Event 'color' not working properly.

    10 years, 7 months ago

    Used the following shortcode on a page:

    [eo_fullcalendar headerLeft=’prev,next today’ headerCenter=’Event Calendar’ headerRight=’month,agendaWeek’]

    Theme is Weaver II.

    Using different colors for the categories. The colors extend as a bar from the start date to the end of the week. Two events, two colored bars for the first week. The second week another two bars are started , the third week …

    URL for site: kencooperjr.com and select Calendar Page link in menu bar.

    The events Calendar widget seems to work – do have a warning regarding the theme which will be fixed later.

    THANKS for your help – Ken Cooper

    Hi Ken,

    I couldn’t see the calendar as the shortcode eo_fullcalendar and headerLeft had no space between them, so it wasn’t recognised.

    What you’re describing sounds like you’ve got a recurring (weekly) event, but you’ve confused the “end date” with the “recur until” date. Please note that when entering an event, the start and end date refer to the first occurrence, and you can then repeat that according so some (or no) schedule.

    What you will probably see is that each week you’ll have a another event, until the end date, where each week the number of “rows” will reduce by 1.

    Hope that helps!

    Indeed that took care of the page calendar – THANKS.

    Next issue is the Widget Calendar. You can see this on any page except the Monthly Events page – two issues here.

    1. I left unchecked the “Include past events:” checkbox on the Appearance–>Widgets–>Events Calendar options dropdown and I still get past events, i.e. 12 and 14 AUG?

    2. Today’s date is not high-lighted. So I am looking at a widget calendar with no indication of today’s date?

    THANKS – Ken

    1. It’s the 11th… ??
    2. Styling is done entirely by the theme. It’s the same as the theme’s posts calendar. But you can style today’s date as you like:

    #wp-calendar tbody td.today{
  background: yellow;
}

    Yes – a major DUH on the date!!!!!!!!!!!

    Styling of today and event dates (a)- not a problem. Would like to do some more styling of the full calendar and the widget calendar.

    Where do I find the css selectors?

    Thanks – Ken

    I’m afraid documentation is slightly thin on the ground on classes used for calendars, so you may just have to examine the mark-up.

    With fullCalendar, events are coloured according to their category. (categories can be assigned colours). If you want to change the event’s colour, without assigning categories you can do so via this filter: https://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/hook-eventorganiser_event_color.html ).

    Stephen – will do, look at markup as needed.

    Am closing this thread as you have certainly answered my questions. THANKS a bunch. Your support has been the BEST!!!!!!!

    Regards – Ken
