Events Template not displaying properly unless using Default Events Template

[graphicpilot]

Hello,
None of the templates that I select are displaying properly for the events page. I’m using the Map View as default. Even Default Events Template looks a bit wonky unless I use Tribe Events Styles. All of the other templates – including the Default Page Template – seem to be displaying like the theme’s blog feed with title and excerpt. What I want to do is use the theme’s right sidebar or full width page template to display the events calendar properly but the feed is messed up, integrating regular blog posts.

With full width page template: http://awesomescreenshot.com/0f43mhm15e
With default page template: http://awesomescreenshot.com/0923mhlpa8

Note: I’m using the slug “Locations” for the events view and “Location” for the single events, since the customer is a traveling vendor and the events are really locations their going to. There is no page called Locations created, just the dynamic one TEC creates.

Sorry to hear that integration hasn’t gone too smoothly for you.

It looks pretty good (to me) right now and it seems to be the Default Events Template that you are using currently. Is customizing that template to add a sidebar a possibility?

Our themer’s guide goes into more depth, but the basic idea is to copy templates from the plugin directory to your theme. In this for example you might copy:

plugins/the-events-calendar/views/default-template.php

Then place your copy within a tribe-events subdirectory inside your theme:

themes/your-theme/tribe-events/default-template.php

Adding the sidebar is potentially as simple as placing an extra line of code (possibly get_sidebar(), depending on how your theme is structured). Is that something you could give a try here?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread (and so it will no longer be monitored by staff). If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
