Attendance Register

A simple system for recording attendance.

Caution

The program is only written for one person to use a time. If multiple users try to use it at the same time side effects may occure including data loss or the program(s) crashing.

Customisation

Splashscreen

To add a custom splashscreen that appears as the program loads, save the image in .\Static\ with the name loadingimage.jpg.

Note

The default aspect ratio supported for a custom splashscreen is 3:1. Support for different aspect ratios in setup.json is not currently implimented but may be introduced in the future. If you require a different aspect ration, you must edit the source code to support it. The lines you must edit are:

• 1130: pixel_values = image.resize((90, 30)).getdata() # Change (90,30) to (width of the image according to your aspect ratio, the number of lines the console window will display (30 is good))
• 1135: if index % 90 == 0: # Change 90 to the width of the image chosen above

Important

The static folder must be stored in the same folder as the executable file as the spashscreen image isn't stored in the executable.

Executable file icon

To add a custom file icon either:

• Save the icon in .\Static\ with the name icon.ico

• Adjust the compile command to point to your icon:

  pyinstaller.exe .\local.py --noconfirm --clean --log-level WARN --onefile --hidden-import babel.numbers --icon <\path\to\your\icon>.ico

Note

To change the icon you must recompile the program.

Compiling

With custom icon

pyinstaller.exe .\local.py --noconfirm --clean --log-level WARN --onefile --hidden-import babel.numbers --icon .\Static\icon.ico

Without custom icon

pyinstaller.exe .\local.py --noconfirm --clean --log-level WARN --onefile --hidden-import babel.numbers --icon "NONE"
