Topic: game scheduling module

I would really like to add a simple tool to help schedulde games between players. The idea would be as follow.

On the same page: First you pick a few dates where you know you'll be available. Then you select when you'll be available at these day. Then you are proposed a selection of other player ready on those dates. And you can go and mp them.

You can of course revisit the page later and it will automatically update the players available if needed.

I have a few questions though:

• Any remark in regard to the concept?
• Where in the menu should I add this option? How should it be named? "Schedule a match"?
• Am I allowed to add some dependency for the date picker?
• Should i create a whole new module or should I just add on file in the global template folder?

Well, this page can also do the job, and more things: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/

Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked

Thanks for the informations!

I have some ideas for the menu, especially for a responsive template (showing the page in regard to smaller viewports like smartphones or tablets). But this is far away...

Oh yeah that would be a great idea, I saw that in the bug report. I think it could be done very easily by using some dependencies, like bootstrap, but those are heavy...

AFAIK django has also some sort of date picker.

Neat, I'll look into that!

In general third party dependencies have always the trouble of maintaining them (e.g. updating).

Yes, I understand, to avoid that, is there a place where I should list the dependencies used and the link for the update?

Oh yes, I use a similar tool pretty often IRL.

The main difference I'm proposing here is that you don't need to know the player before knowing if they are available or not. It's easier to check as everything would be on the same website. Also I think it would become laborious when a lot of player and a lot of date are available. It seems this tools is better for setting one date with a few people you know rather than many dates with many people you don't know. But I never use this specific tool so I might be wrong.

Mostly those date picker are javascript things which are loaded on demand from external sites. The dependencies i was talking about are all listed in the pip_requirements.txt. I am not sure what your talking about until you say what dependency you want to use

So the main functionnalities are doing ok. The design still need some work .

Now for the database and view.py steps. I have a question about that. It's not really something I'm used to do. What the best way to store the informations:

I create a disponilities column in the user table or I create a disponibilities table which reference the id of a user? I guess the most ressources will be used when searching for other players and their avaibilities. So I think the best option is the second. But maybe I'm mistaken?
