Alex Smith replied to Michael Davidson's discussion 'KidCheck Using Mint Linux'
Actually, installing the system with Linux Mint is really easy. We've qualified everything using Linux Mint v7 since it contains all the correct drivers for printers, scanners, Java and firefox pre-installed. (download here: http://www.linuxmint.com…

Alex Smith replied to Mary Maulding's discussion 'Pager numbers listed on name tag'
KidCheck is actually already setup to do this. If a child is assigned a pager number, either manually per guardian, manually per child or automatically, the pager number is printed on the child's name tag right below their check-in location.

Alex Smith replied to Keith Hauenstein's discussion 'Guardian account and Login account did not associate'
There's actually an easy fix. We just need to know who's account was re-created & we can merge them back. The way that KidCheck does the Guardian & Login account merge when the user creates them separately is that it looks for similar phone numbers…

Editing Authorized Guardian Lists

Well, after much debate (and I mean MUCH) we decided to enable the editing of parent's guardian lists in the people section. This gives you complete control over a parents account can allows you to add/remove and change the authorization of a guardian.
