events URL slag empty

[erictondelli]

Hi,
i try to find answer between tutorial and forum, but no success.
My question is (i have Event Calendar base version for now):
why i can’t let empty the field setting Slag url events to see events and bar search in homepage?
I try to set also /, but no way.

How could i obtain to view plugin filter bar and events list in homepage?
For now i have to set an url different from hp, for example:
http://test.seratereggiane.it/eventi/

but it isn’t what i want, i want this page in hp.

thx to all
regards
Luca

Hi Luca, thanks for getting in touch.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean, but WordPress will not allow the creation of any posts – including events – if they do not have a slug. If one wasn’t specified, the system will automatically generate it.

It’s a popular request (to add events or event views to the homepage) and we hope to facilitate this in a future release. Right now though we’d regard this as an advanced customization and not one we can offer too much help with, unfortunately.

If you are familiar with coding – and coding for WordPress – you could review our technical docs and functions like tribe_get_view() in particular and think about building what you need that way. However, there are quite a lot of things you would need to take care of to pull this off – including enqueuing the correct scripts and styles.

Alternatively, you might embed a suitable widget (calendar or list widgets) in a homepage-specific sidebar and style and customize it to cover more space and include more information. Our Themer’s Guide is a good starting point if this approach is of interest:

Good luck!

Hi Barry,
unfortunanly i am a good php dev, but no much exp with wp coding hook and filter 🙁
So now i think is the moment to grow up my know how with this.

My first question was ambiguos due to my bad english: we want in hp list events view, the same page at /events/.
If i understand right, i could obtain this only create a new template and use tribe_get_view(), right? (or with sidebar widget)
I read about https://theeventscalendar.com/queries-and-pagination/ and i tried it, but i had some problem with “enqueuing the correct scripts and styles.”

Do you have some tutorials or existing examples that show how to do it or i am to create it?

Hi Barry,
i’ve done! Is not more flexible but it works 🙂
Now please help me with the query:
$upcoming = new WP_Query();
$upcoming->query(array(
‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,
‘eventDisplay’ => ‘past’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 10,
‘paged’ => $paged)
);

Could you send me a link or explain how tribe filter events works with WP_Query and which param/options i could use?

thx very much!
Luca

It’s often better to use tribe_get_events() in this sort of scenario (than working directly with WP_Query) though it does depend on what you are trying to accomplish.

Please also share code by linking to a service like Pastebin or Gist, otherwise the forum is, unfortunately, likely to strip out pieces of code.

I’m not sure that we have a consolidated resource that explains how The Events Calendar / Events Calendar PRO interacts with WP_Query, however a lot of information is spread out through the following:

* Themer’s Guide for The Events Calendar
* The Events Calendar: Tutorials
* Technical Documentation

If you can highlight what you want to do we might be able to give you a push in the right direction, but often it is a matter of spending some time figuring things out by trial and error.

Hi Barry,
i think we are near to find the right script!

I see this:
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
‘eventDisplay’ => ‘custom’,
‘start_date’ => $today,
‘end_date’ => $tomorrow
) );

Now, i want to get events in a date range, for example from 20 Dec to 25 Dec.
How have i to set the query? (is possible set this kind of query or i have to retrieve all events and then check their start_date?)
What is the difference between from start_date and EventStartDate?

[erictondelli]

*i want to get events in a date range, for example from 20 Dec to 25 Dec
where event’s start_date(EventStartDate) is between 20 Dec and 25 Dec

[Barry]

That looks like it should do the trick Eric – so long as you are using a date format like yyyy-mm-dd and increment the end date parameter so it is one day ahead of your desired end date.

It’s been a while without any follow-up so I’m going to assume we’re all good and will close this thread. Of course if you do still require further support please don’t hesitate to create a new thread or threads as needed. Thanks!
