Question

well, I want to set a different color for each event. Basically that’s it
I’m reading events from an Ajax call
Thanks

EDIT: I don’t want to wait 8 hours for answer my own question

first of all, my apologize for not include code example on my answer, but thanks to Brandom who guide me to find my answer 😛

So, here is my .js file which has an Ajax call to my events:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
      events: {
        url:'http://myhost/mysite/ajax/',
        type: 'POST',
        data:{ trigger: 'eventos' },
        error: function() { alert('there was an error while fetching events!'); }
      }
    });
}

then, in my .php file who receives my ajax call I have this:

<?
 if($_POST['trigger'] == 'eventos'){
     $eventos = new WP_Query();
     $eventos->query(array(
         'post_type' => 'evento'
         )
      );
     $eventdata = array();
     while($eventos->have_posts()) : $eventos->the_post();
        $elem = array(
          'id' => $post->ID,
          'title' => $post->post_title,
          'start' => get('evento_fecha_inicio',1,1,$post->ID),
          'end' => get('evento_fecha_termino',1,1,$post->ID),
          'allDay' => 'false',
          'color' => '#'.rand(000000,999999), //this is what I'm was looking for!
        );
        $eventdata[] = $elem;
     endwhile;

     echo json_encode($eventdata);
 }
?>

(the ‘get’ functions corresponds to magicfields‘ functions). So there it is, with a rand(); in the color value I can generate a random color for each event element

(sorry for my english)

If you’re using FullCalendar v1.5 you can set the color, backgroundColor, borderColor and textColor properties of the Event Object
