Hello @JohnP3455 ,

 

Can you elaborate on what it is you're wanting to do in regards to the event calendar

Hi William,

 

The photo i attached is the only look if you embed your events on to your website. Would it be possible to customize this look (photos, colors, fonts) or turn it into a calendar that you can embed to our website?

The widget is explicitly made to simply list the events and link to their corresponding registration pages, alongside any of the other selectable details. Beyond those selectable elements, the widget doesn't have any further customization from within the account.

 

The calendar is something that is only available for linking to at this time, not as a widget that can be coded into websites.

 

Does the existing calendar function fulfill what you're wanting for "a calendar view that is responsive?" Or, are you expecting full color and other customization options regarding the widget's source code?

My wish is to have a calendar widget that can be coded to websites with greater customizations so it'll blend it with the web design.

 

As for the calendar, it doesn't have customizable elements that will help visitors identify the organization( logo, branding colours). And I don't see an option to link the register button to a landing page instead of straight to registration.

Thank you very much for the follow-up info. I've tracked some of the existing feature requests on this topic, and a new one specifically for calendar widget customization. I've updated the status of this idea to more accurately reflect its current status with our engineering team, and also made changes to the subject line in order for it to be more easily found.

 

We can't guarantee a commitment to deliver on this feature request, but it should indicate some awareness that we have heard your feedback and could be taken under consideration for a future release.
