Yes, we have the pro version. Thanks so much for anything you can do. We will be happy to compensate you for your time.

Hi Andy, you are correct we have a Hours of Operation list on our homepage. We are looking to move away from that to a color coded calendar view.

Thanks for sharing the short code plugin. It’s great, however, the short code for the calendar is the mini-calendar which removes the color coding.

I know when I talk about shortcodes and widgets that is outside of this plugin. But do you think we could engage your services to customize your plugin so it is compatible with the mini calendar?

Here is a mockup of what we are envisioning for our home page. https://www.ripleyaquariums.com/canada/files/2014/08/homepage2.png

Thanks again for all your help. We have been through every available events plugin and have not found something that meets our needs. Our web development team is small and we don’t have time to custom develop pieces like this. Besides our 3 aquarium sites, we also run the site for ripleys.com and the 20+ sites for ripleys.com/attractions

It would be well worth it to us to contract out the development of piece.

Hello, so we thought we had it resolved. It works beautifully on the calendar page. However, without short codes and no widget option for the full calendar, we are unable to install on our home page. The widgetized version of the calendar is still the mini view even with your code snippet. Any thoughts on how to make the full calendar portable?

If not, we are still open to discussing custom development.

Hello, so just tested your suggestion and I think we can make it work! With a little extra styling we should be able to get it to where we need it to be.

Thanks so much for your input. Very helpful.

I don’t believe that will work. We want the solution to be responsive. Our website is responsive and the majority of our traffic is coming in from mobile.

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply.

We intend to use this as an hour of operations calendar rather than an events solution. We run a busy attraction which often has last minute buyouts, so we need a flexible solution that can let us quickly update hours. A single color for all events, or hard coding colors won’t work.

We want an at a glance color coded calendar that displays our hours. The hours blocks are our categories.

My company has been looking at many solutions, and this one is the closest one we have found, minus the loss of color when minimized.

We are very much interested in hiring someone to custom develop this piece. We would love to talk offline to give you more detail as to what we are looking for and to discuss a quote.

Here is a link to what we have done so far so you can get a better idea of what we are trying to accomplish. https://www.ripleyaquariums.com/canada/calendar/2014-08/

Thanks again for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
