Event Settings

Default Event Duration

The default event time duration for fieldtype, in minutes. When event Start Time is selected, this number of minutes will automatically be added to that time for End Time field.

Time Interval

The time picker interval for fieldtype, in minutes. The Start Time and End Time field time pickers will contain a list of times of the day by this interval.

Select 'All Day' by default?

When enabled, when creating new events the 'All Day' option will be selected by default.

Date Overlap Threshold

Specify the amount of hours in the next day which are still considered as those of the previous day. This prevents late night events from showing up the next day for calendars in control panel and front end.

Console Commands

If you need to resave all Calendar events, you can do so with the following CLI command: ./craft calendar/events/resave. Most of the arguments available to Craft's resave/entries command are available here too, so if you need to also update the Craft Search Index, be sure to add --update-search-index.

php craft calendar/events/resave --update-search-index
