TEACHERS NAMES & CODES

[Liviu Lalescu]

Thank you for your offer! I know that coming from a single person this is very much. But unfortunately I cannot do it. I was thinking of something like 50k.

[Cyrus Ireri]

You mean 50k Euro

[Liviu Lalescu]

Yes, 50000, or 50,000, or 50 thousand, or fifty thousand euros. Sorry for the abbreviation!

[Cyrus Ireri]

Its okay.Wish i had that financial muscles.I would pay for it to effected.

[Liviu Lalescu]

You are very kind!

I will think about it in the future, making plans on how to implement adding more information to teachers, students, subjects, activity tags, rooms, and buildings. Like maybe ID, short name, and long name. Unfortunately, there are over 300 types of constraints and 900 dialogs for these constraints. It is a long time to convert them. I should consider simplifying these dialogs to less source files, but it is a titanic task, the code is so large... Also, each constraint considers only the current name (of teacher, students, subject, activity tag, room), and a conversion to ID would take a long time.

It is easy, predictable work, not like the algorithm or adding new constraints, but tedious and the mistakes are critical.

[Cyrus Ireri]

Take your time.We shall be waiting for the development

[Liviu Lalescu]

OK.

Do you have suggestions on what information to add to say a teacher? ID (unique integer), short name (string), long name (string), code (integer), comments (string)? Do you have better proposals for the name of these properties? Additional fields?

[Cyrus Ireri]

Name and code.Thats enough

[Liviu Lalescu]

If we rewrite the structure, it is best to do it properly and universally. I think the competition programs have short name and long name at least, and you also mentioned the code.

[Cyrus Ireri]

That would be fine

[Volker Dirr]

I fear there will no single person that is able to spent so much.
We should think about collecting a lot of small values to get the same sum.

I would second this.Your work should add value to your lives.Users can be  a blessing to you guys

[Volker Dirr]

The problem is that we need to inform the users about that.
Maybe with something like a kickstarter project. Or like Wikipedia is collection money. Sadly most guys use this software only a few times per year and probably won't notice it.
Maybe a thread where we describe the feature and print the collected money for that TODO so far, so everybody can see it more detailed.
hmm... I don't know.
Just doing nothing doesn't help. Most guys sadly don't donate :-(

[Liviu Lalescu]

Encouraged by my mother to try it, and by a nice idea of simplifying things by Volker, I began something. It might work, and it might be made much faster than I thought. I'll let you know.

The interface will have mostly only the short names, but internally FET will also contain long names and codes, and I intend to make these selectable in the HTML timetables, I mean which one to print in which timetable.

[Cyrus Ireri]

That will be great Liviu.Lemmie ask,for us who do distribute the hard copies to teachers in their different offices,how can one make it easier when it come to doing so?

Different teachers are usually in different offices/rooms.When doing so,i print and then start sorting timetables for teachers as per their  offices.If teacher's timetables can be indicated their offices,it can be easy since when sorting out,you just read them and place at their rightful offices instead of checking codes/ teachers and trying to remember where they are and then place them.
