Expand "View All #"

[Anthony D’Arco]

On the grid view, is there a way to “Expand All” so that every event on the calendar displays?

Hi Anthony,

Fantastic idea and one that you could certainly add to our feature request page. If you were building this yourself then there are a few possibilities.

One would be to effectively remove the limit on the number of events that display per calendar cell – but customize the relevant template such that after x events have displayed the rest are allocated a CSS class that hides them from view (they could then be expanded when someone clicks on Expand All).

Depending on how many events you are dealing with however that might add quite a bit of extra load to calendar requests, so an alternative could be to listen for clicks on the Expand All link then request the complete list of events for that day by ajax – you would need to build a handler to do this – then insert them into the table cell (and so you would only load those extra events if and when a user requests them, rather than always).

Hope that gives you a few ideas!

Barry,

I just looked at everything and I think I must need more guidance. Basically, I tracked this down as a setting in the admin. Once that variable is set, I don’t see a place where I can then change that setting in a display template. Am I missing something. I have been looking through views/month/

Thank you,
Anthony

Anthony – this is really a custom development question and I’m afraid therefore not one we can help you with. We do wish you luck, of course, but you’d need to dig into this yourself (or else work with a suitable developer).

Thanks!
