Integrating Calendar into page

[Abby]

Hi –

I cannot figure out how to integrate the calendar into my page template. I have tried to add a folder and modify the template as described in your resource far area, but I don’t think I have access to create folders within my theme.

If I buy the pro version, is there a widget that I will definitely be able to add into a page? I would like the end result to look more like this showcase example and be integrated into the body of my page. – https://theeventscalendar.com/showcase/falkner-house-london/

Currently my events calendar just looks like this – http://abbyevansphotography.com/events/ – which has no branding or website characteristics at all.

Thank you!
Abby

Hey Abby,

With The Events Calendar, there is no way to embed the calendar anywhere other than the official main calendar.

If I buy the pro version, is there a widget that I will definitely be able to add into a page?

☝️ With Events Calendar Pro, there isn’t a widget per se, but there is a shortcode called [tribe_events] that will generate full calendar views! 😀

So you could do something like this in a PHP template:


<?php echo do_shortcode( '[tribe_events]' ); ?>


Check out this knowledgebase article for more information on this sort of thing → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/can-you-have-multiple-calendars/

I hope this helps! Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with.

Sincerely,
George

Hi George –

Thanks for the help! So, in the example referenced (https://theeventscalendar.com/showcase/falkner-house-london/) – how is the calendar “embedded” in the page with their menu and branding?

Is this done through setting up a template? If so – I have set up a template, but it does not flow through to the Event’s Calendar area under the Display tab.

Thanks!
Abby

When I try to use the default “page template” in the Display tab – I receive this error –

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (0) at position 0 (0): Unexpected character’ in /home/abby/public_html/wp-content/themes/prophoto6/vendor/netrivet/prophoto-classes/src/Infrastructure/WordPress/Post/PostFactory.php:27 Stack trace: #0 /home/abby/public_html/wp-content/themes/prophoto6/vendor/netrivet/prophoto-classes/src/Infrastructure/WordPress/Post/PostFactory.php(27): DateTime->__construct(‘0’) #1 /home/abby/public_html/wp-content/themes/prophoto6/vendor/netrivet/prophoto-classes/src/Article.php(441): ProPhoto\Infrastructure\WordPress\Post\PostFactory->createFromWpPost(Object(stdClass)) #2 /home/abby/public_html/wp-content/themes/prophoto6/vendor/netrivet/prophoto-classes/src/Article.php(419): ProPhoto\Article->addExcerptImage(”) #3 /home/abby/public_html/wp-content/themes/prophoto6/views/front/article_content.php(7): ProPhoto\Article->excerpt() #4 /home/abby/public_html/wp-content/themes/prophoto6/vendor/netrivet/prophoto-classes/src/View.ph in /home/abby/public_html/wp-content/themes/prophoto6/vendor/netrivet/prophoto-classes/src/Infrastructure/WordPress/Post/PostFactory.php on line 27

Hi Abby,

Thanks for your followups.

When it comes to how specific showcase sites do things, we unfortunately do not know for certain how because we don’t obtain that sort of information from showcase sites—we just notice them doing cool things with our plugins and show them off. You may be able to contact those folks for specific insights from them.

In regards to the error you reported here, it is referencing files within your theme, e.g.:

wp-content/themes/prophoto6/vendor/netrivet/prophoto-classes/src/View.php

So definitely contact the theme support team as to why their files are producing these errors.

---

On another note here, Abby, these forums here are our “Pre-sales Questions” forums, so we unfortunately cannot field technical support questions here.

Is there anything else of a pre-sales nature I can try to help with?

Thank you,
George

Thanks for your continued help. Yeah, the original reason I posted here, was to see if the Pro version (or another package) would help me bypass these errors with a widget or other options. If you think they will, I would definitely purchase those, but my concern was that I would pay for the Pro version and face the same technical glitches.

So basically – after learning a bit more about my problem – do you think that the Pro version would help me to bypass these issues?

Hey Abby,

Apologies for the delayed response. When it comes to “bypassing” these errors, there’s not really any way to do that here — with Events Calendar Pro or otherwise.

If you get these errors from your theme when even trying use a page template, then that error should persist regardless because it is emerging from within your theme.

Please let me know if this helps clarify the nature of these errors, and if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with!

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!
