I've never used the app, but from their website, they do support this kind of requirement: http://www.conventionist.com/features/ (click on "Event schedules"; the screenshot shows all talks for a given time slot) If that's not what you are referring to, I'd suggest asking whether they could add such a view on the event to their app: http://www.conventionist.com/contact/ It's much easier to enhance an existing app, than to write one from scratch - esp. if others can take of this for you ;-) Anyway, just a suggestion. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Apr 05 2011) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
