Cafe Announcements 📣 New cafe Feature: Gig calendar

[Pete Thomas]

This is experimental while we test the calendar software so currently is just for supporters. Please note while we test can you please keep the entries to a maximum of one per week (I know you have 40 gigs a month but that could swamp the view while we are testing and we would need to find a different way to do this)

Please do add your gigs, it doesn't matter what part of the world you are in but please give the address and relevant contact details in the thread.

How do I add to calendar then?​

To add an entry create a thread in the Members' gigs & releases forum and link it to the calendar by clicking on the three lovely dots at the top of the thread:



Please don't put the date in the title as it is superfluous there, and keep titles as short as possible because that's what ends up in the calendar. If you have a gig every day please don't put them all in. it will get flooded, max 1 per week may be good while we are testing.

The calendar itself is here

Calendar Event list is shown as a widget in various places around the forum (thread list, thread view etc.)

Would a weekly or monthly view be possible?

Sorry, the only view available is monthly

Would a grid layout instead of list be feasible?

I'm not sure what you mean, this is what I would call a grid:

 

[Vetinari]

Yes, that's what I meant.

 

[Pete Thomas]

Yes, that's what I meant.

I don't understand That's what we have

Just comes up as a list of days on my android tablet

 

[Vetinari]

yes, that is by design

It will show as a grid on desktop browsers, but as websites need to be "responsive" for all usersthey generally have to adapt for when viewed on tablets and mobiles because a table becomes unusable with a grid unless the font becomes teeny

I believe most browsers on tablets and phones have a "view desktop mode"so maybe try that.

Works great using Duckduck go but not in chrome.
