[mikeamcbrien]

I am trying to accomplish a layout that will list the events for the week. for example…

Sunday
==========
event1
event2

Monday
======
event3
event4

etc…

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Hey there Mike,

Welcome to the support forum! Really appreciate you getting in touch and hope you’re enjoying the plugin so far.

There is a Weekly View available that can be set as the default calendar view. Head over to the event display settings (Events > Settings > Display) and choose “Week” in the drop down next to “Default View.” Just make sure you hit “Save Changes” at the bottom for the change to take effect–that’s easy to miss. 🙂

If you’re looking for something a little more custom, I’d recommend checking out our Themer’s Guide. It walks you through how to create custom calendar layouts by overriding the template files. The template files for Week View are outlined in the Views and Templates section.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know and thanks again for reaching out.

Cheers!
Geoff

Thanks for the reply Geoff – I did try that, however teh client wants it in a list type view opposed to the really neat column view that personally i prefer 🙂

So to be more specific, can we do a listed weekly view?

Hi Mike,

Yeah, unfortunately, the Week View isn’t available as a list view right out of the box. Using the Themer’s Guide to create one is definitely going to be the way to go for this. I would imagine you could base it off the List View template while using the filters from the Week View template.

Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!

It does – i’ll be giving it a whirl, kind surprised theres not a weekly list template though.

If anyone else has happened to do this and are willing to share please let me know, If I can get it working correctly I will share it also.

[Geoff]

Yes, please share! That’s a great way to possibly help others who might be looking for something similar.

Speaking of which, we have a UserVoice page where you can share your thoughts and ideas for features. We check it regularly and use it when planning future versions of all our plugins, so adding your voice would certainly be helpful.

I’m going to close this thread, but please feel free to open a new one if you run into anything else and we’d be happy to help out. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
