Events Table View Template – remove columns for mobile view

Hello,
Is there anyway to manipulate the events table view template so that there will be less columns when somebody visits the site with a mobile? The table’s current view is ok for a monitor but starts to create problems when visited with an iphone. Here is the link:

Hi Oguzhan,

We recommend using the footable version for mobile. You can set it to use the footable version by adding a shortcode parameter:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE template_file=”espresso-events-table-template-toggle.template.php”]

The documentation has a few screenshots that show examples of the footable template:

Thanks Josh. How can I tell the WP to use a different template for mobile?

Hi, you could setup some media queries in your themes CSS file or via a plugin like Reaktiv CSS Builder or My Custom CSS that would hide / show a div based on the size of the screen in use.

Here are some examples:

Hi Lorenzo,
I read through the examples, but I’m not sure how I can apply this to a specific column in the table view template? There are no div’s for each column in the template file?

Hi, this is something that you would need to create. Here is an example:

It works by checking the screen size and then hiding or showing the divs that have the shortcodes within them.

Hi Lorenzo,
Many thanks for this reply. I created the mobile version of the template, inserted the html part of the code in a text container in WP, and inserted the CSS into custom CSS.
For some reason, the css filtering doesn’t seem to work for bigger screens. In a big screen, I see all three versions, but when I connect from my mobile it works fine and I see only the mobile version.
Any suggestions?

Hello again,
I resolved the issue by adding another criteria for min-width. The issue was the retina display:)

@media all and (min-width: 960px) {

.ee-table-placeholder .one{display:block;}
.ee-table-placeholder .two{display:none;}
.ee-table-placeholder .three{display:none;}

}

Thanks anyway!
