Features I need for the calendar

[Florian]

Hi,

I’m searching for a calendar plugin for wordpress to use it as course planner (fitness studio). It should have the following options (marked all points with ok, if I found an answer for this):

1) List view [OK]

2) Week view (pro version) [OK]

3) Different colors for the courses (categories) [OK]

4) Output of the course instructor in week view directly [?]

5) Label “new” for new courses [?]

thx
Florian

Hey there, Florian! Thanks for getting in touch. We’re stoked that you’re considering The Events Calendar and the PRO version for your project. 🙂

The short answer to your questions about Course Instructor output and a “New” label for courses is: yes, those are both possible.

The plugins (both The Events Calendar and The Events Calendar PRO) are flexible enough for you to customize the templates that comes with them. So, for example, you could override the Week View template and insert the Organizer (or Course Instructor, if that’s what you’ll be calling them) where you’d like it to appear using the tribe_get_organizer() function.

The “New” label might be a little trickier, depending on how you would like it to function. For example. does it expire and hide after a certain amount of time? Or do you add and remove it manually? Again, the templates are flexible enough to be customized, but you may need to do some custom work to make something like this work to suit your exact needs.

You also might be interested in checking out our Themer’s Guide. This is a thoroughly detailed guide oncreating custom layouts by overriding templates. Definitely a must-read for the sort of things you’re looking to do.

Does this help? Please let me know and thanks again for reaching out. 🙂

Cheers!
