New Installation – Events Calendar PRO.

[Xpert]

Dear Sirs,

I’ve jsut purchased Events Calendar PRO. Sorry to say that m not satisfied with it. No Custom Event Attributes / Clickable Calendar Widget etc. How can I get it?

[Rob]

Hey Xpert. Sorry to hear you aren’t satisfied with the plugin. Not sure I understand what you mean when you say “how can I get it”…do you mean custom event attributes and a clickable calendar widget? If so, both of those come with the PRO release by default and are available out of the box. Let me know if you have questions about how to access them.

[Xpert]

Thank you Rob La Gatta for your reply. I’ve Purchased PRO. I am using it in a Arabic Language Website. So Instead of Hard Coding “wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\views\single.php” I want to rename it from the admin. But unfortunately, I didn’t find it in the admin. Please let me know how to access Clickable Calendar and Custom Event Attributes. Thanks Rob.

Hey Xpert. Thanks for confirming. This is a bit outside my area of expertise, but I can get our developer Jonah to take a look and share his thoughts. He’ll respond here shortly.

Hi Xpert, I don’t understand what you mean by “Clickable Calendar and Custom Event Attributes” or what you’re trying to accomplish. Can you be more specific please?

[Xpert]

Hi Jonah, Thanks for passing by.

I want to rename the fields for example : ‘Venue’ to ‘Theater’ like that.
Also, the sidebar calendar , i want to make single day clickable. I am using PRO. Hope this is clear.

[Rob]

Hey Xpert. Jonah can comment as to the renaming of the fields; but for the sidebar calendar, you’re going to have to do some customization to get the single days clickable. As it stands now you can only click into specific events on a given single day since we intentionally designed that to be pretty bare bones. However, on the customization front, perhaps this will help you: https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-completely-customize-widgets/.

I’ll let Jonah comment as to the other.

Hi Xpert,

Regarding the renaming of fields, there’s 2 different ways you can do this:
If you are translating into a different language, you can follow these instructions:

1. Open the .pot file from the plugin folder in POEdit.
2. Make the changes to whatever word(s) you want to translate, leaving the rest untouched.
3. When you’re done, save to generate the new .po and .mo files.
4. Label those newly-saved files with whatever language code you deem appropriate, then save them in the lang folder.
5. In your WP config file, change the language to reflect that corresponding code.

We are in the process of putting together a broader walkthrough on this, but in the interim hopefully this will give you what you need. You may also want to read these 2 articles: http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress and http://urbangiraffe.com/articles/translating-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/ which contain more information on translating with WordPress.

If you do end up doing a full translation of the plugin into your own language, please let us know so that we can include your translation file into the plugin for others to use!

If you all you want to do is change one or a few words within the plugin, then there is a different approach you can use, using a WordPress filter. This requires some basic knowledge of PHP and the WordPress hook system, which is somewhat beyond what I can explain on this forum, but here’s the gist of it. I’ve commented the code so that you can understand what I am doing in the example: https://gist.github.com/95eeadc2515ada3a41cc

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any furthered questions.

Thank you Joachim Kudish.
To get the single days clickable in calendar, what is the custom development i need to do? Please advise. Thanks.

[Xpert]

btw, https://gist.github.com/95eeadc2515ada3a41cc is really helpful – Thansk for that.

Hi Xpert,

The single days are already clickable in the calendar. Can you specify or elaborate what specifically you’re trying to do and we can help?

[Xpert]

I am talking about the mini calendar. Iam calling it like this:

It has no clickable single day.
Thanks.

Hi Xpert,

I apologize for mis-understanding your request and thanks for clarifying. You can accomplish this by

You need to overwrite the views/table-mini.php (from the plugin folder) by adding a new folder named ‘events’ inside your theme and copying that file in it. Then you will have to modify it based on the following code https://gist.github.com/b37552eee9efcc0a53a5. Inside the code, I added comments to the lines you will need to modify, specifically lines 71, and 86-100. Please note that the tribe_get_linked_day() function which generates the link for each day is a PRO function, so you will need the PRO version of the plugin activated for this to work.

I’m going to check with the rest of the team, but if everyone agrees, we’ll add this in as a feature by default for the upcoming 2.1 update.

Cheers

[Xpert]
