[EventCalendar] EventCalendar Output Option

[Thomas R. Leith]

I'm not sure whether this is a "feature request" or whether I'm really
looking for a different plugin.

 

My organization's Calendar of Events is sparse: at most about 30 events per
year. Most people just want to know when the next few are coming up: they
don't necessarily want to browse through the whole year looking to see what
days events are happening.

 

Could there be a different output style that looks like a text widget, but
it has links to the event posts? Maybe it could display something like:

 

17-Apr  Education Event

25-Apr  Board Meeting

15-May Networking Event 

16-May Education Event

30-May Board Meeting

6-Jun     KC Planning Meeting

.

 

When the time of the topmost event comes, it disappears from the top of the
list, and the next one appears at the bottom. Maybe it could scroll so you
could see every event that's scheduled. I'm not sure whether it's possible
to create a link to an "unpublished" or "future" post - this isn't strictly
necessary, only that the dates & titles show up for all the future events.

 

For extra credit, add a filter to the widget to let me say "display only
events tagged in the KC Category". To be really, really cool, there'd be a
set of radio buttons where I could choose a few categories. And to be even
cooler than that, place a cookie to remember the default event filter for
each visitor/member.

 

I am just beginning to understand WordPress. If you want to have a gander at
what I'm trying to accomplish look here: http://moheg.org
