Element for event schedules?

Posted in: Newsmag

Suggestion: An element that might be really useful would be one set up for a schedule of events — date, event name, event place in a pre-formatted list that’s quick to fill out. I’m trying to construct one for events going on in our community and I expect that if all goes well, I’ll get a lot of submissions that would be laborious to enter if there’s not a pre-formatted element. What do you think?

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion! At the moment, the theme does not have any such functionality, sorry! As a quick solution, you can check the following topic and try to check the plugins from there and see if it will work as expected. https://www.cloudways.com/blog/best-wordpress-calendar-plugins/
I have added to our list of improvements but we cannot say for sure if it will be or not implemented in our theme, sorry!

Thank you for your message!

I agree 100%.

It seems this theme does lack many of what I would consider to be standard features to be considered a full newspaper theme.

This is more of a magazine, in my opinion.

If I did find a good calendar plugin, how would I have the calendar widget inserted onto a page using tagdiv composer? Is there a way to populate a column or box with a short code or somehow get the calendar to display?

Just to reply to myself – I got my calendar widget to display. I did indeed simply put in the short code for the calendar widget into the page. Before, or instead of editing the page with tagdiv composer, edit the page normally with the WordPress editor, and you will see lots of short codes for tagdiv. Just insert your short code in the appropriate spot.

I used a Block Text With Title block and it looks like this (the ai1ec shortcode is for my calendar):

[td_block_text_with_title custom_title=”Calendar”][ai1ec view=”agenda” display_filters=”false”][/td_block_text_with_title]

Hi,

If you want to use such a plugin with that functionality, please notice that all of the generated shortcodes should have to be added inside a Column Text or Text with Title element. Being untested plugin, notice that we cannot say for sure if it will work or not as expected with our theme, sorry!

Thank you!
