Pages 2.0 | Calendar Widget

This article details what the Calendar Widget is and how to manage it.

Pages 2.0 refers to the new version of Happeo Pages, released on April 2, 2025. All Happeo accounts created from this date onward use the new page editor by default.

What is the Calendar Widget?

The Calendar Widget is a new widget exclusively in Pages 2.0 that allows you to display multiple calendars in one page, and determine the visibility of the calendar by Month or Schedule view. Previously, these calendar views were independent widgets. The Calendar Widget can help manage schedules, deadlines, and important dates directly within your page.

How to manage the calendar widget

1. Navigate to the page group where the widget resides
2. Click the pencil icon at the top right corner to open the page editor
3. Hover your mouse over the widget until it is highlighted in blue, and click on it
4. Select the settings(gear) icon at the top right of the widget
5. A new window will open where you can adjust the widget's settings. You can switch between the Configure and Styles tabs to adjust what is displayed and how the content is displayed

Configure

Display specific calendars

By default, the calendar displayed is the visitor's. To view a specific calendar or multiple calendars:

1. Click the Select calendar(s) button
2. Select or search for the desired calendar(s)
3. Click Select
4. The selected calendars will appear in the Selected calendars section. To remove a calendar, click the minus icon next to its name

Note: The default calendar displayed is determined by the user's login credentials. For example, if you log in to Happeo using your Google Workspace account, your default calendar will be your Google Calendar.

Choose a calendar type

You can choose between the following calendar types:

• Month – Displays the full calendar for the current month (and other months if enabled), showing events from the selected calendars
• Schedule – Shows a scrollable list of events from the selected calendars for the current month

Month vs. schedule view: The month view provides a visual overview of your entire month's schedule, aiding in task prioritization and planning. The schedule view offers a detailed, time-based list of events, ideal for reviewing specific information and focusing on particular time periods. The best view depends on your specific needs and how you prefer to organize your time.

Adjust the widget settings

• Widget header – Add a header to the widget. Once toggled, you can type the widget’s header in the text field that appears above the widget
• Hide weekends– Remove weekends from the displayed calendar
• Hide date navigation – Prevent users from viewing different dates

Styles

• Background color– Select the background color of the section. The colors available to you will depend on what the system default is and the brand style you are using
• Padding–Adjust the amount of background visible behind the widget. You can set a value between 0px and 100px. A larger value will show more of the background, making the section header and content appear smaller. A smaller value will minimize the background visibility, making the widget appear larger. Adjust the slider to fine-tune the amount of padding
• Round corners–Round the corners of the widget between the values 0px and 100px. A larger value will make the widget corners appear rounder, whereas a lower value will make them appear sharper.
