UI rendering difference between /events/ calendar and a filtered view?

[Charles Bartlett]

Why does the ‘Default Page Template’ render (incorrectly) the /events/ calendar differently than the filtered versions of that calendar?

The only difference is that one view is added to the Nav Menu by URL (Custom), and the others are added by selecting Event Categories.

Specifically, my /events/ calendar does not display the calendar with filter bar, but instead a list of events with full information for each (like a blog). All of the filtered versions work perfectly except the main /events/ view.

Selecting the ‘Default Events Template’ fixes the /events/ calendar rendering problem, however it eliminates the sidebars. This is definitely a Theme/Plugin conflict, but I don’t understand why the filtered versions of the calendar display perfectly, but the main view does not.

Theme : WooThemes Canvas (latest version)

Canvas Theme Fix applied to functions.php:<p>
function tribe_woo_default_page_tpl_fix() {
if ( ! tribe_is_event_query()) return;
$GLOBALS[‘wp_query’]->is_singular = true;
}
add_action(‘woo_post_before’, ‘tribe_woo_default_page_tpl_fix’);

Hello cbzen,

Thanks for contacting us, this is an interesting situation.

When I see events listed like posts in this fashion, my immediate question is if there is an actual ‘Events’ page created, with a slug created in the db. This could be something that might lead to this behavior. I don’t believe this is the issue here, but it might be worth checking.

I’ll contact some devs on this as I’ve discovered some weird behavior. If you see their main demo page, the rendering you are experiencing is their default, so at least it’s not too weird/unexpected. http://demo.woothemes.com/canvas/

Here is a bizarre thing though if you first go to http://beniciaevents.info/events/, then add ‘month’ to the url, then go back through the browser to just /events. If I do those actions in order, I get the right ajax response to show the list of events. Not sure what that means, but I’ll contact a dev to find out.

Thanks Casey. I too can get the Month calendar view by changing the URL to /events/month. If I click to a different view (tab) and go back to /events/ (ECP Calendar tab), then I get the same wonky “blog view” of events.

After updating url to /events/month, if I select ‘List’ in the ‘View As’ dropdown, it will display events in the “blog view”.

Browser : Chrome (latest version)

Hello cbzen,

After talking with the devs this is currently a known conflict with the Canvas theme. The only way around it it to use the ‘Default Events View’ unfortunately.

The glitch we were catching apparently only happens in Webkit based browsers.

I’ll be creating a ticket to look into compatibility further and I will close this ticket until a patch is released.

Cheers!

I can run without that view for the time being. But obviously the forum is looking for greater compatibility with the WooThemes framework. Thanks for the assistance, and I’ll look forward to the new version releases of TEC Pro.
