Week View – Default to start with NEXT event rather than today

[Robyn]

Is there a way to have Week view default to start with the next scheduled event? We have a week-long Specialty/Conference starting 9/29. List View & Map View both start with the next upcoming event as expected, but Week forces the user to hunt. Not ideal. I coded the start-date into the URL in my Menu, which helps. Unfortunately, if a user goes to an event then follows the link back to All Events, they are forced to hunt again if using Week View. Since this site is currently only about the one-week, I could hard-code the start of 9/29 in the link within the template, I suppose – but I would prefer a more elegant(?) solution if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

That’s definitely possible.

Here’s a tutorial showing code that facilitates this for the calendar widget – you could certainly repurpose it or use it purely to look at the mechanics of this task and re-build it for week view.

… and, if you’d like to see a tutorial written specifically for week view, please do post a feature request and we’ll definitely give it our attention 🙂
