How to add public holiday into the calendar?

[Terrance]

Hi,
I will like to know if it’s possible to add non click-able Public Holiday on the calendar. So that user will know which Public Holiday is near each event.

Thanks in advance.

This is a good idea. Not out of the box, but let me see if there are any somewhat easy hacks to get this done. I’ll get our dev Jonah to respond.

[Terrance]

Great Thanks!

Hi Terrence,

My first thought would be to add it via jQuery but I don’t know if that’s the best approach. Let me check with some of the other team and get back to you.

Regards,
Jonah

Great, Thanks Jonah.

Terrance,

Are you comfortable adding folders/files to your theme and editing PHP? If so, I could write a walkthrough, but it’ll take a few steps to get this working as the link is hardcoded in the table (and list) view, and there’s currently no easy way to target those links via CSS or JQuery (based on event specific meta data, at least).

If/when you can accommodate rss feeds *coming in* to ECP, you’d have this problem solved, by just locating an existing online rss feed of public holidays and subscribing to said feed.

Peter,

Yes that’d certainly be the most elegant solution. Have you suggested that in the feature requests thread?

[Terrance]

Ah, subscribing to the online rss feed for public holidays is nice. Does it make it into the feature list? 🙂

Hey Terrance. If you post suggestions to our existing feature requests thread (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/events-calendar-pro-feature-requests/), they’ll all be brought to the table when we meet as a team to discuss future releases. Fire away!
