Schema on Calendar Page

[Janice Palmer]

Hi there.

I was hoping to get Event List schema on my calendar page.

I found this old ticket: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/schema-on-event-list-pages/

And I added the snippet to functions,php but I’m not sure if it’s working.

Hi Janice,

Thanks for getting in touch.

That snippet is pretty old. Since then I believe there were changes in the code of the plugin which renders it pretty much useless.

I will try to check what else can be done about this, but I will need some time for that, so hang in there.

Cheers,
Andras

Thank you Andras

No rush, let me know when you figure it out.

Hi Janice,

I do apologize for the unusually long pause. The whole team was out for a week, and as a result we were overloaded afterwards. We’re getting back on track now-ish.

We took a look at the snippet. A teammate tested it and for him the snippet did work.

Let me put here the full instructions, to have it at one place.

Place this code in your theme’s (preferably child theme’s) functions.php file.

/* Tribe, add structured data to list view */
function tribe_list_view_structured_data ( ) {
// bail if not list view
if ( !tribe_is_list_view() ) return;
global $wp_query;
Tribe__Events__JSON_LD__Event::instance()->markup( $wp_query->posts );
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'tribe_list_view_structured_data');

Then visit the calendar (list view). In the source code of the page (in the head tag) you should find the following structure:

Remember this version of the snippet is just intended to work in list view.
Reset all types of cache and make sure the source code is refreshed.

Please check and let me know.

Cheers,
Andras

Awesome!

Thank you so much.

I was curious if I could also edit this code for the other views, especially the photo view.

Would that be easy to do?

[Andras]

At the beginning of the code there is this line:

if ( !tribe_is_list_view() ) return;

This basically means if it is not list view, then don’t do anything. You could extend that to

if ( !tribe_is_list_view() && !tribe_is_view( 'photo' ) ) return;
