Display event in a cell that starts at midnight (night shifts) - fullcalendar

Good afternoon,
I´m developing a calendar using FullCalendar scheduler and my client needs to see night shifts of a date that starts beyond 00:00 of the next day. I already know that nextDayThreshold allows to display events that occurs between two days establishing a time end limit but FullCalendar displays an event in the next day when it starts at 00:00.
One solution could be to create non standard Event fields like realStart and realEnd to store real dates and using start and event standard fields for visual representation but it has many unwanted effects. Ideas please?

FullCalendar weekly event limit

Is there a way to specify the maximum number of events to be displayed in the same time slots in the weekly view (timeGridWeek)? What I am looking for is a solution similar to eventLimit and eventLimitClick; these specify the maximum number of events in a given day, and work perfectly fine for the monthly view.
Following a reply by ADyson, it turns out that the week timeline view does not work with eventLimit yet, meaning that all events will be rendered in the allocated timeslot rather than having a typical '+n more'. However there is already a an accepted feature request for this.

IFTTT - record timestamp (rather than time range) in Google Calendar

I created an IFTTT recipe that logs the time I arrive and leave work every day, but it always records it in 1hr blocks.
I'm using iPhone's location to track when I arrive and leave. Everything seems to be working, but calendar events are showing as 1hr blocks rather than just a timestamp.
For example, if I arrive at 8:05am it will show as a block on my calendar from 8:05 to 9:05 rather than just showing for one minute. I'd rather it just say "I arrived at work at 8:05". Thanks in advance!
Am I right in assuming you used the default "Track your work hours in Google Calendar" applet made by Google ?
It uses the Quick add event action to add this event to your calendar. Instead, create your own version of the applet that uses the Create a detailed event action. This allows you to set the following parameters (specifically, it includes Start time and End time):
You can set the start time and end time to the same value, but it will, of course, still read as an event that runs from e.g. 9:05 to 9:05.
If you want to record just a single timestamp, you will need to use a different service to store your data. Perhaps record the data in a Google spreadsheet ?
Any queries, post a comment and I'll get back to you.

Fullcalendar: start day at 8AM instead of midnight

We are use the Fullcalendar plugin for booking our events
Al lot of the events take place around midnight so often we see events starting at 22:00 and ending at 4:00. It is possible to insert these in Fullcalendar in the week view but it is a little tricky. It would make more sense to us to start the days at 8 in the morning and end at 8 in the morning so events will usually be visible in a single day.
I did not find this option in the documentation, so I would like to know if there is an existing implementation that does this job or else find a hint where I would start to enhance Fullcalendar to make this possible.
It is possible using the minTime and maxTime by setting them as the following.
minTime: "08:00:00",
maxTime: "32:00:00",
Here is a codepen showing this.
However it is quite buggy. If you try to put a small event into the time that would be the next day after 12PM, then the calendar does not really know what to do and the even will be be out of view. If the event is at least long enough to bring it to the next day past 8AM then it will be visible across both days. Due to the bugs with this method I would suggest using the calendar with its default minTime and maxTimes is the best approach.

fullcalendar is adding minutes to my start time

Has anyone using fullCalendar by Adam Shaw seen this before? The start time showing up in the calendar gets minutes added, however, when I click on the event and get the popup, I see the correct time.
For example, there are 3 events on different days and all of them have start time of 9:00a but when the calendar (weekly, daily or monthly) gets displayed, all times have 8 minutes added to them so it reads 9:08a
When I click on any of the events and I get the popup, the start time shows correctly 9:00a.
I have checked the database where these events are being read from and they are correct. Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Searching a range of events in a time graph

I'm trying to implement the graph from this blog post: http://blog.neo4j.org/2012/02/modeling-multilevel-index-in-neoj4.html
Inside the blogpost is a schematic of the graph and a query on how to find a range of events. However in my use case i don't have a set consecutive days. So for example the current state of the graph could be that i have day nodes from 12-7-2013 (12 july 2013) to 12-8-2013 (12 august 2013). Then when adding an event on 12-7-2014 i'm missing all the inbetween days for a whole year!
First problem is if i start to write queries that generate those days it might become very slow (application needs to be responsive). Second problem is i end up with days on which no event could be taken place, and so have unneeded data in my database.
So my question is: How can i get a range of events without using the NEXT relation between days?
