Calendar Hierarchy

[Staci Alonso]

We’re trying to make a master calendar for our entertainment offerings. We have 9 main properties with 2-3 venues inside (Hotel Casinos in Las Vegas).

We want the main calendar to show everything for all properties and venues.

Then have property specific pages with a full calendar. We thought we could do this with shortcodes but it appears it only shows a mini calendar. Is there any way to this with queries?

We want to have Main Page = All Events
Property 1 = All Property 1 events
Property 2 = All Property 2 events
etc,

Thanks in advance!

Good evening Staci and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

Then have property specific pages with a full calendar. We thought we could do this with shortcodes but it appears it only shows a mini calendar. Is there any way to this with queries?

The short answer is yes. You can have exactly what you are looking for with the use of Event Categories.

Basically, you need to create an Event Category for each property and assign all events to their respective freshly created Event categories.

From there, it’s a simple matter of using your Appearance > Menus screen to display the calendar filtered by Property.
I would recommend reading the following on this subject: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/event-categories/

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Ok what you showed me is great, but I’d really like a shortcode so that I can style each category page using my theme and not have to hack up some PHP.

Is there a full calendar shortcode that accepts category or tag arguments?

Thanks!

Good afternoon Staci,

I’m glad the info I shared was helpful to you.

We are indeed working on expanding our shortcodes to enable full calendar embed on any page.
I cannot provide you with a release date just yet, but stay tuned, if all goes well, it should be announced very soon.

But for the moment, unless you actually created custom page templates (with the help of our trustee  Themer’s guide) or by hiring one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you, I am afraid there are no other options on the table.

I wish I had a better answer for you, but for now it’s the best one I have.

Best regards,

Geoff B.
