Drupal agenda extension request (description)

Easy agenda navigation

Let's take an example ...
The MIT collaboration meeting agenda is available at http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/conference/timetable/talk/14427

This is the full agenda with all the days. Typically, each day are organized as talk/$ID/$day for example,the first day is http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/conference/timetable/talk/14427/1 while the second is http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/conference/timetable/talk/14427/2 etc ... The pattern is hence by design predictable.

THe request is to add:

  • At the top, it would be good to have a quick navigation "day 1", "day 2" etc... which if clicked on, would be jumping to a NAME tag within the full agenda page.
  • Second, if one goes to a day page let's say "day 2" http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/conference/timetable/talk/14427/2
    it would be good to have a navigation  on top such as "next day" "prev day".

The general idea is that on a given day, one may want to focus with the day agenda ... but eventually, one would like to jump to the next day (or previous) without having to go back to the full agenda then locate the next day, then select the next day.

A day navigation ("a la Google") could be added i.e. having a [ 1 2 3   next>] and view like [ <prev 1 _2_ 3  next> ].

Finally, from all views such as


... it would be good have the menu [files] [abstract] [detailed] and [printer friendly]  additional jump (although printer friendlymay be an optional navigation item).

Printer friendly feature

It would be good to have a printer friendly feature (as any other nodes) which would simply display the agenda without the side navigation menus (and none of the "add talks", "add session" clickable boxes). General layout,coloring would follow the normal agenda'sexpectations.
