Weekly Calendar
-
@KirAsh4 I think the monthly compact view is an excellent addition to the default calendar. It looks great and it integrates well with the default design and layout.
The running week would still be a great thing to have across perhaps the bottom of a vertical mirror so that people can see what days they have to work in a given week, or other quick-glance information.
-
@idkmynameiskyle, yep, though again, I look at the amount of information one could possibly have on any given day and how to format things neatly and visible.
As an example, if I look at my Google calendar and pick one week (this week), this is what it looks like:
Notice the
'+7 more'line that I pointed out. I can’t see those in a standard weekly view. I have to either click on the link there, which trigers a pop-up with the remaining items, or switch to a daily view to see it all.Again, this is me personally. Your calendar may not be as crazy populated as mine (and I even turned OFF two others for this.) But I have to think of the possibility that someone might have multiple events in one day, specially in a family setting where everyone is doing their own thing.

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
