Show only first day with Multi-day event

[Jessica]

Hi,

I want to create a recurring camp event every week in the summer but I dont want to show it starting every day of the week because it only starts on monday. What would be the best way to achieve this so people still know its a week long event without it showing the name of the camp on every day of the week.

Thanks,
J

Howdy J,

Good question. To do it the “proper” way where you see the one event stretch over all the days is actually very difficult to do. It will require an in-depth modification of the calendar. Probably 10-20 hours of work for someone with a intimate knowledge of our API. <span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>Which is why you should vote on this feature request. That request would make an event look like this:</span>

But if you are looking for something a little more hacky, you might be able to get a good solution. You could set the event to start time on Monday and the Event time to match each other. This will cause the event to be treated as having no end time in our various views so it will only be showed on Monday. From there you could add an Additoinal Field called “End  Time” and specify the en time in there as text. That way when people click on the event, which only appear on monday, they will see in the text that it actually spans through Friday.

Does that all make sense? Does that answer your question?

Cheers!
