Topic: Get 1st day of month or 1st Monday of month in upper left corner

Hi Roel,

At present your calendar-script is already deployed at www.bruedergrimmschule.de.

The questions I got from the teachers-team relate to he monthly overview.

The 1st question is: would it be possible to initially let the month-calendar load with the 1st day of the actual month or the first Monday of the actual Month, located always in the upper-left corner of the calendar view?
This would significantly help to determine "at first glance" a correct view and interpretation of the visible events.

The 2nd question is: would it be possible in the nav-bar to skip forward and backward through the monthes,
where the 1st day / 1st Monday of each of the shown monthes will always be shown in the upper-left corner of the calendar view?

Regards, Lucas.

Hi Lucas,

Both are possible in the current calendar smile
Go to the admin's Settings page and in the section "Views" change "Weeks to show in Month view" to 0 or to 1. (Hover over the text "Weeks to show in Month view" for an explanation).
Now in Month view the calendar will always show one full month and with the left and right arrows at the top of the calendar you can skip to a previous or next month.

Hi Roel,

Thanks a lot. The settings you are mentioning, are already very useful.

Just curious and not urgent: would it be a big modification to get additionally the first day of the month always displayed in the left-upper corner, which would have as consequence that the "days of the week" in the upper row would have to shift left or right, depending on the actual month that is displayed?

Regards, Pierre

Hi Pierre / Lucas,

That's not easy.
The page would look rather strange, the weekends could fall in the middle of the screen and the location of the weekend on the screen would vary per month.

I doubt if this would be useful to other calendar users.
