Month select in mini-calendar

mlbrianr · Guest

One of my users reported some odd behavior in the minicalendar today.

If you're currently viewing March 31st, and click the right arrow on the minicalendar to go to the next month, you jump ahead to May 1st.

Similarly, if you have January 1st selected and click the right arrow, you end up on March 3rd.

I assume this is because Thyme is trying to preserve the date as you scroll through the months, but things get confusing when you're near the end of a month.

Also - can the arrows alongside the month name be moved out to the sides of the minicalendar so they stay in a constant location? Currently, they move around as the month name gets longer/shorter, making it hard to keep your mouse on the arrow as you scroll forward/backward. I'm using the "default" theme, if that makes any difference.

Thanks..

Hi mlbrianr,

The minicalendar behavior is a a known bug to be fixed in 1.3. This should be out in a few weeks. The good news is, after today, you will not see it again as by the time it gets past the 28th of a month, 1.3 will be out. You are exactly right, this is because Thyme tries to preserve the day. If it's the 31st of the month and you navigate to a month that does not have 31 days, it will think you're trying to go to the month after.

I'll put the arrows on the edges of the calendar in the nav calendar for 1.3 as well. The theme has no control over this.

Excellent. I will look forward to version 1.3.

Thanks for your quick response and your work developing this quality piece of software.
