Overlapping events on daily view?

[Larry Leszczynski]

Hi –

We’re looking at buying Events Calendar Pro and have a question about the daily view. We run a three day conference with many overlapping events. I looked at the daily view in your demo at e.g. May 15 at 7pm, and it looks like it does not handle the display of overlapping events very well (partial overlap of the two 7-8pm events, and complete overlap by the 7-9pm event). Is there a way to e.g. tweak CSS styles or anything to help with that? Or is there a different view that would be better for events in parallel tracks?

Thanks!
Larry

Hi Larry –

Just about anything is possible so if you have an alternative model in your head for laying them out then there’s a good chance you can customize The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO accordingly 🙂

To get a better sense  of what’s involved in that sort of modification, definitely do check out our Themer’s Guide and even peruse our list of tutorials – I think you’ll see it’s pretty flexible (it’s certainly pretty easy to add custom CSS).

In terms of more flexible existing views that can better handle concurrent events, I guess that really depends on how you feel this should be visualized – as ever we’re open to your feedback and ideas.

Thanks again – and please let me know if we can help with anything else 🙂

Larry,
Overlapping events is a concern of mine, too. Have you figured out how to handle it?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve – the pre-sales forum isn’t really the best venue for obtaining technical support – but the community forums on wordpress.org (or our PRO forums here if you have purchased a license) are well worth posting on should you wish to gather feedback from others 🙂
