I would like to have a drop-down menu that uses javascript to allow users to select a category to display in the calendar, but I’m not sure how to call the calendar shortcode in the javascript. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hello,
You would need to use AJAX to call the PHP function that does whatever you need.

It is likely that you will need to use the do_shortcode() function within the PHP code block as well.

As the calendar is made in javascript I would also advise you to take a look at the base files, which can be found here http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/

Thanks. Before I get into the AJAX, I seem to be having trouble even getting a calendar to show up when I use a custom template. Is the following the correct way to insert a calendar into a template file:
echo do_shortcode(‘[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR cal_view=”basicWeek”]’);

That should work as long as it’s within a PHP block. If it’s not in a PHP block, it would be:
<php echo do_shortcode('[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR cal_view="basicWeek"]'); ?>
