Show opening hours in a different format

Question

Show opening hours in a different format

watson opened this issue 8 years ago · comments

Opening hours was recently added to the entries, but as the last column on the table. Some places have the same opening hours each week which makes it easy to add to a table, but some (like the one just added in #30) have 6 different times per week.

I'd suggest either making linebreaks for each diffrent time or moving it outside the table.

What do you guys think?

I agree to this 👍 I had commented on the PR that we might/should take that direction it if starts looking messy

Having a separate time table and a link to an always updated timetable (because they change through the year), for example to the place website, google place page, foursquare, zomato, etc, would be the better solution, otherwise we might create falsy expectations

@diasdavid Yeah, I'm pretty worried that it's tough to keep up to date. On the other hand, some places don't advertise anything them selfs, so it's nice to have in those cases.

I think we should also agree on a format. I suggest:

3 letter abbreviations for days with first letter uppercase (e.g. Mon instead of Monday)
24 hour clock (i.e. no am or pm)
Colons between hours and minutes (e.g. 13:00 instead of 13.00)
Weekday ranges shown with a hyphen without spaces around (e.g. Mon-Sat instead of Mon - Sat)
Hour ranges shown with a hyphen without spaces around (e.g. 9:30-18:00 instead of 9:00 - 18:00)

agreed, and I would prefer a 2xRow 7xColumn layer, to avoid making the scrolling incredibly large, what about:

Sun | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat
:--: | :--: | :--: | :--: | :--: | :--: | :--: | 
9:00-14:00 | 9:00-18:00 | 9:00-19:00 | 9:00-20:00 | 10:00-13:00 | 9:00-16:00 | 9:00-14:00 |

EDIT: saw your edit after I've refreshed, continue agree with everything, on 4) I believe we can gain a bit of having a column for each day, because it will make it easier if someone wants to parse this data

@watson thoughts on latest proposal? Shall we proceed? :)

Being non-american I'd personally like Monday to be the first day of the week 😉 - ISO 8601 agrees, but I'm open to suggestions.

Testing different formats:

Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu-Fri	Sat	Sun
9:00-14:00	9:00-18:00	9:00-19:00	9:00-20:00	10:00-13:00	closed


Mon	9:00-19:00
Tue	9:00-20:00
Wed	10:00-13:00
Thu	9:00-16:00
Fri-Sat	9:00-14:00
Sun	closed

Mon: 9:00-19:00
Tue: 9:00-20:00
Wed: 10:00-13:00
Thu: 9:00-16:00
Fri-Sat: 9:00-14:00
Sun: closed

Mon:      9:00-19:00
Tue:      9:00-20:00
Wed:     10:00-13:00
Thu:      9:00-16:00
Fri-Sat:  9:00-14:00
Sun:          closed

Mon: 9:00-19:00, Tue: 9:00-20:00, Wed: 10:00-13:00, Thu: 9:00-16:00, Fri-Sat: 9:00-14:00, Sun: closed

I like the one inside '`', takes less space.

Let's go with ISO 8601

@diasdavid the code comment version you mean?

Thomas Watson · Answer 10 · Fri Jan 15 2016 04:45:17 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@diasdavid It's a tiny bit taller though than the horizontal table, only if a lot of they days have different opening hours. I think most of the opening hours will only be 2-3 lines in which case the code comment is gonna be smallest
