I really like your extensions and appreciate your work, but I have to say that it was nice times when I had to install only one extension to have working calendar. Anyway, here is feedback for this one:

1. I use Firefox and on top of the tab with calendar I can see only "Forum title - " It looks like there is missing "calendar" or month name or something like it.
2. I really like the name of event on every row when event is longer than 1 week.
3. If there is more events in the same date (in my case it's 6 or 7 events) it:
   1. hides top of the cells (so dates and day names are invisible). This is problem in older Firefox 55.
   2. makes all cells rows higher, even rows where there is not any event. I don't know if it's issue or not (I just reporting it and it's maybe nicer have it this way than have different heights of rows).
4. I would like to have "this week row" on board index.

EDIT: 3a. doesn't appear to be problem in IE, Chrome or Opera

It is not really clear to me. Do you have a screenshot of that?

2. I really like the name of event on every row when event is longer than 1 week.

Ok. So this is not an issue. You simply state you like the current rendering?

3. If there is more events in the same date (in my case it's 6 or 7 events) it:

1. hides top of the cells (so dates and day names are invisible). This is problem in older Firefox 55.
2. makes all cells rows higher, even rows where there is not any event. I don't know if it's issue or not (I just reporting it and it's maybe nicer have it this way than have different heights of rows).

a. Do you have a screenshot of that?
b. It is intended that all days stretch equally in height.

4. I would like to have "this week row" on board index.

There will be another extension in the future which adds that functionality. (This was also mentioned here).

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I like the current rendering.

Also, you can see that graphic view of events starts on the left border of day cells. I think it would be nicer if there is little space between beginning of event and left frame of day cell. But this isn't big issue.

Great, already looking forward to it.

Yes, probably the solution here will be to add flex-basis: auto; to div.evrow-head and div.evrow-foot in the stylesheet. I can't test it though, as I have not Firefox 55.

Well, that's maybe a matter of taste. That's why you can apply your own style-sheet (the Extra Style extension will be adapted for this in the future). I use the full width because the text gets cropped for short events and the overlapping borders don't bother me.

Thank you, but it didn't help. But don't worry I think there is no too many FF 55 users.

As I wrote it is not too big issue. I'm still testing your calendar on testing board with default prosilver. On my main board I use different style (also full width) and I will have to adjust it anyway.

Version 0.2.1 fixes the "title issue" as reported by leschek (1). "Calendar" is added to the title.

Strange it seems to appear only in the first week. Did you clear the browser cache or purge the phpBB cache after you edited the file?

Yes, I purged phpBB cache and cleared browser cache too.

Update version 0.5.0

• phpBB version requirement jumps from 3.2.1 to 3.2.5
• This version uses the new version of the Menu Items (0.4.0) extension so that a menu links can be ordered by a priority number. See screenshot below. You should update the Menu Items extension too.

[martti]

Oops, a reply by mistake.

[martti]

Version 0.6.0 is out and corrects two things:

• The moon phase was off by one day due to a wrong conversion from PHP Julian Day Count to the Julian Date.
• The drop-down menus from the navigation bar are not longer disappearing under the calendar events.
