Hi,

It is possible to do this, but it requires editing a core files in the calendar add on whihc we do not recommned. Any updates to the add on will over write the changes.

If you still wish to do this, then in the calendar add on, edit the espresso-calendar.php file.

Approx line 850 (based on calendar 2.0.6.1) you will see the following code:

								if( ee_parentHeight < ee_newHeight ) {
									ee_newHeight = ee_newHeight + 30;
									dayCnt.parents('tr').height( ee_newHeight ).css({ 'height' : ee_newHeight + 'px' });
								}
							
							}
						});

					},
					ee_imgTimeout
				);

			});

Change the code so that it reads this:

								if( ee_parentHeight < ee_newHeight ) {
									ee_newHeight = ee_newHeight + 30;
									dayCnt.parents('tr').height( ee_newHeight ).css({ 'height' : ee_newHeight + 'px' });
								}
							
							}
						});

					},
					ee_imgTimeout
				);

$('#espresso_calendar').fullCalendar('gotoDate', 2013, 2, 21);

			});

In this new piece of code the date is represented as 2013, 2, 21 (year, month, day). Please note that the Month starts at 0, so January is 0, February is 1, etc.

Hi Aaron,

Not possible to my knowledge, at least not without customising the calendar shortcode and javascript to basically create a new function (set date).

I will add this to the feature request list but cannot guarantee inclusion.

If it is something paramount to your business needs I would suggest contacting one of our recommended developers to see if its something they can custom build for you – https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/

Hi Aaron,

The [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode uses the same code base, regardless of view type, so you would have to create a completely new shortcode.

It would be better in my opinion to extend the shortcode and add in a new attribute, for example [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR start_date=”2013-07-02″] but as mentioned that would require some customisation of the calendar add on, as you would need to modify several of the files.

I don’t believe it will be something we will include just yet, however it has potential to be included when we re-write the calendar add on for 4.X though of course I cannot promise its inclusion.

If you were to modify the plugin to show the month change which would show on every calendar, the changes need to go in espresso-calendar.php which is located in the espresso-calendar folder in the plugins folder.

Hi,

Can you paste your espresso-calendar.php into a Pastebin, that will allow me to see what you have done.

That is correct, it works for me.

What version of Event Espresso, the Calendar and importantly jQuery are you using? Have you cleared your cache after changing the code?

Good thinking!

 var pathname = window.location.pathname;
 console.log(pathname);
 if(pathname == "/calendar/") {
                        $('#espresso_calendar').fullCalendar('gotoDate', 2013, 10, 13);
	}
 else if(pathname == "/calendar2/") {
                        $('#espresso_calendar').fullCalendar('gotoDate', 2013, 0, 13);
	}
	else {}
