Move `load_ecp_into_page_template` to a custom hook

[Andy Clements]

For years, I’ve had issues with the way Tribe Events inserts its custom templates, and for years, I’ve tried to fix it, to no avail.

Because Tribe Events hooks in to the_content to insert its templates, many filters get applied to the markup that I don’t want to be applied. For example, line breaks (<br>) get added when line breaks appear in the templates, paragraph tags wrap comments, etc. It’s essentially just as bad as using a shortcode.

The solution I’ve been trying to implement is rather simple; I want to unhook load_ecp_into_page_template from the_content, and instead hook it in to tribe_events_templates. This sounds easy, but because of the way the classes are constructed, I’ve had a hell of a time figuring out exactly how to do this.

I would greatly appreciate a little guidance from one of your developers on how to achieve this goal.

The line in question is located at src/Tribe/Templates.php:293. It’s part of the function setup_ecp_template, which is part of the class Tribe__Events__Templates, which extends the class Tribe__Templates.

If I’m going about this completely wrong, please let me know. Any guidance on how to display the templates without passing them through the_content() would be great.

To be clear, the hook tribe_events_templates is a custom one that I want to add to my theme; the name can change if it needs to, that doesn’t particularly matter.

Hi Andy!

Thanks for reaching out. I’m not sure if this is possible outside of the Tribe_Events_Templates class, and without using the_content.

This sort of customization is a bit beyond the scope of what I can provide for you here. However, we do have a special queue for customization requests that I can add you to. There’s no guarantees of if and when someone will be able to fulfill this request, but someone will take a look at it as soon as possible.

Thanks, and good luck!

I think I finally figured this out with the following code:

// determine if the current page is a tribe page
function is_tribe_page() {
    $queried_object = get_queried_object();

    $post_id = isset($post) ? $post->ID : (isset($queried_object->ID) ? $queried_object->ID : 0);
    $term_id = isset($queried_object->term_id) ? $queried_object->term_id : 0;

    if (function_exists("tribe_is_month") && tribe_is_month() && !is_tax()) {
    	return array(
            "archive"  => true,
            "view"     => "month",
            "taxonomy" => false,
            "term_id"  => 0,
        );
    } elseif (function_exists("tribe_is_month") && tribe_is_month() && is_tax()) {
        return array(
            "archive"  => true,
            "view"     => "month",
            "taxonomy" => true,
            "term_id"  => $term_id,
        );
    } elseif (function_exists("tribe_is_past") && tribe_is_past() && !is_tax()) { // List View Page
        return array(
            "archive"  => true,

        );

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.
