Event Calender Pro Photo view

[boomerstyle1010]

Just purchased product because the photo view demo looks exactly like what I need. Problem now is that all information placed in the event shows up on the photo view. What I would like to do is place all the event information in the event section but only show hours and dates in the photo view section and if the user wishes to read more then the link will direct them to the event.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

You can edit or remove the information displayed in the photo view by editing the photo view template. We have instructions on how to do that here. The file you’ll want to copy can be found at wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/photo/single-event.php. From there, look for this section:

Removing that will leave you with just the photo, event name, and date, and you can do the same thing for any other elements that you want to remove from the template. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hello,

We are not able to login to user sites, but I’ll be happy to help you figure out what’s not working! First, I would recommend clearing out any caching you have on the site level (for example, if you’re using a caching plugin) as well as your browser to make sure that you are seeing the current version of the page. Next, can you verify that you created the tribe-events folder directly inside your theme folder (located at wp-content/themes/your-theme/)? Within that folder, you want to create a new folder named pro.

After that, you’ll want to copy the file found at wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/photo/single-event.php into that folder (wp-content/themes/your-theme/tribe-events/pro/). Now you can copy the single event template for photo view – which you can get from wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/photo/single-event.php – into the new pro folder. From there, all you really need to do is comment out the sections you don’t want, or you can remove them entirely. So for the excerpt you could comment it out by adding two forward slashes like this:

<?php // echo tribe_events_get_the_excerpt() ?>

Once you save the file and refresh the page, you should see your changes. Again, it would be a good idea to clear any caching after you update the file.

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Mike,

Your screenshots didn’t come through (if you’re replying via email, they unfortunately aren’t included – you’ll need to post them directly to the thread on the site). However, you need to edit the copy of the file in your new tribe-events/pro folder, not the original file. The one you created overrides the original one, and any changes you make directly in the plugin will be erased next time you update it.

 

So just to clarify, you are making one copy of single-event.php from:

wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/photo/single-event.php

and pasting it into:

wp-content/themes/your-theme/tribe-events/pro

with “your-theme” being your (active) theme folder, and tribe-events and pro you will need to create.

Not to confuse you more, but I also want to point out that it is also highly recommended to use a child theme when making customizations like this. Otherwise, you could lose your changes when you update your theme, similar to making changes directly in the plugin files.

I hope that helps (and doesn’t add to the confusion)! Let me know if that works!

Thanks,

Jennifer

I’m glad to hear you got it working! Events Calendar Pro extends The Events Calendar, so you do indeed need both activated at the same time. I’m sorry this was so much trouble, but I’m glad it’s working the way you want it to now!

If there’s anything else I can help you with, please just let me know!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
