EventCalendarPro - where's the CSS?

I'm working with EventCalendarPro for the first time for a new client; the default grey doesn't work well with the color scheme, but I don't seem to be able to figure out what CSS will work, even with FireBug - help?

Hi there. The Event Calendar Pro CSS is located in the file styledatacalendar.css. You'll probably want to play with the background-color choices for the different days.

Re: EventCalendarPro - where's the CSS?

Jamie, I don't think that's quite the case; looking at the grid via FireBug, those classes aren't invoked, and editing the classes isn't having any effect.  The only class I seem to be able to identify is .eventcalendar - I can get some limited formatting with it, but not nearly at the level of control I need, especially with the way everything's nested.  Do you have any example CSS for a customized Pro Calendar?

Re: EventCalendarPro - where's the CSS?

If you right click on a weekend day, and select inspect element, on the td you should see a CSS class of mpcalendarweekendday. That selector, and the others for ECP, are located in styledatacalendar.css for your skin. If changes you make there aren't being reflected immediately in your site, you may just need to turn off caching, by adding the following keys to your user.config. Touch web.config after making this change, and be sure to set these back to true for production.

   <add key="CombineCSS" value="false" />
   <add key="MinifyCSS" value="false" />
   <add key="CacheCssOnServer" value="false"/>
   <add key="CacheCssInBrowser" value="false"/>

There is one other possibility: Are you trying to style the built-in Event Calendar, rather than Event Calendar Pro? If so, those selectors are located in styleaspcalendar.css

Hope that helps.

Re: EventCalendarPro - where's the CSS?

Sorry - I realized that I needed to clarify; I'm trying to edit the header/sidebar on the week/day views, which don't seem to use the same classes.  Regular "month" view is working with the css as expected.  Any tips there?

Re: EventCalendarPro - where's the CSS?

Hi,

Unfortunately those areas do not have many, if any, classes that you can work with. You can create selectors like:

.eventdayview .modulecontent > table tbody > tr > td:first-child td {background-color: green !important;} This will make the left column with the times green on the Day View page.

Hope this gets you going in the right direction.

Joe,

Thanks - that does put me in the right direction - but what a mess! I think I'll put in a feature request to extend the .css classes to all views of the Pro Event Calendar.  The help's much appreciated!

Re: EventCalendarPro - where's the CSS?

Where do I change the text color of the day number? When I inspect the element I find  - div class ="dayNumber". Changing the font colors for "mpcalendarday" has no effect. Have I overridden this control somewhere?

Re: EventCalendarPro - where's the CSS?

Hi,

You'll have to use more specific CSS selectors and you may need different colors on different days in some cases. For example in many of the included skins in styledatacalendar.css I had to make the day number black like this, but you can use whatever colors work for you:

.mpcalendarweekendday .dayNumber a,
.mpcalendarothermonth .dayNumber a,
.mpcalendartoday .dayNumber a
{color:black;}

Note that the day numbers are links which otherwise would get their colors form other selectors for links so you have to explicitely specify the a as part of the selector as shown above.

Hope that helps,

Joe
