Events Calendar Multi-Day events

[samuel]

I usually have multi-day events that last the span of 4-5 days.

1.
Is there a way that once a multi-day event starts, that the “calendar” can grey out the entire length of the multi-event?

2.
Once the multi-day event has started, is there a way to not allow the customers to click on the the link in the calendar once it is greyed out?

3.
Once a multi-event has been greyed out in the calendar and not allowed to be clicked, can an alternative image be shown when mousing over the event? Something such as an image that shows “SOLD OUT” or etc?

I haven’t been able to find any posts about any of these questions. Either way, I think these would be great additions to the calendar if they are not already there and I just can’t find them.

Hi Samuel,

Thanks for getting in touch.

To make changes like these you would have to implement a number of small customizations. The best starting point is our Themer’s Guide, which explains how to safely override our default templates.

You may also want to browse our technical docs where you can find details of functions like tribe_get_start_date() – which you could use when detecting if an event has already started or not (ie, by comparing it to the result of current_time() or similar).

Once a multi-event has been greyed out in the calendar and not allowed to be clicked, can an alternative image be shown when mousing over the event? Something such as an image that shows “SOLD OUT” or etc?

This sort of thing is not directly covered in the Themer’s Guide, but if you open up views/month/single-event.php you will find fairly comprehensive instructions on how to modify the month view tooltips 🙂

Thanks and good luck!
