Template file for community/add page?

[Josh]

Can someone please tell me what template file I need to create to style the /community/add page?

[Geoff]

Hey Josh — hope you had a great weekend!

Great question. The main template file is called default-placeholder.php and can be found here:

/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-community-events/src/views/community/default-placeholder.php

The trick with Community Events templating is that the main template actually consists of all the files located in the modules directory, which is located in the same place as the template. Open that up and you’ll see all the various modules the main template uses, from the event editor to the venue editor.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

OK, then what is the best way to simply let the template site inside some sort of div or some formatting? Because right now it fills the whole width of the page when my normal content has spaces on the right and left.

Thanks!

Hi Josh, thanks for following up!

If it was me, I would likely start by trying to override the existing CSS instead of overriding the entire templates.

We have a tutorial that includes tips for locating the calendar classes that is a great starting point:

Using Google Chrome Developer Tools

Once you have identified the classes to change, you can add those directly to your theme’s style.css file or using the Simple Custom CSS plugin to inject them.

Will that work for you? Please let me know!

Cheers,
Geoff

OK, so I copied the modules to my theme community folder (depicted in the attached image).

What I don’t understand is why the default-template.php properly has the gutters on either side of my content but the default-placeholder.php does not.

Oh, I see what you’re saying — thanks for clarifying Josh! My bad here, because I gave you bad advice up front.

The template you’re looking for is actually the edit-event.php file in that same directory. That has all the markup for the community/add screen.

Sorry about that and I hope this makes a lot more sense as you add gutters to the screen.

Cheers!
Geoff
