Mini Calendar change colours

[handdrawnpixels]

Hello –
I want to modify some styling of my mini-calendar widget. Is it possible to add a class to each event with a category assigned to it? for example if the taxonomy and class is Theatre its Yellow, if its Dance its green

I am using the following code in a different area of the site but can’t get it to work on the mini-calendar

<?php $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, ‘tribe_events_cat’ ); ?>
<div class=”boxes<?php foreach( $terms as $term ) echo ‘ ‘ . $term->slug; ?>”>
<?php echo $term->slug; ?>
</div>

Thanks

Hey @handdrawnpixels,

You can indeed make the customization you described here. While we can’t help with specific code examples, one thing that should be an enormous help is our official Themer’s Guide, which can be found here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Using the principles in that guide, you can make a custom version of the /views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php file found in your copy of Events Calendar PRO and add custom class names based on the category.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
George

You might give The Events Calendar Category Colors a try.

It is a third party plugin. It does colorize widgets too.

I have tried adding a custom class to the area suggested however it keeps repeating the same class, so all boxes are the same colour. The third party plugin doesn’t work with the background colours either.

Any ideas?

Hey @handdrawnpixels,

How are you generating your custom class? Can you paste your modified version of the /views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php file into a Gist at http://gist.github.com and share a link back to that Gist here?

We can’t support custom code like this, but I’ll try to at least take a quick look and see if anything is obviously wrong. You should basically be looking for the category of the specific event, and generating a different class for each category. Are you doing this?
