Calendar view: more space for business hours

[blochwitz]

Hi Kevin,

in the calendar view the business hours (in our case 7am to 5pm) could be have more space as the hours outside.

we suggests the following options:

1. the hours outside the defined business hours are in a non viewable area (behind the header/footer of the calendar) or
2. they could be grouped like 12-6am and 5pm-12am

The calendar is not self-made and I don't have plans to "hack it".
But yu could research if there is support for something like this in: https://fullcalendar.io

[blochwitz]

Okay. The calendar is full customizable. how did you implement it in kimai2?

[kevinpapst]

Not sure what you mean, but this is the most important code:
https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/blob/master/templates/calendar/user.html.twig
https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/blob/master/src/Controller/CalendarController.php

[blochwitz]

Okay, thanks. i'll take a look inside the Controller...

[kevinpapst]

Cool!
Yes, there are a lot of improvements possible, but the calendar currently has not the highest priority on my list, so I could use some help :-)

I'm sorry but i have two more questions:
where can i find the JS-Library off FullCalendar and where did you defined app.user.getPreferenceValue('calendar.initial_view')

[kevinpapst]

I don't understand your questions:
Which JSLibrary: the original one in node_modules? the compiled version? Its GitHub URL?
The initial view can be set by the user in his preferences.

Hi Kevin,

let me explain what i have done:

In the file templates > calendar > user.html.twig i tried to change the function of calendar like it is explained at https://fullcalendar.io but it doesn't work so i asked me if you changed something in the JSLibrary of full calendar?

[kevinpapst]

No library is modified. The build process only takes all libraries and puts them together in one file.
Maybe a version problem: https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/blob/master/yarn.lock#L2549
Did you clear your cache after changing the template?

[kevinpapst]

The requested feature is not possible or at least not out of the box.
According to the docs and the screenshots, only business hour highlighting is possible:
https://fullcalendar.io/docs/v3/business-hours

[kevinpapst]

I was too quick and finally found a setting:

• https://fullcalendar.io/docs/minTime
• https://fullcalendar.io/docs/maxTime

I will make those configurable. BUT: if they are set the week and day view will NOT displayed if the complete record is outside this timeframe.

Example: you configure 08:00 - 18:00 as visible, then a record from 06:00 - 07:30 will not be shown.

I will make these settings configurable.

Best would be to provide system default values and allow to customize them via a user config. What do you think?

[blochwitz]

Hi Kevin, sounds great. Thanks for the investigation. A configurable setting in the user settings will be a good solution...

[kevinpapst]

Calendar update merged to master. Two new system-wide settings are available:

• hide weekends
• start and end time for visible hours (e.g. you can limit the visible time-range from 06:00 to 20:00)
