Add Event Form Template

[bamforp]

Hi – I am using Community Events with a custom event template in my child theme to show a particular sidebar on the event views. The month and list views apply the specified template without a problem but the new event form page is ignoring my custom template and using my themes home page sidebar. Is this the expected behavior – if not any clues where I should be looking to fix?
Thanks

Bamforp,
Sorry to hear you’re having these issues. Could you give me a URL to your Community Submission page, so I can take a closer look? Thanks!

Hi. Link is http://nhap.org/events/supporters/add
If you contrast with http://nhap.org/events/ you will see the ‘add’ page is using the default sidebar (red buttons) rather than my custom template which shows the ‘blue’ sidebar.

Bamforp,
If you go into ‘Events->Settings->Display->Events Template’ what option is selected there in the dropdown?

[bamforp]

Hi – Default Events Template but I have a custom default-template.php file in a tribe-events subdirectory of my child theme. The custom template code is …

Settings -> Template -> Events Template.
*
* Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/default-template.php
*
* @package TribeEventsCalendar
* @since 3.0
* @author Modern Tribe Inc.
*
*/

if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) ) { die(‘-1’); }

get_header(); ?>

What versions of the Events Calendar and Community are you running? Also, could you paste that code somewhere like PasteBin and then share the link with me so I can see the whole file? Thanks!

[bamforp]

I running 3.2 for both Events and Community.
Code is here …

Any update on this issue? It’s gone very quiet!

Bamforp,
Try putting the ‘tribe-events’ directory in the parent theme directory and let me know if that fixes the issue. Thanks!

Hi – I moved the tribes-events to the parent theme directory but no change in behaviour. Any other clues?

[Casey]

Bamforp,
I just realized that the Community add-on is using page.php when the ‘Default Events Template’ option is selected. Try pasting this code snippet into your theme’s functions.php file to get Community to use a different page template: https://gist.github.com/ckpicker/7914377

Let me know if that does the trick!

No joy. I changed entry on line 4 to default-template.php and put code in the functions.php of my child theme. Sounds like we might be getting close though 🙂

[Casey]

Hmmm, that’s really strange. I just tested this in my local environment and it worked for me. Can you try putting it in functions.php file of the parent theme?

[bamforp]

No cigar 🙁 Would it help if I set you up with temp admin access to my site?

[Casey]

Yes, if you can send me a private reply with admin access and FTP access to your site, I’ll take a closer look. Thanks!
