Have rolling calendar OR more than one month event view listing OR both

[Nic Morris]

Hi

Is it possible to have a rolling calendar view? One where the rows of weeks continually shift upwards, so that you always see the next four weeks or so in advance? My client’s concern is that if a student happens to visit the page on the last day or two of the month, they’ll see a lot of greyed-out squares and an apparent lack of events; they’d have to click the tiny arrows beside the month to turn the page.. The current list of upcoming events underneath only seems to show those in the month currently being viewed, so a rolling calendar would ensure students see all upcoming events, even later in the month.

Alternatively, at least have more than one month of event listing below the actual calendar…

Both would be great! 🙂

Thanks for your help!

Hi there Nic,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! I can help you here…

Unfortunately, this is not possible out of the box with our plugins but I guess you can custom code it.

Alternatively, at least have more than one month of event listing below the actual calendar…

This sounds doable for sure. Are you referring to month view or the mini calendar widget? Can you please share a link to it?

Thanks,
Nico

Hi
Thanks Nico, the website in question is here: http://fab.thedesignpeople.com.au/
It’s a test site at the moment. It’s really the mini calendar view that they are concerned with. So, they’re looking to have extended views of what’s coming up – especially if they don’t have much on during the current month, they want it to look like they are still doing stuff – by having the next months (or at least some of next months) events listed.
Appreciate your help!
Nic

Thanks for following up Nic!

What you are trying to achieve is possible using Mini Calendar Widget + Event List Widget. Take a look at the settings → https://cloudup.com/cx0ZoC4EYTH

You just need to be sure to indicate mini calendar to not show any events under the calendar. Then the list widget will take care of displaying events weather they happen in the current month or not.

Please let me know if this works for the site,
Best,
Nico

Nico, Great! Thanks so much for that. I can now at least extend out the text content so it appears to have more events over the next few months rather than just the single month.
Much appreciated!

You are welcome Nic! Glad to hear you are in a better spot now 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.
