I'm making really good progress with the schedule building system.

This is going to take the form of a contrib module which provides an ECK entity, 'timeslot'.

Dependencies:

  • timefield
  • eck
  • the usual ctools, entityreference, etc

This then requires entities to act as sessions and schedules, and takes care of providing custom field widgets and formatters for the entityreference fields that join them up, as well as a big monster timetable building form.

For CREAM's use of this, it'll be:

  • schedule nodes; one for each day of the event.
  • session nodes, representing sessions and bofs
  • other timetabled events such as registration, lunch, socials, etc

There's a video of a demonstration of the recent build here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPWvSPFq6Ug

I'll update with more news soon.
