Mini Calendar Widget Links

Hi – this seems to have been a problem in the past, I am currently experiencing same issue (javascript?).

Please see arizonamelt.com

I’m a new Pro user – loving the plugin so far except this one little thing!

Hi,

Thanks for using The Events Calendar Pro, sorry for the issues with the Mini Calendar.

I can help troubleshoot this with you.

I looked at the source code on your site and it is not quite right for the Calendar.

I did not get any Javascript errors in my console and it is loading the correct file.

So to start this off can you please follow our testing for conflicts guide:

Testing Conflicts With Themes and Other Plugins

That will help narrow down where the issue is and we can go from there.

Let me know what you find out thanks.

I went through the conflicts guide and the issue persisted. (reverted to standard theme, deactivated all plugins).

What now?

thanks much
Nancy

Hi there Nancy!

Brian’s out today so I thought I’d pop in and see if I could help 🙂

So if I’m understanding the problem correctly it is that if you click on a particular date in the mini calendar grid – even where it contains events – nothing happens. Is that correct?

If so it actually looks like you may actually be experiencing the expected behaviour: my guess is that you have set the number of events to show widget setting to zero (so clicking on a day that contains events will not cause those same events to be listed below the widget) and you additionally seem to have disabled day view (so it can’t link visitors to that day’s events, either).

Would that explain things and could you either increase the number of events to show setting or else enable day view?

[nancytimper]

AH, yes, I now see that I needed to enable the Day view in order to get the behavior I wanted. Well, close to the behavior. I was hoping the click would go to the event’s actual post, rather than an excerpt. Is that possible?

thanks for your help 😀

It would be possible as a customization – but obviously that would hinge on there only ever being one event on any given day. You could certainly explore our Themer’s Guide if you want to give building such a customization a shot.

Alternatively, how about setting the widget to display just 1 event? Then if a visitor clicks on a particular day they can preview which event is taking place and either select a different day or click through, according to their preference? That way no code-level tweaks would be required 🙂

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
