GET DIRECTION + ADD TO CALENDAR

[Whitney Mitchell]

Hi, I need to know if The Event Calendar is capable of the following:

I need a button that says “Get Directions” so that the users native phone map app opens, and they are able to get directions to the event.

I also need the users to be able to add the events to their native phone calendar (iPhone or android) and set an alert for the event once it is added to their calendar.

Hello Patty,

The Events Calendar unfortunately does not have a “driving directions” button, but it does include a map of the event locations that is tied to Google Maps and can be provided from there.

And, yes, the calendar is capable of exporting events to another calendar. Take this sample event, for instance, which includes buttons to either add the event to a Google Calendar or to download the ICS file for the event, which would be opened and added to a calendar app, including on iPhone/Android.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

1. I tried to add some custom CSS into the Custom CSS area of my Avada theme, and it changed some other things. I now do not see the google calendar, or the Venue area of the event page. I was able to change the color of the Details title bar which is what I was trying to accomplish, but I am not sure why that would have gotten rid of my google calendar and Venue area?

See here: http://rodeoaccess.com/event/lubbock-tx/

2. On the Events Calendar Demo, when I click “Export to iCal” and add it to my calendar, it gives the option to set an alert. However, when I try to add an event from MY website, the alert area doesn’t show up. Please advise? The alert area is VERY important to my business…

3. I need to change the text such as “Start” “End” and “iCal Export” please advise on how to do this? I am using the most recent version of Avada, not a child theme.

HELP!! I added the following code to my functions.php file of the Avada Child theme and now my site isn’t working and I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting ‘)’ in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas13_data02/02/3045302/html/wp-content/themes/Avada-Child-Theme/functions.php on line 16

I was trying to add this code:
$custom_text = array(
‘Start:’ => ‘Entries Open:’,
‘End:’ => ‘Entries Close:’,

I am going to try to reset my site to a backup. Please advise!!!

Geoff,

I reset the site, and had to install the plugins again. I was able to change the title bar colors, and the map and venue area are now showing. However I need to know how to change the following:

URL: http://rodeoaccess.com/event/san-antonio-tx/

Changes:

1. Remove Google Calendar button

2. Change text on iCal Export to “ADD TO CALENDAR”

3. Change “Details” to “Deadlines:

4. Change “Start” to “Entries Open” and “End” to “Entries Close”

5. Change “Venue” to “Location”

6. Change “Google Map” to “Get Directions”

7. I would also like to remove the dates on the Event Title. I just want it to show the Event Title.

Hi Patty,

Thanks for following up!

I’m happy to help you with these additional questions but do want to note that we are fairly limited in how much support we provide for custom development. On that note, let’s see what we’ve got.

1. Remove Google Calendar button

This CSS should do the trick:

.tribe-events-gcal {
display: none;
}

2. Change text on iCal Export to “ADD TO CALENDAR”
3. Change “Details” to “Deadlines:
4. Change “Start” to “Entries Open” and “End” to “Entries Close”
5. Change “Venue” to “Location”
6. Change “Google Map” to “Get Directions”

I would suggest following the steps in this tutorial, which covers how to change wording for anything in the calendar.

7. I would also like to remove the dates on the Event Title. I just want it to show the Event Title.

This CSS should clear that out:

.fusion-events-featured-image .fusion-events-single-title-content .tribe-events-schedule {
display: none !important;
}

I hope this helps!

Geoff
