Problem Overriding Events Archives in conjunction with On The Go Toolset

[chris]

I’ve read the Theming guide https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

And I’ve created a /metro-pro/tribe-events/default-template.php

Using On The Go Toolset I’ve extended the Events CPT considerably to include a relationship with Artists using an intermediate Appearances CPT. Many Artists play one Event. One Artist will play many events. The idea is I update the Artist CPT with rich embeds and links and add this to an event by creating an appearance.

Toolset allows me to do this easily and I use the Toolset Views plugin to display embeds for Artists in an Event. For example http://www.aquedukt.co.uk/event/bbc-introducing-live-in-berkshire-bellyeyesmile-harry-macintosh-project/

This works perfectly for Single Events

The Way Toolset VIews work is it allows me to assign new Content Templates to Single Page Views and Archive Views.

For some reason I am unable to select Post Archives for Events.

If anyone is able to help I would be most grateful.

I am in conversation with Toolset too, and they are reffering me to you.

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins I can try to help out here, but I am limited in supporting customizations.

The Event Views (month, list, etc) are archives, however, the is_archive does not work you need to use is_post_type_archive() instead.

Not sure if the plugin you use can use that instead. If that does not work we have these conditionals as well to target specific views:

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Ok.

Thanks, I’ve passed it on to Toolset support and I’ll see if it helps them and report back.

[Brian]

Ok, let us know what you find out.

Thanks

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
