Weird glitch -- skipping/double-scheduling activities

Postby tankgirl73 on Mon Nov 09, 2009 11:32 pm

I'm not sure whether this is an "activities" glitch or a "today" glitch...

This is what's happening. We have completed activities for today. I checked them off, saved, and approved, within the "today" page.

I want to print off tomorrow's schedule. When I call it up, I notice that some of the activities are incorrect -- they have "skipped" a day. For instance, today we did spelling lesson 66. Tomorrow should be lesson 67. Instead, it says lesson 68.

I look at the activities page. The list of activities is correct. Lesson 66 has today for a completion date, lesson 67 is the next one scheduled.

I look at the "predict dates" page, and here's where it gets interesting. Lesson 66 and lesson 67 both have today as a 'predicted date'! And yet only 66 is coming up on the 'today' page as an option to check it off. Lesson 67 is in some weird limbo...

I've mentioned before how I'd love there to be an option to declare today 'finished' so that uncompleted activities automatically get pushed to the next scheduled day, because I like to print off tomorrow's schedule the night before. But now with this glitch, even activities that were FINISHED are not coming up correctly on tomorrow's schedule!

This isn't happening in every course, only some of them. I can't figure out a pattern connecting the affected ones, why it's some and not others. Or why it's any at all... it shouldn't be scheduling two activities in the same course for the same date at all, right?

Thank you for reporting this potential bug. Would you be able to send us a specific course that we can look at, it seems to be working on the courses that we tested?

Of course, everything seems to be working now... perhaps it only glitches after I complete and approve activities for a particular day? For 11/10 I forgot to input the work completed during the day... so I had to do it manually, and everything was already correctly rolled over to the next day. And 11/11 is a holiday.

If I see this again I will post ASAP. Our "Spelling" course was definitely having this problem, as was the "Ecoutez Parlez" course... I remember those ones for sure. I'll also try playing around with it a bit, see if I can replicate the issue.
