Adding Find Events button – auto search not working in Safari

[cp99]

Hi,
I’m running Pro and Filter Bar and updated everything to 3.7 so that Filter Bar would run. The Events Bar has changed layout in the new version, so I have ‘Find Events’ opening an expanding box with my input fields, and hitting Enter after entering some text activates the search.
I think this looks good and the search works great for me, but my clients have complained that the search doesn’t work and hitting Enter does nothing. They are using Safari, and confirmed that the search does work in Chrome & FF – so the problem seems to be with Safari 7 on a Mac.
They would like to have a button to click to activate the search, like in the old layout (assuming this would solve the problem) – can I add this in?
And if so, would this work in addition to the auto search on Enter function, or would it have to replace it?
Thanks for your help.

Hi – sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties.

There actually is already a Find Events button – and, though you cannot see it, it is actually present on the page – but your theme’s stylesheet contains a rule that explicitly hides it:

.tribe-events-ical, html .tribe-events-button, html #tribe-events .tribe-events-button {
display: none;
}

You can find this on lines 1985-1987 of that file (ie, your theme’s main style.css file). Is there a reason you need this/could you simply remove or modify that line, or ask whomever added it (your designer?) to do so?

I hope that helps 🙂

Oh great – sorry, that’s my mistake; thought I’d checked for silly things like that, but obviously not..
Thanks for the help!

Pleasure 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close the thread but if we can help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed and one of the team will be only too happy to help.

Also, if you have a moment to spare, we’re always interested in hearing our user’s thoughts over on the plugin review page – thanks again!
