Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] Fwd: phpicalendar Forums Contact Us Form - Viewing multiple-day events in one long bar

[Wesley M. <we...@we...>]

Hi Jim,

It's been a long time since I looked at the code base, but I think the  
issue is events are rendered as discrete elements, and that includes  
multi-day events. The current Calendar abstraction would need to be  
used differently so you didn't try rendering each day's events  
independently, I think. And to actually make it look good, you'd have  
to switch over to CSS instead of using tables.

Not a minor change, in my opinion.

Later,
Wes
