Setting mega_group visibility in the meta walker

[hansford77]

Hi, I have been having problems with the meta walker and have made it work with a tweak to your code. Don’t know if it’s me that’s wrong or you!
Here’s my code that doesn’t work:

add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘custom_event_meta’ );
function custom_event_meta(){
tribe_set_the_meta_visibility(‘tribe_event_organizer’, FALSE, ‘meta_group’);
}

There’s a bit of code in tribe_get_meta_group that checks for the visibility of the meta group:
}
// internal check for hiding items in the meta
if( $is_the_meta && ! $meta_group[‘show_on_meta’] ){
return false;
}

By changing the line to if( ! $is_the_meta && ! $meta_group[‘show_on_meta’] ) I can make it work. Can you advise on this please? Thanks.

In addition, is there a way to space the metadata equally now I only have two columns? I just have blank space at the right where the Organizer group used to be.

Hi hansford77,

The forum isn’t a great place to share code as it’s prone to dropping bits and pieces where various symbols are used. Just to be certain that what I’m seeing is accurate can I ask you to share it via Pastebin or Gist and drop the link in here?

Thanks – and sorry for the inconvenience 🙂

Sorry, rookie error! It’s here http://pastebin.com/8N6TgXns

Oh, and please ignore my second question about the metadata spacing, I found the width setting 🙂

Sure thing. Bear with me a little longer – the meta walker is a new addition to the plugin and I just want to be sure we’ve got a firm handle on it before I give you a response.

From my point of view it’s working, so no hurry, thanks!

Sorry for the delay hansford77 – this unfortunately slipped off the radar and I can only apologize for the delay.

I believe you have found a bug here and your correction seems sound (plus, it looks like, one of the team corrected something similar in related function tribe_get_meta()). We’ll need to do a few further checks and this change realistically won’t make the very next maintenance release, but hopefully we’ll slot the fix in shortly thereafter.

Out of curiosity, after making that change in the core code yourself did you find your snippet worked? I’m asking only because it seems to me like wp_head may be too early for that code to be successful (though if it works, it works!).

Thanks!

Hi, hansford77. Since it’s been quite a while now, I’m going to close this thread. Please start a fresh one if you’d like to pursue this further.

Hi, hansford77. This is just a note to let you know that we didn’t get a chance to look at your issue for our maintenance release this time around.

We do plan to find a way to help you out with this. We look forward to addressing this as soon as we’ve got bandwidth/resources to allow it.

Thanks for being part of the TEC community!
