Overwriting templates in 3.0

[ellaearth]

Hey,
I read your notes on overwriting but your paths are totally different to mine and I can seem to get it to work.

My plugins paths are such (I’m working locally)
\wp-content\plugins\events-calendar-pro\views
\wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\views

I see in 3.0 there should be a tribe-events folder in your theme so I have this path
\wp-content\themes\bpc\tribe-events

I’ve put the view files in there and made changes but nothing happens. Then I decided to experiment and put it in a views folder within tribe-events but still nothing. Please could you supply me with the correct paths. Thanks.

I’ve done as you \wp-content\themes\mytheme\tribe-events and edit single-event.php and it works. I don’t know if has something to do with you local version.

But I’ve tried to edit the list view through list/single-event.php and it doesn’t work.

So almost as same as you

Hey Ivanhi
I uploaded to a demo site and same issues. I’m currently modifying event pro plugin files as I need to get work done to see changes. But I need to know correct paths for 3.0 so I can copy out the files there. Glad to know I’m not the only one with this issue. Hope we get an answer soon 🙂

Hi ellaerth,

Thank you for your patience!

When putting templates into bpc/tribe-events, you do not need the /views/ folder, you can drop the files in directly. For example, to override wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single-event.php, your override path should be wp-content/themes/bpc/tribe-events/single-event.php

You will, however, need any folder that resides within the-events-calendar/views/. For instance, if you wanted to modify wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/list/content.php , your override path would be wp-content/themes/bpc/tribe-events/list/content.php

I hope this clarifies things a bit for you!

Cheers,
Kyle
