Hello! I have a use case in which I’d like to display an Eventcalendar timeline (type: day) between two specific moments in time, for example 18:00 on Friday until 03:30 on Sunday. Is this supported without also displaying the rest of Friday (00:00-18:00) and the rest of Sunday (03:30-23:59)?
The min and max parameters are set correctly. I’ve been able to use invalid to block the hours, but they still show up and take up ~half the timeline’s width, which is unfortunate. I can’t really use startTime+endTime in the view either, as they seem inverted. Hiding the columns using CSS makes time calculations go funny (no surprise there).
Hello @Peter_Beverloo 
Can you share more information about the use case where this custom view would be used?
Hi @Zsombor, many thanks for the quick response! Of course!
I’m envisioning this as a scheduling tool for an event that has activities on Friday evening, then activities all day Saturday, with a hard stop at 03:30am on (technically) Sunday. This is the crux: the Friday starts at 18:00, where the Saturday ends at 03:30am, not at midnight. There will be 50–60 resources in the timeline.
Current result (fictional names, but otherwise fully functional implementation):
(I need to split posts because I can only share one screenshot, sorry.)
Ideal result (with a bit of Photoshop magic):
You can see what a difference this would make to the timeline’s information density: in the current result there are 34 more hourly columns than in the ideal result, which only has 38 columns in total.
Thanks for the details @Peter_Beverloo 
I have a few more follow-up questions:
- is this a specific view that will always show these 34 hours on weekends (from Friday to Sunday)?
- what is the scheduling tool used for?
- what are the activities representing?
- are there any special requirements for handling events from this range?
Absolutely, no problem at all 
1 - This is one real world example, another view I’d love to enable is a “single day” view, which in my case would display 08:00–04:00.
2 - Scheduling ~700 hours of shifts to ~50 individuals over the course of an event, generally two or three days. This asks for a very high level of information density that I’ve found the timeline tool to (almost) be a perfect match for, bar the extra hours.
3 - Shifts, i.e. tasks. There are ~25 types, and the external drag and drop feature is a perfect fit for that too.
4 - No hard or technical requirements. There are some soft requirements such as “only attends introduction on Friday or Saturday, not both”, but there are many ways of addressing that.
I appreciate that this is somewhat abstract. I’d be happy to share concrete details with you if that’d be helpful, but would prefer to do so in a private forum.
