Re: Repeating Events in EventCalendar

this depends on : http://www.mojoportal.com/ForumThreadView.aspx?thread=141&forumid=2&pageindex=3
(IMO)

this doesn't match the way you do i18n (in fact it's just hard coded) but here is a quick and dirty way to do repeating events in the Event Calendar.

Initially I wanted to use the same pretty calendar control with date and times built in, but then I decided it was more likely that events would be repeated on a day basis and that this method was much more straight forward. I also hoped that I could make the calendar control render a repeated event across multiple dates (i.e. no visual breaks), but I'm not sure that is possible since this inherits directly from regular calendar control.

Re: Repeating Events in EventCalendar

Yeah one day I'd like to have a calendar as feature rich as this one http://www.quickwebsoft.com/Demo/EventCalendar/EventCalendar_Demo1.aspx
I don't think I could build that by inheriting from the built in calendar

Someone else posted about multi day events a while back with this link. It would really be nice to have and one day I hope to get to that but first I need to focus on the core features still needed like Search which I'm working on now.

I might add your patch for a low fi approach for multi day events for now though. Can you send me that as an attachment to joe_audette at yahoo dot com and if you don't mind tell me in the email that I have permission to distribute any contributions you make under the same license as mojoPortal. I will list you on the credits page as well.

Cheers,

Joe

Ya, Lo-Fi is exactly how I would describe it

I've sent the attachment and the licensing grant. This was just an initial implementation so I can deploy this locally, I intend to somehow implement a Hi-Fi feature rich one similar to the one in your reply.

Anyway, THANKS! for the great framework

Re: Repeating Events in EventCalendar

Well if you do manage to implement something like that it would be great if you can make it available in mojoPortal.

If not I will undertake it myself later in the project.
