Hi there George!

1. is it possible to highlight some of the events ? is it done via featured events ?

Using featured events is a great way to do this and is baked right into our free, core offering (The Events Calendar).

2. what is the result of “featuring an event” ?

Special formatting is applied in various views — you can learn more here!

3. can you show on screenshots the difference between normal event and highlighted event in
3a) map view
3b) list view
3c) calendar view?

There are some examples of featured events on our demo site (such as “Innovative Coding Day” on December 5) — why not take a look and check them out in different views? 🙂

4) is it possible to display both past and future events on the same map ?
is it possible to have a page with a map that has only future events ?

5) is it possible to have 2 pages on website, one with all events and second with only future events ?
is it done via shortcodes? can you show syntax example.

All of these are very much possibilities, but ones that would require varying degrees of custom coding.

6) is it possible to have a map that contain events only from a particular category ? can you show shortcode syntax example.

Certainly: with Events Calendar PRO the shortcode for this would look something like:

[tribe_events view=”map” category=”abc”]

7) can you show a screenshot of multi-day event in calendar view?

If you check out our demo site, you can see a multi-day event beginning on December 19 🙂

8) when event is added automatically via a subscription to a facebook page , is it possible to autopublish event ?

9) when event is added automatically via a subscription to a facebook page , is it possible not to publish event but just save as draft ?

Yes! When using Event Aggregator you can set the default post status for imported events.

10) when new event is added via facebook page subscription sync. How will i get notified ? via email or how?

You won’t be notified by email – but you can review the import history and see what has been recently imported that way.

I hope that clarifies things and thank you for your interest in our plugins!

what are the options available via shortcodes for list view ?

is it possible to define how many events to display in list view ? what is the maximum number of events possible to display without pagination ?

i would need around 70-80 events . is it possible to load all of them on 1 page ?

do you have table view for events list ?

for multiday event is it possible to group them to be easier identified ? for example as you can see at this screenshot from google calendar => https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/calendar_13.png
is there a feature request about it ? i would like to vote for it 🙂

is it possible to display “featured event” in the top of the list in list view ?

is it possible to have two list on 1 page.
a list with a featured only events and list with all events
is it done via shortcodes? can you show syntax example.

and about question 10)
is there a separate log for auto synced events via page subscriptions and manually added ?

[Barry]

Hi!

You can learn more about the [tribe_events] shortcode over here:

theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode

By default, it inherits the posts-per-page setting you define in the event settings screen (and there is no maximum) but it cannot be set on a per-shortcode basis at this time – at least not without some customization work.

do you have table view for events list ?

I’m not quite sure what you’re picturing, but no – though it’s certainly possible to customize our views significantly so if you wished to five list view into a tabular layout that could be done 🙂

for multiday event is it possible to group them to be easier identified ? for example as you can see at this screenshot from google calendar => https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/calendar_13.png

That doesn’t happen by default, but you can certainly vote for this and many other features over on our UserVoice page.

is it possible to display “featured event” in the top of the list in list view ?

is it possible to have two list on 1 page.

a list with a featured only events and list with all events

Creative use of our widgets can help with this sort of task, but I would note that these things aren’t possible with our regular event views “out of the box”, though some customization work makes all this and more possible 🙂

is there a separate log for auto synced events via page subscriptions and manually added

You can review a history of events imported via Event Aggregator, but there’s nothing else directly comparable to that for other events.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
