Better schedule, please
Some thoughts on how the schedule could be better:
* Skip showing Monday and Sunday on the "week view".
* Use 4 columns, one per track, on the "day view".
* Make the row divided into 5 minute slots, and use that to show if sessions collide.

It would be very nice if you could alter the css file to make the schedule table better printable. As it is, the table itself is very small and some menu points and the views filters need lots of space. I'd like to sit in the sun with the schedule printed and planning the days in Paris :)
Thanks a lot for all the organizing ...
Hi,
I just threw together a quick printable version, which just hides everything apart from the agenda itself, using a user stylesheet in Firefox. User stylesheets are applied to all sites, so I just printed out the schedule, and then renamed the stylesheet. I hid the session date, as I printed out each day separately, so it didn't seem worth repeating. Anyway, in case anybody finds it handy:
/*
* Edit this file and copy it as userContent.css into your
* profile-directory/chrome/
*/
body.page-schedule div#header,
body.page-schedule div#footer,
body.page-schedule div#sidebar-right,
body.page-schedule div#content-header,
body.page-schedule div.view-filters,
body.page-schedule table tbody th.calendar-dayview-hour,
body.page-schedule table tbody th.calendar-agenda-items,
body.page-schedule div.view-data-node-data-field-session-date-field-session-date-value {
display: none !important;
}
body.page-schedule calendar-calendar tr {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
body.page-schedule div.view-data-users-name,
body.page-schedule div.view-data-node-data-field-session-date-field-session-room-nid {
display: inline;
width: auto;
}
body.page-schedule div.view-data-users-name {
font-style: italic;
}
body.page-schedule div.view-data-node-data-field-session-date-field-session-room-nid a {
color: 0000FF;
}
body.page-schedule div.calendar div.view-item-session_calendar {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}
Hi
thanks for your message, we are actually building some stuff to make it better.
We'll try to put your ideas in the package of improvement :)
It is just one week left! and must say that this was the worst solution to a schedule I have seen, do it in HTML if you do not manage it in Drupal.
Yes, I am pissed, because I also pay to learn something.
Hi,
On a related topic - it would be nice if the View could be altered so that the table at: http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/user/x/bookmarks had a column for the session time. That way it would be really easy to see which sessions have been picked up and scheduled.
Thanks!
Printable would be handy, maybe a pdf download with the complete schedule on one page?
If one column per track is not an option (it might use too much space), simply color-coding the sessions would already provide a better overview.
