Want to buy…but a few questions.:.

[Jason]

m loving the Events Calendar Plugin and am about to pull the trigger on purchasing. I have a few questions that I need to find out for my client before I do so however:

On an actual event page, can I show multiple event dates on the one page? I know I can do recurring dates, but I want all of the matching event dates to be listed on the actual event detail page.
When I add additional fields to a page, if I leave them blank in the admin area will they still show up in the listing with no information?
Is there an ‘export’ or ‘print’ option available for the listing page?

That’s it. We are also going to integrate the Filter Bar, but I really am enjoying this plugin. You all were a great find.

Thanks so much…

Hey Jason! Thanks for getting in touch and we’re stoked you’re loving the plugin so far. 🙂

Great questions. Let’s try to hit them one at a time…

On an actual event page, can I show multiple event dates on the one page? I know I can do recurring dates, but I want all of the matching event dates to be listed on the actual event detail page.

There is an option to show “Related Events” on an individual event page. This is located in Events > Settings > Display as “Hide related events”.

If you’re looking for something more specific, our templates are highly customizable. For example, you can override any of the calendar templates (see our Themer’s Guide for more details) and use tribe_get_events() to query the exact events you’d like and use the loop to output the elements you want. Our documentation is another great resource for see all the available options you have for customizing the calendar.

When I add additional fields to a page, if I leave them blank in the admin area will they still show up in the listing with no information?

Leave them blank and nothing will show. You’re good to go. 🙂

Is there an ‘export’ or ‘print’ option available for the listing page?

Yes, there is an “Export Listed Events” button on the List View of the calendar. This will output the .ics file for the events listed in the view.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know and thanks again for checking us out!

Cheers!

Hey:
Great answers, thanks so much. One more clarifying question…

For related events, is that an automatic thing, or do I choose how the events are related (do I set the criteria)? Some events won’t be related to others, but I wouldn’t want ‘automatic’ related events to populate.

Thanks so much…

Just had another question:

When I create additional fields; can/will that be part of the CSV import option?

Hey there, Jason! Thanks for following up. 🙂

For related events, is that an automatic thing, or do I choose how the events are related (do I set the criteria)?

It’s an automatic thing based on Categories and Tags. You could certainly customize this further by using the tribe_get_events() function suggested earlier, though that takes some custom work on your end.

When I create additional fields; can/will that be part of the CSV import option?

Good question. I’m afraid it can’t be done without touching core plugin files. I’m never one to recommend going that route, but it is contained in the the-events-calendar/lib/io/csv directory if it’s something you want  to look into further. Looks we have a request to add this feature, so it would be great if you added your vote.

Cheers!

Hey there, Jason! Thanks for following up and confirming the answer–I really appreciate it and hope the plugins are a fit for what you’re looking for.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other questions pop up. We’d be happy to help. 🙂
