Joe and Crew,

Not sure who is personally responsible for the Brick Journal Calendar

so I will post here, and hopefully it will get into the right hands.

I manage the calendar:-).


And before I get into this, let me first start of with a thank you for having a
central "Calendar of Events". It is a wonderful idea, useful for fans, and more
than likely a "chore" for someone to keep this updated.


It's all three:-)

I realize that "beggars should not be choosers"... but I am hoping you will
consider this idea, since all this work goes into this resource, I would like to
see it be a bit more user friendly.

Currently many days are filled with long running events or museum displays, and
that makes finding Fest dates or other AFOL centric events difficult.  Would it
be possible to colour code the listings, by type of event (for example, Fests in
red, museum shows in blue), or by geographical area, (by country perhaps)?

I had pushed for that functionality for me last year, and found out that the
calendar app wasn't that advanced at all..which really wasn't the answer I
wanted.

I really wanted country icons, but there was no provision for them.

Since you asked me this, though, I went back to the calendar and did some
hacking and found that I can change colors on the headline, so I can work this
out, at least.

If the font colours could be changed so it would be easier to read and sort
through it of course, would be way faster to skim thru the calendar and find
the particular events someone is interested in.


Okay, so what color scheme do you want - by type of event or country? Either
way, it will take a little time.


Joe

Thanks for your time,
Janey "Red Brick"

(...) If I may venture a suggestion: Make the colour scheme about the type of event and shorten the "location" field to the two-letter country code (ie: us, ca, uk, etc). The full address can be in the description field but it would not only make it (...) (16 years ago, 13-Mar-08, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal)
