Hi Barry,

Thanks for the response. I’ve read the themer’s guide and used it to make some customizations to my community events form. I’m more of a hacker than a true developer, but so far I’ve been able to do what I need using the documentation that has already been provided. However, while I think I know WHERE the customization needs to happen, I don’t know what parts of the code to mess with. Maybe I can explain again what I want to do and see if you can point me in the right direction more specifically.

Right now, I want my gridview to use the page layout as seen here: http://kidscalendar.wpengine.com/events/
I’ve used Headway to create the page layout with the widget areas above the calendar.

However, I need the event listings page to have a more traditional layout like this:
http://www.lawrencekids.net/event/jubilee-music-class-at-lol/2012-09-06/

Please note that these are two completely different websites. I’m using the links to show what I want to accomplish.

One idea I have would be to hard code the gridview template to show the widget areas that I want so that the plug-in could just use the page template I want for the individual event listings. Is that possible?

Is there another way to get ECP to utilize different layout templates for the grid vs. single event listings? I’m open to any ideas and really don’t mind messing with the code and/or learning something new to make this happen.

Thanks again,
Beth

Thanks Barry. I’m probably not explaining it well. Basically, I need a different page layout for one page (the page that displays the grid calendar) and another page layout for the “posts”, i.e. the event details pages. I bet there’s a relatively easy way to do this with either the template tags or some custom code within the ECP plug-in files, but I need some help getting there.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Hi Michelle and Rob,

I have an additional question about making the Calendar more responsive. I currently run the grid view on my homepage and love it. However, my ideal situation (right now) would be that mobile viewers would be automatically given the event list view instead.

Are there resources already for this kind of option? If not, I’d so appreciate some help figuring out how to code this.

Thanks!
