dojox/Calendar: working hours may overlap 2 days

[Claude Guyomard]

Hello, Firstly, congratulations for the dojox.calendar package tools. This is a quiet impressive piece of work! I wanted to share with you the following notes : ViewBase?.js introduces 'minHours' and 'maxHours' properties to define the start and the end of something that looks like very much a working day. Because the 'active hours' concept is definitely useful, i would like to mention the case of recurrent nightly activities, those ones that start at the end of a day (ex. 22h00) and stop at the early hours of the next day (Ex.06h00). In such a case, the active hours are spread on 2 days. Or said differently, a day contains 2 partial intervals of active hours. Support to people who works during the night or those who works in the opposite time zone are potentiel use-case.

Regards,

Claude Guyomard

Hi, Thanks for using the dojox.calendar widgets.

I created a feature request on the dedicated website: ​https://github.com/damiengarbarino/dojo-calendar/issues/57

This won't be in dojo 1.9 (features are frozen), but it could be a candidate for 2.0.

Kind regards,

Damien

will be in 1.10 & 2.0.

Claude,

You can try a demo of the feature, by downloading the master (based on Dojo 1.9) on github (​https://github.com/damiengarbarino/dojo-calendar) and run the tests/columnviewOvernight.html sample.

Regards,

Damien
