[PHPiCalendar-DEV] Week view.

[Chad <ch...@ch...>]

Lately I've been thinking how squished week view is. It might be more 
useful for those who use it to not have the sidebar on. It certainly 
could be an option, sidebar on/off. So how useful is the sidebar in 
week view. Would you miss it?

Thoughts?

I'm very pleased with the week view as is.  We're using it to schedule 
series of three-hour classes, so our events have plenty of room to 
expand vertically.  Having the sidebar there makes it all the more 
useful and descriptive, in my opinion.

On the other hand, I could see how someone with more brief events and 
todos might find the space to be somewhat constraining.  I suppose this 
is another good argument for templates, post-1.0...  :)

I think anything that adds flexibility to the display is welcome. I 
think the template system would (should) go a long way to resolving 
problems like this; the way I see it, templates need not handle the 
week/month/year calendar listings per se. More importantly, I think the 
template system should allow rearrangement of existing "boxes" on the 
page. For example, one thing that's irked me somewhat is the month 
view; the one-after-another list of events is at the *bottom* of the 
page, but it would be more useful for my users if it were at the top. 
If there were just a template variable for the different page elements, 
it would be so much easier. For example, you could turn on/off the 
sidebar on any page, or have it horizontal at the top or bottom of the 
page, or whatever.

Perhaps the template system that's being worked on addresses these 
issues?

In any event, I would definitely miss the sidebar in week view ;-)

I agree that the week view looks squished, but wouldn't want to get rid of
the sidebar, as I use the week view almost exclusively, and want to see my
to-do items.  I don't think there's anything wrong with adding a
customization feature, but maybe we should think of other ways to help
un-squish the week view.  What about allowing people to choose a screen
width?  I think it would be relatively simple to replace the appropriate
hard-coded widths with calculated widths.  On my screen, at least, there's
a lot of free space on either side of the calendar, so it could be widened
- though I know that many people have smaller screens, so we shouldn't
just unilaterally increase the size.

On a completely unrelated note, there's no year_on.gif in the red style,
and I altered some of the settings for the red stylesheet to make it more
distinct from the silver (and, I think, more attractive).  I could
probably make a year_on image fairly easily, though it might be even
easier for whoever made the original.  At any rate, how should I go about
either offering my changes to the red stylesheet, or submitting it as a
new style?

I have been working on updated styles, with 2 new images in silver 
style, I haven't looked into porting any over to the other styles yet, 
as I'm not finished with changed. I could be, but Im not sure right 
now. We usually take care of updating the styles when we update all the 
translations. Just one of the steps we take before doing a release. I 
can send you the psd for it if you like.
