Excellent creating timetables!!

Sílvia, very good translation.

I've not tested your print function, but sure it's a good idea code abaout it. FET needs something like this. But Html format is needed also.

Yes, I knew this.

I told about FET writing this value depending on the # of slots.

This is the only value I have to modify each time I want to print a timetable. Just 20 seconds..

For print in one page TT with short time periods we need to change td_height and make it little. Perhaps fet can write for default a value depending on the number of periods in a day user deffined.

Another nice thing will be write a CSS preferences dialog, but I suppose it's harder.

PS: Write this css file and use html for output were a very good idea.

First of all, thanks for your replay.

I agree yours comments and I'll use 2nd possibility.

It's clear that is very difficult to adapt FET to work with different duration periods. You explained it very well (html problem it's a good example).

In Catalunya we also tech fractional arithmetic in 5th or 6th, but not every body learn it.

At my school I have periods of 1 hour and periods of 1h30min.

Monday, wednesday, friday:
8.30-9.30 9.30-10.30 11-12 12-13  (4 periods of 1 hour)

Tuesday, Thrusday:
8-9 9-10 10-11 11.30-13 (3 periods of 1 hour and one of 1.5 hours)

One possibility:
I choose some activities of 3 hours and put them in two periods of 1.5hours) but I have to do this manually.

Other possibility:
Put all periods of 0.5 hours, but I think is not a good solution.

Better possibility:
FET choose which subject to split in 2 of 1.5hours, and which ones to split in 3 of 1hour.

I think this is not possible at this time, but it would be a nice suggestion.

Thanks

I need it also. Perhaps we have to write it in suggestions forum. 

A student choice 5 subjects of the list? One of each row? If yes, don't make subgroups, create 5 subjects like this:
Science A (Physics A 9 or Chemistry A)
Science B (Physics B 9 or Chemistry B9)
Socials (History or Geography)
Lang (French or Hindi)
Misc (Art, ICT or Business)

In each subject put the teachers you need.

Something more...

You have created diferent subjects for diferent years. It's not necessary. You can use subject math for years one to twelve, when you create an activity you match it to students you need.

I'm getting that I have to add more slots during the same time period ... students don't all take the same course at the same time.  Do I have to add some kind of subgroup to create the needed slots?

Do I have to specify # of students?   If I have 100 students and 100 teachers, and 100 rooms, I could teach 100 courses at the same time, right?  So, this error -- not enough slots -- is saying ... I don't have enough what?

Perhaps you need to add subgroups or not. It depends.

If some students of year Sr Kg learn math at same time that other students of year Sr Kg learn arts, you have to put maths and arts at same activity and FET will use only one slot. For this 2 subjects.
In one activity you can put more than one teacher and more than one group, and you can create one subject with name Maths and Arts.

Another way you can create 2 subgroups of Sr Kg. Then you assign some activities to group Sr Kg, and some to Sr Kg1 and others to Sr Kg2.

Exactly,

In time constraints (students) you have for Sr Kg only 90 slots (green cells), but in activities you have more than 90. You can see it in Statistics Students.

You must to check the activities for this year. Perhaps they have too much maths or arts or languages...

Perhaps you need to *Modify* the break constraint for add lunch period, not to add new constraints for same groups.
