 * when i see the original calendar i can see all events and all dates correctly
 * but when i go to a specific category i use
 *  <?php echo EM_Calendar::output(array(‘full’=>1, ‘category’ => $categoria ));?
   >
 * in the category-simple.php template file
 * but it only shows the initial date on the calendar even when the event covers
   all week and when i see the source code it says “eventless”
 * i am missing something in the args??

 * Sure
 * $categoria i read it with a $_GET[‘event_categories’] because we need to only
   output the events in that specific category (you can see the parameter in the
   second image)
 * this is the default which works ok it should have all categories

 * and here´s the second one, you can see the reds are the same events, but it only
   shows the start date of each event

 * Have you checked that $categoria is returning the value you think it is and not
   something different?

 * yes it returns correctly the dates in that category,

 * are the events which shows the initial/start date only are spanning events and
   are they working if you assigned them to another category?
