Is It Possible To Assign The Background Colour Of A Fullcalendar Event Based On Its Title?

As FullCalendar isn't able to read the colours that are assigned to events in Google Calendar I need to be able to style the way events are displayed based on the text content of t

Solution 1:

in the eventRender callback

if(-1 != event.title.indexOf("blah blah")) {
    element.find('.fc-title').css('background-color', '#ff000'); 
}

will do it.

or better yet, apply a style element.addClass("event-bg-class");

Solution 2:

Did you basically try ?

if(-1 != event.title.indexOf("blah blah")) {
    element.css('background-color', '#ff000');
}

Solution 3:

# Hope it'll help you

element.addClass("custom-event-0");

element.addClass("custom-event-1");

$(document).ready(function() {

var eventsdata = [];
var i = 0;

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    height: 'auto',
    header: {
        left: 'prev,next today',
        center: 'title',
        right: 'agendaDay,month',
    },

    eventRender: function(event, element) {
        if(event.description == "blah blah") {
            element.css('background-color', '#ff000');
        }
    },

    // Google API keygoogleCalendarApiKey: 'xxxxxxxxx',

    // Diary Datesevents: 'xxxxxxxxx',

    eventRender: function(event, element) {
        if(eventsdata.length == 0){
            eventsdata.push(event.title);
            i++;
        }else{
            var tmp = eventsdata.indexOf(event.title);
            if(tmp == -1){
                eventsdata.push(event.title);
                i++;
            }
        }
        element.addClass("custom-event-"+eventsdata.indexOf(event.title));
    },

    eventClick: function(event) {
        // opens events in a popup windowwindow.open(event.url, 'gcalevent', 'width=700,height=600');
        returnfalse;
    },

    loading: function(bool) {
        $('#loading').toggle(bool);
    }

});
