EE4 Category Color issue

Hi,

I have 3 categories and have set each to be a different color in the settings. I notice in the general calendar settings there is also a more generic option to color the background and text which on testing seems to apply to all events regardless of the category type.

So how do you get the individual colors for categories to display? I’m tried switching the generic option off and all events have a default red text on white background and I’ve set it to on and picked black text on white background which changes them all. I cannot get the category color to display.

Regards
Gary

Hi,

The category colors are applied first and the global option is applied if a category does not have a color set. If an event does not have a category set, then it will be assigned to the uncategorized category automatically.

In the screenshot above, purple is the global option. Red is set on one category and grey is set on the uncategorized category.

Here is another screenshot with the color on uncategorized turned off. This sets it to use purple which is set a the global option:

Hi,

Ok understood so whatever I set global to will apply only to categories where no other color was selected. In my case I only have three categories and each has its own color assigned. These do not appear in the calendar though.

Any ideas why?

Hi Gary,
I made a screencast video of how to do calendar category colors in EE4 here:
