User feedback is the primary driver for new and improved features in ICS Calendar, and here’s an example of that. While ICS Calendar was never envisioned as a tool for holiday rental vacancy calendars, it has definitely been taken up for that purpose, and I’ve been working steadily on improvements to that user experience. ICS…
ICS Calendar Pro version 4.9.3 is now available. This update fixes a couple of bugs in the “list” tab of Full view, including one very frustrating one that made list view nearly unusable on mobile devices. Since Full view is based on the FullCalendar.io open source templating system, we don’t have complete control over how…
Turns off most CSS styles for the Basic view (introduced in version 10.13), allowing for full customization with your own CSS.
Today marks the release of ICS Calendar version 10.12.1 and ICS Calendar Pro version 4.9.0. These are incremental updates, focused mainly on minor bug fixes and enhancements. The primary changes in both versions are: The combinemultiday parameter now works properly regardless of the site’s Week starts on setting. (It previously only labeled events spanning across…
It’s a new month! Strangely, as September got underway, I suddenly started to receive a number of support emails concerning a peculiar bug in the (relatively) new “Full” view in ICS Calendar Pro. People were finding that their calendar pages were coming up blank. Switching to “Month” or another view did not cause the same…

These updates are mostly focused on three things: General bug fixes and performance improvements Refactored jQuery to…
Visually combine multi-day events into a block spanning day cells in the calendar table.
ICS Calendar version 10.6 introduced a new feature that changed how and when the plugin’s JavaScript and CSS files get loaded, deferring loading to the end of the page (including the CSS), and only loading them on pages that actually include a calendar. It’s a good goal! Not loading extra assets on pages that don’t…
When ICS Calendar Pro version 4.0 rolled out at the end of December, it introduced the new Full view, based on the FullCalendar library. It was a huge new feature, but it was, necessarily, incomplete. In web development terms, we talk about a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It’s a good way of approaching a project…
