Feedlabel displayed on top of event description details

    Hi, Thanks for this great plugin.

    I’m wondering if it is possible to have shown on top of each event detail the feedlabel. This because in my case some events are not clearly writen and are confusing if we don’t know the name of the feed they belong to.

    Thanks for any suggestion (or feature in next releases)

    There’s not a built in way to do this (mainly to avoid the clutter of a lot of extra repeated text), but it’s possible with the filters on the Developer page.

    Before that though I would recommend assigning colors to the feeds and then turning on the legend. That will color code each event and show a color key (the legend) with each feed’s title, at the top of the page.

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    I have already done that and it is useful but not enough (some readers still don’t get it, and also I have many feeds and therefore many colors looking alike..)

    and with regards to :

    There’s not a built in way to do this (mainly to avoid the clutter of a lot of extra repeated text),

    It’s easy to avoid that, the webmaster may just choose short feedlabels (or rename them). And in my case, I would only show the feed label in the popup, above the event details, therefore not taking loads of space).
    I believe it would be a good improvement. Here below an example :

    CALENDAR :
    An event tiltle (details of the event being shown only if clicked (or hoovered)
    The next event title (details of the event being shown only if clicked (or hoovered)
    Third event title, being clicked and shown in popup or other window as herebelow :
    . feedlabel indication (ADDED BY THE NEW FEATURE)
    . detail of the event (shown as usual)
    …

    And finaly with regards to

    it’s possible with the filters on the Developer page.

    I’m unfortunately not experienced enough to be able to program such a solution… I don’t even understand which exact filter I should use and how to write it precisely (If it is simple you may provide the answer here, hoping I will manage to copy-paste it at the correct location).

    Thank you.

    I think if the feed label is only shown in the event details pop-up rather than in the main calendar view, this would be a manageable user experience. I’ll look into the feasibility of adding it in the next update.

    Upon further inspection this was a relatively easy feature to add, so I have it available now in a new beta version, or you can wait until the next update release (probably within the next two weeks).

    If you’d like to try the beta, you can download it here:

    https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ics-calendar.11.2.2-beta-1.zip

    To use the new parameter, add this to your shortcode:

    feedlabelindesc="true"

    Great, that’s exactly that.

    ..and by the way, you may add in the user guide, that only feedlabel entered manualy will be displayed (as far as I noticed).

    Thank you for this rapid improvement.
