Feature request - Display of multi-day events #1027

Open exponentcms opened 4 years ago

exponentcms commented 4 years ago

Would be nice if the calendar/events module handled multi-day events better. E.g., you have a 7 day event which now appears as 7 individual events in all but the 'default' view.

should only apply to recurring 'daily' type events because other recurrences have a 'gap' between occurrences
in a perfect world this would also display on the 'default' calendar as a long bar single event vs individual daily events
may require an additional field in either the event or eventdate table
might translate to better support in event registration module which now simply holds an 'end date' for text display purposes, but otherwise not used.

(from [1355cef4792f562d49312a0d57a06fd41432885c]) For lists of events (upcoming events) we now don't repeat recurring events (php v5.3+) [#983 state:resolved] https://github.com/exponentcms/exponent-cms/commit/1355cef4792f562d49312a0d57a06fd41432885c

More robust implementation with start/end date, start/end time (possibly per day) and excluding dates within the range.

Need to differentiate between a daily recurring event and a multi-day event, if there is a difference (on Google there is)

Note: this work is taking place outside the 'develop' branch but should be integrated before 2.2.3 is released. currently working well, but needing some cleanup.

We'll also need to update some of the other code such as:

ical() feed
maybe implement similar thing in event registrations
must check other views to ensure we display correct 'to' info and haven't broken anything

Coding was delayed due to the upgrade to the FullCalendar 2.0 plugin which changes the api dramatically, but has since now been released
