gilles reported two issues with the Discourse event calendar plugin on mobile: notifications fail when creating events, and the calendar view defaults to weekly instead of monthly. Ethsim2 clarified that category visibility depends on plugin settings and suggested checking user preferences. gilles confirmed he specifically wants a monthly view on mobile. Ethsim2 referenced a meta discussion about admin settings for default views. To address the feature request, Ethsim2 opened a PR to add a calendar_category_default_view site setting, allowing configurable defaults for category calendars. As a workaround, Ethsim2 provided an advanced configuration method using calendar_categories with categoryId=defaultView=month, though this requires manual ID listing. gilles appreciated the potential solution. The discussion concluded with Ethsim2 linking to a subsequent PR, #40060, related to these improvements.
Hello, I have a problem on discourse on mobile with the event calendar plugin. When I create an event and want to notify a user, it doesn’t work, but there are no issues on the computer. Do you have the same problem? Thank you.
I also take this opportunity to see if there is a possibility to view the entire calendar inserted into a category on mobile because it is perfect on the computer. 
i’m not sure what you mean, i find the calendar full-width / large on a computer
perhaps the category isn’t on the plugin setting below
because the category is in that setting, on mobile i see
I would like to see the monthly view in the category on a mobile device. Currently, I have the weekly view by default on mobile. I wanted to know if there is a solution to work around this issue.
see also user preference, an extension to /upcoming-events / /c/ granularity (as you’ve suggested)
I’ve opened a small PR related to this:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/39963
It adds a calendar_category_default_view site setting, so category calendars can have a configurable default view rather than relying only on the current fallback behaviour.
It still needs review/approval, so it is not available yet, but it may be relevant to the monthly-view-on-mobile use case here.
Great @Ethsim2, I think your addition will be useful to others in the Discourse community 
At least you have me
There is a workaround using the advanced calendar_categories setting, for example:
categoryId=123;defaultView=month
But I agree this is not ideal if you want the same default view for many category calendars, because it means manually listing category IDs.
That is why I opened this PR
The idea is to add a global calendar_category_default_view setting, while still allowing per-category defaultView to override it where needed.
