URL’s fixes

[jddvette]

Hi,

I have upgraded successfully to Events Cal Pro but there is a problem that I have with the URL’s

I need:

http://dev-wp.dremed.com/events/category/africa/upcoming/

to be

http://dev-wp.dremed.com/events/africa/

Why is it adding /upcoming/ to the slug and how can I remove it?

Also, how can I remove /category/ from the slug?

Hi there,
Please don’t use private replies if there isn’t any sensitive data in them.

To remove the /category/ you’ll need http://wordpress.org/plugins/no-category-base-wpml/

/events/category/catname/
and
/events/category/catname/upcoming/

both already exist and they do two different things. The first is the calendar view (default month view) for the selected category. The latter is a list of all upcoming events for the calendar by default in a list format.

As for the no events in category error this should be fixed as of the next maintenance release. If you feel comfortable doing so then as a temporary workaround you can replace the-events-calendar/lib/tribe-template-factory.class.php with this alternative version .

I activated the plugin to remove the category out of the slug, but it’s still there.

You said, /events/category/catname/
and
/events/category/catname/upcoming/

are two different things, but when I try to get to /events/category/catname/ it redirects to /events/category/catname/upcoming

Is there a setting I am missing?

You should file a ticket with the author of that plugin via the wordpress.org repository. He should be able to sort that out (it’s worked in the past for other tribe users).

It depends on how your install is setup.
I know on the demo site (which I don’t have access to to check what the settings are) they are two different things:
http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wordpress-meetups/
vs
http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wordpress-meetups/upcoming/

[jddvette]

Can you please check the settings, I am stumped on how to only get visitors to the link

http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wordpress-meetups/

at this point I’ll find another solution to work around /category/ being in the slug

[Chris]

Unfortunately, I don’t have access to Shindig’s backend. I’ll see if I can find someone that does.

What do you currently have the default view set to in the Tribe settings panel?

I’ve found this report to send you from the plugin admin panel

I’ve been clicking the navigation at the bottom of the calendar to go the next month and it just refreshes the page, there are events in the next month to view.

The issue of the “slugs” and getting to the categories resolved once I removed the code snippet to have the categories default to the list view (which I need to work if possible). It would be nice to have the calendar view as the main view then the categories view default as a list.

Here’s the snippet commented out

/ add_action(‘parse_query’, ‘use_list_view_for_categories’, 60);

// function use_list_view_for_categories($query) {
// // Run once
// remove_action(‘parse_query’, ‘use_list_view_for_categories’, 60);

// // Interfere only for non-ajax Tribe category requests not already destined to be presented by list view
// if (defined(‘DOING_AJAX’) && DOING_AJAX) return;
// if (!isset($query->tribe_is_event_category) || !$query->tribe_is_event_category) return;
// if (tribe_is_view(‘upcoming’)) return;

// // Obtain the query term and get a link to list view for that term
// $main_tax_query = $query->tax_query->queries[0];
// $term = get_term_by(‘slug’, $main_tax_query[‘terms’][0], TribeEvents::TAXONOMY);
// $link = tribe_get_listview_link($term->term_id);

// // Try to redirect
// wp_redirect($link);
// exit();
// }

Hi jddvette,

So based on your last update it’s sounding to me like everything is actually working as we would expect and that perhaps the code snippet you referenced was impacting on things here (though, again, it sounds as if it was actually doing pretty much what it was intended to do).

We do welcome any feature requests that you might make with regards to presentation settings for categories, etc, but beyond that we’ll need to leave any further customizations and embellishments up to you.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but if there are any other issues we might be able to help with please do create new threads as needed.

Thanks – and good luck!
