School timetable [#2330521]

Hello
I'm creating a lesson attendance and mark management web application in Drupal for our school.

I have two content types (Lecture and Substitute teaching, the latter used in the case that a teacher is absent), and I would like to show them in a Week view. They both have a date field (with day granularity) and a "Teaching hour" taxonomy reference, with multiple possible values. This is because our school day is organized in 8 Teaching hours: 1st hour from 8:00 to 8:50, 2nd hour from 8:50 to 9:40 and so on. A Lecture could last only one hour or more.

So that's what I'm seeking for: I'm trying to make a weekly view to see the Lectures, but instead of the classical per hour view I would like to have 8 rows (one for each taxonomy term) and in the cells the corresponding Lecture or Substitute teaching. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Did you ever find a solution?

I'm trying to make a simple timetable for a school. Days on top and lesson times on left with repeating content.

I was searching for a module with such ability but no luck.

Hi!
Yes I did! :) This nice module did the trick: https://www.drupal.org/project/tablegroup

The result is really nice, but it's not optimal: if for a particular date you don't have any lesson, that day won't appear in the timetable. You can workaround this by creating a content type "holiday", or similar, assign to it all the lesson times for that day and configure the view to show also the holiday content type. By having a similar feature in the Calendar module, this workaround wouldn't be necessary.

I hope that I've helped you! If you find some better solution I would be grateful if you would share it with me :)

Have a nice weekend! :)
