Singe Event appearance on iPhone 5

[Saeed]

Hi all,

I found that the event information that appears at the top of the page when you view a single event, had its format affected when viewed from an iPhone 5 (the problem didn’t seem occur on the iPad 3). I was finding that the names of events and venues etc. was being squashed to the left side of the page and appearing as a vertical text rather than horizontal. I removed sidebars and changed advert sizes but all to no avail.
Eventually a friend helped me identify that a something in the CSS of the plugin that was making the info appear in 3 columns, each of which took up 30% of the screen each. To resolve this, my techie friend removed the 3 column instruction and made the remaining column 100% of the the page width. Hopefully someone who knows more about the plugin and CSS can work out exactly what was done and pass on the good news to other people trying to overcome this issue.

regards,

Saeed

Hi Saeed, thanks for the feedback. Our views and templates are being overhauled significantly in time for what will hopefully be the next release so let’s hold tight and see what that brings.

In the meantime (and possibly even then) the best way to exercise control is to customize the CSS – which is exactly what your friend did.

The reality is we need to provide some basic styling to make the calendar presentable on a wide range of devices, but this isn’t going to be bulletproof and that’s why the plugin is designed in such a way as to allow for customizations, directly within the template as well as at stylesheet level.
