Customizing the calendar

[Mike]

Good evening,

I have several questions regarding the calendars function. Is it possible to:

1. show the events only from Sunday until Thursday (and comprimize saturday and friday in one cell/row) and to resize the cells in general?
2. show first the week schedule, and optionally the daily, monthly and yearly schedule?
3. add into the description of each event a link?
4. adapt the size (width & height) of the calendar?
5. categorize the events with colors? e.g. i have an event its about music (color red) and an other one about culture (color blue)?
6. add the calendar to any site of my website?
7. show on the calendar the starting time of the event (before clicking to the event)?

Thank you!!!

Mike

Hey Mike,

Thank you for considering our plugins for your project! I’ll gladly answer your questions below 🙂

1. show the events only from Sunday until Thursday (and comprimize saturday and friday in one cell/row) and to resize the cells in general?

This would require some modification, but our Themer’s Guide is the best resource to learn how you’d go about accomplishing your request.

2. show first the week schedule, and optionally the daily, monthly and yearly schedule?

I’m not 100% certain I understand what you’re describing, but we have included a useful dropdown with relative icons in each view where users can select alternative views, such as Map (screenshot below) or Photo view.

If I’ve misunderstood what you mean, please provide more details and an example if you’ve got one. If the request involves a feature/functionality not currently provided, it will require custom development on your end.

3. add into the description of each event a link?

This is doable right “out of the box”! Exactly as WordPress posts and pages work, each event, venue, and organizer has a section where you can input event details, including links, images, etc.

4. adapt the size (width & height) of the calendar?

The calendar can be tweaked to your exact liking! I’ll include some of the most useful resources on the matter below.

• PRO Color Customizer
• Themer’s Guide
• Stylesheets and Page Templates
• Settings Overview: The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO
• Basic font and color changes with CSS
• Methods for Overriding Styles in WordPress

5. categorize the events with colors? e.g. i have an event its about music (color red) and an other one about culture (color blue)?

You could use a plugin like The Events Calendar Category Colors to help accomplish this request. Please note this plugin is developed by another author, so if you run into issues or have any questions, you’ll need to contact them rather than us.

6. add the calendar to any site of my website?

If you mean add the calendar to any page/post of your website, then yes! Our shortcodes allow you to place event-related material anywhere you want! Please take a moment and review the following resources related to shortcodes.

• PRO Widget Shortcodes
• Embedding Calendar Views with the [tribe_events] Shortcode
• Inserting Calendar Content into Posts or Pages
• Embedding Single Events with the [tribe_event_inline] Shortcode

7. show on the calendar the starting time of the event (before clicking to the event)?

If you visit our demo site (screenshot below), you’ll notice a tooltip appears when hovering over an event title. We have included in the tooltip the event title, date/time info, and an excerpt, but you can tailor the plugin to do whatever you need with the help of the Themer’s Guide.

I’d also like to bring our UserVoice Feature Ideas page to your attention. If you have any feature requests you’d like to share with us, we’d love to hear them!

I hope I’ve my responses have helped and please let me know if you’ve got any additional questions. Thanks again and have a pleasant rest of your day. Cheers!

Hey, Thank you very much!

Are these 89 per year? Or i pay these 89 for buying the license? So i can use it forever?! And this additional 89 per year are for support and for updates?

THank you!

[Hunter]

The license fee covers updates and access to the premium plugin support forums for one year, so you’ll need to renew annually in order to access the latest versions and the forums. Good news is, we have a renewal discount we send out prior to your license expiration, so keep an eye on your inbox for those!

Feel free to shoot over any more questions you’ve got. Cheers 🙂

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!
