New Template (not override)

[Chad]

Hello,

I am attempting to create a template to contain a print-friendly version of a list view of my calendar. My list view also contains a few custom fields using (ACF) and I want it to only display a specific week.

Note: I do not want to override an existing template. I want to create a new one.

My approach was:

1) copy src/views/list/* to my-child-theme/tribe-events/list-print/ directory.
2) create a new standard WordPress template, moving the content from src/views/list/content.php into WordPress template, and changing all instances of tribe_get_template_part so that

tribe_get_template_part( 'list/nav', 'header' )

becomes

tribe_get_template_part( 'list-print/nav', 'header' )

The page is displaying the basic event information, but the venue information doesn’t seem to be populating.

I’m wondering:
1) what is the correct way to create a WordPress template (not page or post) that contains a list view which I can style for print and
2) if there is a better way of accomplishing this?

BTW – I first attempted shortcodes but they don’t use my ACF fields and are limited in filtering options.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Chad!

Thanks for reaching out to us! 🙂

While our “Terms of Service” doesn’t allow us to do customizations, we do like helping out and at least point users into the right direction. That said, let me try to help you with this.

You could start by creating a new template page for your theme and then construct a custom query of events in it, either using tribe_get_events() as the basis of the query, or the default WordPress get_posts() function in which you would make a calle for the tribe_events post type

Additionally, there is a good article on creating print styles for WordPress here > https://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_for_Print

I hope that helps. Let me know if any other questions.

Best!

Thanks Victor. tribe_get_events() is definitely the easy way to go. Looks like it hooks into the WP post data as well – I was able to pull my ACF in the loop.

Thanks!
