If you browse through the recant changes you have no doubt seen me working on a new system to make the schedule pages. It is now fully functional, and can be readily tested. You will see no difference when looking at the schedule pages, this is purely a backend change. The main point was to reduce the number of templates it takes to build the schedules pages. In the current system we have 28 templates, that are all very similar. This new system I present to you for testing gets rid of the data duplication and lowers the number of templates down to 7. To reiterate, for the average user/viewer there will be no perceivable change to the schedule pages. This is solely to clean up the backend, which will make life for those of us who edit the templates MUCH easier. (There will no longer be a need to copy changes to 28 templates.)

To test this simply go to any schedule page, such as Schedule for August 2009 (that one in particular because it will show the extra text for the weekend) and change {{calander}} with {{calandertest}}.

If anyone finds any bugs or anything I overlooked let me know here. Otherwise I do not envision any problems with changing the calendar system to this new system.

Check.svg Done I made the change to the calendar template, and marked the old templates for deletion.
