p4a Calendar view confusing for Long events

[Dylan Jay]

Hi,

p4a.plonecaledar is great and provides some really nice views. However
we've hit a limitation and we're wondering if anyone has found a
solution?

If you have an event that spans many months the standard calendar list
view shows the event only in the month it starts with no indication
that this event runs longer than that month. A nice way to solve this
would be repeat the event in each month it occurs, or perhaps include
the end date.
It would also be really nice that if you've filtered events to just
show what's current, you just start the list at todays date.

No, multi-day events are not really supported at the moment, and they
are very hard to support with the current catalog architecture of
Plone.

The question was purely about the upcoming or list view of events. The one that looks like below. As you can see there is no way to know that the May 27 events runs in June too. You can see it's not really a catalog bug, purely a UI bug.

It's not a bug at all. Multi-day events isn't supported. If you want
to implement it, go ahead. :-)

Dylan, the related events functionality available via the category may be of help to you, if they are interested in and view the event in question they would see it continues through that method.
 
On an unrelated note we are organising a small event (around 4,000 people) in June and are going to work on a method to have the calendar views show a selected month/week/day as the event is still several months away and the calendar only reflects the current month/week/day.

If somebody has already done this can they let me know so I do not re-invent the wheel.

Peace
