How-to on using and managing Calendar Event Types, a Sueetie AddonPack enhancement to the Sueetie Community Calendar. Sueetie Calendars are included in the
Sueetie Premium Edition.What are Calendar Event Types?
Calendar Event Types are a Sueetie AddonPack Enhancement to the Community Calendar giving you the ability to assign each event an Event Type, or Category if you prefer. Not only that, but you can control the display of each type of event or filter a calendar display by event type.
You can see Event Types on display here at Sueetie.com. The two types of events which define the activity in the Sueetie Community currently are when Sueetie Framework Updates are announced and when new Sueetie Releases occur. Here's a screenshot, with update announcements in red and releases in black.
You will also notice that the calendar is filterable by event type.
Managing Event Types and the CSS Connection¶
Event Types are managed in the Sueetie AddonPack Adminstration area. Here's a screenshot of the Event Type Admin page.
As for the CSS Connection, the Event Type Code entered becomes the unique CSS Class Name for events of that type and any properties added to or replacing the event's default CSS properties. In the example above for Sueetie Releases, the CSS Class Name is "CalReleaseEvent." That class is typically placed in your theme's style/fullCalendar.css. Here's the complete Sueetie.com CSS for release event types.
.CalReleaseEvent a
{
background-color: #000;
border-color: #000;
border: none;
}
Assigning Event Types
Event Types can be assigned whenever an event is created, in the Sueetie Calendar Control or on the Calendar Popup Editors. Let's look at the Popup Editor first.
The Popup Editor is enabled when the Calendar's EditMode is enabled. Assigning Event Types with the Popup Editor looks like this. The new Event Type selector is circled.
When assigning Sueetie Content to a Calendar Event with the Calendar Control the form looks like this. You'll notice as a special bonus it is now possible to assign events to any community calendar!
