Hi,
We’re just about ready to go with our site launch, and I’m noticing at the EE4 Calendar add-on won’t display the actual event details in the calendar. All I can see on my iPhone 5S are the outlines of the boxes for the events. Is there a list view option I can turn on somewhere?

Hi, the issue here is there is limited space for showing all of that information but I’d like to double-check that something else, isn’t happening. What happens when you click on the events on the calendar on your mobile phone?

Does the tooltip appear with information?

Hi Lorenzo,
Do you mean if I hold my thumb on an event space? When I do that, there is no tooltip.

Can you link us to the calendar page on your site please?

Also if you go to Event Espresso -> Settings -> Calendar.

You will find an option for ‘Show Tooltips’ if that is set to No then the tooltips will not show.

Tooltips are enabled, but I haven’t been using the <!–more–> tag as indicated in settings. I’m also not sure how well tooltips function on a mobile phone touch screen as a solution for someone to browse the calendar, since once you touch something and release, it’s going to take you to that item anyway.

Hi Brent,

You might try hiding the calendar from small screens with a media query, and display a list of events instead (with an event list shortcode on the same page). The calendar is very small on small screens, and the text that displays event names will not fit within those small boxes.

Here’s some example CSS you can add to your stylesheet:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px){
#espresso_calendar{
display:none;
}
}
/* optionally hide the event list on large screens */
@media only screen and (min-width: 767px){
.cal-page-event-list{
display:none;
}
}

That second rule will target the event list if you wrap the event list shortcode with a cal-page-event-list div class. In EE4 that will look like this:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS]
