Calendar Display questions

[madsphi]

Hi,

I have brought your Pro Calendar and have a few questions:

1) When I choose monthly view (“Måned”), the event names aren’t shown on the appropriate dates. Instead there is just a black dot on the dates with events.

How can I configure the plugin so event names are shown instead of the black dots?

2) Can I remove the “+ Google Maps” links from the list view?

3) On the individual event pages, can I remove the link to the prev/next events?

4) On the individual event pages, can I configure the plugin so the location name isn’t a link?

5) Last question. On the individual event pages, there is a link to the all events pages.

It would be nice if there was a link to both the all events page and the relevant category pages (like “All events” -> “Parent category” -> “Category”), i.e. just like the standard WP category breadcrumbs.

Is that possible somehow?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi there Mads! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forum. 🙂

Great questions. Let’s see if we can tackle them one at a time.

1) When I choose monthly view (“Måned”), the event names aren’t shown on the appropriate dates. Instead there is just a black dot on the dates with events.

The calendar has a responsive layout that changes the event titles to black dots on smaller screens. The calendar thinks it’s on a small screen because it is squeezed next to the sidebar to the right of it. You can change the breakpoint for where the calendar changes to small-screen mode by adding something like this to your functions.php file:

add_filter(‘tribe_events_mobile_breakpoint’, ‘my_tribe_events_mobile_breakpoint’, 768);

Of course, change the 768 to a pixel value that works best with your layout.

2) Can I remove the “+ Google Maps” links from the list view?

Yes, that should be possible. Again, you’ll probably want to write a function to remove it from that specific view. The tribe_get_map_link() function should get you what you’re looking for since it performs the Google Map URL for a given event.

3) On the individual event pages, can I remove the link to the prev/next events?

Absolutely. I would recommend creating a theme override for the single-event.php template and remove the navigation block that contains those links. If you’re new to theme overrides, I’d check out our Themer’s Guide, which will walk you through how to customize templates. Sorry, I can’t do the customization for you, but that should point you in the right direction.

4) On the individual event pages, can I configure the plugin so the location name isn’t a link?

I’d suggest the same tactic as #2, but work with the tribe_get_venue_link() function instead. Setting this to “false” for the single event view will get you what you’re looking for.

5) It would be nice if there was a link to both the all events page and the relevant category pages (like “All events” -> “Parent category” -> “Category”), i.e. just like the standard WP category breadcrumbs.

That’s a great idea. While that’s not something that comes out of the box, there is a link to the event category in the details box in the single event view. However, I get what you’re saying that it would be nice to have it be included in the navigation. That’s not currently a feature we support, but you could certainly continue customizing the single-event.php template and use the tribe_meta_event_category_name() function to display the event category where you like it to appear.

Did I help answer all your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Awesome support! – and something for us to work with 🙂

Can I also remove the export buttons somehow (on the all events + single event pages)

[Geoff]

Thanks, Mads! So glad I’ve been able to help. 🙂

Yes! In fact, we have an entire tutorial dedicated to removing the export buttons from from the single event view. We also have one for removing the link from the calendar view as well. You may be interested in checking both of those out.

Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Thanks!
Geoff

Perfect. Thanks a lot for your help.

My pleasure! I’m going to go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other questions pop up. We’d be happy to help. 🙂
