Testing for single event listing

[David]

Hi, I want to test in header.php so see if the page being displayed is a single event listing.
I tried get post type = tribe events but I do not think it worked. All I need to know is if the page is showing a single event listing. How can I test for this?
Thanks.

Hey David. I’m not sure I fully understand the issue, but have you checked out if any of our documentation at https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation points you in the right direction here? Let me know if not and I can get a dev to take a look.

Hi Rob,

The website I am working with (rubycoastmouterehills.co.nz) has 3 sections visit, business and community. Each section has its own 2nd level menu and colour scheme.

I have listed events from the TEC on 2 wordpress pages by filtering by event category (visit or community). All well so far.

I need to maintain the 2nd level menu and colour scheme when drilling down to the event detail in the event single.php template. I run a number of tests in header.php to work out which section I am in based on custom post types, categories etc.

So I am looking to test to see if the user is going to see a single event listing. If they are I will look to see which page referred them to work out if I should show the visit or community submenus. Some events (prob. most) are actually members of both event categories.

Complicated – yep, sure is …

Cheers, David

PS I did try and test on custom post type being tribe_events but I do not think this worked for me. There must be something I can test for early on that will tell me that this is a single event listing.

Hey David. Excellent; thanks for confirming. While I’m not sure about this myself, I’ve asked our dev Jonah to take a look when he hits the forum later this evening. I’ll have him chime in with any thoughts he may have from there.

Hey Rob, any joy with an answer to this? All I need to do is to test in the header.php file to see if the post showing is a single event listing eg

http://www.rubycoastmouterehills.co.nz/event/a-touch-of-class/

Is is something like

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-check-for-custom-post-type-and-if-its-hierarchical

or

http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/6731/if-is-custom-post-type

Is is just testing for a custom post type in wordpress?

Thanks, David

Hey David, perhaps this will help:


if(tribe_is_month()) {
echo 'Calendar Grid';
} else if(tribe_is_event() && !tribe_is_day() && !is_single()) {
echo 'Event List';
} else if(tribe_is_event() && !tribe_is_day() && is_single()) {
echo 'Single Event';
} else if(tribe_is_day()) {
echo 'Single Day';
} else {
the_title();
}
