More than one color for categories?

Hi,
Is it possible to have more than one color for an event with multiple categories? Or does it only default to the category listed first? For example, I have events that I’d like to categorize as both “concerts” and “free.” Right now they are all color-coded as concerts (blue), but I’d also like them to show up as free (yellow).
Thanks!

Hi Megin,

Currently not, EE will use the colour set on the first category it finds (based on ID).

But if I understand correctly, I’m interested in how you’d like for this to work. How would it display both colours on the calendar?

Good question. I could envision colors being split left/right or top/bottom. Although I think the best/easiest way to accomplish it would be to have an outline around the box. So using the colors above a concert that was free would be a blue box with a yellow outline. Make sense?

Thanks for the help ๐Ÿ™‚

A follow up question: is it possible to exclude one category from the category legend?

You can use some CSS to hide it, like so:

#ee-category-legend-ul #ee-category-li-18 {
    display: none;
}

Will hide the category with ID 18, so just change the above ID for your specific category and add that to:

Dashboard -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS.

Will that work for you?

Hi, Tony,

That doesn’t seem to work. If I leave off the #ee-category-li-24 (in my case) the legend does not show. If I use the CSS you provided with the correct category for me nothing seems to happen. I tried with all the category IDs that I have.
Thoughts?

Can you link me to the page so I can take a look?

Based on the above it is the category with ID 24 you want to hide, correct?

Yes, ID 24, please ๐Ÿ™‚

My apologies, there’s a copy paste error in my CSS above, you need:

#ee-category-legend-ul #ee-category-legend-li-24 {
    display: none;
}
