Overlapping Calendar Occurrences

[chrismllr]

Any solution to handling multiple occurrences that start at the same time? Currently they overlap and are inaccessible.

Hey @chrismllr, we haven't implemented anything at this point, but since you can customize the inner block of the occurrence it is definitely doable. If you need some tips to get you started, feel free to ask!

Has anyone come up with any sort of solution for this? It's somewhat of a deal-breaker in my case.

@Arkham you mentioned that you'd be willing to offer some tips on how to get this done? Care to share? :)

@chrismllr did you ever find a solution to this?

Hi,
I started working on this in develop...makepanic:issues/20

It uses the algorithm explained in https://stackoverflow.com/a/11323909/2131168 and looks like this:

It currently requires a change in the occurence component to also be able to set left and width from the outside. I'm unsure if that's a good idea.
Could someone maybe point me to a better location on where to store the left and width information?

In the WIP, the position calculation is also outside of the addon. I'll fix that later.

thanks

@makepanic have you made any progress on this since July? Is there a maintainer interested in getting this functionality merged in?
