Previous / Next Event links and Date selector in Map/List view

[clashley1976]

I just installed TEC PRO on my site, primarily to obtain the map functionality. I’m noticing some inconsistent behavior with the Previous and Next Events links while in Map view, and some undesired behavior in the date selector.

When in Map View, there is a “Previous Events” link at the top of the Upcoming Events table, but no “Next Events” link. The bottom of the table shows both links.

When clicking the date Selector in either Map or List, I can’t seem to select an entire month. When clicking the desired Month, it will not update the date field until an individual date is selected. The ability to select an entire month’s worth of events in either view would be be preferable to my visitors.

Is there anything that can be done about these items?

Hi Cameron,

As far as your first question regarding the map view: There is some CSS hiding that for some reason. I’m not sure if this is related to a setting or what. For a temporary fix, you can add the following CSS.


#tribe-events #tribe-events-header .tribe-events-sub-nav .tribe-events-nav-next a {
display: inline-block;
}


I will look into why this is happening and get back to you.

As to your second question about the calendar selector. Yes, that is the default behavior for those views. The month view behaves as you describe. If you’d like, you can suggest ideas at https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas and if enough people vote for it, it may wind up being added to the plugin.

I will take a look into the hidden navigation issue and let you know what I find out.

Thanks,
Sky

Thanks for the feedback. The custom CSS did add the Next link to the header for the map view, but also added it to the headers for the monthly and list view. Ideally, I’d like the header navigation to be the same as the footer navigation in all of the views.

See the attached screenshots for examples of what I’m seeing after inserting the CSS:

Cameron,

Yes, I noticed that last night after replying to you. I looked more in depth into how all that behaves, and those top prev/next links are actually hidden by default. You usually have to add custom CSS to get them to show at all, as there is no setting to show them.

Did you do something custom to enable to “previous” link, or did it just show up there after an update?

In any case, here is a CSS snippet that will show the top navigation links in all the views:


.tribe-events-map #tribe-events-header li a,
#tribe-events-header .tribe-events-sub-nav li,
#tribe-events-header .tribe-events-sub-nav .tribe-events-nav-next a {
display: block !important;
}


A bug report has been created to figure out why this is happening. You should be notified here when a fix is pushed out in an upcoming release.

Thanks,
Sky

Thanks, I added the CSS and now both header links are showing in all views.

I did not have any custom CSS in my installation; I only noticed the initial issue when I installed TEC PRO this weekend to obtain the Map view functionality. While using the free version, I never saw any navigation header links in either the Month or List view, and didn’t even realize that they were there (but hidden).
