Calendar on home page and another different page with calendar on it

[stephenmiles]

I am developing a website that has a list of events on it. Which the event calendar plugin is great for it but I am having problems getting it to do exactly what I would like it to do.

Can you example how I have the calendar page, with filters, as the home page. I would also like another page with the list of events without a filters. How can i do this?

Hi there Stephen,

The first thing I’d like to highlight just in case you haven’t seen it is our Themer’s Guide which covers a lot of the basics in terms of customizing the plugin and does a good job in laying the groundwork for more advanced tweaks.

Can you example how I have the calendar page, with filters, as the home page.

I’m afraid that right now placing the main events page on the home page of your blog is not supported out of the box – so it’s something you’d need to take forward via some custom development work or by using a suitable third party plugin.

I would also like another page with the list of events without a filters.

It doesn’t look like you have purchased Filter Bar so I’d just like to clarify what you mean here: on this other page do you want a regular events view (which one?) but without the grey bar at the top which allows them to specify the date and any search terms, and so on?

Thank you for the response

As for filters I mean the search boxes as on the demo page.

OK – well one pretty easy way to remove those is to override the modules/bar.php template (complete steps for setting up template overrides – which is a safe way of customizing things – can be found in our Themer’s Guide).

This particular template is responsible for displaying the “Tribe Bar” which is the set of search filters I think you are describing. All you would need to do, then, to make these appear on some pages but not others is add an appropriate conditional statement near the top of your custom version, something like:

if ( ! is_home() ) return;

Of course the above may not be a perfect fit for your needs but it gives the basic idea: you can find out more about forming these kinds of conditional statements by reading through the WordPress Codex.

I don’t think there’s too much more we can do to assist on this one, but if you have any further questions about other topics please don’t hesitate to create a new thread and one of the team will be only too happy to help.

Thanks – and good luck 🙂
