Howdy,
Three quick questions:
1. How can I set an imported Facebook event to link directly to the event’s Facebook page, both from the sidebar widget and the primary calendar itself? I saw the git code added on a closed thread, to add to the theme’s function.php. Tried it and it didn’t make a difference.
2. Where are the styles for the sidebar widget located?
3. The images are imported into the events from Facebook, but not into the sidebar, though the indent that appears would seem to imply that small thumbnails of those images should be there, as well. I’d sure like that. Possible?Thanks,
SimmonsHi sbuntin,
Thanks for getting in touch.
1. Can you post the thread that had the gist? I’m wondering if maybe it’s just a bit out of date for the current version of Facebook Events.
2. The CSS styling for widgets is located in the following:
For Core: /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/resources/tribe-events-full.css
For Pro: /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/resources/widget-calendar-full.css
It’s not recommended that you edit any plugin files directly, since updating the plugin will override your modifications. Instead, override the specific styles you need by putting the CSS in your theme’s stylesheet by giving your styles higher priority in the CSS Cascading Order. (Read more about that in this article).3. Are you referring to the Upcoming Events widget? Or something else? The widget does not use Featured Images by default, although you could probably do some customization to add them in.
Hopefully that answered your questions. Let me know if I can be of further help.
Best,

Yes, I’m referring to the Upcoming Events widget. If you look at http://civanoneighbors.com/, scrolling down, you’ll see that the events are indented a fair bit, looking like a space for images. If that’s not the plan, then I’ll adjust the styles and move them back flush left and reduce the spacing.Thanks,
SimmonsHi Simmons,
Thanks for the added info. I checked out that gist and although it’s recent, I’m wondering if some of the changes to The Events Calendar between now and then could have changed its effectiveness. I’ve asked a developer to take a look at it and see if we can get it working for you again.
I see what you mean about the widget on your site. I can’t be sure, but I suspect that indent has something to do with your theme. Adjusting the styles would be the best way to go there.
I’ll be in touch after our dev takes a look. Thanks for your patience 🙂
Cheers,
Leahhey again Simmons! Hope you’re well. I just followed-up with our developers, based on Leah’s last comment here, and wanted to come back with some more information.
From the looks of things, it appears the gist Tim provided in that separate thread adds a link to the Facebook event to the gray event details box on the single event. From the looks of things it appears your goal is trying to make all the events imported from Facebook link directly to the Facebook page instead of the single event page on your site. Let me know if I’m misunderstood there.
Otherwise: the most detail we can offer up here (as this does veer more into the customization realm) is that you can hook into the tribe_get_event_link filter to change the URL to the Facebook event. If you’re willing to crack the hood it should be relatively easy to do, and our http://docs.tri.be site should be able to help you out there as well.
Hope this helps! Let me know if not. Thanks again for your patience & support.
