Is there any alternate calendar plugins that show event espresso events? Fullcalendar js isn’t working well, or at all when combined with http://codecanyon.net/item/pullout-widgets/1810209
I have a pullout setup with a text widget. I added the same shortcode from my calendar page to the text widget. Wrapped that shortcode in a div with inline css, and then made sure that in the calendar settings the home page id was added to load all the files.
When I open the pullout the calendar header with today, next, prev is there. It’s not until I click one of those buttons or resize my browser horizontally or vertically that the calendar renders.
So the calendar won’t render in the pullout until the browser width or height changes. The developer of pullouts gave some jquery to run in script tags to try and get this working. jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('.pullout-button').live('click', function(){
jQuery('#espresso_calendar').fullCalendar({weekends: false});
});
});
I’ve researched and tried many different code snippets, edited calendar files, updated to the latest fullcalendar.js, put all kinds of code into the text widget(including php); to no available resolution.
At this point if I can’t get it to render properly I still want to use event espresso but with an alternative calendar.
I’ve been struggling with this situation for several days.

Hi Chris,
I’m sorry to hear about all the trouble that you’re having with trying to get the calendar to render inside of a pullwidget widget. We haven’t integrated any other Calendar plugins to work with Event Espresso.
Have you tried using the calendar widget as an alternative to using the calendar shortcode in a widget?

When using the event espresso calendar widget only the title shows up in the pullout when employing that method. Using the widget I’m unable to wrap it in a div with inline css styles to create its position.
I haven’t discovered why the calendar only renders via shortcode in text widget set to be a pullout when the browser gets re-sized, or the today, next, prev, a calendar control button gets clicked.
I opened a support ticket with http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/ and manually updated to the latest fullcalendar.min.js.
I don’t know if I’m waiting for an update to the calendar from event espresso or Adam Shaw. I’m willing to try most any possible solution or an alternate calendar.

Hi Chris,
Here is one possible alternative to the pullout widget plugin:

This plugin has been tested to work with the calendar widget.

Josh this is great! The free version of this shows the calendar fine; without having to re-size the browser or click anything to get it to render.
I sent a message over to the developer of pullout widgets to let him know that the calendar renders fine with this free plugin. I’m hoping after hes checks into this he can push out an update. Good find Josh.
