List Widget layout

[Barry Wales]

Have updated today the latest version Event Calendar Pro.
The widget List layout is not right. No split line split between descriptions and date/time. Showing recurring events and final date – these were not in previous release.
How does one edit layout and remove recurring events? Have tried editing list-widget.php but could change layout apart from adding image.

Same – messed up my widget recurring events display – client was on the phone stressing out – couldn’t find any way to quickly get it back to the ‘old’ style. Have had to go back to 3.5 for now.

Hi webquest – definitely feel free to follow this thread, but if the problem turns out not to be the same in your case it would be easiest to split your own query off into a new thread 🙂

@barrywales it looks like you’ve customized the list widget – can you confirm? If so, please be aware that a number of changes were implemented with regards to the list widget. Can you try removing your customizations and then check if it works as expected?

[Barry Wales]

I added the image to the latest widget code. The problem was with the widget before I updated it with the picture

I’m having the same problem and the only customization I did to the widget was in css, which I removed and the problem did not go away. You can see my “upcoming Events” in the right sidebar at http://fishersisland.net/ the box used to be the same height as the slider on the left and now my client is upset with the “added clutter”. Can you please offer, what file needs to be changed to remove the recurrence data? I also looked at list-widget.php and other files but had no luck. – thanks

My problem is the same as insitemodt describes. Client has 2 events that occur weekly (On a Wednesday and a Friday) set up as a recurring series. They set them to finish in mid 2015 (coz the system needed an end date). The widget used to show the next wednesday, then the next friday, then the next wednesday, then the next friday etc (I had it set to show the next 6 events so users could see the dates – coz thats what they’re after).

When I updated to 3.6 It simply showed two events – A Wednesday and a Friday with a line underneath saying ‘recurring event every week unitil July 2015’. No specific dates and it seemed as if the events finished in 2015 which is not the case.

BTW – Awesome plugin tho guys @ MOdern tribe – my first use of it and client has found it very user friendly and easy to get around – great work!

I would also be interested in how to remove the reoccurance info from the list widget.
I believe the answer lies somewhere within the tribe_events_event_schedule_details function, but I don’t want to mess with it without some guidance.
For now, I’m removing the widget from my layout.

[insitemodt]

I did a temporary work-around to hide the recurring event data with css:
div .widget-container div .recurringinfo {display:none;}

Hi everyone, once again please do feel free to monitor the thread – but I’m only going to be looking at the issues raised by barrywales here: if you need individual support, please create new threads of your own.

@barrywales: dealing with the recurring events first of all, can you confirm if the recurring event instances checkbox (in the Events Settings General admin screen) is checked? If it is not, can you check it and save the change then see if that resolves the problem? I’m guessing when you say it’s showing recurring events you mean it is showing more than just the next upcoming event in a sequence – if so, that setting should resolve this.

No split line split between descriptions and date/time.

Can you clarify the problem? Do you mean that the event title and date/time are not broken up so they sit on separate lines?

[insitemodt]

Just in case this helps solve this quicker … I think 1 of the 2 issues Barry raised regarding “it’s showing recurring events that were not in previous release” may be the same problem we are all having. I already tried checking the recurring event instances check box and that did not resolve it for me. It is not showing the recurring events themselves, it is just showing text that indicates there are recurring events and you can click to see them.
The previous widget showed 2 lines of text:
Name of Event
Date and Time
The widget after the upgrade this week now shows 4 lines:
Name of Event
Date and Time
| Recurring Event (See all)
Every week until end date
It is not a rush for me as I now have a temporary work-around to hide the newly added text, but it would be nice to know if there is a fix or if we have to wait for future upgrade?

[Barry Wales]

Clarification of my issue:
1. The event title and the date and time are all on the same line. There should be line break after the event title to a new line for the date and time.
2. Recurring events
Here is how it shows on my website.
Church ‘Home’ Group Tuesday, 3 June 2014 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
|Recurring Event (See all)
Every week until Tuesday, 24 June 2014

The | Recurring… onwards should not be there at all (2nd and 3rd lines should not be shown)

[Barry Wales]

I have tried checking and unchecking the recurring options in the Settings panels. Not making any difference.

[Barry]

OK – let’s deal with this first:

1. The event title and the date and time are all on the same line. There should be line break after the event title to a new line for the date and time.

This seems to me to be the result of your customization work. Ordinarily the entry title is an <h4> element whereas it appears to have been customized and is a <paragraph> element in your customized version. That’s fine, but if you’re going to make those sorts of changes you really need to be responsible for applying the necessary CSS to format them as you would like.

In this case though you might try adding a new CSS rule like this one:

section.tribe-events-adv-list-widget paragraph.entry-title { display: block }

Does that help/clarify that point?

[Barry Wales]

I have removed the modified widget from my theme library. The problem is still there in the original widget.
I have left my website for you to see – http://www.harefieldchurh.org

[Barry Wales]

it has sorted the line break – my fault.
But the recurring option still remains
