Problem with Disappearing Events

[Ingrid]

Hi there,

My developer created a plugin that goes over top of the Event Calendar Plugin to allow user to see the events in their timezone where-ever they are. It works great, the only problem is that when the event crosses over from one day back to the next the event disappears. (eg. The event is happening at 12:30am GMT – 4 (New York) and the previous day at 10:30PM GMT -7 (Los Angeles). The Los Angeles Event will disappear. All events are loaded in ical for GMT. I’m wondering if you can maybe point me to where the problem/bug might be? The created plugin just uses a simple JQuiry script for changing the time.

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can try to help out here.

I am not clear exactly what is happening.

Where does the event disappear? From your event views or your custom script.

What is the timezone setup for your site in general?

Also, in your example does the LA Event never show or does it get hidden early?

If you can provide any links in a private reply that would help too.

Thanks

Hi,

he site is on maintenance right now, but here is a password to go in and take a look. businesstimingcalendar.com

I appreciate the offer!

However, our current policy is not to accept logins or to log in to customer servers/WordPress installations.

I am not sure it is possible for what you are asking. We do not have a feature to display all the times based on the visitors timezone. So the query does not recognize your script.

You would have to rewrite the month view queries to take the timezone into account before they even grab the events for each day. Or as you are seeing it will not move an event to the day before.

This is the new filter we have added to change the query for each day of the month:

tribe_events_month_daily_events_query_args

And it is found in this file here:

the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Template/Month.php

You would want to change the query on page load for the visitors timezone.

I do not have anymore information on this, but can try to help out with a couple more questions.

Thanks
