Just purchased TEC and am very pleased with it overall. However, I’ve got a rendering problem that I’ve already wasted too much time trying to figure out myself… I’ve seen the topic that seems to describe my issue, but neither of the suggested solutions are solving it. I have used the widget shortcode on a page to display the current month in full-screen mode. When I view the month (page) via a menu link on the front-end, I get what I believe to be the responsive view. (I’ve got screenshots, but can’t figure out how to include them here.) If, however, I select “View Calendar” option from the “Events” menu on the WP Dashboard, the calendar displays perfectly… I’m using HB-Themes’ Highend (actually the child-theme), and as I said, have added the snippets suggested in the topic that seems to relate to this. One changes the width to 600px (I’ve actually tried taking it all the way down to 100px just for grins, with no change in rendering), and the other turns off responsiveness for the calendar altogether. I’ve also deactivated all plugins and reverted to Twenty-Fourteen, still with no discernible effect. I’m really at a loss. This seems to be an outstanding plugin–perfect for our needs–but if I can’t get it to render properly on a large screen (without hosing responsiveness, hopefully), it’s a big problem. Any suggestions?
Hey Mark,
Welcome to the forums and thanks for your support! Stoked to hear you snagged PRO and glad that you’re pleased with it so far. 🙂
I’ve definitely seen this sort of thing pop up in the past–Month View displays in small screen mode when viewed on large screens.
The good news is that we have an article that not only outlines the problem, but provides a solution for you as well. Please do check that out and let me know if it helps clear things up.
Cheers!
GeoffThanks for your reply, Geoff. I think I wasn’t very clear in my original post… I have seen–and tried–both the suggestions in the article you reference, and can’t get either one of them to resolve the problem. I played around with the container width setting in the first snippet, but to no avail (in either my own theme, or in Twenty-fourteen with all plugins deactivated). Then I tried the snippet that turns off responsive behavior altogether–still with no success. I’m looking for other suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong.
thanks!Oh shoot! My apologies and thanks for clarifying.
It’s really strange that happens in Twenty Fourteen as well. Do you happen to have the “Default Event Template” selected under Events > Settings > Display? If not, please do try that and let’s see if that makes a difference.
Thanks and sorry again for the miscommunication!
Geoff
No worries, Geoff… I have the Tribe Events Styles button set along with the Default Events Template. I thought it might be an issue with the Highend theme, but as I said, I get the same results with the Twenty-Fourteen template. I’ve cleared my cache as well. And again, when I select the menu option Events>View Calendar from the Dashboard, the calendar renders perfectly–beautifully, in fact. (Well, except for the centering of “Return to Current Month” link for which I created a different support ticket–but that’s only a minor thing.) It’s just when I render the actual page containing the short-code in the front-end that I see this behavior, and of course, that’s where I don’t need it. I’m sure it must be something I’m doing wrong, but danged if I can figure out what it is… I can supply screen shots to document all this if I only knew how…
thanks!OK, Geoff. I’ve done a little more testing here, and found something very interesting… Just for grins, I downloaded the current WordPress package, installed a pristine copy, set Twenty-Fourteen as the theme, installed TEC and EC-Pro, created a single event (recurring), and created one page with only the TEC short-code on it. When I “View Page”, I get the responsive version of the calendar… So… I called up Twenty-Fourteen’s functions.php file and added the code suggested in the snippet for turning off responsive rendering altogether (
add_filter( 'tribe_events_kill_responsive', '__return_true');). When I “View Page” I still get the responsive version…So, it’s not HB-Themes, and it’s not another plugin. That leaves only two possibilities that I can think of: it’s either something in my development environment or it’s something in TEC. As for the first possibility, I’m using wampserver 2.5, which includes Apache 2.4.9, php 5.5.12, and MySQL 5.6.17. I’m not technical enough to know whether any of this could be causing the problem, but suspect the answer is “no”. Hope this helps you to help me…
Oh, wait! Are you talking about the shortcode rather than the calendar page itself? If so, that will indeed always been in a mobile view because it is embedded the mini calendar rather than the full calendar itself. Is that what’s happening?
Geoff
Uh, I guess so… OK, so maybe the better way to approach this is to ask, how do I display the month view on a full page (i.e., not a sidebar)? I thought the only way to do it was to use the short-code… In other words, I’ve got an item on my Main Menu called “X”. In the dropdown beneath it is an option “Planning Calendar”. When the user selects “Planning Calendar” they should see a page with a full month-view calendar on it. I’ve been monkeying with this so long now, the answer is probably impossibly simple–but how do I accomplish that?
If I’m correct that this is a simple answer, then please accept my apologies in advance for taking up your time on this.
This same issue is happening to me too. I added the recommended snippets to my functions.php and nothing changes. I have not used any shortcodes either.
Hi Mark,
Yeah, I think we’re totally on the same page now!
The full Month View unfortunately cannot be embedded on any page. However, you can link directly to it from your main menu. For example the default URL for Month View right out of the box is:
[your-site]/events/month
You can even link directly to a specific category:
[your-site]/events/month/category/[category-slug]
That will allow you to add the Month View directly to your site’s menu so that, when clicked, the visitor will be taken directly to the full Month View.
Does that make sense and will that work for you? Please let me know!
Thanks,
GeoffHey @straycatco, and thanks for chiming in here as well! You’re totally welcome to follow along here while Mark and I work on this together. If you would like direct support for your question, please do open a new thread and we’d be happy to help you there. 🙂
Cheers!
GeoffThat’s gonna work… Actually, I’d already figured out what I thought was a hack by stealing the url from the “Where’s my calendar? Right here.” link on the settings page, but was kind of hoping there was a little more elegant way of doing it — so I could do some page styling. Then I realized I could use the Advanced Template Settings under the Display tab to accomplish most of what I want to accomplish. I’d tried another calendar and it was easier out of the box to style, but their logic — especially on recurring events — was pretty sketchy. Y’all’s seems pretty rock-solid so far, and I think I’ve found my final solution. Styling is a bit more esoteric for someone with not a whole lot of css/php expertise, but it looks good as it is, so it’ll definitely do for now.
So thank you for the assistance and thank you especially for your promptness and patience!
