Add a dropdown of "users: contributors"?

    Hi all– just as there’s a dropdown on the calendar to sort by “event category”, I’d like to add a dropdown to sort by “users with the role of ‘contributor’ who have added an event to the calendar.”

    Is this possible? If so, can you please explain in simple terms how to do so? Many thanks!

  • Hi,

    I think this built-in WordPress function does pretty much what you want:

    Hi,

    Is this using WP FullCalendar Add-on? if yes, am afraid that this isn’t possible at the moment atleast wihout custom coding on your part which I can’t help you since I haven’t tried it yet.

    Yes, I’m using the Full Calendar too.

    Ok so I guess this is a good time to ask the question — why is FullCalendar a separate thing from EventsManager? I keep bumping into things that are possible with EM but not FC, and I don’t understand why FC is a standalone plugin, and not incorporated into EM. They’re both created by your company and FC only works with EM, so… why are they separate items? The limitations of FC are frustrating! Thanks…

    Full Calendar is mostly a existing jQuery calendar plugin –
    https://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/ – packaged to work with WordPress.

    Since there’s already a calendar display option in Events Manager, Full Calendar is really there for people who want to add a bit pizazz to their site – but that’s not something all users need.

    it’s also a seperate plugin because the idea is any post type (like posts) can be displayed in the calendar format. since the jQuery calendar is a seperate library it deserved its own plugin (and credit to the author)
