Hi,

I want to customize the calendar to be able to specify a date range with a start time on Day 1 and an end time on Day five. Is it possible?

Example -- resource borrowed beginning on day 1 at 5:00 pm, returned on day 5 at 11:00 AM. Using no overlap, resource is not available from Day 1 (5 pm) to day 5(11 AM)

Thanks

You can already schedule an event to span a date range without the need for any customization.

** beginning on day 1 at 5:00 pm, returned on day 5 at 11:00 AM **

The calendar's validation routine will not allow a user to enter an end time which is before the start time (regardless if it is on a different date or not). That particular check can however be bypassed by editing the TimeValidations.js file (found in the administration template directory) and change the following line:

if ( tmp_start_time > tmp_end_time ) {

to

if ( 0 ) {

    I have no idea what would happen to the event if a user happened to add one with an earlier end time on the same date.

JFYI

Is is possible to create a form that will take a range and mark it as one event on the calendar as follows?

Day 1 (pickup time to midnight)
days 2-4 (all day)
day 5 (12:01 AM to return time)

This way, it avoids the dilemma of reverse start / end times.

the form would be more like

Pickup Day / time 1
Pickup Day / time2

Any new form you create would require new form validation in order to prevent mistakes from being made. That would make the job more complicated (but not impossible) to accomplish.
