Enable Comments on Venue Page

[Dustin]

Is there a way to enabled comments on the single venue page (single-venue.php)?

[Barry]

Hi Dustin – have you tried changing the setting found at Events > Settings > General > Show Comments?

[Dustin]

Yes, that seems to only enabled them on Events, not Venues.

[Barry]

OK – if you take a look at Events > Settings > Template can you tell me what Events Template is set to?

[Dustin]

It is set to Default Events Template. I have created a new single-venue.php file to make some modifications. Do I need to add any code to this file to enabled comments? I tried adding this at the end but it didn’t change anything.

[Dustin]

Not sure how to add code here, I’ll try again.

Hi Dustin – code snippets don’t always work as expected, unfortunately, so it’s best to use an external service such as Pastebin and paste a link in here. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[Dustin]

Ok, here’s what I added to single-venue.php. http://pastebin.com/x9idxtxK

Can you trying editing the following line in your (custom) ecp-single-template.php:

if(tribe_get_option('showComments','no') == 'yes'){ comments_template(); }

And change it to:

if(tribe_get_option('showComments','no') == 'yes' || tribe_is_venue()){ comments_template(); }

[Dustin]

I copied the single-venue.php file to my theme-directory\events\ folder. That file didn’t have the line you mention.

Here is what is in the file http://pastebin.com/qLkMxqpn

Right – but I’m suggesting you edit ecp-single-template.php – not single-venue.php – does that help/clarify things?

[Dustin]

I see. I copied ecp-single-template.php to theme-folder/events/ and made the modification. Didn’t seem to add the comments. Example venue page http://myedmondsnews.com/venue/pancake-haus/

[Barry]

You’re still set up so that the Default Events Template is in use right? I’m not sure why that wouldn’t be working … can you try deactivating other plugins and switching to a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Twelve and test if it works then?
