Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Multiday event support in OpenACS Calendar Application

Posted by Dave Bauer on
Hey you are right! I was not paying attention.

The data model clearly supports this, but the form does not.

I am not sure how that would affect the display of items on the calendar either.

Has anyone else every needed this feature?

Hi Dave
Now you got me :)

One more observation. With existing design, it is not possible to add an event which starts at 11.00 P.M. today and ends after 1 hour (which means @ 12.00 A.M. of next day).I tried doing this but got an error saying "end time is before start time " But i feel this is a valid event and user should be allowed to add such an event
When i explored , i found the root cause of this error in "dates_valid_p" API. As we don't change the end_date to be the next date, the API fails. This is also one of the reasons which needs addition of end_date in "add-item" form

Could you please suggest solution to this which would do the insertion and displaying part of multiday events

I have one solution for multiday event support but that needs changes in existing data model

Thanks and Regards,
Poonam
