Categories List View

[Warren O’Donoghue]

Hi Folks,

When a user clicks an ‘Event Category:’ link can an events list (for that category) be displayed on the PRO version whilst keeping the ‘Default view’ in ‘List’ when the user wants to see all events?

So we basically want to keep it looking like this https://testsite.frodsham.gov.uk/events/ for all events.

But when a user clicks a link to a specific category, either in an event or on the menu across the top, they see a list of events from that category only.

Hope all makes sense!

Kind regards
Warren

Hey Warren

I want to be sure I’m following your question. I looked at a category on your site for a reference: https://testsite.frodsham.gov.uk/events/category/neighbourhood/2018-06/?tribe_events_cat=neighbourhood&tribe-bar-date=2018-06

At this time, our plugins by default will use the same view that your events page is set to.

You could override this. For that, you could see our Themer’s Guide https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/ to get you started. If that is a bit too daunting, we recommend Find A Customizer https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/find-a-customizer/” to help.

We’re limited in helping with styling customizations, per our Scope of Support / Terms.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hi Courtney,

Thanks very much for your reply, it is very helpful.

I have setup a template override but I am struggling to edit the <dt>Event Category:</dt> link in details.php

I basically want to append /list/ in the category link so users see the ‘list’ view of that category when clicked through, like this:

https://testsite.frodsham.gov.uk/events/category/police/list/

Hope that makes sense!

Many thanks
Warren 🙂

Hey Warren

We’re limited in helping with styling customizations, per our Scope of Support / Terms. What I can do is to add this request to our queue of customization requests. We reserve those for when our forums are not busy, and do not have a particular timeframe to estimate responses.

Can I add you to the queue? It would unassign your thread from me and be in a waiting status until we have further availability.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Yes please add me to the queue.

Thanks again for your help so far.

Best regards
Warren

Hey Warren,

Add this snippet to your functions.php file and let me know if that does the trick for you.

add_filter( 'tribe_get_event_categories', 'cats_to_list' );
function cats_to_list ( $html ){
$new_html = str_replace( '/" rel="tag"', '/list/" rel="tag"', $html );
return $new_html;
}

Cheers,
Andras
