Add 4-Weeks view

[citronalco]

Shows the current week at the top, followed by the next 3 weeks, like in Google Calendar
only german translations included

This is the owncloud 7 version of owncloud/calendar#378

I still think we should remove month if we add 4-week

Yes, I agree. @citronalco can you remove the month view? The 4-weeks-view is better and makes the month view obsolete.

@citronalco also, please don’t commit any translation changes in the l10n folder. Translations are fully handled via Transifex.

Testing this it seems that without having continuous scrolling #360 there is an inherent problem here: When switching to months before or after, it’s also set to 4 weeks - no month overview or specific start and end date.

This really needs to be combined with continuous scrolling before we should merge it, let alone replace the month view with it.

@citronalco did you look at the comments? Can you make the changes? :) You’re also very welcome in our IRC channel #owncloud-calendar

Hey, would it be acceptable to let the user actually selects how many days/weeks she/he wants to be displayed (Google Calendar-like: 2 Days, 3 Days, 4 Days, 5 Days, 6 Days, 7 Days, 2 Weeks, 3 Weeks, 4 Weeks). Not needed to go that far maybe (days) but 1 day + 1,2,3 weeks + 1 month is a good idea, isn't it ?

edit: it seems @citronalco left the conversation - I am interested in "taking over" this PR to go on with his work, can I go ahead ?

It would be to complex to let the user select what exact view they want. Having options like google with 2 Days, 3 Days, 4 Days, 5 Days, 6 Days, 7 Days, etc ... is completely exorbitant.

We want to keep it simple and make users happy with good defaults.

Reason why I said "not needed to go that far". It would be my first contribution to owncloud so I haven't dig too much into it yet. Would it be possible to create a dropdown list instead of the "Month" button and leave it to the user to select 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks or 4 weeks ? Is it still too much ?
I'd love to have 3 weeks view.

Why would you need 2 or 3 weeks?
What's the use case?

[georgehrke]

My point is: We won't add a 3 weeks view just for the sake of having a 3 weeks view. There has to be a use case that benefits a remarkable share of our users.

[dynek]

Well I'm being very selfish probably but I do use 3 weeks view since a long time on Google Calendar and find it very readable based on the number of entries I have daily. It's a good compromise between readability and being able to move items forward in the agenda.

Forget it - I'll apply the modification on my installation.
