view the exam timetable by days

[kdsayang]

Hi,
It's been a while. Now I'm trying to use FET to generate Final Exam timetable.

B4 that, I just love xxx.fet_index.html file... hehe

My problem is to view the exam timetable by days which it shows all the exam subject by days.

see below. As u can see that It can view all the exam subject by days. If on Sunday have 3 exam paper, It will show like the picture below. TQ

Volker knows the answer better than me, so please wait an answer from him.

Can't you use any of the current timetable outputs? I would not like to add additional timetable layout, because the size of timetables output is already large.

Maybe you could use a converter from the xml output.

YES I can used the current timetable outputs BUT my boss want specifically like above  

One way to cut the size is to make an option where user can choose  which timetable outputs that they only want to generate.

Where can I get those XML converter?? tq

[Liviu Lalescu]

There are no xml converters developed until now. I thought that you might know some C++ or other language and write a program to convert the information.

I prefer to write all the timetables, because people might not know that they can set this or might not know about certain variants of timetables.

Let us wait for Volker's answer.

Even if he will write such timetable output, I won't release a new version soon, because this is a critical period, in which FET must be very stable. We might release a temporary version for you to use it.

[Volker Dirr]

Hallo,

it is not impossible to write something like that. But am am coding currently on other things, so this must wait.

I am not sure if i understand 100% correct. can you please sent me your fet data file, because i can check more easy what you mean and how it will look like.

Is your request a single table with all activities?

[Liviu Lalescu]

I think if you add such a table, you might follow this arrangement: for each slot (day and hour), add Subject|Act. tag|Teachers|Students|Room on a different line for each activity in this time slot (so that the timetable goes downwards, not to the right).

[Volker Dirr]

I am just thinking about 3 things:
1. How to order the activities in a cell. (By Teacher, Students, Activity ID, ...)
2. The including information in that sample is incomplete. I must export 4 things: students, subjects+activity tag, teachers and rooms.
3. What is the correct order of point 2? The order of other tables was clear to me, because i set more important first. The order was clear, because i knew how read that table and why. But what about this table? Who read it? Why? What is his goal?

The fet file is not finish yet. That's why I generate the table using M$ Word. In couples of day it will be finish and I wil email it to u.

Yes

I am just thinking about 3 things:
Who read it? Why? What is his goal?

Student and lecturers. Their goal is to know for example on Sunday (02/11/08) at 9 to 9.30, there are 3 tests that start concurrently. This is the table where all lecturer and student can get to know what exam paper on certain day and date plus they also know at that period of time, there are also others paper that start concurrently with another paper.

The others table is fine. For example, If Information Technology (IT) students want to see their exam timetable, they just go to group or year timetable where it shows specifically other IT student in semester 1,2 etc.

[Liviu Lalescu]

Volker did work on your request for timetable for activities, I am sorry it is not yet into official FET, we might release a snapshot today or tomorrow, to help you with that. I hope you can use it and report us if it is OK.

[Liviu Lalescu]

kdsayang, we'll release a snapshot in about 30 minutes from now, please get it when ready and tell us if the new all activities timetables are good.

[kdsayang]

I have downloaded it. Run it and this is great. Give me some time to analyze the table and make some suggestion to make that all activities table ROCK

tq

[kdsayang]

ok, i've some suggestion on the all activities table.

1. I want all the data to arrange from top to bottom (horizontal) and not side by side (vertical)
for e.g top bottom

__________
| Subject A |
|_________|
|Subject B  |
|_________|
|Subject C  |
|_________|

NOT like this . side by side

______________________________
| Subject A | Subject B | Subject C |
|_________|_________|_________|



2. can u group them all in one column. Current view is in separate column.

3. when u group them in one column, you have to check 1st whether the subject are on the same day or not.
i) if the subjects are on the same day and time it will look like this

____________________________________
|           |0900-0930|0930-1000|1000-1030|
|______|_________|_________|________ |
|Monday|                Subject A                   |
|           |---------------------------------------|
|           |                Subject B                   |
|           |---------------------------------------|
|           |                Subject C                   |
|           |---------------------------------------|
|______|____________________________|

ii) if the subjects are not on the same day, it will look like this

____________________________________
|           |0900-0930|0930-1000|1000-1030|
|______|_________|_________|________ |
|Monday|                Subject A                   |
|______|____________________________|
|           |                Subject B                   |
| Tues   |---------------------------------------|
|  day    |                Subject C                   |
|           |---------------------------------------|
|______|____________________________|

Sorry, but seems too late now to change. Please tell us if the new all activities timetables are usable by you as they are now or if they really do not work.

[kdsayang]

all activities table are working but I think the way of the data showed is quite confusing and not attractive. I think my suggestion on previous post is much more clear to view and print. Just my opinion.

Thanks

[Liviu Lalescu]

I also told Volker (he is in charge with html timetables) to do like you suggest, but he told me that we need to keep a unitary structure, so the all activities timetables look like the other timetables.

I'm sorry for that, let's wait for Volker's answer.
