Display venue with single event title and in calendar view hover

[siriusly]

I am trying to figure out how to get the venue name to display along with the event title & date in both the single event view and in the event hover in the monthly calendar view. I am using CSS to hide some post meta data (author, date) — could this be also hiding the venue? And, if so, how can I differentiate between those so the venue name is visible? Thank you! (BTW, I’ve tried pretty much every events plugin out there, and The Events Calendar Pro is truly the best!)

Howdy siriusly,

That’s awesome! I am really glad you enjoy our plugin so much, it is great to hear that sort of feedback. We do our best.

<span style=”font-size: 13px;”>If you want to add information to the month view tooltip that pops up when you hover over an event, then you will need to follow our </span>themers guide<span style=”font-size: 13px;”>. Specifically you are looking to override month/single-event.php which pertains to that tooltip. If you wanted to add the venue name for instance, you would use </span>tribe_get_venue()<span style=”font-size: 13px;”>. As you can see in that last link, there are a whole bunch of other tribe_get_ functions for retreiving other details within a theme override.</span>

If you simple want to hide existing information using CSS, then that is even easier. For instance, if you wanted to hide the Details column, which shows the start/end date and event categories, the following CSS will do it:

.tribe-events-meta-group.tribe-events-meta-group-details {
display: none;
}

If you need more granual control than CSS allows for, you will again need to create a theme override for that view. Unfortunately the added power and control of theme overrides means you also have to know PHP and familiarize yourself with our API in order to make changes. If you do not feel comfortable doing that, then you would need to hire a qualified developer. We can recommend some who are familiar with all the required APIs if you would like.

Thanks for posting!
