schedule grid

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.

I recently did a presentation for the Vancouver Drupalers on how to abuse a list view into making a scheduling grid:

I've posted a write-up of the presentation in the Vancouver group. If you're interested, check out: http://groups.drupal.org/node/2647

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.
