Hi there

I am really keen to buy but have 2 questions

1. If a event is created and a unregistered or registered use downloads a calendar request (i.e ical or google calendar) and adds to their calendar, what would happen if the event organizer changes the date, does the user get a notification of date change and allow for their calendar to be updated?

2. Is there a year view of all events?

Hi Sudhir, thanks for getting in touch!

If a user downloads the export file for the calendar and imports events into their calendar app, then it will not update their calendar if further changes are made to the calendar. In other words, the user would need to re-download the file and re-import it.

That said, The Events Calendar does include an iCal address that can be found at: [your-site]/events/ical

If the calendar app the user has is able to pull in an iCal calendar feed from a URL, then that would provide updated information to the app.

2. Is there a year view of all events?

Not yet, but it is something we are working on. 🙂

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Geoff,

Thanks so much for getting back to me.

On point 1:
is there a way for me to test this on a demo site where I can test the Ical calendar feed you mention?

Hi Geoff,

One more thing I forgot to ask, is there a print view (that can be styled) what will allow the month view to be printed to a4 sheet.

Hi Sudhir, thanks for following up!

Yes, you can absolutely test out the feeds. The feed from our demo site is: http://wpshindig.com/events/ical

It’s worth noting that the calendar app using the feed will need some sort of mechanism for refreshing and processing new data when it comes through. I only say that because not all apps offer it.

Good question on print styles. The plugin does not include a print style sheet right out of the box, but making one and adding it to your theme is certainly possible. Once the file has been added to the theme directory, the only thing you’d need to do is enqueue it into the site using something like this:

function tribe_custom_print_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'style-name', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'tribe_custom_print_styles' );

Let me know if you have any other presales questions and I’d be happy to help!

Cheers!
Geoff
