Adding Countdown Below Events in Photo View

[jon]

Is there a way to add the Countdown ticker/widget below each event in photoview?

I added this shortcode
[tribe_event_countdown id="1716" show_seconds="yes"]
to this event http://www.itsgreektomemn.com/events/2017-greek-independence-day/
but it only shows up in the Single Page format and not in the event info in Photo View

Photo View – http://www.itsgreektomemn.com/events

Thanks

Hi Jon,

I’d be happy to help you out here with your countdown widgets!

Could you please tell me exactly where you pasted the shortcode so I can get a better understanding of how your site is currently configured? I should then be able to give you some guidance on making changes to your photo view. 🙂

Thanks so much, and please feel free to ask any questions that come up in the meantime!

Best,

Shelby 🙂

Here is a screenshot mock up of what I want to do.

I have [tribe_event_countdown id=”1716″ show_seconds=”yes”] in this event and it shows up with a title inside the main events page here http://www.itsgreektomemn.com/events/2017-greek-independence-day/ but doesn’t show anything on the main events page here http://www.itsgreektomemn.com/events/

Secondary related question would be, is there a way to turn Photo View from masonry to masonry grid so the items all in one row stay the same height?
I found this guide in the Knowledge bade but couldn’t get it to work with version 4.44

Thank You,

Hi Jon,

Thanks for clarifying. 🙂

This kind of request would require some theming customization. We have some resources for doing that here (I believe you’ll want to start with the modules/meta/details.php file). If you need to find someone to help with the customizations, we also have some tips for finding help here.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Shelby

Thanks
sure that it should be modules/meta/details.php?

want to edit just the Main Calendar page to add a counter below each image/event.
maybe default-template.php?

Weird that there isn’t code that you guys as the developers can’t provide on this. Having it out there on the paid forum helps all paid users and would encourage us to buy licenses for more sites. I have 100 website but have only bought it for 3 so far and have been a little disappointed in the forum support compared to other themes/plugins.

There should also be some easy to use options inside the settings for photo view like switching between Masonry and equal height Grid layouts.

Hi again Jon,

The countdown shortcode is actually a very new feature, and as such, we’re still building out use cases regarding functionality for it. If you’d like to, you can submit your idea as a feature on our feature request page here.

Unfortunately, custom development like this is outside of the scope of even premium support, though we are consistently actively developing the plugins to improve them for scenarios such as this one.

If you have any questions in the future, or should need clarification on any of this, please let us know.

Thanks,

Shelby 🙂

Is there maybe a way to get it to work inside the default-template.php with something like based off this shortcode?

[tribe_event_countdown id="$event_id" show_seconds="yes"]

Seems like there would be a way to use the function but pull the id in automatically.

Hi Jon,

That seems like something you could do, and may be worth exploring in your case, though I’d recommend pulling in a developer on this one.

We also have some resources to guide you in theming/development here. If you need to find someone to help with the customizations, we also have some tips for finding help here. Again, unfortunately, custom development like this is outside of the scope of even premium support.

Please let us know if you have questions about our plugins and their native functionality in the future.

Best,

Shelby 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
