Hello,
I have lots of events running in different locations on the same day, and right now, the calendar just lists each event and pushes the calendar down.
Is there a way to have the calendar list a (+3 events) or some such? Or just default to a “(+X events)” where X is the number of events on that day, and perhaps “clicking” that link would just be linkable. Rather than continue to list each event and cause the calendar to resize in the extreme.

You can limit the number of events displayed per day in the month view by changing the short code on the page to be:
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR max_events_per_day=3]
This will limit the display to 3 events and add a view more events link.

Josh,
I am trying to put the calendar widget on my homepage. Which means shortcode functionality is limited. Any chance there is a way to do this outside of the shortcode? Or, do you recommend a shortcode widget that would enable it?
I am using one, and when I use your shortcode, it displays this –

So since you’re trying to put the calendar within the widget area, that requires a few extra steps. Normally, you’d simply put the short code in the home page’s main content area. Since you’ve added the short code into a widget, you’ll need to add a bit of code to a custom plugin to tell the home page to load the calendar scripts and styles. Some example code follows:

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

Josh,
Excellent. I created a new plugin. Added the shortcode that you mentioned, and now it looks like this monstrosity.

Is there a way to just add the “+more” functionality to the widget you guys already have for the EE calendar?

That’s a really small space to squeeze a calendar into. Do you have a wider widget area you can display that in? The +more functionality cannot be added to the widget.

Josh,
We still run into the problem of it not being able to be dynamic enough for a mobile device, even if I put it on a page or a bigger widget, it still is not useable on mobile.
Any possible support for Gcal integration?

Not sure how Gcal integration would be the solution. But there are some built in CSS styles that will take care of the calendar on smaller screens if you put the calendar in a bigger widget.
