Give the Event Title custom colours within the Calendar Widget

Probably the simplest way would be to add an Extended Attribute that you save along with the object at save time, and read at display time in order to assign it a color.

Check here for syntax: https://community.telligent.com/community/archive/f/developer-forum/1138484/retrieve-extended-attributes-in-widget/1583668#1583668

Tom Paolucci Grant Pankonien Jon Allen I was curious about the link that Steven shared, although its possibly outdated -- Any chance you can move that post back to a public group (or copy/paste what was shared)? Thanks!

Alex I would be 'wary' when trying this as from memory I don't think that calendar events extended attributes fully worked in some older versions, I am sure for Verint connect we had to have a workaround when it was running v11

but they are quite simple to set/get in widgets once you know the syntax

when saving

#set($options = "%{}")
$options.Add("_ExtendedAttributes_Colour", "red")

#set ($eventColour = false)
#set ($eventColour = $event.ExtendedAttributes.Get("Colour").Value)

Thanks, Karl Barber! This is what I recalled, so that's why I was specifically curious about what worked in the past. However, your explanation is a good jumping-off point -- now I need to learn more about using Extended Attributes .  Appreciate your help!
