I use my board for students. I would like a basic mysql gradebook that could link up with vb.

The grade book could be very simple: ID and final grade

The link to a vb user could be based on the ID.

At the end of the term, I'd like to mass print the student's final grade in their user cp or pm it.

Any ideas?

Of course if there is interest-- a better grade book and a continuously updated display of all grades available via the user cp would be cool:cool:

Ok I will write one. Is anyone else interested in this?

I have wrote this kind of script / program in c and c++ before.. heh

but I don't know php well enough to say .. ya sure I can do it

Same here. I can do it in C++.

I'm thinking of creating a C++ grading program that will write everything out as a mysql dump. The dump could add a grade table to vb or create a new database. Once the grade database is loaded it could be linked to vb. A hidden variable (like password) could be added to the profile that would contain the Student ID (or students could use their ID as the password). A link to a new php file that presents the student's current grade with maybe a few statistics could then be added to the control panel.

This weekend I wrote a barebones program to convert a text file of grades into mysql. A grades database could be edited via phpMyAdmin.

I'm not sure anyone else is interested in this. Do many people use vb for their classes? It works out very well for my classes.
