Hide week days in calendar view?

[Cath]

Hi
I found this in the calendar shortcodes
‘Hide Weekends: set this to 1 and it will hide Saturdays and Sundays.

[tribe_this_week hide_weekends=”true”]’

Is it possible to hide week days instead? All my events are at the weekend. What would I need to add to the shortcode?
Thank you

Hi Cath!

Thanks for reaching out! 🙂

Unfortunately, hiding week days is not something posible with a shortcode setting.

This is something you could post as an idea for a future implementation in our user voice here > https://tribe.uservoice.com/ so other users can vote for it.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best!

Hi
If it can’t be done with a shortcode can it be done any other way? All my events are at weekends and I am surely not alone in this. It looks ridiculous to have Monday ‘no events’, Tuesday ‘no events’ etc

Hi Cath!

Oh sure! I understand what you mean. Well I guess you could do that by customizing the week template files located in /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/week/

You should check out our themer’s guide that will point you on how to customize our plugin’s template files. I hope this helps.

Cheers!

Thank you. Unfortunately when I get to wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/week/ I am unable to locate the correct bit to edit. Any tips what I am looking for?

Hi Cath!

First off, I do want to note that we are fairly limited in how much we can support custom development questions like this.

That said, I’d be happy to at least point you in the right direction as best I can. We also have a list of freelancers who we would happily recommend for this level of help.

Having a deeper look at the code I found out the approach I gave you for customizing the template files is not ideal. Instead, you could try adding the following snippet of code into your theme’s functions.php file:

/**
* Events Calendar Pro
* Shows only weekends (Fri - Sat - Sun) in week view
*/
add_action('tribe_events_week_get_days','custom_tribe_events_week_get_only_weekends');
function custom_tribe_events_week_get_only_weekends($days){
foreach ( $days as $i => $day ) {
if ( $day > 0 && $day < 5 ) {
unset ( $days[ $i ] );
}
}
return $days;
}

Bear in mind you should avoid setting “Week Starts On” other than weekend days, to prevent any PHP warning messages from showing.

Please let me know if it works for you.

Best!
Victor

Hi Thanks for this. I have added the snippet to the functions.php file but it hasn’t changed the view in the front end of the website. Is there something I need to do to change the calendar view?

[Victor]

Hey Cath!

That’s strange. Could you make sure you placed the code into your currently active theme’s functions.php file? If so, where exactly did you paste it? Could you send me a screenshot of it so I can see if there’s anything wrong with it?

Also, when coming back, could you please share with us your system info by following this guide > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Thanks,
Victor

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
