Not showing "Updated" on the Event once created

[Lydia]

Hi, is there anyway not to show the “Updated” field on an Event once it is created?
Also, is there anyway to make the start and time appear on the same line instead of the pm falling on the second line because there is venue, phone number and address listing on the event as well. the spacing seems off. Or is there anyway to get the “time” to appear underneath the date?

Hi Lydia

You will need to modify your templates. You can customise your templates by copying them to your theme’s directory.

1. copy single.php into your theme’s directory. (single.php is located here plguins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php

2. is it possible for you to take a screenshot of the way everything is displayed on your event page.

3. the code changes will be simple, but need to see the screenshot first to understand exactly what you’d like to do…

Hi Henry,
Thanks for responding. Here’s a screenshot http://networkinglinks.net/images/eventsqanda.jpg

Hi Lydia,

OK so if you copy single.php into your theme’s directory. We need to make some minor modifications to it. You can find single.php here plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php. Open single.php for editing…

1. To remove “Updated”:
http://pastie.org/3830433

2. To make the time on a new line:
http://pastie.org/3830519

Lydia: Henry’s suggestion above should be spot-on. Want to give it a go and let us know the results?

[Lydia]

Ok I’ll try that….but here’s a twist, instead of making the time on a new line. Can I increase the margin so that the line can go longer that it currently does …see screenshot…http://networkinglinks.net/images/eventmargin.jpg.

Oh! and also can the above steps Henry suggested also work with the free version of the event calendar? I’m using both – I have two different sites. Thanks!

[Henry]

Add this to your theme’s stylesheet (.css file)

dt {
width: 150px;
}

Note: You can make the column bigger by increasing the ‘150’ or make it skinny by decreasing the ‘150’. just adjust to taste.

the solution should work on both sites (Pro and basic version). just make the change on each site.

[Lydia]

Oh Henry, one more thing…the links you provided above, I’m unable to access I get the following error message:

If you can please resend.

Whoa, that’s a lot of code 🙂 Any chance you can drop it into a pastie.org link so we have it formatted properly?

[Lydia]

Hi Rob! Good to hear from you. Looks like pastie.org is out of commission this is what I got:

Sorry, Pastie is offline. pastie.org was DDOSed twice last night. To protect it’s network and other customers Rails Machine has decided to no longer host and sponsor the site. I did not see this coming and did not expect my hosting company to just pull the plug so quickly.
I’m in the middle of RailsConf 2012 right now but working on a migration plan to deal with this. Hang in there, we’ll be back. I really feel bad about this. I’m just a single person running the site free of charge. I make a very minimal amount of monthly income from the ads. Probably just enough to cover hosting now that I don’t have a sponsor. I guess this is just one of the downsides of running a large, popular site, but it’s very frustrating. If anyone feels like they have the expertise to help (with DDOS stuff) please feel to reach out and contact me.

Any other way? I really do need to address this …can I send you something else or use something else? Let me know. Thanks!

Thanks Jonah!

Hi Rob, that worked I pasted the code. It’s listed under ” For Rob Event Calendar Pro”.

[Rob]

Thanks Lydia!

Jonah, here’s the code: http://pastebin.com/1kfcmCGD. Can you take a look?

Hi Lydia, I had to delete the big block of code above because it was tripping me up trying to read the rest of the thread – for reference, here is the rest of the text:

——————————————————————————
Hi Henry, thanks for your response. Why my theme’s sytlesheet and not somewhere in the calendar files. Won’t changing my stylesheet affect other columns I have in the theme as to just only the events posting which I am looking to do?
Here’s my stylesheet (in case you need to look at it) where exactly do I indicate specifically for the event’s post only?
——————————————————————————

Lydia, so where are we at with this issue? Do you still need help with removing the “updated” block and the margin?

[Lydia]

Hi Jonah, Yes I have the 2 pending issues that I have posted on the board that I still need help with.
1) Removing the “Updated” block
2) Adjusting the Margin
In addition, I have two follow-up questions
3) Can the “Upcoming Events” that appear on the bottom of the event page be reomoved?
4) Can the size of the featured image on a event page be increased?
