Widgets and Widget Logic issue on events page..

[Mark Bolden]

Here it is plain & simple.

1. I have an events page (list view)
2. I have a text widget (or ANY widget for that matter) that I would ONLY like to appear in a sidebar on that page.

Normally I would use Widget Logic Visual to quickly add an exception that only allows that widget to appear on that page. In this case, it shows 3 page templates in the widget logic ‘pages’ list. Tribe_Events, Tribe_Venues & Tribe_Organizer. NONE of these will allow the widget to appear on page.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this goal?

Hi gulfshoremedia,

Unfortunately with the current way we create the Events page, it is not your standard page and won’t show up in plugins as a normal page like you are thinking. To work around this you need to manually set sidebars on event related pages using this conditional code: https://gist.github.com/2415009. Using that code you can determine what event page you are on and then include whatever sidebar you want. Depending on the theme you are using this would either go in your page.php or sidebar.php template. If you take a look at Part 4 of our Genesis guide I brush on this topic: https://theeventscalendar.com/tutorial-integrating-the-events-calendar-w-genesis/

Does that help?

Hi Jonah,

Thanks for the info. I was hoping that it would be something fast like: Oh, you just need to get this patch and everything will magically work. LOL. But hey, I gotta do what I gotta do!

Cheers!
