Hi.
I purchased/installed the events calender 3.0.
So far so good, but I’m trying to do a little more tweaking.
1. In the “events list” widget, can the widget display a mini 150×150 (approximate) size picture next to the event?
2. Currently the same widget displays the date/time and date posted.
Can I just have it show only the date and start time?
3. Also the link to the event posted doesn’t seem to be working. Any thoughts?
4. Lastly, this is a non-widget related question. Why does my site display differently in your site’s URL (www.zavas.ca) where it’s supposed to be (www.za-vas.ca)Hi!
For the first issue, please go ahead and checkout our Themer’s Guide and Technical Docs (links over in Useful Resources on the right) – you pretty much have complete freedom to customize and are really limited only by your imagination 🙂
Currently the same widget displays the date/time and date posted.
That shouldn’t happen, of course – I did visit your site but couldn’t see an example: can you share a URL that will let me see this problem?
Also the link to the event posted doesn’t seem to be working.
Again, that shouldn’t happen. But please also try flushing your permalinks (simply visit Settings > Permalinks – you don’t need to adjust anything) and also try our standard troubleshooting steps: deactivate all non Modern Tribe plugins and revert to a default theme such as Twenty Twelve (and see if that resolves this).
Lastly, this is a non-widget related question. Why does my site display differently in your site’s URL (www.zavas.ca) where it’s supposed to be (www.za-vas.ca)
I’m not too clear about this one. Where do you see it written as http://www.zavas.ca?
Hi … I am also seeing that in the List Widget, the link to the event posted doesn’t seem to be working. I have too many plugins on a live site to disable things right now … so I tried on a fresh install. Twenty Twelve theme. Put in a few links. I am getting links … but not to the specific calendar events.
Update … I figured out that links weren’t working for me with the FREE 3.0 version of the plugin. Once I upgraded to Pro, all the links work fine. My problem is resolved.
Excellent to hear this got you sorted, David. I just want to confirm: are you saying it didn’t work in free, but worked when you bought PRO? Or were you running versions inconsistently (ie 2.0.11 of PRO vs 3.0 of core)? Let me know…if the former, I’d like to get that sorted.
Since the idea is not for people to have to buy PRO just to get basic functionality…if that was indeed the problem, let me know so I can have the team fix whatever we need to in the core/free version. Thanks!
Hi Rob. I was running 2.0.11 (Free) fine, and the List Widget worked great. When I upgraded to 3.0 (Free), all the links to individual calendar items stopped working. (Source code showed the ahref tag with nothing between the quotes.)So, it was after upgrading 2.0.11 FREE to 3.0 FREE that it happened. (BTW, now that I see all the bells and whistles that 3.0 PRO has to offer, I’m glad I upgraded!)
Thanks for reporting back, David 🙂
@zavastoronto: how are you getting on here?Hi Barry,
I managed to figure out the #3 only. As for the rest no luck.
I find the coding aspect confusing, likely because I’m a newbie to coding.
For the issue where multiple dates are appearing, I still can’t figure it out. I just want the date of the event and time to appear, not the time for when it finishes as well. For what I mean, go here: http://www.za-vas.ca/ (at the very bottom in the middle is a single event posted).Ideally I’m looking to use your widget, and customize it enough so it looks something like this: http://chicagodesavanja.us/ (I believe they may be using your program as well) ….but essentially I want a small 150×150 graphic of event, link/info and date on right side to show.
OK, so regarding removal of the end time first of all, please familiarize yourself with our Themer’s Guide to get some of the relevant background:
https://tri.be/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/
Basically though you would copy this file:
plugins/events-calendar-pro/views/widgets/list-widget.php
And place a copy within a subdirectory (you may need to create these) within your theme directory, like so:
themes/YOUR_THEME/tribe-events/widgets/list-widget.php
Then customize it to suit. 0Here’s an example where the end date is removed that you could use in your custom version of list-widget.php.
Does that help?
Hi duvaldemocrats,
Because I don’t want this thread to be derailed from helping zavastoronto (who posted originally) and also because it can be confusing to have lots of voices in here with different problems and at different stages of the troubleshooting process, as it were, can I ask you to create a new thread about your specific problem?
One of the team will then be happy to help 🙂

The ‘Upcoming Events’ Widget Link does not direct to the specific event posting. What am I missing?I was having the same issue where the widget did not link to the event, but to the home page of the blog instead
the code is incorrect in this file:
/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/widgets/list-widget.php
the broken way: php tribe_get_event_link()
should be: php echo tribe_get_event_link()
edit and save that file, and all works great@mprattmd: That worked – thank you!
Hey folks. Thanks to mprattmd for getting a patch up here. Curious though: was it formatted the broken way for you when you updated, by default? I just did a fresh install of the tagged release and it showed the proper formatting, which makes me wonder if the error is only triggered on updating. Let me know whether this occurred after you re-added the widget or if you didn’t have to take that step.
cleanlakesalliance: assuming yours was the same problem as discussed above, does the solution presented there help? Let me know if not and I’ll see what we can do.
