Suggestions regarding the output of the timetables

[mskalsi]

Teachers' names are abbreviated in activities; is it feasible to include each teacher's complete name next to their abbreviation beneath the entire time table's HTML output so that students can quickly identify their names?
Please also increase font size of institution name in final output of time table.

I will write down these suggestions in the TODO list.

Do you know that in recent FET versions (starting with FET 6.22.0, released on 16 June 2024) you can use a teacher's name, long name, and code? And that you can choose which one of these to use in the resulted timetables (see the Settings for the Timetables).

Thank you for suggesting. I am currently talking with Liviu and we are currently coding a few ideas how it could be done. We think it can be included soon. I hope guys will sponsor/donate for this new feature. Please donate to Liviu, because he want to code it for all timetables (sadly a lot of work).

Thank you for responding to my previous message. Another suggestion that occurs to me is this: let's say a teacher teaches a common subject to two groups at the same time in the same room. Then, in the time table's final HTML output, both groups are printed in the vertical time slots, which makes it appear a little crowded. Printing just one group in each vertical time slots would be feasible, in my opinion. Please try to make it happen.
Regards!

hmm... Maybe i misunderstand, but it is horizontal. It is vertical only if there is not enough space left and right from the table. So the table can't be wider. So you need more space left/right. That can be done by different settings:
- use smaller margins left and right
- use a larger paper
- use a smaller font
- use shorter names
- use landscape format instead of portrait format
- ...

Hello, @mskalsi ,

We made the "legend", meaning your first suggestion. Please test the snapshot and let me know. I announced it on https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?topic=6043.0 .

The second suggestion is also done. (Bold, but you can also change the font size by css)

Hello, mskalsi,

The new version 6.22.3 was just released. Thank you for your suggestions!

Hello "Data to print" is a bit misleading as a menu item I had to hunt it down to find it
maybe "Output settings".
Also since the dialog is huge and extensive, please consider a "restore defaults" or even maybe a "custom settings" menu.
Also a setting that uses the full names in column and row headers and short names in the cells would propably what people would need most, my 2¢

[Liviu Lalescu]

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestions! I will add them in the TODO list. Clarity for the user is not my principal skill

You can restore all the Settings to defaults. I know this is not what you suggest, but it is something.

You could try to print the legend, instead.
