Calendar views

As the name suggests, this view type presents the records in a calendar that can be viewed at different periods of time: per month, week, or day. A calendar view for the To-Do Tasks could look like this:

<record id="view_calendar_todo_task" model="ir.ui.view"> 
  <field name="model">todo.task</field> 
  <field name="arch" type="xml"> 
    <calendar date_start="date_deadline" color="user_id"> 
      <!-- Fields used for the display text --> 
      <field name="name" /> 
      <field name="stage_id" /> 
    </calendar> 
  </field> 
</record> 

The calendar attributes are:

• date_start is the field for the start date. Mandatory.
• date_end is the field for the end date. Optional.
• date_delay is the field with the duration of days, which can be used instead of date_end.
• all_day provides the name of a Boolean field that is to be used to signal full day events. In these events, the duration is ignored.
• color is the field used...
