Idea for this diploma thesis came from an e-mail I got from Trebnje primary school. In the e-mail they expressed the need for a parent-teacher conferences managing system. In their current system, parents have to wait in line, until a certain teacher would be available to speak with them. That would sometimes cause confusion and impatience between parents. For a solution to this problem, I designed a web tool, in which parents can make a reservation for a specific time period with one or many teachers. This decreases long waiting times and confusion associated with it. Designing such a tool seemed like it would provide many challenges and the underlying topic was interesting and manageable enough to present in this thesis.
I decided to design this project using Plone content management system. First I will present some general information on content management systems, then I will describe Plone and its key components which I will later use in a concrete example of designing a basic web tool for signing up to a parent-teacher conference. In this example I will describe the functionalities of such a tool and will provide screenshots and code snippets.
