects with human and/or animal participants can be selected using the Report Editor.
Under “Input Received Signature Forms” a button called “Receive All” was created.
Clicking this button will cause the program to assign project numbers and mark the
signature page as received for all students who have completed the registration process.
Confirmation emails are sent to each student that had their signature page marked as received.
"Remove Old Judge Data" and "Remove Old Emergency Contact/Parent Data" was added to
"Database Backup/Restore". These permanently remove all information from the database
about these two respective groups. This means that all historical data will be lost but
the most recent information about judges and emergency contacts remains. Cleaning the database
this way dramatically improves the speed of the user editor. Make sure the database has been
backed up before trying these.
The judge's name now appears on the cancellation popup window when deleting an individual judge.
Increase the number of sorting and grouping fiels in the Reports Editor
Fix display list when emailing schools
Add "Judge -- Other Expertise" to Reports Editor
Add "Award -- Script Order" to allow student reports to be sorted the same way they appear on the "Award Ceremony Script"
A flag in the configuration variables under Particpant Registration
must be set to enable this.
Project types are Experiment, Innovation, and Study
Comment text box has been added to the project editor. This is only seen by
fair administrators and not by the student. Information related to project
safety can be flagged here. If text is present in this box, a flag appears
in the Registration Management list.
Project summaries longer than one page now print out properly. Blank pages
are still sometimes printed after long sumaries.
Choose Email Recipients query has been modified so that the most recent
email address for judges is now used.
Reports Editor has been changed so that cheques can be written for
individual students as well as one cheque per project. New report
data (split) has been added to make this work.
- Add an advanced option: Include Incompelete Registrations - Ignores the
registrations.status and just includes everyone. Downside: registrations
must have a division and category selected because the mysql query matches on
cat.year and div.year too.
Fall back to projectnumber sorting after projectsort (incase people manually set the project numbers in the project number field, and leave the projectsort empty
- Fix a bug with the ordering of the sql statement. Something I noticed fixing
this bug: Tour info and award info will generate an error if used together.
- New report option to fit the width of the report to the page
- Columns in each reports_*.inc.php can be specified with
'scalable' => true
to indicate that they may be scaled if the report is too wide for the page
- Obviously, do no scaling if the option is off (off by default)
- Add the ability to draw a static label box (without text)
- Add "self nominated award" 1 through 5 to the student reports
- Add a new report demonstrating how to use the above (this is of the format
Sudbury sent us).
titles (defaults to off)
- Renumber the order of the config variables in Participant Registration, it's
getting a bit crowded
- Fill in some missing types for config variables
- Add a 'total' option to the report generator, to signal that this column
should be added up.
- If total is != zero, it shows the total at the bottom of each table, else, it
shows the number of rows (changed the text to Total: for a total, and Rows:
to show rows, if the total is 0)
the project number field if blank).
- Add a new number option 'X', which counts among ALL projects, not just the
ones in the same division/cat.
- Add a padding argument to N or X (N0...N9) defaults to 2 for N, and 3 for X.
- Adds 3 columns to the project table:
- projectsort: for storing the expanded text
- projectnumber_seq: for storing the N or X number for projects
- projectsort_seq: for storing the N or X number for the sort order
- Add a new config option for sorting, and expand the text for the
projectnumber.
- Change the default sorting for reports and project lists to use the
projectsort category.
- Remove the gvrsf_tn option from the database, it's not needed now.
