Customizing Calendar Views

[Chris]

<p>Hi,

<p>I need to do two things and after reviewing all the docs and forums, I’m still not clear this is possible.

<p>1) I need to setup so that I can have one calendar with two different views. One view would show only events for one particular organizer, and another view would show events for all the organizers at once. Is this possible, and if so how?

<p>2) I’d like to create a custom field for “Additional Event Notes” and the calendar view needs to hide that data for people with one WP role, but display it for people with another WP role. In other words certain roles would see additional data bout the event. Is this possible, and if so how?</p>

<p>Thanks much!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your interest in our plugins! I’m happy to answer your questions.

1) I need to setup so that I can have one calendar with two different views. One view would show only events for one particular organizer, and another view would show events for all the organizers at once. Is this possible, and if so how?

With Events Calendar PRO, you can get specific organizer views. That shows the organizers information at the top and all the upcoming events organized by them below. Here’s an example screenshot of a uncustomized/unstyled Organizer page with the Twenty Thirteen theme. You can also add a description and/or pictures to that top part of the page. Would that work for you? The main calendar would then display the events for all the organizers.

2) I’d like to create a custom field for “Additional Event Notes” and the calendar view needs to hide that data for people with one WP role, but display it for people with another WP role. In other words certain roles would see additional data bout the event. Is this possible, and if so how?

First of all I just want to make sure you know that the Additional Event field is not designed to be used for large amounts of text. On the backend it is just a small text box and it displays with the other event data on the front end (like this). I just wanted to point that out in case your notes are extensive.

To answer your question- that feature is not built in, no. It might be possible with some complex customizing, but that wouldn’t be something we could help you with. However, we do have documentation that would help and we’d be happy to recommend some developers who could work with you.

Let me know if I can elaborate or if you have any further questions 🙂

Best,

Leah
