Creating Featured Events in Customized Weekly View

[Brad Mitchell]

I need to control the display of a featured event in the customized weekly view on the homepage. Has anyone done this or can anyone offer advice on which route to take? Also, is it possible to disable reoccurring events only from the weekly view?

Hi Drew,

Customizing the display of weekly view events—or really any “view” of events—is possible, but unfortunately only by way of custom coding.

I say “unfortunately” there because we cannot help with custom coding, nor can these forums be used a place to solicit assistance with custom coding from other folks.

When it comes to customizing calendar views, I would recommend a few things:

• Our Themer’s Guide — It covers the basics of customizing calendar views, so if you are willing to tinker with code a bit you can use this to make it a bit easier to modify code. Check out the guide here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/
• Our Customizations resources page — a page full of resources for customizations if you want to hire someone to implement custom coding for you. Check that out here → http://theeventscalendar.com/customizations

Now despite what I said above about our no-customizations policy, we do try to share custom code if we can write a quick little snippet that helps. So, in regards to your second question about hiding recurrences from weekly views, I addressed this and shared a code snippet for you in your other thread on that topic here → https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/excluding-recurring-events-from-the-week-widget/

Cheers,
George

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
