[Openfc-development] guess, too few arguments and a fix (was: looping and more)

this sounds really strange. but there are no seconds 
in there. do take care of those, because timetable 
layout is seconds accurate, and if you are changing 
times through dropdown menus, you mustnt forget to 
watch for seconds

[eg, i could imagine a process of having two programs 
a bit apart on the timetable and in order to snap them 
together, changing the start time of second one to the 
end time of previous and forgetting to see, that the 
previous one is long 14min 15sec (starting at 13:00 
for example). setting the estart time of second one to 
13:14min would of course produce and overlapping error 
because the seconds are by default at 00.] - for 
tediousness of this process we made a snapping 
function which automatically snaps the begin-time to 
end-time of previous prog if it's in the range of 
900seconds (15min) after the end of any program in the 
timetable, as defined in conf.php with

$default[snaptolerance] = "900";


plus, i hope you are working on clean timetables, 
because as long as those little <1.5min program 
problems aren't resolved, you should do that. not that 
i'm doubting in your testing methods of course :))

this is a bit confusing. how long were the programs? i 
guess what you are trying to say is that it didn't cut 
it... or?

fixed. in cvs. now "back" is underlined and returns 
you back. however, if the page is not cached (which 
probably isn't, hopefully :) you have to set times again.



love, luka
