replacing geo_loc.php into my theme

[Scott]

Where should I place the following file in my theme so I can change template text and not lose them on an update?

\plugins\events-caledar-pro\src\Tribe\Geo_Loc.php

I have reviewed the themer’s guide but this particular file I am not sure where to place it.

Thanks!

Hey Scott,

You cannot replace that file in your theme – the only files eligible for that templating system are the ones in /src/views/, the files in src/Tribe are core plugin files that will cannot and should not be overwritten.

I hope that helps clarify things!

So what options would one have to replace the default placeholder text in the tribe bar without the changes getting wiped by an update?

Hey Scott,

You could do so with some simple JavaScript added to your site via a function in your theme’s (or, even better, your child theme’s!) functions.php file. You can set the “Placeholder” attribute via JavaScript so that should work well.

Here’s an example:


add_action( 'wp_footer', 'scott_tribe_placeholder_js' );

function scott_tribe_placeholder_js() {
if ( ! wp_script_is( 'jquery', 'enqueued' ) ) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}
?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$( 'input#tribe-bar-date' ).attr( 'placeholder', 'New Placeholder Text' );
});
</script>
<?php
}


That would change the placeholder text for the “Date” input to “New Placeholder Text”, for example.

Play around with that, and if you need help finding the specific HTML names of the input elements whose placeholders you want to adjust, check out a free tool like Firebug if you use FireFox, or the Developer Tools for either Safari or Chrome, which all have “Inspector” tools in them which let you zoom right over the element on the page with your mouse to find out its HTML id and such.

I’ll close up this thread for now, as you’ll have to take the reins on the rest of your customizing. I hope this helps you get started on that!
