Default Calendar WEEK VIEW

[Philip Macaulay]

My Client is running a series of events week begining June 9.
See http://www.maritimelogisticsandenergy.com/event/looking-ahead-all-about-maritime/
When a visitor clicks on – all events – they see that event in list view – OK
But when clicks on week view or list view they get what is happening this week – I need them by default to only see events for the specific week ie to see http://www.maritimelogisticsandenergy.com/events/week/2014-06-09/.

How can this be done – I’m not that comfortable editing the code??
Thanks Phil

Howdy,

If I am understanding you correct your goal is to redirect the << All Events link to the week view, specifically the week view that contains a particular event.

Without editing PHP this is not going to be possible. And it could get a bit hairy. However, what if you were to simply hide the all events link? You could then include a link back to the week view in your content, or include that fancy date selection header you have designed. Hiding the link would be quite easy. The following CSS should do it:

.tribe-events-back {
display: none;
}

Would that work for you? If I misunderstood the goal please let me know. I’d like to help if I can. Thanks!

Hi Brook
At the time I wrote my enquiry I had only just purchased the plug-in and as is usual with these things, panic set in, because it didn’t do everything I needed it to straight away and I was unfamiliar with the plugin.

So, as is usual with many plugin purchases, adaptation was the key, hence the ‘fancy’ date selector (added after I sent my query in, by the way!). I have used a lot of css to hide things not required and have had to add a fair bit of code to the functions.php file to get the plugin to play nice with Genesis particularly with the seo settings and sidebars (some of which I have had to hide with css, despite adding some functions). Anyway the bottom line, and despite my initial freaking, is that it is a great plug-in.

However I do think it is important to consider that some customers may NOT be running events all year. My customer for example is a major corporate client running an International Festival of Business in Liverpool in the UK, running many high-level business meetings during a two week ONLY in June. It would be great if the plug-in could support that kind of functionality in the future. Obviously being able to add HTML easily to the header of the event was a lifesaver.

That is an interesting usecase, Phil. I really like what you have done with the plugin to get it to fill those needs. I have not seen anything quite like that.

I get what you are saying. And the more useful we can make our plugin the better. If you would ever like to make a feature recommendation like this feel free to throw it up on our User voice page. That is the best place for feature requests, as it allows other in the community to easily vote it up and voice their support as well.

Glad to hear you got it sorted. I am going to mark this thread as answered. If you need help with something else please open a topic about it, we’d be glad to assist.
