109476 - In month view, show events in adjacent months

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, enhancement, P3)

Description

[flacco002]

The month view usually shows a few days prior to and following the active month.
 Instead of showing empty date cells, it would be useful to show the events in
those days too.

This would be a nice feature.

You need to do a few things:
1. Figure out what day the first box is.
2. Figute out what day the last box is.
3. Send a request to the back end to get all the events for that range.  This
will return all the events, with a property of display date that will tell you
when they show up.
4. Figure out how to display them.
If you have questions, irc.mozilla.org #calendar or post them here.

OK, I can take this bug.
There were no fonction to easily send a request to the back end to get all the
events for the range of DISPLAY date.
So, I added a function that I called "getEventsDisplayForRange" because the 
name "getEventsForRange" were already used. 
If we compare the names used for the family of fonctions getEventsForMonth,
getEventsForWeek..., I think that It would be better if the old
function getEventsForRange were rename getRawEventsForRange, and the
new function were called getEventsForRange.
I prepared two patches:
- one for the file calendarEvent.js including this new function
- one for the file monthView.js with allows to show the events of 
adjacent months.

This file also correct a bug on the localization of the dots of repeating
events (when the day box is too small to display all events). All the dots
were located in the box of the first occurrence of a repeating event.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: Sunbird Only. Be afraid for your sanity!

not working in lightning 1.0 - when printing one month the first days of the following month are printed, however without the appointments of these days. either add the appointments or don't print the first days of the following month (I vote for the last - if I select e.g. december for printing then I expect a software to just print december).

This bug has quite some spiderwebs, I think we should track the issue in the new bug you opened. Thanks for looking into this one though!
