Mini Calendar Question

[Patrick Sasser]

The mini calendar is much improved in version three, but upon initial load of the calendar it shows my next 5 upcoming events (because that’s the setting I have chosen in the widget setting). I don’t want it to show the next 5 upcoming events. Instead I want it to only show the events for today’s date. If no events occur on today then I want it to say “No Events Today” is there any way that I can do that?

Hi psasser,

Thanks for getting in touch. You may be able to do this with a little customizing. There is a thread going on this topic that I think will help get you pointed in the write direction:

I recommend that you follow the steps outlined there, and post back here if you run into trouble. We’ll do our best to help out.

Cheers,

Unfortunately I couldn’t really make sense of the post that you directed me to. Basically I couldn’t (and still can’t find) where the query for the Mini Calendar widget is generated initially. So for a solution I used jQuery to empty the event area of the mini calendar widget and then load in today’s events only. I also had to get creative with some coding to figure out how to make it only display one days events when you click the arrow to go to the next month. But was able to figure it out. So I think all is good with my issues on the mini calendar widget.

Thanks for the update psasser. I’m glad you were able to find a solution that worked for you!
