More Mobile Responsive
Design Features
We know how important it is for calendars to function well on mobile devices, especially for our higher ed customers and their constituents.
We continue to add many new features to make Trumba calendars on mobile even better.
|
|
Mobile Calendar View: We've added a mobile table view that is pre-configured to display well on smaller mobile screens. You can use the normal table view for your full site and the mobile table view for your mobile site, all from the same publication. The new Mobile Event Detail view is also configured to ensure optimal display on mobile devices.
Mobile Event Actions: Our Event Action feature provides actions such as Add to my Calendar, Reminders, Forward to Friends, Event Registration and more. We have updated the Event Action displays to use mobile responsive design so that the display is automatically optimized for mobile devices.
| |
Detect Current Location: The location search spud supports automatically detecting the visitor's location when searching for nearby events. This feature is enabled on mobile devices but can also be enabled for desktop computers. See the Location Search spuds help topic for more information.
|
| |
Also, our hosted calendar views on trumba.com now support mobile responsive design to automatically collapse the left controls, leaving more room for the calendar content while still providing a way to quickly access the controls through a link.
|
The hosted view is a great tool for testing your published calendar before embedding it in your website and now supports testing of mobile views as well, so you can easily make sure that your calendars looks great on screens of any size.

More Ways to Design
Custom Calendars
| | |
We have added several features that help you customize spuds so you can design your calendars to match your website and style preferences.
Here are just a few...
Tabbed View Chooser
The view chooser is a control spud your site visitors to display events in different ways by switching between calendar views. The tabbed view chooser displays available calendar views as a set of tabs. This spud can be included above your main calendar spud to provide an easy way to switch between views and further customize your calendar design.
For details about setting up the view chooser spud see the Help topic.
|
Custom Date Icons
|  |
You can add a custom date icon to promotion spuds to show the event start date as a recognizable calendar icon. These date icons can replace event start dates or appear along with them. When designing date icons you can start from a default design and customize background and border colors, fonts and more, or you can upload your own date icon image and customize the month, date and day of week text.
For more information about setting up date icons see the Help topic.
Rounded Corners
 |
You can also customize event and object details popups and many control and promotion spuds by rounding border corners.
You can set the width and color of the border, providing another way to stylize elements of your calendar according to your design preferences.
|
For details about setting up rounded corners see the Help topic.
For more ideas about how to customize other spuds in a variety of ways
For assistance contact Sales.

Promote your events
with Disqus comments
| |
We recently added support for embedding the Disqus.com comment service at the bottom of event and object detail views. You can make your events more interesting and shareable by letting visitors comment on them with Disqus or the Facebook comments plugin.
For more information see our Help topic on enabling comments.
