Insert gravity form under event details section

[Linda]

I’ve embeded a gravity form in the description section of an event but that pushes the details section down the page. Can you tell me if there is a way to easily insert the shortcode for the form so that it appear below the event details block? Thanks

[Linda]

Been thinking about this. I wonder if I could register a widget area and then have it inserted below the event details of the events template?

I’m using Genesis framework. I can handle registering the widget area, but will need the code and direction on how and were to insert it so that I can insert this form on every event details page.

Hi, Linda.

Please try out this upcoming extension: https://theeventscalendar.com/content/uploads/2016/12/tribe-ext-calendar-widget-areas.zip

Please let me know how this goes for you, and please do try to “break it” since it’s not fully released yet (I’m expecting 1-2 weeks).

Thanks!

This plugin is totally a step in the right direction and I could see how it could be very helpful. However, it really doesn’t give me the kind of control that I have with the rest of the website using Beaver Builder. I really wish that your plugin fully supported Beaver Builder. Then the components on the page could be moved around with ease.

Going forward, how can I insert a widget area in the slot specified in this screenshot below. I can register the widget in Genesis, butI would need direction no how to call the widget in the location I want in the events template. Can you help?

A couple of after thoughts…

If you could make it possible to insert a widget area after the description, my problem would be solved.

If you could make it so that most of the elements on the events pages could be toggled on or off by default in the events settings, and then could be added via a widget area, that would be the next best thing to a drag and drop page layout designer.

For instance, if I could disable the event info block in display settings and then add that same event info block via a widget area exactly where I wanted it.

The Simply Show Hooks plugin is really helpful for answering this question; you might want to try it in the future.

For this specific ask, I modified the upcoming extension to be able to satisfy your request. Please download this latest (beta) version at https://theeventscalendar.com/content/uploads/2017/02/tribe-ext-calendar-widget-areas.zip

Please do provide feedback after testing it.

Dude, I could kiss you. That worked like a charm. I think this is going to make a lot of people very happy.

Question:

What’s the difference between?

“TEC Single: Below Details (Earlier)”

and

“TEC Single: Below Details (Later)”

Ha ha, awesome!

Well because Related Events and Event Tickets use the tribe_events_single_event_after_the_meta action hook, I had to add two separate widget areas on this same hook: one with a lower priority (earlier) and one with a higher priority (later).

I was trying to avoid “Below Details (above Related and Tickets)” and “Below Details (below Related and Tickets)” for brevity’s sake but wasn’t sure if it would be clear enough wording. Unfortunately, I guess it’s not… I’m open to rewording suggestions…

🙂

Cliff, Although it’s not labeled as such, I see the section where you post info in the wordpress editor as the description of the event. So, intuitively, I would probably say:

“Below Description (above details block)”

Then for the other one, what you have is perfect:

“Below Details (below Related and Tickets)”

You did a good thing for your customers. Thank you!

[Cliff]

Thanks for your feedback.

I want to be clear so here’s an image to demonstrate that there are two Below Details areas: https://cl.ly/2C020L073t2I

I’m looking for a better way to phrase Earlier and Later. I wanted to avoid calling it “TEC Single: Below Details (Above/Below Related and Tickets)” because 1) it’s long, and 2) what if someone does not have PRO active (to enable Related Events) and also does not have Event Tickets active (and therefore there aren’t Related or Tickets)…

[Linda]

Cliff,

You raise some valid points that I did not consider because I simply did not realize that some of those sections were not available to every user.

Now that I understand, “earlier” and “later” makes perfect sense. *BUT* that is only because now I understand. I didn’t before, so it needs to be clear for the newbies.

Perhaps this would be less ambiguous?

Below Details (Top)
Below Details (Bottom)

When I saw Earlier/ Later, I had no clue whatsoever. It started me thinking in abstract terms. If I saw top/bottom, then I would have clue and would likely just test right there and be like… ahh … ok I see now.

[Cliff]

Good points, and I had some of the same thoughts.

We’ll get this extension released soon! I appreciate your assistance 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
