Recently, I’ve been bugged with the fact that I’m too lazy to write down the homework/tests for the day and having later to cram for it. So, with encouragement from a few others, I wrote an online homework tracker program - MTapp WorkPress.

WorkPress

Inspired by the coding methods of WordPress, I’ve made WorkPress the same structure. Not to mention the name, which I hope won’t cause any confusion, the skinning and functions are structured the exact way WordPress is. I did try to make this application as flexible as possible.

Currently, it can be viewed on this page on my school’s website. There are categories, with subjects in each category. Users can sign up, but every action is logged. Users may be promoted to admins who then in turn can post homework / test dates and details.

There are many features to add. It’s currently working on its minimal status. Because of the complexity of the script, I published it before I could write more plugins.

The ones I hope to have done ASAP are:

• User control panel
• Preferences including ignored subjects (that the user has finished) and email notification.
• Improved admin control panel
• Add/edit homework (done!)
• Add/edit subjects
• Add/edit categories

MTapp?

I decided to start a series of php/mysql based common applications to ensure the safety and comfort of our daily lives. The name “MTapp” came from mtsix and application. Now the pronounciation for this would be

em-tap

After this one, I plan to make a guestmap, with a more cheeky name of course. I just experienced with “position” in css of list elements, which could help a lot by putting those on selected modules.

..Until then, it’s back to revising the script. I plan to make this open source as soon as it hits a stage with a confident degree of safety.
