Month Calendar as a Widget

[Michael]

Hi,

how can I put my month view calendar as a widget on my website. I do not mean the “mini calendar” in a sidebar. I mean the hole month calendar which I can see on my event landingpage http://www.gedys-intraware.de/gedys-events
Is that possible?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Michael,

Interesting question. I have to admit that I have no come across this request before but it’s a neat one.

I’m afraid that the only Month View widget available in Events Calendar PRO is the Mini Month Calendar. That’s going to be the only supported way to get the calendar into the sidebar.

That said, Event Calendar PRO does include shortcodes for the full calendar views, including Month View. So, as long as your sidebar or widget area support shortcodes, you could theoretically put something like this in there:

[tribe_events view="month"]

I will note that Month View has a responsive design so, while the shortcode makes a call to embed the full calendar view, whether it shows the full version ultimately depends on how much horizontal space you have allocated for it in the sidebar. If it’s too narrow of a space, then it will show a condensed view for small screens, which is really the same thing as the Mini Calendar widget we began with. 🙂

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know!

Cheers!
Geoff

It works perfectly how it should be.
Thanks a lot!

Right on! I’m so glad to hear everything is working smoothly and I appreciate you following up to let me know. Definitely keep us posted if any other questions come up and we’d be happy to help.

Cheers!
