Hi Steve. Thanks for making the calendar!

I have installed it, but I think there is some bug in it.

If I add an even 7th february 18-20 for example and then add another even 7th march 18-20 - then only the february event shows in the calendar as an icon. If I add an event the 8th of march or 6th of march then it works as intended.

Perhaps you can point me to where I need to examine the code? Or make an update?

[Steve]

At the moment events are grouped by in the calendar view.

[litl_big_chickn]

The events (with same day in month) are not shown in the month view on the front page or when clicking on the calendar and seeing a month.
They are listed under the calendar, but no icon in the calendar matrix. I can add two or more and none will show. Except in the months event list under the calendar.

I looked inside the calendar view html but there looks like its not possible for it to "ignore" an event based on day. However, I am noobie at debugging php and html and sql.

[Steve]

It will be possible to do so in the next version, dates have start and end times that will span the calendar view, multiple events with be indicated via a coloured line... with titles etc

[litl_big_chickn]

That sounds terrific.

I cant show screenshots here - to show the problem?

I am not sure I communicated the problem clear enough...

I create event at 7th of February, small green icon appears on the day.
I create event at 7th of March, no small green icon appears on the day.
I create event at 8th of march, small green icon appears on the day.
I delete event at 7th of February - now small green icon appears on march 7th.

Hey, thanks got ya! Will be fixed in the next version.
