BoF Scheduling tool

It will require porting the preprocess and Views schedule from D6 COD to D7, its pretty tightly integrated for BoF scheduling.

Doesn't look like there are currently any issue there either regarding it's upgrade to 7.x. Mike, any interest in helping to get that started?

The feature should be able to be developed without the DrupalCon site itself. But yes we do have a staging site (http://denver2012.scratch.drupal.org/). The source code is in bzr and it a bit of a PITA to get access to, so I think the easiest way to go about it would be to have this developed in a fresh D7 install locally and just re-create the way COD in D6 is doing this and then bundle it up as a feature that we can put on the DrupalCon site.

Typically we've been installing a version of COD6 locally and looking at how the feature is built and then replicating that in D7 side by side as a standalone feature which can then be submitted to the cod_support issue queue. It seems to work pretty well and as each feature is already pretty succinct doesn't usually take more than a couple hours at most to do one.

Here's what's on the site:

BoFs don't share physical rooms as sessions (though they can at different time slots) but we don't need to duplicate room and timeslot content types. Scheduling functionality is shared enough that having a separate feature is redundant.

Also, a port of the session (including scheduling and bof support) is happening at #1150334: Upgrade the cod_session, cod_bof Feature to D7

"Or if you think I really need to tie into the existing Room and TimeSlot content types, please send me a Features dump of these contents so I can put them on my test dev server here."

We can get you a dump and/or scratch site setup with the content types from denver2012 if you like, but there are no created nodes, so I recommend starting from #1150334: Upgrade the cod_session, cod_bof Feature to D7 and creating content.

If the relation between BoFs and sesssions regarding scheduling isn't clear I recommend setting up a D6 COD site. There is a video on usecod.com and documentation at http://drupal.org/node/1208088.

What is the timing for getting this task done? I might be able to take care of this, if you want, but not until after BADCamp, and probably more like the end of next week.

@oadaeh, having the COD schedule ported (http://drupal.org/node/1150334) by the end of November would be great, but BoF scheduling probably won't go live till February of next year. The code shared though so the first deadline is the most important.

I started working on this last night. I will hopefully have something up before the end of the day.

This is just an FYI to say that I've got this mostly done. In testing it, I've discovered a couple of tweaks I need to make before I post the patch. However, that will have to wait until I get done earning my keep for the day, so hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning I'll have it here for people to take a crack at.

The attached patch depends on http://drupal.org/node/1150334#comment-5504934 or some later reasonably close patch. Basically, the BoF module needs the Views plugin provided by the Session module.

If I created the feature or the patch incorrectly, let me know and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

Updated patch that includes the new file I left out of the previous patch.

This had been committed. Thanks oadaeh!

Coltrane can you please enable bof mobile feature on website too. I need that urgently for app submission.
