How to Display Full Calendar

[Jennifer]

Hi,

I am trying to get an actual full calendar to display on a page, but I cannot figure out how to do this. Is this possible?

[Shannon]

I use a plugin called Event Rocket for this.

Good evening Jennifer and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
We will gladly try to assist you on this topic.

Currently, we unfortunately do not have an easy way to do this.

The best solution for now would be to do a template customization (building a special page template) reading our Themer’s guide as a starting point.

Without getting technical, the reason for this is that currently the full calendar is actually not a “real” page.

Shannon is right, Event Rocket could be used, but the issue is that it is no longer supported since version 4.0 of our plugins.
As such, it might result in odd behaviours, so I can’t really recommend it.

The good news is that we are currently working at making this a shortcode for our Pro add-on.
Unfortunately, I cannot commit to a release date at this point. But stay tuned!

I wish I had a better answer for you, but for now it’s the best one I have.

Have a good week-end,

Geoff B.

Yeah, how bizarre to create such an enormously detailed and excellent plugin for events, that doesn’t allow the user to actually display them as a calendar page.

My calendar does exist as:

But it doesn’t automatically create a page with thus URL in the ‘pages’ section at the back of my website. I can’t even create a new page and set it’s calendar’s URL to the one shown above, because it keeps switching it to:

http://www.hamishnapier.com/calendar-2

Will try the event rocket for now.

Thanks for posting this question.

Good afternoon Hamish,

Thank you for your feedback. I can absolutely understand why you would feel this way.

That being said, there is of course a good number of technical reasons as to why the plugin is built the way it is. You’ll be glad to know that most of these are in order to offer flexibility and features to our clients.

As mentioned previously, we are currently working on a solution to this very popular request. So stay tuned!

Best regards,

Geoff B.
