Station Schedule Getting rid of extra white space.

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I have been entering my schedule into the station module and I would like to put forth an idea to get rid of extra white space within the hour blocks.

Currently it appears that when the schedule is built instead of building one row at a time(one hour time slot for each day of the week) and ordering the data that way it is called up one column at a time (one hour after another through the whole day).

Currently it would call up the first day midnight to 1am, then 1am to 2am and keep working through the week in this way.

Changing the height tags to min-height would allow the cells to auto adjust but this would end up with things getting out of alignment. If things were lined up so that they fell within the hour markers defined on the right this would work. This could be done using a TBODY /TBODY tags at the beginning and end of each hour. This is not possible due to the way the information in sorted in the call from the database.

The data needs to be changed to be called up one row at a time so these tags can be inserted. So that it would call up

midnight to 1am the first day, then midnight to 1am the second day, etc.

This would allow the TBODY tags to be used to keep each hour's program within its tbody but still allow for auto adjustment of the height.

Any comments, ideas as to if I have this right and if this would work or could be done?

Thanks for your time and help and consideration of this idea!

No, but I think that redirecting them to the day schedule is a better alternative in the mean time.

You can do this with a menu option that points to

node/2/view/today

Where 2 is the node number of the schedule. You can find the node number by viewing the schedule unless you have modules installed that provide alias for the path then go in like you want to edit the schedule and there you will always see the node number.

This is not very easy to figure out that this works but it does. It is kind of a redirect as you will never end up with that url in your browser. On Mondays like today it would take you to
