Overlapping time slots are not supported in the cod_session schedule Views display right now. For example, create a time slot from 13:00 to 14:30 and put an accepted session into it. Then create a time slot from 13:00 to 14:00 and put an accepted session into it. On the schedule view you'll see the 13:00-14:00 session and not the 1.5 hour session.

Captain_Intern actually found this and we were talking about it in #drupal-cod

The trouble is rendering this sort of thing using HTML tables, especially since there exists a consideration to accommodate sessions in multiple adjacent rooms by spanning room columns.

My sense is that we should support more complex features like this through a system like http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/, which has a Drupal integration module. In fact, some folks are working on drag & drop integration at #906112: handle drag and drop: creating events, rescheduling events.

The limitation of fullcalendar is rowspans.... time slots tend to require vertical visual spans that overlap multiple time periods (rows) -- colspans that fullcalendar offers are chiefly horizontal, right? Views Calendar might provide insight into how to render these from the data / view that we're using for Sessions. (I wish I were more of a programmer, I'd chip in on this some.)

Maybe we can find some sort of jQuery solution w/ progressive enhancement?

Since November, I took over the Fullcalendar module, and it's seen great improvement. I'd love to help COD switch to using it, and will accept any and all feature requests.

The solution may be here with fullCalendar.

Thanks to @Tim.Plunkett for showing this to me.

Heh, double the comments.

We looked at FullCalendar, and often push the idea of collaboration over duplication, but making FullCalendar work in the workflow of scheduling items looked to be more work than making a Views plugin. Whether we can move to FullCalendar is something we can discuss and research how it'd work.

To add to that, we like that *both* modules use the shared foundation of Date module, which is widely used: http://drupal.org/project/usage/date
