Hi there, Sven! Thanks for getting in touch and checking out the plugins. 🙂
Good questions. Let’s see if we can tackle them one at a time here…
add the categories related to an event,
Yes, the calendar does in fact include the ability to categorize events. In addition, tags are also available.
So, outside of the classic php files overrides, are there any options built in the plugin to do a simplified templating for displaying the plugin data?
There are indeed a number of options that can be used to configure the display of events and the calendar itself. Most of the these are toggles to either display or not display something, such as whether to display a map or what the default view for the calendar is.
The best way to see those options is to give it a test drive for yourself. The free version of the plugin already contains all the general options, which should give you some freedom to play around with them and see how flexible it is for the project you’re working on.
Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂
Cheers!
Geoff
