Different style depending on category

[Rosa Maria]

Hi,

I want to apply a different style to events depending on the category. I have follow your answer of the topic ” https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/different-styles-in-month-overview-depending-on-category-or-how-to-enter-custom/ “. But all I get is the category class added in all the pages, but not in events. The Events Single View don’t has the category added to the body (only appears “category-“). How can I fix it?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can try to help out here.

Did you already start some coding to do this and can you share it?

Let me know and we can go from here.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

I have added this code to functions.php:

function add_category_name($classes = '') {
   if(is_single()) {
      $category = get_the_category();
      $classes[] = 'category-'.$category[0]->slug; 
   }
   return $classes;
}
add_filter('body_class','add_category_name');

Hi,

That coding is on the right track, but the event categories are a custom taxonomy so it will not work with get_the_category().

I came up with this coding instead and it worked for me:

/*
* The Events Calendar - Add First Event Category Name to Body Class in Single Events
*
* Events > Settings > Display Tab > Events Template must be set to Default Event Template
*/
add_filter( 'body_class', 'tribe_add_event_category' );
function tribe_add_event_category( $classes = '' ) {

global $post;

if ( is_singular( 'tribe_events' ) ) {

$category = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'tribe_events_cat' );

$classes[] = 'category-' . $category[0]->slug;

}

return $classes;
}

This will only work if this Events template setting here:

Events > Settings > Display Tab > Events Template

Is set to “Default Events Template”

Hi,

But my Events Template is set to “Default Page Template”… Which code must I use, then? How can I fix it?

Cheers

You can try this coding from George, that might work:

Beyond that I do not have anything else to provide on this and can only support existing features and not customizations.

Thanks
