Good morning,

I need to restyle the base calendar and using firebug I created my list of custom style, but when paste them into the themes custom style sheet nothing changes. I tried scanning through the old posts couldn’t come up with the answer.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Hi Jan,

The Calendar uses Themeroller for styling. You can create your own themeroller styles following the guide here

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-create-custom-themeroller-styles/

You can also disable the themetroller styles under Event Espresso -> Template Settings. You’ll see Stylesheet Options. Set ‘Use Themeroller Style Sheets’ to No and save settings.

Themeroller is used in more than just the calendar so this may effect other parts of the site.

This is a bit confusing as it does not have the calendar as an element to style to see the effects. The style sheets for the calendar are quite specific.

I don’t understand why I’ve been able to change css styling on other parts of event expresso including category color and the rollover popup window on the calendar by editing the custom CSS style sheet.

Using firebug these are the styles I need to change. Can I just slip them in somewhere?

.ui-widget-header {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #BBBBBB;
    border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
    color: #222222;
    font-weight: bold;
}

.fc-grid th {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-weight: normal;
    text-align: center;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

.fc-grid .fc-day-number {
    background-color: #CCCCCC;
    color: #666666;
    float: right;
    font-size: 16px;
    padding: 0 1px 1px 2px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 96%;
}

.fc-border-separate th, .fc-border-separate td {
    border-width: 0;
}

.fc-border-separate th.fc-last, .fc-border-separate td.fc-last {
    border-right-width: 0;
}

.ui-state-active, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-active, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-active {
    border: 3px solid #DC2C1F;
}

.ui-corner-all, .ui-corner-bottom, .ui-corner-left, .ui-corner-bl {

Hi Jan,

Try a plugin called My Custom CSS, it makes adding CSS very easy. Also when I added your above code to that plugin it gave me a calendar like so http://d.pr/i/gqZq

Thanks Dean, I’ll try it. Is there any way I can change the little arrow navigation icons through the CSS?

Very strange. The calendar looks right on the link you sent, but when I place it in the Custom CSS field nothing happens?

When I pasted it into the beginning of the custom css it worked. Somethings amiss in my custom css. I’ll find it. Thanks.

Is there a problem with IE8. The calendar is coming up as a blank spot only in IE.

Alls good except the IE8 problem.

Hi,

The calendar displays ok on IE8 for me – are you using an emulator or compatibility mode?

You may need to add a little CSS, for IE8 users (its in the works to fix)

.reg_now { background-color: #0d89b1; }

Thanks Dean. She had it in compatibility mode.

I appreciate all of the help you guys have given. It’s hard managing all of the never ending puzzle pieces to this business. You guys go above and beyond what I’ve come to expect. So heart felt thanks to the team at Event Expresso. Keep up the great work.

I’m currently involved on a new project that will combine calendars, event management, event sales, membership and a store. I’m planning on using Event Expresso and Woocommerce for the store. Can you recommend a management plugin that that works well with EE? This is for a regional organization whose members are tourists, regional families and businesses, local volunteers, etc. Memberships will involve log-in, fundraising, newsletters, access to members programs tying to events and calendars to name a few functions on the list.

Best regards,

PHal51

Thank you! That is most appreciated!

Management in what way? Like a membership plugin? If so S2Member or Justin Tadlocks Members, both good but in different ways.
