Hi-

I would like to associate start and end times with events selected as "all day" when adding an event.  That is, when a user selects "all day", I want it to mean and show on the calendar as 8am to 5 pm.

It appears to me that event scheduling is handled in "Event.inc".   In there is a subroutine, sub scheduleEvent which appears to be the place to modify.

Can anyone tell me specifically how I modify that subroutine to associate my fixed times.  Will the date be picked up?

Or if I am off base and there is somewhere else to do this, I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Thank you very much,
David

You mean tell you exactly the code to use?

Not me but it looks like the event times are handled here:

code:

   # If coming in using 12-hr format, switch to 24-hour internally
   if (($schedule->{'start_time_ampm'} eq "am") && ($schedule->{'start_time_hh'} == 12)) {
      $schedule->{'start_time_hh'} = 0;
      }
   elsif (($schedule->{'start_time_ampm'} eq "pm") && ($schedule->{'start_time_hh'} < 12)) {
      $schedule->{'start_time_hh'} += 12;
      }
   if (($schedule->{'end_time_ampm'} eq "am") && ($schedule->{'end_time_hh'}== 12)) {
      $schedule->{'end_time_hh'} = 0;
      }
   elsif (($schedule->{'end_time_ampm'} eq "pm") && ($schedule->{'end_time_hh'} < 12)) {
      $schedule->{'end_time_hh'} += 12;
      }
   

You'd likely have to design a conditional to fill those values manually if an all day event was posted and then also change the value of the $schedule->{'all_day'} variable 0 (zero).

Some pseudo code which could go after the code snippet above might look something like:

if ( $schedule->{'all_day'} )
~ set the times here ~
$schedule->{'start_time_hh'} = 9;
$schedule->{'end_time_hh'} = 17;
~ set "all day" to 0 ~
$schedule->{'all_day'} = 0
end if

You'd probably have to do something with the minutes as well:

$schedule->{'start_time_mm'}
$schedule->{'end_time_mm'}

JFYI
