Calendar duplicated & widget issues (ID entered in settings)

Hi all, I’ve got two issues with the calendar, the first is that the calendar shows twice on my calendar page – I have entered the page ID in to the settings, the widget doesn’t load on that page but its still duplicated.

Then there are two issues with my widget.
When the ID is not entered in to the settings, the widget displays ok but every event is just a blue block and the tool tips that show the event detail don’t show.

When the ID is entered in to the settings the entire layout of the widget is broken and it looks awful!!

Any ideas please??

Thanks 🙂

Hi Zoe,

With the old calendar if you want to use the widget you’ll need to leave the Page(s) Displaying the Calendar setting in the main calendar settings blank. The reason for this is when the calendar widget is used, the calendar gets displayed on every page.

We’re about to release a new version of the calendar that removes the need to set either of those options because the new version has fixes that resolves the underlying issues that required the page ID options to be there in the first place. You can download the beta version of the calendar from your account page if you opt in to the pre-release channel.

Brill, I’ve downloadd the beta calendar and it works loads better.

My events in the widget still only show up as little blue boxes though (the tooltips work a treat), is there a way to customise these blue boxes in the css? I’d quite like to add a little icon in them and change the colour but am struggling to locate the container/class for the blue boxes.

Cheers!

Hi Zoe,

The blue colour actually comes from the Calendar Settings – the widget is in reality just a mini calendar. So by changing the “Use Color Pickers” to Yes and selecting a colour, it will change the default blue to whatever, but this will be on both the main calendar and the widget.

If you want to go the CSS route, this worked for me and didnt affect the main calendar.

#espresso_calendar.calendar_widget .fc-event {
background-color: #000 !important;
background-image: url(url/to/image.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center; 
}
