Overview
Calendars that show one month at a time make it hard to see the shape of a whole year. Visitors have to page back and forth to find what is on. This add-on compresses 12 months into a single grid, with colored circles that reflect how many events fall on each day. People can spot busy stretches at a glance.
From the grid, a visitor can click a month to open its event listings, or click a date to see that day's events in a lightbox window. Hovering over a date shows up to three event previews or a simple event count. It works with EventON's filtering, so users can narrow the year by category or custom criteria. It suits venues, tourism boards and organizations with events all year.
Features
- Full year in one grid: All 12 months of events appear together in one easy-to-navigate grid, giving visitors a view of your annual schedule without paging through months.
- Clickable months: Each month in the grid can be clicked to open a detailed event listing, so the main calendar page stays uncluttered.
- Hover previews on dates: Hovering over a date circle reveals up to three event previews or a simple event count, letting users check a day's highlights quickly.
- Heat-style date circles: Color-coded circles reflect event density in a heat map style, guiding visitors toward the busiest days of the year.
- Lightbox for daily events: Clicking a date opens a lightbox window listing every event scheduled for that day, with no page reload.
- Customizable visual styles: Colors, fonts and grid styles can be adjusted in the EventON settings so the yearly view matches your site's branding and design.
- Animated event loading: Date circles that contain events animate in with a slight delay, which draws attention to the days that have something on.
- Filtering and ticket compatibility: Visitors can filter yearly events by category and custom criteria. It is also compatible with the Event Tickets Add-on, so tickets can be sold from the yearly calendar.
Best for
- Event planners managing events across a full year
- Venues and tourism boards with busy calendars
- Organizations already running the EventON calendar
