Date Selector in Map View is Confusing

[Ben Wachtel]

Hi,

In the calendar view you can select a month and it will show all events within that month.

In the map view you have to select a date and it appears to show all events after that date.

To keep the behavior consistent, would it be possible to have same selection of a month period of time in the map view? Or at least pick the date selector type for the map view?

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

Thank you for reaching out to us.

This is a really interesting suggestion.
I totally see where you are coming from on this.

It would be nice to have a choice of date picker or even date picker range for the following views: list, photo, map
In fact, you can suggest it or cast your vote on other features in our User Voice forum.

As you might know, currently there is unfortunately no built-in way to do that.
But I might have some good news. Somebody else made a very similar request a while back.

To make a long story short, this will require some customization for now.
You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a good general sense of how that works.

You can also read my colleague Barry’s suggestion to get you started on the right track: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/change-datepicker-in-map-view-to-display-months-rather-than-days/

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
