list-widget

This is a follow-up question to a previous topic which is now closed.

Previous question:
I would like the View more link to go to a list instead of the calendar. Can this be done even though the default view of the Events (main page) is Calendar?

Previous answer:
Thanks for reaching out to us!

You can accomplish this by following our Themer’s Guide to copy the list widget file found within the core Events Calendar plugin at src > views > widgets > list-widget.php file and copying it into your theme and modifying that link within that file to link to “/events/list”.

Let me know if this helps.

Follow-up question:
Can you provide the specific code for “modifying that link within that file to link to “/events/list” ?

Hello Audrey,

Sure! It’s changing this:

<p class="tribe-events-widget-link">
<a href="<?php esc_attr_e( esc_url( $link_to_all ) ) ?>" rel="bookmark">
<?php esc_html_e( 'View More&hellip;', 'tribe-events-calendar-pro' ) ?>
</a>
</p>

…to this:

<p class="tribe-events-widget-link">
<a href="/events/list" rel="bookmark">
<?php esc_html_e( 'View More&hellip;', 'tribe-events-calendar-pro' ) ?>
</a>
</p>

Do note, however, that correct file to do that in is located in the Events Calendar PRO plugin, under src/views/widgets/list-widget. The original answer advised you to look in the core plugin.

Cheers!
Geoff

Geoff,

I implemented this change but the ‘View More’ link still produces the calendar as the default, not a list. I did have to use a path slightly different from the one you mention. i.e.,

src/views/pro/widgets/list-widget.php

Any ideas??

[Geoff]

Hmm, that is very strange. It seems to work when I give it a try, so that’s perplexing.

What happens if you try making the change to the original file from the first reply you got? Does that make a difference?

Geoff

[audrey]

The first reply suggested this –
“copy the list widget file found within the core Events Calendar plugin at src > views > widgets > list-widget.php file”

Can you provide me with the complete path to this file? The path I am using to get to the Pro file is –
/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets

[Geoff]

Sure! It’s located at:

wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/widgets/list-widget.php

[audrey]

The code is a little different in this list-widget.php file. I assume I will use the replacement code

as before. What code should I replace in this file? Probably
” rel=”bookmark”>
Is that correct?

[audrey]

Geoff,

I see on the Forum that parts of my message are missing. I’m not sure what happened. Since the code is a little different in this list-widget.php file I was asking about what edit to make.

[Geoff]

Hi Audrey,

Yes, please try adding the code I provided to that file where you would like the View More link to appear and that should do the trick.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi Geoff

I made the edit and tried the new list-widget.php file. Still did not work.
Here is the edited file code snippet –

<p class="tribe-events-widget-link">
		<a href="/events/list" rel="bookmark">
		<?php printf( esc_html__( 'View All %s', 'the-events-calendar' ), $events_label_plural ); ?></a>
	</p>

Hi Geoff,

I don’t think this is going to work for me. Any other suggestions before I give up on this?

[Geoff]

Hey Audrey,

So sorry for the trouble with this!

I’ve been able to make the change on my test site, so let’s start back at the beginning so I can outline how I did it.

• Make a copy of the list-widget.php file. It’s located at /wp-content/plugins/events-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/list-widget.php
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Make a new folder in that one called pro
• Make a new folder in that one called widgets
• Drop the copied list-widget.php file into that last folder
• Replace the code in the copied list-widget.php with this code
• Save changes

Following these steps did the trick for me. Do they work for you too?

Thanks so much!
Geoff

[audrey]

Good news, it works!!

The steps you gave me are a little different from what I was doing. Not sure how I got off track.

Many thanks.

[Geoff]

Awesome! Nice work and so glad to hear that did the trick. I know customizations aren’t always easy, so high fives for getting it done. 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but do please feel free to reach back out if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help.

Cheers,
Geoff
