Events post list view and calendar grid view in post category

[javier]

Hi!

– Why does the event list meta that appears in the tribe events post list doesn’t appear in the post categories (categories of wordpresss, not in the own taxonomy of tribe events)?

– How can I show the calendar grid view in a post category? (can I show it in a widget?… on top or bottom of the post list?)

Let me explain it…

I have a post category called MUSIC with content about music and I would like to publish event posts in it, but when I do it, the additional info (tribe meta custom fields: price, address…) that appears in the event list doesn´t appear in the music category. Also, I want to show the calendar grid view in my category MUSIC page.

How can I do it?

Thanks!

Hi there Javier. Happy to try and answer your questions here. For the first, we decided when releasing 2.0 to break the Events out into their own custom post type that relies on its own category taxonomy (since a lot of users didn’t want the calendar mingling with their regular blog posts). That being said if you were looking to integrate them we did put together this tutorial, which should help: https://theeventscalendar.com/integrating-wordpress-categories-tags-with-your-events/.

It sounds like, if I understand your second question correctly, the link I’ve provided above should assist with implementing that as well. Can you give it a go and confirm? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Rob! I have already done this.
1. And events appears in my post categories but the additional info doesn´t appear, just the “title” “date and other tags info” and finally the “content”. I need show events in post as the event appears in its own category (price, addresss…)

2. The calendar grid view doesn´t appear. I also need to show a static grid calendar somewhere in my category page.

Just imagine (because I´m working in localhost…) when you open my “MUSIC” category you will be able to see: post musica categories, events music categories and in a widget or another place the calendar grid showing dates of events music category.

Thanks Rob!

Thanks for confirming as much, Javier. Let me get Jonah from our dev team to take a look and double check that the code presented in that tutorial (which was a few releases ago) hasn’t changed for 2.0.6. While we can’t provide significant support for user-submitted tutorials, we’ll do what we can to point you in the right direction. You may want to reach out to that author directly though, if we’re unable to help you to the extent you wish.

Let’s see what Jonah has to say first.

Hi Javier,

To get event meta to show in the post meta area for the category view in your theme, you will need to modify the category loop and add any specific events info you want. This is outside of the customization we can help you with but I can point you in the right direction and that’s what you’ll need to do.

To get the gridview appearing in your categories you could either use our calendar widget, placing it in the sidebar for your category page or you could include the gridview file via PHP like so:

include('wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/gridview.php');


…but some of the functionality may not work the way you want (like the prev/next links) and you will need to work on customizing this yourself.

I hope that helps! Good luck!

– Jonah
