Modify timetable view in conferences

[jordisan]

We would like to modify the timetable template for conferences. It seems there aren't 'parallel' template files to modify or clone it, and all other templates aren't integrated into the general look & feel of other contents of the conference.

How can we customize 'timetable' view in conferences? Does it require to modify any core files? Thanks.

I am looking into this also. The Timetable layout is created entirely in javascript. Check out indico/htdocs/js/indico/Timetable.
Perhaps someone could provide feedback if there are plans to provide a standard (xsl) layout for the timetable view, or some other changes that would help in this situation.

Dear all,

No plans to move the timetable to XSL, it is too complicated.

What you can do, from v0.98 on, is to create your own template and then modify the settings of the event from General Settings: Default Style. See more info here: ​http://indico.cern.ch/ihelp/html/UserGuide/Conferences.html#general-settings

In order to do a new TPL, it is quite easy:

1. add your basic TPL in: indico/MaKaC/webinterface/tpls/events/
2. add the CSS for that TPL in: indico/htdocs/css/events/
3. Go to: ​https://your.indico.domain.com/adminLayout.py/styles and add your new style.

Please, contact project-indico-administrators@… or join our jabber chat room if you need more help on this.

Cheers,
Jose
