*first post* Sadly, the IRC timing's really lousy for folks in australia. ;-) So will I be excused if I stick in an email plug for catering for non-contiguous multi-day events? This is a particular requirement for some types of events; e.g. performances: essentially the same event repeated over several weeks but not necessarily on every day. http://home.it.net.au/~gmalcolm/?q=node/18872 I added an extra table event_days mysql> describe event_days; +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | nid | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | | date | int(10) | YES | | NULL | | +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ where there is a row for every date that nid (the event) occurs. Timezone isn't an issue with this example but you could probably just use event.tz offset if it were. It's not visible without a login, but I ended up opting for an utterly inaccessible js tool (http://www.calendarxp.net/tt_flat.shtml) for inputting dates rather than the couple of months' worth of check boxes I used to display. It's a hack and I'm yet to clean up day, week, month views to use occurences of date rather than start and end. If I was clever, and I'm not, I'd have modified the module to add a flag you can set (for each event?) to define whether it's repeating, multiday, non-contiguous.... anyway, I hope it gives someone some ideas.

Hey, folks!
At DrupalCon, there was a lot of discussion about where events are in Drupal and how they can be improved. I'd like to setup an IRC chat for us to try and hammer out how we can develop flexible APIs and where additional functionality is needed to make events in Drupal really shine.
More details can be found at the following post: http://drupal.org/node/52104
Hope to see you there!
