Multiple day events

I exported an .ics event from my work calendar and e-mailed it to my Mac at home.
It was a vacation starting on Fri 12/18/2009 at 6:30 (when I start my work day), and ending on Mon 12/21/2009 at 3:00.
My wife and I share our iCal via our .mac account, and she called me to say I needed Monday off as well - it showed up on her calendar as a Friday vacation only. Opening the event showed the correct time. A solution was to change it to full day events - now it showed as 4 days instead of as one day glancing on the month's calendar.
Is there a set-up we have wrong, or is this just the way iCal displays multiple day events that aren't marked as full day events? (I hope it's the former, as it is not a good design at all).

Use multiple day event in Calendar region

I am using a Calendar region in my application. One issue i have run into is, some of my events are multiple-day events, such as a conference. The calendar application does not seem to be able to deal with multiple-day events. It takes one date as the date. There doesn't seem to be any way of dealing with multiple day events. In my case, I have 2 date fields in my table associated with my calendar - a starting date, and an ending date.
Has anyone found a way to deal with this situation? I don't want to have a separate entry for each date of the event. I'd like to be able to use my start date, and ending date fields.
Thanks,
John

Scott,
I took the SQL you used in your trigger and substituted my table names and fields. I am getting 3 errors. Here is what my code looks like after the substitutions (my table names are 'meetings_tbl' and 'meetings_tbl_cal'):
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ai_meetings
AFTER UPDATE OR INSERT ON meetings_tbl
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
l_date_diff NUMBER;
BEGIN
IF UPDATING THEN
DELETE FROM meetings_tbl_cal WHERE m_id = meetings_tbl.m_id;
END IF;
l_date_diff := meetings_tbl.meeting_end - meetings_tbl.meeting_start;
FOR x IN 0..l_date_diff
LOOP
INSERT INTO meetings_tbl_cal
(m_id, meeting_date)
VALUES
(meetings_tbl.m_id, TO_DATE(meetings_tbl.meeting_start + x));
END LOOP;
END;
I am getting 3 errors:
1) PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "MEETINGS_TBL"."M_ID": invalid identifier
2) PLS-00357: Table,View Or Sequence reference 'MEETINGS_TBL.MEETING_END' not allowed in this context
3) PL/SQL: ORA-00984: column not allowed here
Maybe I'm not supposed to substitute ':NEW' with 'MEETINGS_TBL' ??
Thanks for your help!

International travel and multiple-day events with time zones

I can't see how I can set an international travel easily as one event, e.g. from 2010-01-11 20:30:00+11:00 to 2010-01-11 07:10-10:00. I can set both as in one Time Zone, but that is not what I want. I want to set as my itinerary from a travel agent says, e.g. the start and end in different Time Zones. Although I can enter the departure and arrival as two events, that is not what I want to do. The air travel is one event, not two.
Also, I often want to set schedules for multiple-day international meetings using the local time of the meetings while my iCal is still in my own Time Zone, but this is not possible. As soon as I select All Day in a new event, the Time Zone option disappears. Of course, I can change my iCal Preferences to use the target Time Zone (instead of my local one) and then set the meeting schedule, but this is not what I want to do. I want to be able to select a different Time Zone for multiple-day events while I am in my own Time Zone.
These are rather common problems in any internatioanl businesses I suspect. It would be really handy to tie iCal with travel itinerary applications. If this is possible, I also would be able to get the information directly from travel agents in iCal format and it is a great potential for developing such applications.
Does anyone know whether these are possible in iCal or whether Apple may be working on it?
I also can't find a Feature Request for Apple, to ask about it. Does anyone know where to find it?
Thanks.

I just didn't get the context here. Do you want to display multiple rows within one Outlook calendar event? If yes, I think it's impossible.
Please reattach the sample which will be very helpful for others to understand your requirement, then possibly provide a solution.

ICal multiple day event issues

If I enter an event which covers more than one day and set the start and end dates to the corresponding dates it only works on my iPhone. The iPad and iCal only show the event on the day it begins. Whereas the iPhone shows it across all of the days starting from the first date and ending on the end date. Surely this is the way it should be shown in iCal and iPad calendar also? If not you could have a multiple day event and only think it is forgone day and double book your diary?

Hi,
Timed events (as opposed to all day ones) only show on the first day in Month view in iCal. They show in Week and Day views for all the days they span.
This has been the way iCal operates for several versions (if not from the beginning) and if you look here you'll find many comments about it.

How do I mark up multiple day events like school holidays?

I would like to mark up school holidays to help with planning family holidays.
Other than marking each day individually how can it be done?
I actually would need 2 school calendars as my boys go to 2 different schools and the holidays are different.
I imagine a user would need to mark up multiple day events like conventions or business trips similarly.
If it were my physical diary I would color the whole day background both on the day and on the year/month layout to block them out and make them clearly distinguishable in whatever view.
I have subscribed to the Australian Holidays calendar but it is incomplete. Major holidays such as the Easter break, Labor Day, Bank Holidays and Queen's Birthday etc are not included. In fact, except for Christmas, Australia Day and Anzac Day it did not have much at all.
If Apple needs an accurate set of Australian & NZ holiday calenders broken down into States & NZ regions, I am happy to assist. The information is available in the front of every diary sold here.

If you have other all-day events, there will be a separate pane for them at the top of the calendar in week view. Control-click in this area on the first day, choose New Event, then drag the right edge of the new event over as many days as you need.

Multiple day events showing on month view

Hi, Anyone know how to make events that span multiple days show up on the monthly view? In week view it will color all of the days, on monthly it is only listing it on the first day of the event. The only way I've gotten it to go across is if it is listed as an "all day event", but then the start and stop times dont show.
Thanks for the help!

You either need to use the "All Day Event" option or make copies of each invididual event.
E.g., if you are at a 3 day convention and each day the program is from 8 am to 3 pm, first create a single event that has those start/stop times. Then manually copy that event for the other 2 days. Each event will show up in month view (and you could probably change the event name to "Day 1", "Day 2" etc.).
FWIW, I would just use the "All Day Event" option for those kind of events.

One multiple day event won't show in month view

I have noticed that every time I launch iCal an event (checked for all day event) beginning 9/1 and ending 9/4 will not show up in the month view until I open that day (and it's there) click it and then it will show up as a banner event. If I close iCal it goes away.
I have other all day events spanning multiple days that don't appear and vanish.
Any ideas what can be causing this? I don't want to schedule something way in advance and then forget it's there because it's vanishing.
Thanks.

Hi David,
The way this is implemented by iCal is a choice of the developer. You can send comments about iCal to Apple through this page http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ .
Alternatively, you could make the events into all day events. They would then show on all the dates in month view.

Outlook Calendar: Multiple day events with different details on different days

Hello!
I produce trade shows and I am trying to use outlook calendar and sharepoint as a place for my company to access a calendar for all the events we produce. However, I want to be able to distinguish what is happening that particular day (move-in, the
days we build the show; open, the days the show is open; move-out, the days we dismantle the event)
For example:
Widget Expo
Move-in: 1/5 - 1/6
Open: 1/7 - 1/9
Move-out: 1/10
I know that I can easily create three different events for the above, which, in theory is fine... but we produce many shows so I want the event line to be continuous in outlook as it would be if I simply entered "Widget Expo start date 1/5 end date
1/10".
Additionally, this fails because we have many events overlapping the dates and the data becomes visually disjointed and hard to read.
I am not particularly concerned with start or stop times vs. all day events. My priority is to see about entering an event like the one above with a subset of info on each day.
For example
Widget Expo: 1/5 - 1/10
1/5: move-in
1/6: move-in
1/7: open
1/8: open
1/9: open
I've attached a sample.
The top section (Events 1, 2 and 3) is how Outlook will function as I know it today, you can see how it is challenging... (alternately I could do one day at a time but that gets even more cumbersome).
The bottom section (Events A, B and C) is how I would like Outlook to function and how, I really, really, hope that someone will be able to instruct me on.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

ICal monthly overview multiple day event

Hey community,
i already searched google and here but didn´t find any answers solving the problem.
In the monthly overview an event which is ongoing for more than a day but is not a whole day event. The monthly overview shows it only the starting day.
One possibility is to create whoel day appointments, but in the end if i have to leave at 16:00 ongoing until two days later 10:00 it makes no sence to block 3 whole days.
The weekly overview shows it correctly. I´ll appreciate even an app which i´ll can use but didn´t find so far.
thanks br

Entering multiple days event

Hello all.
I have a 3-day event coming up and would like to enter it into the Calendar iPhone app, but I can't figure out how to enter all 3 days at once without having to retype each day. The event starts at 8am until 4pm from April 1 to April 3, and I don't want to set it so it reads "from 4/1 8am to 4/3 4pm" because that means my night time events during those days would have conflicted schedule. And the "repeat" function doesn't help because I can't define it to repeat for "3 days only".
Any comments are appreciated. Thank you.

Hey thanks for the tips... works for me!!
I just hope the "repeat every day" part can be more explanatory... Never knew the "end repeat" option is hidden under "at repeat..." option...
Thanks again!

Multiple Day Event Booking

I am attempting to help an arts council I belong to with adding the ability to book their classes to the site. I can see how to do this with the event module and adding the days into the description, but is it possible to have it automatically link the dates to their calendar. Normally I would just write a php script to do this but as they are using the BC system I don't see that as a possibility.
Any suggestions or is it not possible with this platform?

Is this only happening in March?

Multiple All Day Events Missing in Week View

Hello,
I just got my first BB a Curve 8900 and am very impressed.
The only thing I don't like is that if I have more than one all day event on a particular day, in Week View I can't see them.
(I've used a variety of other phones/PDAs over the years and this is not normally an issue)
I've googled this and haven't found much relating to it, other than people not seeing all day events on the home screen or something.
Is this a BB 'feature'? Is there a work around?
I'd like to be able to see my week ahead at a glance and don't seem to be able to.
Thanks in advance.

Hello RobertBL,
I have the same problem. In week view i only see 1 event on days with multiple day events. I use firmware version 4.6.1.152 (platform 4.2.0.91). My Curve 8900 is T-Mobile branded (Netherlands). Until now i haven't found a work around. In other calendars (pocket informant and Agendus) i don't have this problem in weekview, so it must be a BB firmware bug.

Why doesn't the calendar carry the event title over multiple days?

When creating a multiple-day event, the calendar does not carry the title over all of the days in the event. In IOS6, this worked, but with the new IOS7, it does not. Has anyone else had this problem?

Apple did design it that way.... Spotlight search will find calendar entries. See P. 195 of the User Guide... http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

All-Day events showing up in Weekly view but not Monthly view

Okay, so I have about 80 All-Day events that I am setting up. They are not recurring events but all will be multiple day events. I am setting all events up to have two alarms, one alarm being a cut off date specific to that event and the other alarm corresponding to a group meeting date prior to each event.
Since about 95% of these All-Day events will occur on the weekends, I will have several different All-Day events on each weekend. What it happening is that when viewed by month, I am not seeing all of the All-Day events but when viewed by Week, all All-Day events are there and editable.
I thought it might be a result of space constraints so I deleted events on days where I had several simultaneous events and that did not allow "hidden" events in month view to become visible.
Anyone have any suggestions?

One more thing, it prints just fine in Month View. Bizarre.

When I get an ICS from Outlook that is a multi-day event it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS.

When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)
