Hi Guys,

Can anyone suggest a good way of displaying a calendar of events?

My client has a large number of events.... about 6 per week. I guess I'd like to group them together in date format (this is how they are entered) but it get's quiet cluttered.

I was thinking there may be a way of grouping them into days, then listing for a weeks view, or next 10 days, or a months view etc.

ie.

This week:
- Monday
:: Event 1
:: Event 2
- Tuesday
:: Event 3
- Wednesday
- Thursday
:: Event 4
:: Event 5
:: Event 6
- ......

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Hi Tim

Thanks for posting!

There are a few options for you here. The easier ones would basically show you everything within a week from today. So if today was Wednesday, it would show you Wednesday to Wednesday. If you wanted to only show the current week regardless of what day it is (even if it's Thursday, you still see, Monday to Friday), it gets quite a bit more complicated.

Let me know if a single week from today onwards will work.

Thanks!

A single week would be fine Ross - thanks.

Any ideas on how to group the results so it displays;

Tues: 25 Jan
- Event 1
- Event 2
Wednesday: 26 Jan
- Event

etc. Rather than;

Tues: 25 Jan: Event 1
Tues: 25 Jan: Event 2
Wed: 36 Jane: Event 3...

Cheers,
Tim
