How To Force Calendar Display to Month Layout By Default

Hello,

How do I force the calendar to display the month layout by default?

Also seeking to hire someone to work a bit of CSS magic on the calendar layout for a client. Is there a jobs board for EE anywhere?

Thanks!

To clarify, I am referring to calendar v3.2.1p

Hi Richard, the calendar’s shortcode defaults to a calendar layout display by default:

What is the shortcode that you are using?

Thanks Lorenzo.

Client reverted to version 3.

Found the code that works [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR cal_view=”month”]

However, they would like for the Saturday column to be double width and 2 columns of events.

Apparently they have a lot of classes on that one day and need the calendar to adjust Saturday column width and organize into two columns on Saturday alphabetized by event titles.

Is this something that can be accomplished via some custom CSS? If so, can you assist?

Thanks

Hi Richard,

This will increase the width of a particular column (Saturday in this case)

.fc-sat { width: 400px; }

The problem lies with the events. As they are placed via JavaScript, getting them into a two column list with CSS would need them to be positioned relative, however that will mess up how the JavaScript displays them.

I can’t see a way of making them appear in 2 columns like you want without modifying the JavaScript that makes the calendar work. Even then I’m (personally) not sure how you would go about it.

The closest thing I found was this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14607470/fullcalendar-event-placement-and-layout
