Hide whole modules from timetable

[yangshun]

Received a PM via NUSMods FB page:

Hey NUSMods, thanks for doing the timetable for us. A feedback i have is to make a 'hide' function for modules placed on the calendar. This will help to reduce clutter when we are trying to see the various combinations our timetable can become. I have like 10mods on the timetable cause those are what im thinking of and its becoming more difficult to see. Hope this helps!

We may implement this by setting the classes's group number to -1 in the url params. Something like:

...&CS4231[LEC]=-1&...

Then for any classes that has group number -1 we hide them.

Btw if we are gonna do this I think we should allow users to choose whether to hide everything of the module, or just one or more classes of it. For example, keeping only 1 tutorial while hiding lectures and other classes can be very useful for TAs.

Sad, I set a lecture to -1 and it disappeared. Have to delete and re-add the module :(

But sounds like a plan.

Of course we will have an option to re-display them :expressionless:

[xinan]

This sounds more useful, how about doing this tmr instead?

[yangshun]

@_@ discuss again. Either way we should get our code merged one day, don't want it to go to waste :X

@ngzhian if you are interested you can try this (:

Let's do this in v3 alpha instead? Might be a good reason to entice ppl to try/test v3 :)

[yangshun]

Oh yes I mean do this in v3 not v2. We shouldn't be adding features to v2 anymore (:
