Sorting and Inline Editing

[dakotaeye]

I am trying to figure out how to do a couple of things. One I would like admins to be able to edit an event from the calendar itself, instead of having to find it in the events list. To me this should be something fairly quick and easy to enable but just can’t find it.

Second is I would like to create a separate column that is just for a sort order. All of the events I am using are for all day and I would like to control the exact order they are displayed in via category, column, tag, whatever I can.

Third is there a way to have an all day event go across multiple days similar to outlook or other calendars? It would help show if an event is more than one day it would be easy to distinguish.

Thank you!

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

Unfortunately there is not currently any option to edit events inline from the front end, but you can click on the event from the calendar, which takes you to the single event page, and then you will see an “Edit Event” option in the admin bar at the top of the screen. This would currently be the quickest way to get to the event edit screen without having to go through the admin list on the backend.

To add a column to the events list on the backend, I would recommend taking a look at this plugin. Our free Advanced Post Manager plugin can also help with sorting and filtering posts.

We are working on adding the ability for events to visually span multiple days in month view, but unfortunately it has not been released yet. I don’t have a timeline for you as to when it will be completed, but I would recommend casting your vote for this feature request so that you can stay up to date on progress.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer
