Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.As I am using the calendar views to manage bookings that are not allowed to overlap, I currently have to hack fullcalendar_view.js to add eventOverlap: false, as the default value is eventOverlap: true. This setting then stops event resize or drag and drop from clashing with an existing event.
It would be nice to standardise this functionality by adding a view setting with a checkbox field along the lines of 'alloweventOverlap' in Fullcalendardisplay.php which can then be passed into the drupalsettings via fullcalendar_view.theme.inc to be tested in fullcalendar_view.js. I have crudely tested this as proof of concept, but doubt that my code would stand up to expert scrutiny!
I have fixed the related issue of stopping event overlap on first creation or edit via the 'booking' form by writing a small additional custom module to validate the booking entry data AND set a booker-specific calendar colour (I only have a small number of bookers)
