    I understand, however, even with the extensive documentation and themers guide it is not possible to:
    1. List category descriptions under category titles.
    2. select more than one category at a time in the event widget
    3. utilize shortcodes
    4. import the calendar as a stand-alone tab into Facebook pages
    Am I correct or am I missing something?

    Yes, I am aware of the category descriptions, however your “fix” places the descriptions above the categories and does not allow you to add descriptions along with the categories. I did some focus testing and it was very confusing to users. I need the submission area to be as user-friendly as possible, or people will just flat not use it.

    Another shortcoming I am running into is the widget to display just an event category. It only allows you to choose one category at a time. So if I have an arts & entertainment page, and I want to display arts & entertainment events on that page, and arts & entertainment includes sub-categories like dance, theater, music, etc. I can’t do that. I can only choose one bulk category to display at a time. See where I am running into problems?

    Thanks Casey,
    At this point I am evaluating whether this calendar is even going to work for my needs. There seems to be quite a few things that should be standard like shortcodes that would make the calendar work efficiently. Not even being able to add descriptions under categories in the submission page is going to be tough as well and make it a lot less user-friendly than it needs to be.

    Okay! My bad. I see where to customize the html now. You can cross that part of my question off. 🙂

    Thanks Casey. I pasted the code in, and it works, but where do I go now to customize the html? I don’t see where that happens: http://laramiefun.com/events/community/add

    Also, I have another issue. I need to display this calendar on a tab on my Facebook page as an iframe. I tried just putting in the URL of the calendar, but the styling is terrible. I need to add it in some other way, in a page that strips out the rest of my theme elements. I found a plugin that will allow me to do it with shortcodes, but on further checking your forums, I see that this calendar does not support shortcodes. 🙁 Is there another way to make this happen?
    Thanks.
