Upcomming events

    Hi,
    the Calendar is great and i like it a lot. Unfortunately the Upcomming event list is a dealbreaker. For multi day events you get to see the same event every day instead of a simple list of upcomming events. It’s the same event, we only need to see it once. I have to show 3 events happening in the next 90 days, each event is ~20-30 day long – you can imagine how long the list gets.

    Please consider adding a checkbox like: “Show long events only once”. Ideally you would show start and end day in the list. Adding this would make the plugin extremly flexible and also usable for those who manage multi-day events.

    Thank you and keep up the great work.

    The upcoming list behaviour has historically always worked that way. The new Upcoming Events Columns display will show the multi-day events only once as you describe. That might be more to your liking.

    It has already been released in version 3.9.0. You can view a demo at https://spiffycalendar.spiffyplugins.ca/event-columns/

    Guess i didn’t understand the first time you mentioned the Columns. Columns are nice but if you need a simple list in a sidebar you can’t use them.

    I just need a simple list of all the events with links, to show an overview of the next few months in 1 tight column. The “old” list would be exactly what i need if it would not repeat the same event 20 times.

    I know i could strip and style the column layout to get a minimal look but it would be nice if you consider “fixing” the simple list view when multi-day events have to be displayed.

    Thank you for your time,

    I will consider adding the option in the future, but don’t plan on making any updates until next year.

    In the meantime, it is fairly simple to modify the columns to display in a list by adding CSS to set their width to 100%.

    Happy you consider it, because this calendar is great.

    Meantime i spent the last hour styling and it turns out really nice.
    but…
    now i inserted a few more events and find that the Columns only display 3 events (no limit set) while the calendar displays them all.
    Is this a limitation of the core plugin?

    Edit: sorry, it was the limit in options.
    Thank you!
