The view point is what makes the mobile layout usable on the main page of the site.. The fact that its NOT RESPONSIVE, does NOT change if the page size is changed, makes it usable. This is the mini calendar.

The calendar used on the site main page – landing page – is not the same as the one on the Main Calendar page. The Main Calendar also requires that absolutely NO layout changes are made when its page size is changed. In this instance responsiveness makes the Main Calendar unusable when the page is sized down to where the layout changes. On a desktop there are two stages of this, culminating in the single column, which is totally useless.

Responsiveness is NOT a universally desirable attribute. In this case it renders the Main Calendar page difficult, to unusable, when the page is sized down to some certain size. Please take a look. Can YOU use this calendar at all, once the page is narrowed to where it changes the layout to one column? This is why the layout needs to be unaffected by page size. The change needs only to be the addition of scroll bars to enable navigation across and down in any window size.

“I’m mostly curious how the table is usable on mobile without being responsive; I can appreciate that the layout could be easier, but how do you actually read it? On a mobile device, the cells are so narrow that they become fairly unreadable, in my experience.”

Go to bowlingquest.com and check it out. The”table” is totally usable as needed on both mobile and desktop. I have experienced zero problems with it since applying viewpoint. The mini calendar is used here.

The issue is with the main calendar on page http://bowlingquest.com/?page_id=55550. The Main Calendar is totally unusable on a mobile device and only marginally usable on a desktop due to the changes in layout when the screen is narrowed!

In addition there needs to be more ability to easily add or delete elements and change the positions and sizes of any and/or, all, elements in the cells of the main calendar, without complicated, cryptic, css.

On a desktop monitor, it looks like the layout changes to a single column, becoming unusable, when the screen is narrowed to about 7 inches wide. The day header also changes to show the number of events on that day. This is where the calendar needs to be in a viewport like window, scrolling both horizontally as well as vertically, not changing layout at all.

Just noticing that text begins to hang outside the calendar boxes at about 10 inches wide or less.

Needing to have NO layout changes period, no matter the size.

Resizing responsively is needed but without layout changes.

I’m mostly curious how the table is usable on mobile without being responsive

The user can stretch, slide, magnify. Its not unresponsive, it just doesn’t change layout. Try it.

Thank you.

Thank you. Gotta try that.

Good that you’re not opposed to a Lite version. Please keep that in the back of your head, tho.

Just wanted to let you know how difficult My Calendar is for non-programmers. It’s clear that its too complex for the general public. My site is locked into it right now from being designed around it from neolithic times. Rebuilding is hundreds of hours here too.

The site itself is not a non-profit, it just doesn’t make any money.

Thank you.

Liked “but you can certainly do it.” but no, I dont understand enough about css to make that happen.

The file I have does not have that line with that code. There is a section called “/* Base responsive styles. Migrated to main plugin 12/10/2023 */” Thats the only use of the word “responsive” in the entire file. Is there a code that can be copied and pasted into it that will stop the responsiveness? If so, what and where?

For the next release, there will be an easier way; I’m adding a shortcode attribute that can be used to add a custom class, and if you use the class ‘disable-responsive’, that will disable the responsive behaviors.

How about a Simple checkbox? Check for responsive, uncheck for not. For us non-programmers who would like to use My Calendar too. The full table on mobile device is much easier for our particular set of disabilities (peripheral neuropathy – with shakes, among other manifestations) than having the layout ever change.

Where/What is the template that controls the Main Calendar? When I make changes to the shortcode for the calendar, the template changes the details popup, not the calendar itself. The above=, below=, time=, and weekends=, all effect the calendar, but the template= doesn’t.

My Calendar Version in use might be 3.5.18.

WordPress version is 6.6.2.

I think the PHP version is 7.9.

Newer versions of each have been tried and these are the latest that work on this site.

I was thinking that the aforementioned Lite version might be the/a, free version, this version become premium, and the Pro version a step above that. Just an idea from not being a programmer. Im in a world of Check boxes, fill-ins, and pull downs.

Icon size and placement is very important to those of us with peripheral neuropathy.
