Weekly Calendar
-
This thread got very long and encompasses two different things:
- The request to make a weekly calendar view, which then turned into
- Another request for a plain (empty) monthly view as well.
The latter has been addressed, and is for all intents and purposes, ready. However, it no longer applies to the original post’s request. So I’m going to split this up into two separate threads. I’ll try to move the relevant posts around and clean things up a bit (if possible.)
Those of you wanting the Weekly Calendar, please continue the discussion here. Those of you wanting the Monthly Calendar, you can continue the discussion on the new thread.

Small update:
- Rewrote most of the module to use DOM elements instead of hard-coding HTML tags
- Added calendar symbols to events
This is captured on a landscape monitor. When I’m at work, that’s what I have to work with. Things get a bit squirrely on a portrait layout because of long titles. need to fit the CSS alignment on that.
-
Guess I can always fake a portrait screen. Proper alignment done.

@KirAsh4 That looks incredible!!
-
Thanks. Slowly working through it.Need to roll in those multi-day events … seeing some stuff from our work calendar that isn’t displaying correctly … yet. Just a matter of proper parsing and displaying …
-
Harder part is going to be adding time display to the events … or, an hourly view. Thinking of real estate again. How many arrays can I nest … :)
-
@KirAsh4 I’m really looking forward to this being released, it looks great and gives a better view than the default list.
Nice work, and thanks for putting the time in
-
Wow…Awesome work, that is pretty damn close to what I was envisioning…Thank you for your work

The issue with taking up most of the screen is … that it’s not easily done. There are several “regions” on the screen that are constrained to a specific size so they don’t overlap others. Even on my large vertical screen, I can’t display a full 24 hour list. I’m flirting with the idea of limiting it to 12 hours (say 7am to 7pm) but that’s still stuff to just play with. As I said, this isn’t anywhere near even a test phase.

Writing this code is not for the faint of heart. I will put out this warning: this may or may not result in the final piece. And the reason I say this is simply because of how difficult it is to deal with the various overlays. I may end up scrapping this idea completely and go for a different solution that may or may not end up looking similar. (Yes I’m aware that the time starts at midnight … the actual element takes up the whole screen, it’s been pushed down and ‘height restricted’.)
