Responsive Grid View

    This is a “pre-sale” question as the calendar I go with I will need to purchase the premium option. I was trying out your free version and noticed the grid/monthly view isn’t very responsive. I have tried out 2 others where the actual text / events turn into dots when the grid calendar is viewed in either a widget area or on a small screen. i’m concerned that your calendar does not do this. It basically just “smushes” all the text into thin tiny boxes, making it unreadable. Am I missing something? Is it responsive? If so, can you point me to an example so I can test it out myself? Thanks!

    Since your support forums are closed (you direct everyone here), and unfortunately that means “pre-sale questions” as well, you give me no choice but to ask an important question here. Is your grid/calendar view responsive? From what I see, when viewed on smaller devices or in widget areas, the text inside each box just scrunches up to try and fit inside the smaller cell/box. A few other calendar plugin developers solve this problem by having a breaking point where the text simply turns into dots. A dot indicates there is an event on that day. When you hover over a dot, a “tooltip” appears with the information. This makes for an elegant and seamless transition from full-width desktop view to mobile view. Does your calendar do this or something similar? I need to know before I download and use it because I also need to purchase the premium version. I don’t see where you calendar has this feature but I wanted to give you a chance to prove me wrong before I give up and move on to another plugin. Please respond one way or the other.

    Hi kdunham,

    Our views are not fully responsive. Agenda, Stream and Posterboard adapt to small screens well but Month and Week views don’t.

    One possible workaround is placing to calendars on one page and setting different views for them (ex. Month for desktop and Stream for mobile). One of them can be shown and other one is hidden with CSS. Of course it will make the page loading slower, will increase the traffic and not an ideal solution.

    A good way to help us prioritise a feature (like making views responsive) would be creating an idea here: https://ideas.time.ly/ so other people can vote for it or add comments. We appreciate if you decide to help us by creating an “idea” there.
