By Selecting Date, Change VIew

[heideldesign]

Is there a way to change the view when selecting a date?

The objective is to start from the default view. Then, select a date from the Calendar prompt in the filter bar. Once a date is selected, the page refreshes. On refresh, we would like the View to change from the current view to the Day view.

The goal is to not have the calendar date be a “start on” but to only show the events happening on the selected day.

Thanks in advance.

Hey there, @heideldesign!

I do think this would be possible, but it would require a level of custom development that I’m afraid we are unable to support here in the forums. That said, I’m happy to help point you in the right direction, if I can. We also have a list of freelancers who we would happily recommend for this level of help.

Cheers!

Thanks, Geoff – Instead of changing the view type, is there a way to simply change the Calendar select behavior to only show events that occur on the selected date and not also events that occur in the future?

While changing the view would be nice, the primary goal is to not have the calendar date be a “start on” but to only show the events happening on the selected day.

Hey there and thanks for following up!

Yes, that would be the Day View option. For example, you could make Day View your default view and that will only show events on the current date. Then, when another date is selected, only events from those dates will be shown.

Does that help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

OK – so it sounds like we have to go with the custom development route. Can you point me in the right direction to automatically change the view when selecting a date?

Hi @heideldesign,

While I haven’t seen this exact same customization before, I was able to find this snippet. It provides a method for switching the default calendar view for categories to List View. So, for example, if the default view of the calendar is set to Month View, let’s say, then this snippet will override that so that anytime a category is being displayed, that will display the events in List instead of Month.

Like I said, this is not quite what you’re looking for, but I think it might be a nice blueprint for you to work with in addition to our documentation.

Sorry for not having a concrete solution for you here, but I do hope this at least helps get the ball rolling in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions to help you get started and I’d be happy to help as best I can.

Thanks and hope you had a great weekend!

Geoff
