help with staggered talks in schedule grid

[sheila miguez]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting a schedule with staggered talk times to render on the grid. I'd love some pointers. Here are the details.

I've got 3 rooms, and two of them have some staggered sessions in the afternoon. The grid renders okay except for one line where a table element hangs off in a 4th column.

Here's a gist with a script that loads up some csv files to create schedule objects. I've got the example csv files to show the offset problem.

I'm not sure I have all the right assumptions for what will be rendered on the grid -- I've not dived deeply in to the timetables module yet and have experimented with assumptions based on the objects I create.

I'm using this branch of my symposion fork
https://github.com/scipy-conference/symposion/tree/slot_editable

It's fairly similar to the vanilla branch of symposion but has some things based of pyohio merged in along with a model change in SlotKinds so that we don't have to hardcode whether a slotkind is a presentation versus something where the grid will display a content override.

PyCon CA had exactly this problem, too. I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it, but seem to recall it was half code and half data… Check out our reepo's change log on the timetable module as a start; I'll try to remember to do the same when I have time and internet and jog my memory.

I'll dig in to that later today. For the benefit of anyone who is following, the changeset is

Yep, that's the one!

It's not the whole story though. Here's the data tweak I was remembering:

Oh thanks!

I also noticed from the code diff that y'all added a new schedule management command. That will be helpful!

I think I have it now. https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2014/schedule/talks-posters/

I went ahead and turned my one-off schedule tool in to a command that is different than the one for pyconca since we have been using a csv format more like the one in use by the pyohio symposion fork.

https://github.com/scipy-conference/symposion/blob/master/symposion/schedule/management/commands/create_schedule.py

Once things have settled down with this scipy, I'm going to take a look at all the forks to see what might be good to merge.
