Custom Student Alert

mrfcolon — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 01:31:27 GMT

I am attmepting to make a custom student alert that if "no_photo_student" is checked (it's a custom field, which I also created an extension for located on a custom student screen named "Custom Alerts").

I have saved this code as "no_photo_student.html" under /alerts and /admin/alerts.

Any ideas why it won't work? I have asked AI and all and still no luck...

<div class="studentAlert" id="alert-NoPhoto~(studentfrn)">
~[if.~(no_photo_student)=1]
<img class="alertImage" src="/images/house.jpg" />
<div class="alertContent">
<p class="alertHeader">~(studentname)</p>
<p>Student DOES NOT have a photo release on file</p>
</div>
~[/if]
</div>

That's a whole class at PSU, but, to make a long story short, the way you reference a database extension is a little different:

~([Students.U_Students_Extension]photo_release), if that's the name of your field.

The PowerSchool Users Group (https://groups.io/g/psug

is generally a better place to ask alert and database extension questions. But there's a whole class on that at PSU, as I mentioned. (Yes, I teach it, thanks for asking).
