I can add code to the Calendar Embed Code to set my default filter types. That works fine.
However that means I have to use Code Embed in WIX to add the calendar and this loses all the calendar functionality in WIX…providing only code edit control. not calendar event control.
Is there any way to edit an already installed calendars code? (installed via Elfsight->WIX installer)
Or is there any way to add a Code Snippet without it creating a whole new calendar? But only modify the already installed?
Hi there and welcome to the Community, @Jeff_Dobrow
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to apply the pre-selected filters option using the Wix integration. However, the good news is that you won’t need to create a new widget, since it’s also available in your Elfsight dashboard.
So, you just need to copy the widget’s installation code from your Elfsight dashboard, add the needed filter parameters and add the resulted code to your Wix website.
With this workaround, you’ll be able to edit your widget from your Elfsight dashboard, but not directly from Wix. This is the only solution in this case.
Please let me know if this explains things or if you have any questions left
Max,
Thank you so much!
I completely understand and see that I can do all this through the Elf dashboard.
It is not as “smooth” and unified as doing it all through WIX, however the ability to customize the embed code makes it worth it.
I will have to add our art director to the Elf Dashboard so they can also add events. We have a few staff that would normally have calendar access in WIX and now will need Elf Dash access. I suppose they can use my log in.
Thank you again.
I am just about ready to purchase for our Non-Profit, I just wanted to make sure it would do all the specific niche needs we have
Any chance for video as event images? That would make for a cool calendar…
Totally get that making all adjustments directly through Wix feels more convenient. But as you pointed out, having access to additional features - like the ability to add filter attributes via the widget’s code - is a big plus of using the Elfsight dashboard.
There are a few other benefits too, like being able to track widget updates in the What’s New section and stay in the loop with major company announcements. I hope you’ll enjoy this experience
As for the videos, unfortunately, it’s impossible to add them to the event cards now. I’ve added this idea to the Wishlist and if it gets more votes, we’ll try to think about it - Add videos to the events instead of images
not calendar event control.
