It still doesn’t solve the problem.

In that case, I should have real data to inspect.

I have two views in one scene and need some layout/styling help. One row view shows the next 7 days and a column should show as many events as possible from 8 days onwards (a preview). For more precise placement, I created my own regions and added them to the index.html template.

The next-7-days daily view is at the bottom of the screen and behaves nicely. The preview column is in the center of the screen and regrettably runs over the next-7-days view.

In a daily column view, how can I skip days without events?

Which style element do I need to modify in custom.css to have the column content to stop at precise coordinates and not spill over other modules?

I tried limiting the region either with a bottom-margin or height value, both do not apply.

Here’s the style that doesn’t work

.region .preview {
    border: 1px #831e4d solid;
    position: absolute;
    left: 480px;
    width: 400px;
    top: 390px;
    height: 550px;
}

1. Give your view className to control more precisely.
   For example,

{
  title: "Remove Empty Slot",
  name: "DailyView",
  mode: "daily",
  calendars: [],
  position:"top_left",
  hideOverflow: false,
  slotCount: 7,
  className: "remove_empty_slot"
},

Then modify your css/custom.css

.CX2 .remove_empty_slot .eventCount_0 {
  display:none;
}

@Sean That works nicely for skipping days without events, thanks.

What can I do about the overlap of the content. I can’t limit the view height in the config file or in the class style.

@mmmmh
can u tell me more details? even picture would be a help to understand your expect.

@Sean You know, I was just wondering how to get rid of empty days. Thanks!

Here’s an example (I disabled other modules).

You can set hideOverflow:true and slotMaxHeight:100px. If your view has 5 slots(with column type), The height of the view will be (100 + @) * 5. @ would be some additional elements like some margins or title area. Anyway, with this calculation, you can adjust and estimate the height of the view somehow.
Or you can put this 2 view in same position(bottom_bar?), in that case, the views will be stacked not overlapped. The order will be what you ordered in configuration.

Or, just use another position like bottom_bar and top_right.

@Sean
Thanks for the constructive help. I was already using different positions. Stacking within the same position doesn’t really work:

Slot limiting (and two different positions) seems to be (closer to) what I want to accomplish:

Another workaround would probably be to work with separate instances of the module.
