Multiday-event created as multiple events

[sozedk]

First of all - great work, this calendar really looks promising! Though I have some issues with multiday-events.

If I create an event link this;

{ "id": 1, "start": new Date(year, month, day + 1, 17), "end": new Date(year, month, day + 3, 9), "title": "Multiday Vacation" }

the event are drawn as three separate events in calendar, one from 1700 to 0000 day 1, one from 0000 to 0000 day 2 and one from 0000 to 0900 day 3. Moving or resizing the event only affect one day and not the event as a unit, so moving the event on day 4 two days forward splits the event in more different events.

I would expect the functionality to be like this;

• event-part on day 1 should only be movable, not resizable, and moving the event should affect the complete event not only what is visible on day 1
• event part on day 2 should not be movable nor resizable
• event-part on day 3 should only be resizable, not movable
• timespan-text on event should reflect the real start- and end times (and dates) and only event-part on day 1 should include time-div

Furthermore, dont know if it is a bug or a feature as it is now but in my context I see it as a bug, it could be great if marking a period for creating a new event was not limited to one day but could be done over a span of days. This would also make it possible to resize an event to take more or less days than originally.

Hi,

feel free to send a PR to fix it, if it fits the requirements it will definitely be merged :)

At the moment, unfortunately, I do not got the time to try to fix the issue - creating this issue was mostly meant to be a wishlist and give ideas for further development if, of course, the development of the calendar continues. If I get time to created fixes I will of course suggest these.

kila03, I think this project http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/ does what you require. A single event can span multiple days and acts like a single event when dragging.

That is a whole month calendar, but it can be configured to act like a week calendar by using the option:

defaultView: 'agendaWeek'

It does not have native disable overlap capability, but you could implement that yourself if required.

I have already seen and tested a bit on the arshaw.com calendar and it really has potential but there are still a few minor features; you cant mark a new period across days (e.g. monday 0800 to wednesday 1200), when resizing og moving a multiday-event the day/days not from the currently marked day temporary dissappears and you cant resize (only move) the beginning of an event. But I can see that I overlooked the fact, that is support jQueryUI theme so maybe it is worth a closer look.
