Show city instead of state/province in event preview + single event description

[Manuela Hernandez Perez]

Hi,
I need to make a little modification in the display of the venue. It is in the event preview and in the single event description. It should not affect the display of the event list in the sidebar widget.
pw: Oevrg1!*

What I practically need is that the city is shown instead of the state/province, as shown in the two screenshots below:

Event preview:

Single event description:

Can you please help me realizing this?
Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
Manuela

Thanks for using our plugins and reaching out! Let me try to help you with this.

You will need to do some template customization for that. Here are 2 articles that should get you started:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/template-overview/

 

You will need to customize this file for the single event view:
wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\src\views\modules\meta\venue.php

And this file for the list view:
wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\src\views\list\single-event.php

Let me know if this gets you started.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras, thank you so much for your fast reply! I found the files, but my problem is that I’m not at all experienced with php. Can you please help me to exchange the state/province by the city in both views?

Hi Manuela,

Let’s try the easier solution first. If you don’t fill out the Bundesland / Kanton / Provinz for the venue, then it will not show up. Like on this screenshot.

Left shows how the venue is set up for the event. Top right is the list view. Bottom right is the single event view.

Let me know if this helps. If you want to get into a bit of customization, we can, I just thought this might be easier.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras, thank you. Indeed, this could be a solution, but unfortunately not in my case because I need to show the real state/province information in another context as well (namely in the sidebar with the upcoming events widget).
Could you please help me making the customizations for showing the city instead of the state/province information in the event preview and the event description?

Hi Manuela,

Here is the file for the list view. Create a single-event.php file to the following folder, and copy the below snippet in the file:

wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/tribe-events/list/single-event.php

https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/36ee590a9c321a782a20bf5219d1cdc9

 

For the single event view, create a venue.php file to the following folder and copy the below snippet there:

wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/tribe-events/modules/meta/venue.php

https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/2d85f4ae41ccf40ecd74e8906caf3a0e

 

Let me know how this works out.

Cheers,
Andras
