widget not linking to event

[graham barnes]

Hi I am experiencing the issue of the events on the mini calendar widget not linking to the single event page for a individual event here: http://www.bbdimension.com/files/wp6/ on the homepage., instead it just goes to ‘#’.

I followed the advice here but all checkboxes are checked: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/mini-events-calendar-widget-does-not-link-to-events-anymore/

I have uploaded some screenshots to dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jw5ax8xcswwie2s/events-calendar-widget1.png?dl=0 and https://www.dropbox.com/s/et613xlc6xk39gs/events-calendar-widget2.png?dl=0

I tried disabling all the plugins and switching to the default theme but no luck.

Hello and sorry to hear about the issue,

I visited your site and experienced issues with the mini calendar widget. I then tested to see if I could reproduce the issue and was unable to. Next, I checked our logged bugs to see if anything has been reported but again, no luck :-/

With that said, I would probably start by right-clicking on your mouse and opening “Inspect” – from here you can identify issues and with that information, hopefully start to address those conflicts. Caching plugins are often times responsible for these types of issues.

Thanks for creating a thread and I wish you the best of luck. Thanks for choosing TEC!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, I don’t know if its a bug or not that is why I came here, I checked the console but no errors there, do you know what the template is that displays the grid and then I can look?

Hey Graham 🙂

Check the /src/views/pro/photo.php for the grid view template. Let me know if you’re able to locate it.

Thanks for the update and enjoy your day!

Hi hunter,
No your mis understanding I am referring to the mini calendar grid, I have tracked it down to this function: tribe_events_the_mini_calendar_day_link() in src/widgets/template-tags/widgets.php

function tribe_events_the_mini_calendar_day_link() {
	$day  = tribe_events_get_current_month_day();
	$args = tribe_events_get_mini_calendar_args();

	if ( $day['total_events'] > 0 ) {
		// there are events on this day
		if ( $args['count'] > 0 ) {
			// there is an event list under the calendar
			$html = '<a href="#" data-day="' . $day['date'] . '" class="tribe-mini-calendar-day-link">' . $day['daynum'] . '</a>';
		} else {
			// there are no events under the calendar
			if ( tribe_events_is_view_enabled( 'day' ) ) {
				// day view is enabled
				ob_start();
				tribe_the_day_link( $day['date'], $day['daynum'] );
				$html = ob_get_clean();
			} else {
				// day view is disabled, just show that there are events on the day but don't link anywhere
				$html = '<a href="javascript:void(0)">' . $day['daynum'] . '</a>';
			}
		}
	} else {
		$html = '<span class="tribe-mini-calendar-no-event">' . $day['daynum'] . '</span>';
	}

	echo apply_filters( 'tribe_events_the_mini_calendar_day_link', $html );
}

Note this bit: $html = ‘<a href=”#” data-day=”‘ . $day[‘date’] ‘#’ I want it to link to the actual event, so how can i modify the code to do this?

For now I have just modified the code to be:

function tribe_events_the_mini_calendar_day_link() {
	$day  = tribe_events_get_current_month_day();
	$args = tribe_events_get_mini_calendar_args();

	if ( $day['total_events'] > 0 ) {
		// there are events on this day
		if ( $args['count'] > 0 ) {
			// there is an event list under the calendar
			ob_start();
				tribe_the_day_link( $day['date'], $day['daynum'] );
			$html = tribe_the_day_link();
			//$html = '<a href="'.tribe_the_day_link().'" data-day="' . $day['date'] . '" class="tribe-mini-calendar-day-link">' . $day['daynum'] . '</a>';
		} else {
			// there are no events under the calendar
			if ( tribe_events_is_view_enabled( 'day' ) ) {
				// day view is enabled
				ob_start();
				tribe_the_day_link( $day['date'], $day['daynum'] );
				$html = ob_get_clean();
			} else {
				// day view is disabled, just show that there are events on the day but don't link anywhere
				$html = '<a href="javascript:void(0)">' . $day['daynum'] . '</a>';
			}
		}
	} else {
		$html = '<span class="tribe-mini-calendar-no-event">' . $day['daynum'] . '</span>';
	}

	echo apply_filters( 'tribe_events_the_mini_calendar_day_link', $html );
}

showing the link to that date using: tribe_the_day_link();

Graham,

Thanks for clarifying a bit more and my apologies for leading you in the wrong direction. I’m glad you’ve got it working as desired, so I’ll close this thread out. Please open a new one if you’ve got any more questions.

Take care and enjoy your week 🙂
