kar3n2 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm sure I'm on totally different wave-length to the calendar. To me single day event and all day event mean exactly the same. However the single day event you can add time of start and end. ie starts 9 am ends 6pm, which makes pefect sense. All day event you cannot. I presume that means its starts at 12.00 am till 12.00 pm ie 24 hrs???? makes no sense to me.. end of ... why have all day event??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Single day is a one-off event like a party. All day means all day like a holiday, Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilihead Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Well it doesn't have to be a holiday. All day event is just to mark a day without a time. Maybe the anniversary of your website. Maybe releasing a new feature. Maybe... anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Personally I wouldn't alter any code, it's how most event calendars work, you may remove it and then someone asks how to add an all day event, or it may just be handy if they don't know the times yet.

Nathan Explosion Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Simply put...... A single event has a specific start time, and a possible end time (if no end time is chosen, then the end of the day...ie midnight...is the presumed end) It blocks out that time period. An all day event is a full 24 hours on a day - starts at midnight, ends 24 hours later at midnight. Blocks out the whole day. Why have an all day event? Because you might be organising an event that lasts 24 hours from midnight to midnight. If you don't have a need for it, then don't use it.

Because you might be organising an event that lasts 24 hours from midnight to midnight. Or simply to not show the times prominently. I set all my events (conferences, workshops …) to All Day. The start and end times are in the description or on external sites, when people actually want to register for that event. Until then, the times are more distracting than useful and by choosing All Day they won’t show up in the event widgets or event header area.
