Remove (not hide!) export links in event views

[Dinah]

Hi there,

I found different posts similar to my thread, but unfortunately with no solution.

I want to remove (not hide via CSS) the export button from the month view page. So I tried to use the plugin you recommended in this post: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/removing-export-links-event-views/ Unfortunately it did not work.

But I found a newer Post from January with the same topic: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/removing-export-links-from-event-views/ Unfortunately the recommended and updated snippet did not work, too.

First Question:
Due to the fact that I do not want to use CSS (because I do not want to hide but remove the buttons) is there a timing when the plugin / Snippet will be repaired and updated?

Second Question:
I guess the only way to remove the code is by making a template customization. Could you please tell me in which file of the tribe templates I can make these changes ? I already made some changes so i am aware of the Themer’s Guide and have created custom files 😉 But I could not find the corresponding lines in the “tribe events -> month.php” nor “tribe events -> month -> …”

Many thanks in advance,
Dinah

Ok, I should check my glasses 😉 I found it in:

tribe-events/month/content.php
tribe-events/day/content.php
tribe-events/list/content.php

It is the “do_action( ‘tribe_events_after_footer’ )” part at the bottom (around line 58):

<!-- #tribe-events-footer -->
	<?php 
	//delete it or make it a comment to not show the export button any longer on views
	//do_action( 'tribe_events_after_footer' ) ?>

Best regards,
Dinah

Dinah,

It’s great that you found the templates!!! The articles that you mentioned above are outdated.

Tribe__Events__iCal has been depreciated and replaced with tec.iCal.

Here’s an article that will remove them in different views.

Hope this helps.

Good evening Dinah and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

Due to the fact that I do not want to use CSS (because I do not want to hide but remove the buttons) is there a timing when the plugin / Snippet will be repaired and updated?

I just updated the following snippet: https://gist.github.com/GeoffEW/b8f0bb5fc2b8510c6ad4f0b60fcf3fb9

You could apply it in the functions.php file of your theme (without the PHP tag at the top).

I guess the only way to remove the code is by making a template customization. Could you please tell me in which file of the tribe templates I can make these changes ? I already made some changes so i am aware of the Themer’s Guide and have created custom files ? But I could not find the corresponding lines in the “tribe events -> month.php” nor “tribe events -> month -> …”

As Mathew kindly points out, why try to dig deeper when a little piece of code does the trick 🙂

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Mathew,
Geoff,

thank you so much! I directly changed it and instead of having it still in 6 files

tribe-events/month/content.php
tribe-events/day/content.php
tribe-events/list/content.php
tribe-events/pro/week/content.php
tribe-events/pro/map/content.php
tribe-events/pro/photo/content.php

I just had to put it one time in the functions.php <3

Great! Because I wanted to keep the export buttons on the event detail page I just commented out the single_event_links parts – works well 🙂

/**
  * Prevent calendar export links from showing anywhere on the front-end.
  */
class Tribe__Events__Remove__Export__Links {
    public function __construct() {

        /*add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'single_event_links' ) ); */
        add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'view_links' ) );
    }
    
/* public function single_event_links() {
        remove_action(
            'tribe_events_single_event_after_the_content',
            array( $this->ical_provider(), 'single_event_links' )
        );
    } */

    public function view_links() {
        remove_filter(
            'tribe_events_after_footer',
            array( $this->ical_provider(), 'maybe_add_link' )
        );
    }
    protected function ical_provider() {
        return function_exists( 'tribe' )
            ? tribe( 'tec.iCal' ) // Current
            : 'Tribe__Events__iCal'; // Legacy
    }
}
new Tribe__Events__Remove__Export__Links();

Best regards,
Dinah
