Hide Calendar Widget when no events?

[Christopher Liu-Beers]

Is it possible to either hide the calendar widget entirely or display a custom message when there are no upcoming events?

Hi,

I can help you out with this. There is not option like on the Upcoming Events List Widget to hide if no events.

With a simple function you can add your own to the Calendar Widget though.

You could follow our Themer’s Guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

To move this file to your theme:

\events-calendar-pro\views\pro\widgets\mini-calendar-widget.php

Then use this function to wrap the Calendar Widget and if Display a Message if you like in the else statement.

Let me know if you have any followup questions.

Thanks

Excellent – this worked for me with some modification. I’ll post the code in case this helps anyone else…


/**
* Events Pro Mini Calendar Widget
* This is the template for the output of the mini calendar widget.
*
* Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/widgets/mini-calendar-widget.php
*
* @package TribeEventsCalendarPro

Great glad it helps. I edited the coding a bit to remove the links and place it in our code wrapper to help out.

I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks
