Weekly Calendar
-
It would be great to have an actual calendar view, like perhaps a weekly calendar with Sunday-Saturday and boxes with events that are planned on those days. It would make it much easier to see a week’s work schedule at a glance versus just a list of upcoming events. I have no experience with any of this, but maybe someone who does also thinks this is a good idea :D thanks

@idkmynameiskyle, could you give me an example, even if it’s a sketch on a cocktail napkin? I get the idea of a weekly calendar, but I’m not quite understanding what you are trying to convey with the boxes and such.
A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

@KirAsh4 He is probably thinking about a grid layout like that:
We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

I too would also like something similar. I am looking to create a kitchen based family organization board. Something with a family calendar.
I think that might be what the previous post was talking about. I was just going to use something like Sunrise calendar in a web page, but they are shutting down in August. -
@paviro, yeah that’s hard to fit on 1/3rd of the screen. That’s better suited for a middle layout, taking over the screen’s entire width essentially. Not impossible, just another way of displaying things. This would probably be better as a completely separate module, as opposed to being part of the current Calendar one.

@KirAsh4 I agree; I think something alone the bottom of the screen would be perfect
-
@KirAsh4 Definitely! Maybe the calendar module could be used to parse it and then send a notification this module could receive?
-
@paviro, maybe, but to be honest, I’d rather keep them separate, that way one does not need to have both of them enabled. Pick one or the other basically, and have them function completely separate from one another. If both are selected, display a message instead, telling the user to pick one …
-
@KirAsh4 makes sense :)
-
This is the idea of what I was looking to design…
-
Right, that’s using the main real estate in the screen, as opposed to what the current module is set at by default, which is 1/3 of the upper screen essentially. It’s possible for sure. Need to spend some time on this … but after the remodel at my house is done.
-
No worries…I liked the Magic Mirror approach, but for a family of 5 with many appointments, we wanted a central calendar that could be view-able from afar.
-
Oh for sure. That would be a good way to display everyone’s events for the week. Unless you go with the custom profiles setup… though I haven’t followed that thread closely, I’m not sure it’s functioning yet, or correctly.
-
@KirAsh4 Definitely looking for a single profile for now, I have a google calendar that I share for everyone in the family, only problem is, the web version of google calendar is hideous for such a nice display.
-
That can be changed with an iframe and setting your own CSS formatting. But, that’s the easy way out. :)
-
And so the mayhem commences … Next up is parsing the data returned and populating the specific boxes. Don’t no one remind me how much I detest Javascript, mkay?
-
That looks great, I wouldn’t have known where to begin.
-
The problem I see with this is that you won’t knew whether you have something on the upcoming Sunday till it actually changes to the next week. I need to figure out something there.
-
@KirAsh4 not knowing how the API works, would it be easier to populate an entire month view? That way picking the week wouldn’t be an issue.
