Solspace Calendar; list events by day but suppress output of days with no events

Question

I have a client with an older EE (2.1.1) running Calendar 1.5.3.

They want an event list by day that doesn't display days with no events. I'm using this code at present:

{exp:calendar:cal date_range_start="today" show_days="30" pad_short_weeks="n"} 
 {display_each_day}
  <div class="day_list">
   <h3 class="day">{day format="%l, %F %j"}</h3>
   {if day_event_total == 0}<p>No Events</p>{/if}
    {events}
     <p><a class="event_name" href="#">{event_title}</a> {event_start_date format="%g:%i %a"} - {event_end_date format="%g:%i%a"}</p>
    {/events}
  </div>
 {/display_each_day}
{/exp:calendar:cal} 

Which essentially works aside from the fact that of course all days with no events display with the message. They're reasoning that there's no need to show a day if there's no event. Is there a way to do this?

MANY thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try adding the {if day_event_total > 0} ... {/if} conditional:

{exp:calendar:cal date_range_start="today" show_days="30" pad_short_weeks="n"} 
 {display_each_day}
  <div class="day_list">
   {if day_event_total > 0}<h3 class="day">{day format="%l, %F %j"}</h3>{/if}
   {if day_event_total == 0}<p>No Events</p>{/if}
    {events}
     <p><a class="event_name" href="#">{event_title}</a> {event_start_date format="%g:%i %a"} - {event_end_date format="%g:%i%a"}</p>
    {/events}
  </div>
 {/display_each_day}
{/exp:calendar:cal} 

If you really wanted to show nothing on days with no events, you could also remove the {if day_event_total == 0}<p>No Events</p>{/if} conditional.

Also, it goes without saying that we recommend updating EE and Calendar at some point. Both versions are quite old. (Make database and file backups before you do)
