Which add-ons do I need?

[Kris]

Hi there —

I’d like to have a calendar with the following features:

1. recurring events
2. let others add their own events to my calendar
3. automatically pull in events from Facebook
4. default to list view (not month or week)

What would I need to purchase to make all that happen? Also, is it possible to not show an event’s time, and show date only

Thank you!

[Geoff B.]

Good morning Kristine and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

1. recurring events

For this feature, you will need to grab a copy of our the Events Calendar Pro premium add-on: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-calendar-pro/

2. let others add their own events to my calendar

To achieve this goal, Community Events is the add-on you will need to install: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-community-events/

3. automatically pull in events from Facebook

That can be achieved by a subscription to our Event Aggregator service: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/event-aggregator/

4. default to list view (not month or week)

Nothing special here, you simply need to adjust your the Events Calendar settings accordingly under Events -> Settings -> Display

Also, is it possible to not show an event’s time, and show date only

Absolutely, you can do that one of 2 ways:

1. By customizing your views. We have made that simple for our users. You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.
2. By adding a bit of code to your WordPress theme’s functions.php OR using a plugin

You could apply the following snippet in the functions.php file of your theme (without the PHP tag at the top): https://gist.github.com/elimn/ee4f74fe1b561148dc7cd7563c16d815#file-tribe_remove_time_list_view-php

But first to be extra safe, before making any changes to your functions.php file, you should make a backup of that file.

And here is an example of the plugin approach: tribe_remove_time_single_view

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Thanks, Geoff. I don’t have any version of the calendar now (I’m using a different company’s calendar). Is there a trial period?

Good evening Kris,

We do not have a trial period per se, but we have the next best thing: a 30 day refund policy (no matter what the reason is).

This should provide you with ample time to test things out.
Of course, please reach out if you have any question along the way.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Thanks. And if I want people to be able to filter to only see certain categories, I need to buy another add-on?

[Geoff B.]

Good evening Kris,

Thank you for taking the time to write back.

That is correct.
If you want to provide filters to your users you can get a copy of our Filter bar add-on: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-filterbar/

We like to keep things modular to make sure people only pay for what they need.
As a side note, we also have a couple of bundles available: https://theeventscalendar.com/bundles/

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
