Title: additional periods per day
Post by: arubin on November 17, 2013, 06:27:09 PM
This software is great! It has been a big help.
I have recently been changing over the schedule at my new school to fet.  It is a small elementary school that starts at 8:30 AM and ends at 4:00 PM.  The period lengths run from 30, 40, 45, to 50 minutes.  It seems to to me the easiest way to deal with this would be to set the number of periods per day to 90.  Is there a version with 90 periods available?
Thanks!

There is not directly available a version with 90 "hours" per day. But it is easy to obtain one:

Get FET-5.20.2 sources tar.bz2 and unpack. In file src/engine/timetable_defs.h modify line 131 from 60 to 90. Compile FET.

Then, in order for the things to be as easy as possible, modify manually the .fet file with a text or XML editor and add 90 hours per day, with their name.

Keep in mind not to enter the hours per day dialog from FET when the file has 90 hours per day, as the program may crash. The rest should work even with 90 hours per day.
