Hello! I’m reviewing other event plugins. my client has some specific requirements. I need to know:
– Can I have custom start times on recurring events? example: an instance of an event would start an hour early every 3rd monday
– Can I change the layout of an event’s single view. example: I want to put the event logistics UNDER the description, or on the side, or whatever.
– I need a customizable agenda view similar to this page (not including the tabbed content feature)
– the ability to dynamically list all events by title/date with the option to hide all but first instance.
– is this your plugin: https://hennepintheatretrust.org/events/

Thank you!
I look forward to hearing back. my timeline is only a few weeks out.

Hello August,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! I’d be happy to answer your questions.

Let’s go one by one:

Can I have custom start times on recurring events? example: an instance of an event would start an hour early every 3rd monday

Absolutely. Our Events Calendar PRO plugin will allow you to create recurring events with different rules. That also includes custom times for the recurrences.

Here’s a screenshot of a set of rules for example for an event that repeats every day of the week, but on every 3rd Monday it starts one hour earlier.

Can I change the layout of an event’s single view. example: I want to put the event logistics UNDER the description, or on the side, or whatever.

Yes, that is possible. We have a detailed Themer’s Guide which explains on how you can create template overrides to create the layout you desire.

I need a customizable agenda view similar to this page (not including the tabbed content feature)

The page you shared looks similar to the List view of our calendar, and just like the above, you can customize the looks with css and with template overrides.

The ability to dynamically list all events by title/date with the option to hide all but first instance.

Hiding all but the first instances of recurring events in list-style views is possible with a setting in the calendar.

Listing the events by date goes without question, the list view does that starting with today and going forward, or you can page backwards.

In order to be able to list the events by title, you would need to write some custom code. Also, listing the events by date from oldest to newest or newest to oldest would require some customization. And there might be some plugins that can help you with this as well, something that handles post type orders.

is this your plugin: https://hennepintheatretrust.org/events/

It is difficult to say. I was trying to check the code but couldn’t really find any indication.

Nonetheless, our Calendar plugin is highly customizable and looks similar to that can be achieved with a bit of work.

There are also themes –  mostly premium – out there which integrate well with out calendar and already do some design changes.

I hope these answer your questions. And of course if you have some more, I’d be happy to answer those for you as well.

I would also recommend taking a look at our demo site and our showcase page to give you a taste of what all can be achieved with our plugins.

Cheers,
Andras
