As promised, a write-up of my presentation at the January Drupalers meeting.

My name is Dale McGladdery, and I'm a Drupala ... sorry, wrong meeting. Here we go.

Northern Voice Scheduling Grid

The Views module via theming allows custom formatting of list views using PHP code. This formatting method, combined with CCK, can be used to provide a data driven schedule grid. This was used to create the Northern Voice scheduling grid: 2007.northernvoice.ca/schedule.

This Views feature was also used to create the Northern Voice FAQ page: 2007.northernvoice.ca/faq

My apologies for people looking for an exact how-to. This will, I'm positive, give you enough information to recreate the grid, but it isn't a complete set of step-by-step instructions.

There was record turn out at the January 25th meeting with approximately 30 people vying for chairs in the Bryght office in Gastown. The longest distance traveled award goes to a certain Toronto based "Bryght guy" joining us via webcam.

There were 4 presentations:
- Contec (Drupal + Mobile Phones)
- BPO Canada
- Dale McGladdery on making a scheduling grid with Views
- Steven Wittens with a demo of his new jQuery widgets

To go along with Dale's notes about the Vancouver League of Drupalers November 2006 meeting, here's my video of Dale demonstrating Drupal 5 Beta 2:
