Hi I have 2 reoccurring events on my calendar here: http://revolutionbikepark.com.md-uk-1.webhostbox.net/book/

I’m looking to have the expired and full events to show in red (not in the tool tip) and open events to be green how would I go about doing this? Could do with the title of the events in the calender to take up the hole date area (if that makes sense)…

Also we have the option (question) on the booking page for people to book a “Lap Watch” but we would like to charge an additional £5 for this service, how would I go about doing this?

thank you in advance for your help.

Tom

Hi Thomas,

Regarding the calendar, I would start by going to the calendar settings and set the “Use Color Pickers” option to yes and change the background colour to green.

Then I would add some css to the themes style.css file or via a plugin like My Custom CSS, to target the expired events.

#espresso_calendar .expired { background-color:red !important; }

Regarding the watch, I would suggest checking out the Price Modifier addon – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/espresso-price-modifier/ – it looks like a good fit for your needs.

Cheers

Hi Thomas,

I checked on this and there isn’t a CSS only solution that will change the color of the event if it’s full. A class name would need to be added to the markup when the event is full before it could be changed with CSS.

I don´t follow sorry (quite new to all this) how would I go about adding a class name? Thank you for your quick reply above.

Hi Thomas,

The short answer is that it would need some code changes to the plugin to be able to do this, which is beyond general support.

The next version of the calendar add on, will show a sold out message on the tool tip when an event is full, but it still will not allow the colour to be changed based on it being full, sorry about that.

I added a ticket to look into adding this but I cannot guarantee if or when that would happen.

That’s a shame to hear. To go about it a different way is there anyway to set the event to expired when the attendee limit is reached?

Hi Thomas,

There might be, but it would require re-programming the way Event Espresso handles sold out events, they don’t automatically expire until the event date has passed.

I can recommend checking out the upcoming release of the calendar that has the new tooltip that displays “Sold out” when the event is sold out. It’s available to download from the pre-release channel on your account page after you opt in by checking the pre-release channel opt-in box.
