When I was still setting the timetable for a University I had a similar problem:

We had 10 different departments
220 teachers
144 different groups
10 000 students and
68 rooms
4 different campuses

I defined two activity tags: One with all Venues and one with all venues excluding special venues, for example:

AllRooms:  R1, R2, R3,....., R68
Rooms: R6, R7, R8,...R68 where Rooms 1 to 5 are special rooms.

When defining the activities I added the appropriate activity tag to the appropriate teacher or activity.
I any way had to define all 4000 plus activities and it is only one click extra. I preferred this rather than to use the time constraint -->Activities--> preferred rooms.

Unfortunately one cannot add two room activity tags to the same activity, if I am correct, for example if one defines activity tag SpecialRooms: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and AllRooms: R6, .... R68. In such a case AllRooms can be added to all activities and we can only add SpecialRooms when needed, but FET does not allow this and there might be a good reason for that.

Thank you.

I do not know C or C++ but it is probably now a good time to start looking at it.

I will download and see what I can do.

Kind regards.

Thank you very much, much appreciated. (I am not worried or interested about the import, probably to you it will be very important. These figures change quarterly and must anyway be entered manually.)

The student numbers are very important as the institution use this for calculating workloads for teachers and lecturers.

Kind regards.

This is a part from the fet file saved in the same folder as the html timetables, on Windows 7 in the Users folder:

<Activities_List>

<Activity>
   <Teacher>AA</Teacher>
   <Subject>BusMan3.ONB303SR</Subject>
   <Activity_Tag>Retail</Activity_Tag>
   <Students>RTM3B(CR)</Students>
   <Duration>4</Duration>
   <Total_Duration>4</Total_Duration>
   <Id>340</Id>
   <Activity_Group_Id>0</Activity_Group_Id>
   <Number_Of_Students>75</Number_Of_Students>
   <Active>true</Active>

I am talking about the Official Fet.

Sorry about the spacing.

At the moment the exported Activities csv file looks like this (Example):

Students Sets   Subject                               Teachers   Activity Tags   Total Duration   Split Duration   Min Days   Weight   Consecutive
RTM3A(CR)   RBusMan3.RBM300SR   AA   Retail                  4                  4         
RTM3A(CR)   BusMan3.ONB303SR   BB   Retail                  4                  4         

I want to know if the following is possible:

Students Sets   Nr. Students   Subject                                Teachers   Activity Tags   Total Duration   Split Duration   Min Days   Weight   Consecutive
RTM3A(CR)   100                  RBusMan3.RBM300SR   AA   Retail                  4                  4         
RTM3A(CR)   120                  BusMan3.ONB303SR   BB   Retail                  4                  4         

Although it is the same group the numbers for different subjects differ. I noticed that these figures are available in the data and timetable fet file.

Thank you very much

Dear Volker

In the data and timetable fet file the sizes for subjects are indicated. Is it not possible when export to csv file to also export the group and/or subject sizes.

In some institutions the group and subject size are important in calculating workloads and ftes for lecturers.

The groups with the respective sizes are already exported but this is not always the same for all subjects as the number of students can be changed on the add activities page and this is not exported.

I did the following:

Uninstall PHP 5 as it uses LIBEAY32.dll
Search Registry for leftovers of LIBEAY32.dll. Found none as the uninstalling of PHP 5 removed the registry entries.
Run fet
Enable automatic update option in fet and run again.
No error,  problem fixed.

So it seems to me that it was PHP 5 as it installs the lib in the registry.
The question now: Why had versions prior to fet 5.21.3 not this problem.

Anyway according to me the problem is solved now.

Thanks.

Frans

I agree with you.

What I mean by service provider is my Internet service provider.

In my case it is not serious. I am nearly on pension and I am just fascinated by FET the reason that I still follow the changes, but it will be a good thing to know why if other users get the same error.

I have quite a few programs installed. The majority of these programs are from work.
Programs such as Windows 2007 (Word, Excel, Access etc)
PHP
Python

My antivirus and firewall program is Comodo, also freeware. I am using this for sometime already. (I understand that Essentials is not updated as from 1 April. Do not know if it is true. I also have defender but according to me it is very light weight, because it is free.)

I also use a malware program Glary Utilities (freeware)

R-statistical language

Instead of 7-zip I use IZarc. It supports all 7-zip formats and many more.
I also us Kompozer a free html editor.

There are also other programs, but these program are like FET, you just extract the file to a folder of your choice. Nothing is installed in the registries.


I noticed just now the following:

I search the registry for LIBEAY32.dll and one is listed, the PHP one. If I copy this lib to the FET directory (same version) and enable updates then there is no error. Any other version of this lib does not work.

This indicates to me that the registry entry can have an influence.

So what I can do next, as I do not use PHP a lot, is to uninstall PHP completely and remove  all registry keys referring to the lib. I can anyway install it again.

I will let you know then what is the result.

Frans

As you said, it is weird.

Although I am not an computer expert, does the service provider (rules and so on) not play a role here?

However I know what to do now.

Liviu

I want to congratulate you:

With automatic update enabled: get error
With automatic update disabled: No error - works fine

Just as a test I also did this on Windows XP. Irrespective if automatic update is enabled or disabled it woks.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards.

Frans

yes I have it enabled

No success but the lib is a different version and not under iTunes but under Program Files (86)\Common files\Apple

I found this on the Internet:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/906310/installing-registering-win32-openssl-libraries-distributed-with-my-app

http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/26801

I am going to do one last thing. I see that you use iTunes and perhaps this is the trouble maker that it installs something somewhere.

The lib on my computer are not from installed programs but zipped programs that I just unzipped to a folder.

If I can find an iTunes program to download (trial) I will do it quickly and install and see then what happens.
