EBMS Tickets

Only all-day events appear on the daily and weekly calendar views. The problem is a known (but ignored) bug which was reported back in October. I set up a fresh Drupal 7 docker container to reproduce the bug, confirming that it’s still present with the latest dev versions of both the calendar and date modules. If they’re really walking away from all of the outstanding bugs for the calendar module, as the maintenance team seem to be saying (there are 92 open issues), then I don’t see that I’ll have much choice other than to hack the module (the bug is in JavaScript which dynamically kills the visibility for the date/time cells and leaves it that way, so this isn’t something I could address with custom css). At least we’ll only have to maintain the hack until we get off of Drupal 7. Bugs like this one reinforce my inclination to implement our own calendar functionality (assuming we use Drupal 9 for the EBMS rewrite), building on supported JavaScript libraries, rather than leave ourselves at the mercy of modules (date/calendar) which have a horrible support history (the modules’ creator, Karen Stevenson, silently walked away from the modules one day without any warning and left them unsupported for years).
