Customize Student portal adding locker number and gpa
Forums:
We are wondering if anyone has customized the student portal to include their locker number, locker combination and cumulative GPA. We are trying to go paperless and would like to eliminate printing schedules except that we need the locker number. Any ideas? Thank you.

Locker Number
We had a similar request at our school. What we ended up doing was creating a new page under the Student Portal, naming it About Me. We have a few extra fields that you change as needed, it's pretty straight forward.
Under /Guardian create a page and call it aboutme.html:
----------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>About Me</title>
~[wc:commonscripts]
~[wc:guardian_header_yui]
<h1>About Me</h1>
<div class="group box-round">
<div id="aboutme" name="aboutme" >
<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="linkDescList">
<tr bgcolor="#edf3fe">
<td class="bold">Home Room:</td>
<td><input name="[1]Home_Room" readonly size="25" type="text" value="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bold">Home Room Teacher:</td>
<td><input name="[1]Home_Room_Teacher" readonly size="25" type="text" value="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#edf3fe">
<td class="bold">Locker Location:</td>
<td><input name="[1]locker_location" readonly size="25" type="text" value="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bold">Locker Number:</td>
<td><input name="[1]Locker_Number" readonly size="25" type="text" value="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#edf3fe">
<td class="bold">Locker Combo:</td>
<td><input name="[1]Locker_Combination" readonly size="25" type="text" value="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bold">Student ID:</td>
<td><input name="[1]Student_Number" readonly size="15" type="text" value="" /></td>
</tr>
</Table>
</div>
</div>
~[wc:guardian_footer_yui]
</body>
</html>
----------------------------------------------------------
Then got to /Wildcard/guardian_header.txt and guardian_header_yui.txt , scroll down until you see a bunch of <li> items with id="btn-xxxxxx". Find where you want it to appear in the list, and then insert the following code:
----------------------------------------------------------
<li id="btn-aboutMe"><a href="/guardian/aboutme.html">About Me</a></li>
----------------------------------------------------------
Under /Images, you can optionally upload a custom icon for this and name it btn_about_me.gif
Thenin /Images/img you can optionally upload almost the same icon and name it iconAboutMe.png
I've included the icons I made in this zip file: http://www.filedropper.com/aboutmeicon
I hope this is helpful and everything that you need as far as the lock info.
As far as the Cumulative GPA, that's a whole different beast. This is the info the runs on the cumulative.html page:
----------------------------------------------------------
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr bgcolor="#f6f6f6">
<td class="bold">~[text:psx.html.admin_students.cumulative.cumulative_info]</td>
<td class="bold">~[text:psx.html.admin_students.cumulative.value]</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#edf3fe">~[x:cumulativeinfo]
<td class="bold">[title]</td>
<td>[data]</td>
</tr>
</table>
----------------------------------------------------------
Good luck with that one.
