Site@ School is an extreme powerful and mature CMS. It has many features and it's additional modules make it to a CMS that's unique for primary schools.
You find everything in the (long) List of features and the description of the available modules.
Site@School comes with a comprehensive manual, illustrated with over 300 screenshots, describing every operation in detail. Every new release has a completely updated manual.
===================================
* Site@School comes with a comprehensive manual with over 290 screenshots, describing every operation in detail. The manual can be installed in S@S, enabling easy consulting while you are working.
* Managing S@S is extremely easy. Within an hour you know the basic operations. A guided tour is available in the manual.
* Simple installation. We tried to make the installation as easy as possible by supplying a GUI (Graphical User Interface). All available modules are installed. In the GUI you fill in some text boxes and you have the choice of:
1. Installation with demonstration data: This means all modules are functional. A test teacher and a test pupil are in the system and 'everything' is functioning. The demo installation is useful to see a lot of the possiblilities of S@S.
2. Basic installation: Here you have to do everything yourself. Ideal when you build your site from scratch or start with your own template.
Whatever you choose, you do not have to edit complex configuration files. And if this is still too complicated, help is available. The installation is done only once and help can be found in Linux and Windows newsgroups or local user groups and, when you take our limited time in consideration, sometimes with us at our S@S4US Forum.
* S@S is Open Source Software licensed under the General Public License.
* S@S is LAMP and WAMP compatible. It runs under Linux with Apache, MySQL and PHP and also under Windows with the same software. S@S also runs on Windows 2024 server with IIS 6.0, PHP 4.3.1., Mysql 3.23.49.
* S@S runs fine on old hardware. We use the system with Linux on servers of 133 - 200 Mhz and 64 Mb RAM for schools of 2-300 pupils.
* S@S code, variable names, etc. and comments in the code are in English. This makes further development in other countries possible and easy. We assume that most people who write code in PHP know English.
* S@S can be coupled to an existing website-design. For the coupling of our CMS to your site you must have a fair knowledge of HTML and know how to integrate PHP code into HTML. The standard template is your example. However, we might be able to help you when you take our limited time in consideration. See the 'Creating templates' chapter of the manual. In case of problems, use the S@S4US Forum.
* A S@S site can be easily reorganized, i.e. change locations of sections and pages.
* S@S is multi-lingual with an easy user interface. This feature enables translatiing S@S 'on the fly'. Adapting linguistic elements of S@S to your school habits is simple. All textual elements in S@S are in separate language files thant can be translated via a translte interface.
* S@S is modular: When a school needs a facility (a chat, a newsletter, etc) you have the choice to add functionality of a module to your schoolsite. The modular design makes future modules easy to develop and integrate into your CMS.
* S@S is managed via your browser, and can be managed everywhere when an Internet connection and a browser are available.
* A 'Tips & Tricks' section. Here you find useful modifications to further customize your S@S with very simple means. This section is continually expanded by the users of S@S.
* Easy backup facilities: With a few mouseclicks you can make a local backup of your MySQL database. This feature is extremely useful for safety, because you have a local copy of your database. And it's also very useful when you migrate your schoolsite, for example to another ISP.
* Extensive E-mail alterts functionality throughout the site and in the modules. For site maintainers and and visitors interested in a particular item this means: notifications by E-mail when something changes on the site. This feature also greatly reduces management time.
* When users (teacher, pupils or other users) login to S@S a PHP session is used, for this reason cookies must be accepted on their client PC's.
