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.

  • 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.
    Beaut iMac G5 2Ghz + G4 400 AGP upgraded to G4 1000 that bombs all the time   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    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.

  • Easy way to enter multi-day events in Calendar 7.0 (Mavericks)?

    I need to create a bunch of multi-day events in Calendar (7.0 under Mavericks)
    I think that I had discovered an easy way to do this under Mountain Lion -- double click on the day in Month view, type the name of the event, then type a date range, and hey! Presto!! Calendar created the multi-day event without my having to move the cursor and click to select start and end days in the little calendars.
    I can't make that work w/ Calendar 7.0 under Mavericks -- has this changed?  I've tried all variations of dates that I can think of - just the numerals for the days (13-19); numerals for month & days (7/13-7/19); including the year (7/13/14-7/19/2014); month names instead of numerals; with and without spaces around the hyphens..
    I had Mountain Lion for only a couple of weeks on a new computer before I upgraded to Mavericks, so I don't remember exactly what I'd done in Calendar to enter all the info after double-clicking on a day & have the multi-day entry be created automagically
    Thanks for any help
    (I'm tying to find any reasons for keeping on using Calendar. I've used iCal for 10+ years to organize myself and my household, but I'm having a REALLY hard time w/ Calendar 7.0 under Mavericks -- no lines between days in month view makes it really hard to tell at a glance which events are on which days, especially if there are a lot of mult-day events; time for timed events after the event in smaller & pale gray letters is hard to see; little colored dots next to events are almost impossible to tell which color so which calendar an event belongs to (I have 11 Calendars); ...)

    Tyrone,
    The week view affords some of the capability that you are looking for.
    Experiment with these suggestions:
    1. Select the week view.
    2. Choose the number of days that you want to display by selecting (Option +  + 1), (Option +  + 2), (Option +  + 3)...and so forth for the number of days desired for a week display of 1/2/3/4/5/6/7 days. Make sure the mini calendar window is displayed and you will see the number of gray days change accordingly.
    3. Create a new item on Wednesday (Double click on the start point) and drag to your desired length, and if the event falls over the weekend change the display length as indicated in step 2 above, and drag the event to the end time.
    Let me know if you get the hang of what I am trying to describe. It is easier to accomplish than it is to describe.
    ;~)

  • Latest Organizer update in the Blackberry Desktop Software does not sync Outlook 'all day events' in Calendar properly

    On my Blackberry Torch 9810:
    When syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007 for an 'all day event' in Calendar, Outlook stores the appointment as from 12:00am to 12:00am so Blackberry Organizer thinks it is an appointment for 2 days rather than one.
    So for example if you make an 'all day event' entry for Feb 25 in Outlook, Blackberry Organizer syncs it on the device as an "all day event" on Feb 25 and Feb 26.  Very annoying indeed!
    Technically Outlook should store it as 12:00am to 11:59pm for a one day
    event.    But since they don't, I hope Blackberry will fix Desktop Organizer
    Software to cope with this issue and send out a new update!
    Does anyone know anything about this?

    I was getting a similar problem... birthday and anniversary and some other all-day events (but not all!) in Outlook were being set to either 1pm-1pm or 2pm-to-2pm, from the day before to the day of the actual event.  e.g. my New Years Day event was being set as starting 31 Dec 1pm and ending 1 Jan 1pm.  The 2pm vs 1pm difference seemed to correlate to the times of the year without/with daylight savings.
    Presumably I'm seeing 1pm or 2pm and not 12am-12am due to my own time zone (GMT +10).
    I made the change recommended by Bifocals and it has fixed this problem.  However, I did need to -manually- go through and change all the events in Outlook back to be proper all day events - that did not happen automatically.
    For those (like I was) wondering how to set the "the corresponding options on the Blackberry"... you open the Blackberry Calendar, then hit the application button, then scroll to Options then General Options.  The Start of Day and End of Day settings are what need to match Outlook.  FYI, I have a Bold 9000 and am using Outlook 2007.
    I'm really hoping that when I next upgrade my Blackberry software that it retains this setting change.  I find it really annoying that some (or all?) other settings (e.g. Mobile Network: Data Services & While Roaming) are reset to defaults on every software upgrade, meaning I have to remember what I set and to go back and set them again after an upgrade.  Grrrrr.....

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Duplicate all-day events on calendar

    I noticed that on my iPod Touch calendar, all of my all-day events go on for two days. For example, a person's birthday is showing up as going from Dec. 1-Dec. 2. On my computer's iCal, all of my all-day events look normal. What could be causing this?

    I've had this happen to some of my all day events also. Somehow the events end up going from 11pm to 11pm (instead of 12am to 12am) and thus they span two days.
    I'm still not entirely sure what has caused this. I've also had some of these events (these are mostly recurring events, like birthdays) that have ended up on a different day entirely - June 6 instead of October 31, for instance. In those cases the Recurring Event props got changed from a specific date to 'third Wednesday' or some such.
    I have had to edit manually in Outlook -- if they say 11pm to 11pm, change it to 12am instead. And check the recurring props to be sure they are correct.
    You might also want to check your location settings. I have sort of wondered if this has to do with location as I had it set to Indianapolis (which only started observing DST last year - maybe that isn't factored into the software yet?) and wondered if that is what messed things up, since all day events did shift by 1 hour. I have location set to New York now but can't prove that fixed anything -- I found a few more events messed up today, but then just now remembered to check World Clock, and it was still set to Indy. <shrug>

  • Delete all-day events in calendar

    Hi,
    The iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone syncs all-day events and now I have hundreds of duplications appearing. Is there a quick way to delete all the repeated entries. It takes forever to do it manually.
    Many thanks,
    Trond

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Using the Day view in Calendar, how do I turn off the list of events?

    In Snow Leopard, the events were shown by the hour, as they are now in Lion on the far right (when in Day view). However, also in Day is a repeat of all the same events, but in word-list order. That appears in the middle of the interface if you are showing calendars, or on the left if you have hidden the calendars. I want to turn that redundant list of events off in Day view and just have the classic view from Snow Leopard. Anyone know how? Thanks!

    Click on your name, then Preferences on the right side navigation, then Email Notification Preferences.
    I also suggest posting in the corresponding forum as well https://discussions.apple.com/community/using_apple_support_communities
