Dear Admins,

             I want to send weekly summary of 1-Attendance 2-Behavior 3-Mark book through Email to the Parents. How I can achieve this through cron jobs or any other mean.

Best Regards,

Dear Ghulam,

Please take a look at the CLI script /cli/planner_parentWeeklyEmailSummary.php. This covers Planner, Behaviour and Markbook, but not not attendance.

I run crontab -e on my Ubuntu Linux servers, and this lets me schedule when to run these scripts. For more details on the other scripts included in Gibbon, and cron, check out:

https://docs.gibbonedu.org/administrators/misc/command-line-tools/

See how you get on with this, and then perhaps we can look at adding attendance into it in v19.

Thanks,

Ross

Hi @ross and @sandra

Was attendance incorporated into planner_parentWeeklyEmailSummary.php? I checked the Command Line Tools page but didn’t see it.

Would it be possible to have a separate script specifically for attendance notifications—particularly for daily student absence notices sent to parents?

For example, a notification might look like this:

Unexcused Absences – [Today’s Date]

This email is regarding [Student’s Name].

Our records indicate that your student was absent for one or more class periods today…

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thanks!

I have found the attendance scripts in /cli:
attendance_dailyIncompleteEmail.php
attendance_dailyIncompleteEmail_byClass.php
attendance_weeklySummaryEmail.php

I am getting errors with attendance_weeklySummaryEmail.php.
