Feature request – "Jump to Month"

thanks, I’m going to let the devs know about this.

That would be a very welcome feature indeed!

Another vote for this feature. We have a user who frequently enters bookings many months in advance. Her previous calendar tool displayed a drop-down of months for a year ahead. That’s not the only way to do it, but some quicker mechanism would make her very happy.

This is a most needed feature to use the full calendar. Scrolling the calendar month to month is very slow and not user friendly. A drop down of 12 months would be enough. In December you can always jump to next year so you don’t need a year selector. Please include this feature in the next update!

Add another vote ??

Hi everyone, just to let you know I’ve read your request, and it is added as a feature to implement.

However, bear in mind that this will take some time to implement, and I’ll explain why:

We’re implementing the FullCalendar library in WordPress. What you’re asking for isn’t a FullCalendar feature, due to time constraints and other commitments it’s just not something I’d be able to add anytime soon. The priority would be to implement all the features FC makes available.

Now… there is one possibility which IS possible with FullCalendar, which is adding a next/previous year. How would that work for you?

You can test it out immediately by replacing line 9 in includes/js/inline.js with:

left: 'prevYear,prev,next,nextYear today',

Was just looking into how this could be done, turns out you can do it without touching core code, just add this PHP somewhere e.g. your theme functions.php file:

function my_wp_fullcalendar_header_yearskip(){
	?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).on('wpfc_fullcalendar_args', function( e, options ){
    	options.header.left = 'prevYear,prev,next,nextYear today';
    });
    </script>
    <?php
}
add_action('wp_footer','my_wp_fullcalendar_header_yearskip', 1);

next update you’ll be able to do it this way:

function my_wpfc_calendar_header_vars( $header ){
	$header->left = 'prevYear,prev,next,nextYear today';
	return $header;
}
add_filter('wpfc_calendar_header_vars', 'my_wpfc_calendar_header_vars');

further down the line, we can look into creating a ui for this in the settings page. Currently you can only control the right side, which is the ‘Available Views’ option in the settings of WPFC.

Thanks, Marcus.

However, it is much less useful to be able to jump a full year than to jump to a specific month, which was the original request. My scheduling coordinator wants to be able to jump from today to three months from now or four months from now more often that to June of 2017.
