Lars,
Unfortunately we don’t always update our snippets to be compatible with the latest versions. It sounds like you have a very specific reason behind wanting this, so I would suggest that you submit your idea on UserVoice for possible inclusion a future version of the plugin.Unfortunately that’s the only other help/advice I can offer you on this one. Sorry I can’t do more here.

But Casey, have you spend just a minute on our site to see for yourself that it’s not possible to navigate it properly with everything scrolling up/down? Can you tell us how to remove/hide the 1AM – 8AM hours then? There must be a way to stop this inner scrolling thing? This is NOT a customization – this your users trying to get a decent result out of your plugin. We already had plenty of visitors complaining about this. Please advice.
Lars,
When I view your calendar, I’m seeing that everything is working how week view is intended to work (screenshot).Since you’re wanting it to work differently, I would definitely categorize that as a customization. I did briefly look at trying to hide the 1am-8am hours using some CSS, but this causes issues with the Javascript that’s displaying the events.
Again, I really wish I could do more here, but my hands are tied as this is not a simple fix. Sorry!
Yes, it looks as YOU believe it is intended to work but have to tried this:
Another great problem this lack of usability causes is when using the Filters Bar you are likely to click. i.e. “Organizers” and select something and then scroll down (with two fingers on any Mac Track Pad) to immediately see the results. But the moment the cursor arrow hits the calendar area the scrolling stops as it now wants to scroll within the calendar but can’t. Scrolling upwards then with two fingers only results in all nighttime hours being revealed to much confusion. There’s is no logic to this and it is utterly pointless that any user will have to scroll outside the calendar area to make this work.
As already explained: As we have an 8AM – 12AM “Time Frame” for our events we have expanded the height of the calendar in order to reveal hidden events after 4PM (the meaningless default Tribe setup). This however doesn’t leave us with any possibility to hide “nighttime hours” (1AM – 8AM) which reveals when accidentally scrolling upwards within the calendar. This is both confusing and meaningless as there are no events during the night (!?!). So why is not possible to either lock the scroll function or set an optional “time frame” for the range of hours we want for our calendar?
This is getting ridiculous! We pointing out so many obvious faults, misbehavings and UX problems regarding your plugin and you blankly avoid that anything is wrong. We cannot cue up in your UserVoice system and hope that one day this will be fixed. We launched our site with great expectations using your plugin – carefully selected among many – but so far we had so many complaints from our visitors. IE 6, 7, 8, 9 problems, Filters Bar not working on iPhone, and this blody scrolling issue that frustrates people and make them unable to navigate in a proper manner.
What can we do to solve this? Who should we consult this with if not you?
If there’s a snippet for this scrolling issue then obviously it has been a problem before? So it’s an even bigger problem now – especially when the snippet no longer works with 3.5. So this needs fixing!
Whatever is making the inner area of the calendar scrollable must be possible to set to “non-scrollable” with a simple edit or code line in a core file (or even with snippet).
Then we can easily hide the scrollbars etc. with CSS … as we already wrote 97 lines of CSS just make ECP look somewhat presentable.
Lars,
As I have stated, and @barry stated here, there’s not much more we can do to help you with this issue, since you want week view to behave differently than it was intended to.As such I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread, but please feel free to create a new thread if you have other issues. Thanks! 🙂
