Is there a way to stack events and not offset them ?

[stephenhauck]

We want to stack these and not offset them unless the times overlap ...

[lock-pay]

I am currently having the same problem with this package. My first guess would be to try and make it so that event are built with an end date 1 min or 1 second before the actual date. I don't know how to do that in the EventBuilder yet.

@Eretik33-176 that's not really a legit "fix"

[stephenhauck]

anyone ?

[stephenhauck]

OK will I did some digging and in the MergeEventArranger code seems to be where it decides if they overlap and simply having the same start and end time seems to be a reason to overlap so it slides them .....

[PRBaraiya]

@stephenhauck That is the default behavior of that arranger. We will add a flag in those arrangers to decide whether these kinds of events should stack or offset.

[PRBaraiya]

We will need that flags in MergeEventArranger and SideEventArranger.

When it's building the layout it throws errors if you use midnight as a start or end time too ...
I/flutter ( 9310): Failed to add event because of one of the given reasons:
I/flutter ( 9310): 1. Start time or end time might be null
I/flutter ( 9310): 2. endTime occurs before or at the same time as startTime.
I/flutter ( 9310): Event data:
I/flutter ( 9310): {date: 2023-10-11 23:00:00.000, startTime: 2023-10-11 23:00:00.000, endTime: 2023-10-12 00:00:00.000, event: Instance of 'CalendarItemInfo', title: 11 PM Appointment, description: , endDate: 2023-10-12 00:00:00.000}

Any suggestions on how to deal with that ?

[PRBaraiya]

@stephenhauck That's because for start and end time, event arrangers will not consider the date i.e, year, month and day. So, here, end time 00:00:00 occures before start time 23:00:00. That's why it's giving the error.

Please refer issue #293 for more updates.

As for the work around, you can set end time to, 2023-10-11 23:59:00.000

I'm here because I would like to reopen the issue.

As you can see on this screenshot, the events are arranged and all looks good.

But on this screenshot, where have a big (yellow) event on the left, the arranger does not work properly. I expect that the dark ones on the right are not offsetted

@ParthBaraiya @PRBaraiya Can we please reopen this and take a look?

[PRBaraiya]

@DonnyDevIT Not sure if this will work, but can you try providing eventArranger argument. Here is an example,

DayView(
    eventArranger: SideEventArranger(
        includeEdges: true,
    ),
);

[DonnyDevIT]

Hi @PRBaraiya No does not work, it works fine until I put the big yellow on the left, maybe something that package developers does not had in mind

[PRBaraiya]

Need to reproduce this issue with exact durations as above events.

[DonnyDevIT]

Ok, tell me if you work on something or need something

[DonnyDevIT]

Any news?

[DonnyDevIT]

Sorry, any updates? im getting some trouble :) @PRBaraiya

[PRBaraiya]

Hi @DonnyDevIT , I'm working on this and will update the code as soon as possible.

[DonnyDevIT]

Okay thanks! I will wait with no reply then :) @PRBaraiya

[ParthBaraiya]

Hi @DonnyDevIT I tried to replicate your scenario. Does below screenshot shows the output you are expecting? I tried to replicate the event data from the screen shot you shared.

@DonnyDevIT Please ignore the UI of the tile. I'm just trying to show the arrangement of the tiles.

[DonnyDevIT]

@ParthBaraiya Yes, your screenshot is right, should be like this
