Using Week View

[Chris]

Hi Guys,

I’m looking at the info on your site about Week View and I think it might work for my business. We want to show a weekly session timetable at our venue, for regular opening times etc – that we can edit / update when we have events.

I was hoping to trial this as from looking at the options, I’m not totally sure it would work.

Is there a trial option for Event Calendar Pro?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for getting in touch and I’m happy to hear you’re considering using Events Calendar PRO!

We have a demo site available and the Week View for it can be seen here: http://wpshindig.com/events/week/

While we do not have “trial” versions of our plugins, we do offer a full refund on all our products within 30 days of purchase. That would allow you to test the plugin features and return it, if needed.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for that advice. My other question regarding the week view, is can it be customised to display certain hours? For example, I’d only want to display from 8am – 11pm each day. And I’d want my week to start on Monday (not sunday).

Are tweaks like this possible?

Hey Chris,

Good question. I looked at the Week View template files and did not see an immediately obvious way to customize the hourly ranges. I imagine there is a way to do it programmatically, but I have been unable to find any working examples of it and think it would take custom development.

One workaround would be to use the “End of day cutoff” setting in Events > Settings. That would allow you to set the range for a given day to end sooner than the default of midnight. However, that does not seem exactly to be what you’re looking for.

You can absolutely have your week start on Monday. In fact, the plugin reads that directly from the WordPress settings in Settings > General.

Cheers!

I had a quick play with that setting and I don’t think it will work for this.

Are you able to customise the spacing / layout of the hours of the day? If I can’t hide the early hours, perhaps I can make them smaller?

The custom development you mention – is that something Modern Tribe could do, or would we need to do that ourselves?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Oh yeah, you could definitely use CSS to target the time grid in Week View.

You could use .tribe-week-grid-hours div to target the hourly fields and modify from there. For example, to make the height of each time label smaller:

.tribe-week-grid-hours div {
height: 25px; /* 60px by default */
}

Modern Tribe does do custom development work, but it’s for enterprise-level projects that are often focused on full sites rather than customizations to The Events Calendar. We do, however, a list of recommended developers who may be willing to help.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
