Can't get my custom widgetised areas to show

[colinforum]

Hi There,

I am having a problem implementing Calendar Pro with my installed theme. I need the events calendar to match my other pages with the sidebar widget area and footer widget area seen on other pages of the site such as the news page or blog. However, When I set the events template to ‘default page template’, no widgets appear and I get the wrong page titles (Which I unsuccessfully followed your step-by-step guide for). I then went forward to try and customise the list.php view in my own theme folder, still no success. I am using Presscore, a common wordpress template.

Hi colinforum,

If you’re using the Default Events Template as you currently seem to be doing, probably the best bet is to customize it and potentially other templates as much as is possible to make it mesh with your theme.

Our Themer’s Guide outlines the basics of this – but, unfortunately, not knowing the structure of your theme’s templates or what helper functions/best practices of its own exist make it difficult for me to provide a simple set of step-by-step instructions to help.

I then went forward to try and customise the list.php view in my own theme folder, still no success.

Was there anything in particular that you were having difficulties with here?

Hi Barry,

Thanks. I created my own page template and followed the guide.

I have a seperate query but perhaps best kept to a sepeate thread? Looking to add the hyperlinked event name to the calendar widget on hover over the dates…

Hi Colin,

It would definitely be appreciated if you could break this out into a separate thread 🙂

At a high level though you would probably need to:

• Customize month/single-event.php and pass the link in to the template via tribe_events_template_data()
• Use the new template variable within month/tooltip.php

The general form of this change is certainly a tad different that you might find when customizing other templates, so if you do need further help that’s totally understandable – just post a new thread and one of the team will happily point you in the right direction if they can 🙂

Thanks again!
