I'm trying to figure out an issue with how the Event Calendar works. I have it pointed to a feed for US Holidays, but the holiday (for instance Labor Day) shows across two days:

When I import the individual ICS file into a calendar like iCal it shows just fine, but in the Event Calendar module it shows it across two days. When I click on the actual day (September 7th) it doesn't show . . . but it shows on the day before. The date definition shows a day for a holiday to be: day before 12:00 AM - day of 12:00 AM. Is this wrong? Or does Event Calendar show it wrong?

That's a very much untested area of the module. Anything you want to contribute to make it better would be very valuable. Not many people have expressed interest in using it, so it's just kind of been collecting dust.

Out of curiosity, what is the ICS output for that date?

Your ICS is showing a different start/end date (sept 6 - 7), so it's actually displaying correctly in your calendar.

Yea, that's kind of odd . . . when I exported that date and brought it into iCal on the Mac it showed only on one day, but looking at the specs for the begin/end dates in the ICS specs, it is doing exactly as it should. I'm trying to find a way to add in holidays or other events without typing them all in on the calendar. I think I may need another ICS file with correct date ranges perhaps.

Ideally, it would say 2010-09-06 with an "all day" flag checked. But I'm not sure if the EventCalendar parser will accept that.
