Mini Calendar widget – display events on load instead of click?

[User Services]

I’ve added the mini calendar widget to a page on my site and I love how it’s looking. However, I’d like it to load up showing the current or upcoming dates. It will show those dates if I click on the calendar but it’s not showing them when the page loads.

Is there a way to configure it so those events show when the page loads?

Hi!

It’s actually intended to do just that – show any upcoming events in the current month. I’m not sure why it’s failing to do so in your case – but could you do a quick test and add an event taking place on the 30th and see if that then shows up on initial load?

If it does, it may point to a date/time settings issue, since the latest upcoming event this month seems to be taking place today – the 25th.

(Great looking site by the way.)

Thanks!

Thank you, Barry!

It was probably due to a lack of data. Once I added an event on the 30th, as you suggested, it did load with the events in place. Since this is a test site I suspect that once we go live we’ll hardly ever have an appreciable time span without any events so we may not see this again.

Thanks again!

Awesome, thanks for the update.

In that case I’ll go ahead and close the thread – but if we can help with anything else (or this does resurface in production) please don’t hesitate to create a new thread and one of the team will be happy to help 🙂

Last but not least, we’re always interested in hearing feedback about The Events Calendar in general and if you wished to share a review that would be fantastic!

Thanks again!
