Events schedule description

[communityanswers]

Just upgraded to ECP 3.12.4 and thought this next upgrade would fix this. Do you have a delivery time?

In the past: the schedule showed up on the front end as:
Schedule: Every day until October 15, 2015 (See all)

Now after upgrade it shows up as:
Schedule: An event every day that lasts 0 day(s) and 0 hour(s), the last of which will begin on July 16, 2016 (See all)

you can see this at: http://www.communityanswers.org/event/6th-and-final-exhibit-of-the-season-donna-forma-layer-upon-layer/2016-06-21/

Hey,

Thanks for following up with us here.

I took a look at our internal system and it looks like the original ticket that was created has been shipped. However, it looks like there may have been a misunderstanding with the original issue since there were multiple participants on that previous thread.

As a starting point, would you mind sending me a screenshot of the recurrence rules that you have set within the event settings for the linked event?

Thanks!

[communityanswers]

All of our recurring events show this problem. See http://www.communityanswers.org/event/community-yoga/2015-12-19/

You can see the front end jpeg here: http://www.communityanswers.org/?attachment_id=24629

back end here: http://www.communityanswers.org/?attachment_id=24628

(sorry for the links – could not find where to upload jpegs and your email was noreply)

FYI – I work part time, so give me 3 business days to respond prior to closing out the ticket.

Hey Virginia,

Thanks for providing the additional links and info!

I’ve created a feature ticket for updates to how we handle the descriptions now that we have much more complex recurrence options available. If you would like, you can also create a new UserVoice request for this feature.

Thanks!

[communityanswers]

I just updated to ECPro ver. 3.12.5 thinking that the new “Feature – Bring back the Recurrence Rule description override field” for this update would fix our recurrence description problem, but it has not. Did I misunderstand it’s function? where this override exists? and do we have an expected delivery date on this issue?

Thanks,
Virginia

Hey communityanswers,

Thanks for following up here. I just tested this on my local install and it properly updated the description where it naturally gets output as the hover over the “See All” at the top of the recurring event.

Looking at your site it does appear that this view has been customized. If you don’t mind, would you mind posting the code that is used to output that description on your page? You should be able to find this within a “tribe-events” folder within your theme.

Thanks!

We need to change the description so that it shows start and end date (no timing allowed) and then it shows correctly on the callendar andin the event listing. When we use RECURRANCE RULES, that’s when we have the schedule problem. Code listed below:

Hey,

Thanks for following up and providing the code above. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear that the code we need is in this section. Out of curiosity, is there a modules > meta > details.php file in the theme is well? If so the necessary information is probably in there.

Thanks!

[communityanswers]

We don’t have that file in our theme. We discovered that the description works fine as long as we don’t use the recurrence rules. It’s a shame as that is a useful feature. I’ll be out of town until the 19th so if you have further exploration for me to work on, please hold off until then. Thanks again for your assistance.

[Josh]

Hey,

No problem. If you would like you can send a zip file of your theme to support[at]theeventscalendar.com and I can take a quick look to see where the conflicting code is at.

Also, our threads here will close automatically after 2 weeks of inactivity so it should be fine to have this one wait until you return on the 19th.

Thanks!

[communityanswers]

Josh, just sent zip file. Again, thanks.

Virginia

[Josh]

Hey Virginia,

Thanks for providing that!

I reviewed and found the issue with the description there. Within your tribe-events > modules > meta folder within your theme you’ll want to replace the complete contents of the “details.php” file with this:

https://gist.github.com/847869bbf08190f2fc74

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

[communityanswers]

Josh,

I really appreciate it. The change to the details.php file didn’t help, but in the scheme of things this is a minor inconvenience. So if you want to close the ticket, it’s okay with us. In the process of working on this we’ve learned better how to use the recurrence rules to our advantage so – thanks and in general, we are pleased with the plugin.

Happy Thanksgiving

[Josh]

Hey,

No problem. Also, I would like to clarify one thing about the above code. I was a bit vague when adding, but the intention of the code is that the description will now either be the default that you were seeing before or can be replaced with the custom description field contents that are now available again when setting the recurrence. If that is blank for the event, the same, ugly description will continue to display there.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to open a new thread.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Thanks!
