Order of parameters

At the moment, the fields’ order is fixed. The “theme” options cause some CSS to apply laying them out in a couple of ways, but they’re still in that order.

The order of the parameters in the shortcode shouldn’t make a difference.

Thanks. Feels like a more logical order would be:

Event title
City
Summary text
Register Now

If that’s an easy change, might be worth considering.

I agree that would make sense. The problem at this point is that people are expecting it to be the way it is, so the only way I’d dare change the order is to allow the order to be customized.

Makes sense.
I think being able to choose the order would be a valuable addition to the extension.
Thanks again for providing this.

Hey I wanted to let you know that the new version 3.0 has the option to display whatever fields you want, in whatever order. It’ll definitely require some CSS work, since it just wraps the fields in spans with various class names, but it may be a good option for you.

Thanks for the widget! I’ve used the list shortcode to make an events page, where I simply want a table-style layout showing columns for date, times, event title. I have got that info on the page but the start/end times follow immediately after the date and I’d prefer the times to be in a left-aligned column of their own (as if in a proper table). I can sort of achieve this by adding right padding or a margin to the date but the times are then out of alignment with each other (ie not all flush left at the start of the middle ‘column’. Is it possible to seprate the date/times components or achieve this with CSS please or must the dates and times run on together?

I’ve now possibly half resolved my problem. If I add a width percentage to date and time it works to make ‘columns’ (but not good in mobile screen sizes, so I will need to set those separately):

.civievent-widget-event-datetime {
width: 40%;
}
.civievent-widget-event-start-date {
width: 40%;
}
