Sorry for what may be obvious question I’m still getting to grips with EE. I must say I love it so far.

We have an events calendar that’s up and running. Some events run over multiple days an example would be 26th - 28th September as seen here… and we would like this to be shown on the calendar. SO if the event runs over 4 days, 4 days would be highlighted. If a user then clicks a given date in the range it open the given article for that event.

Also, once you have clicked through to a given event (as per URL above) can I get the calendar to default to the given article’s month (September in this case).

Is it possible to do this with the standard calendar tags or do I need to look at finding a plugin?

Paul,

Were you able to find a solution to the above?  The site I’m building has the exact same need.

Consider this topic “bumped”.  smile

Any pointers would be helpful!

You’ll need the repEEt plugin.

Thanks, this seems to mostly solve my problem.  The only issue left is how to insert event times if they aren’t the same (think a Sunday matinee).

Perhaps I could include a text field with an array of times: “8:00 PM, 8:00 PM, 3:00 PM”, which I could then tokenize and loop over when outputting the dates somehow?  Can anyone think of an easier scheme than that?

EDIT: Ahh, it seems RepEEt also covers this case, investigating the docs further…
