Hey successfulartists, (sorry, I rather would like to call you something a bit more positive. Hope you don’t mind.)

Thanks for sharing that. I’m super happy to see that your calendar plugins are all updated. A rare view and saves time. Great job on that!

I think we need some clarification to be able to properly solve this issue.

I need them to display by event date, but still be mixed in with the latest news (posts) feed.

So, how it currently works is:

• the blog displays the posts in descending order, so the newest post is always on top
• the events can be injected into this loop
• the events will be injected by event date and time
• since the blog posts are in descending order, the events will be in descending order as well

So if you want to show both the blog posts and the events, there are couple of questions here.

As a start: if you want the events to show up timely (oldest first), then your blog posts would also show up like that. Meaning that on the top of your page you will see some very old post, unless somehow you set up a limit. (Like oldest post shown should be 1 week old max.)

So my question is to you: how do you want the mix of blog posts and events to show up? In what order? For the events what should be taken into account, the event date (now default) or publish date?

Looking forward to your feedback.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Derek,

Thanks for giving me more details. I will need to get some extra help for this, I ask for a bit of patience. We’ll get back to you soon.

Thanks and cheers,

Hi Tomi,

Entschuldige, ich werde jetzt auf English schreiben, bit ein bischen krank und auf Deutsch zu denken ist jetzt ein bischen schwierig. Du kannst auf Deutsch antworten, kein Problem.

I totally understand your frustration and I’m really sorry that we couldn’t find a fix for this. In the last couple of days we have received some other reports on the google map issue, that it is not shown (the checkbox is not ticked) after an import.

We have a bugticket on file for this, so a fix will be developed. I found out more details about the issue and bumped the priority, so that it gets more attention. It looks like it is affecting more import types, not only iCal, so I expect a fix to be coming soon. Please hang in there.

 

wo kann ich es einstellen, dass keine eigene Kategorien erstellt werden?

Unfortunately there is no option for that at the moment. I will discuss this with the Event Aggregator team as I believe this can be an annoying issue. I will get back to you on what I find out soon.

Tomi, again apologies that this is taking so long. We are doing our best to get fixes done in a timely manner and we value your feedback and trust.

Thanks for your patience!

Mit freundlichen Grüssen

Hey Sally,

Happy you figured a way around.

Did you manage to re-check if the issue still exists?

Also a workaround could be increasing your stock from the current number to +3. That will eventually give you higher starting stock, and correct current availability. Would that work?

Hey Rob,

Thanks for sharing that. I’m trying to pull in some extra muscle to investigate this.

Meanwhile did you manage to re-test the issue? Does it still happen?

Thanks,

Andras

Hey Stu whadup,

Thanks for getting back to me on those and giving feedback. I’ll bring it to the attention of the team and let’s see where we get with these sold-and-refunded tickets.

Regarding the deleted issue I still ask for a bit of patience. So far I haven’t been able to reproduce it, so I’m gonna ask another pair of eyes to take a look at it. Please hang in there.

Cheers,
Andras

Hello Sam,

Thanks for your patience!

Yes, this is a bug. We have already ticketed it on high priority and a developer will start working on it soon. If all goes according to plan, then this will be fixed in the next maintenance release. (More on our release schedule here.)

We are trying to push the MR to come out still before Christmas, but at this moment I cannot confirm any date. Please hang in there, the fix is coming.

Cheers,
Andras

Thanks for reaching out to us and bringing this to our attention.

I see in your system information that some of your calendar plugins are outdated, and there are mismatching version numbers, which can cause glitches. Could you please update all of your plugins (or at least all the Calendar plugins) to their latest versions and check if the issue still exists? Let me know the results.

Danke und Grüsse

One more thing to clarify about this:

I had to replace get_bloginfo('template_url') with get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') to have it even load the customized stylesheets

And this is what the text in the article says:

“Let’s say you want to replace the custom core and PRO stylesheets offered by the plugin and <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>load your theme’s own stylesheets</span> called custom-events-stylesheet.css and custom-events-pro-stylesheet.css respectively. You can use the aforementioned filters like this:”

That means that you have the stylesheets placed in your theme’s folder, and that is the parent theme. We might need to clarify this in the knowledgebase a bit more.

get_bloginfo(‘template_url’) gives URL of the active theme’s directory. Within child themes, both get_bloginfo(‘template_url’) and get_template() will return the parent theme directory.

And your fix was correct, as stylesheet_directory already looks in the child theme.

 

Cheers,
Andras

Hello Mike,

Welcome back and thanks for reaching out!

I’m afraid fully replacing / overwriting the css files is not possible. Also in the knowledgebase article you mentioned it says:

Keep in mind that when you put a custom stylesheet in the tribe-events folder, it will be loaded in addition to our stylesheets.

What you can try to do however is choose ‘Skeleton Styles’ under Events > Settings > Display tab > Default stylesheet used for events templates and then create your own css rules either in your child theme’s style.css file or in a separate one in you child theme folder. In the latter case don’t forget to enqueue that style as well.

 

If I might make a suggestion, EVERY css file and EVERY template view for all plugins should have instructions on how to replace them with edited versions in the Themer’s Guide AND in the title comments listed on the top of each file.

Thanks for the suggestion. The themer’s guide gives quite a detailed description on how the specific views and sections (like meta info) can be overridden. And if you take a look at the files which you mention, you will see that in the header you can find the instructions on how that specific file can be overridden. This, for example is taken from the map.php file from Events Calendar Pro

/**
* Map View Template
* The wrapper template for map view.
*
* Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/pro/map.php
*
* @package TribeEventsCalendar
*
*/

Since CSS files are not over-writable the same way, it wouldn’t be useful adding information like that there.

And you might be right that it should be mentioned for some more of the files in that list (or groups of files) where the override should be placed. I’ll forward this to the team and we’ll check it out.

 

I know that there are CSS inspector tools that do this, somewhat, but as an example, I don’t seem to be able to figure out what CSS can change the month view’s current day header formatting.

CSS inspector tools are really great and that is what we also use when helping out questions like that. Sometimes it might need a bit of digging, but if you are familiar with HTML structure and CSS a bit, then the inspector tools are of great help.

As to your questions, here is the css snippet that will change the current day’s header in month view:
td.tribe-events-present div:first-child, td.tribe-events-present div:first-child a {
background-color: red !important;
}
I hope my answers clarify the topic and I hope it helps you get started. Let me know if you need any more help.

Cheers,
Andras

Hello Margrethe,

Thanks for going Pro and welcome to the forums! Let me try to help you with this issue.

Events is also defined in another file, namely wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\lang\the-events-calendar-nb_NO.po

Try changing it there as well and let me know the outcome.

Also, if you would like your translations to stick after a plugin update, then I recommend placing these 4 files to the wp-content\languages\plugins\ folder.

the-events-calendar-nb_NO.po
the-events-calendar-nb_NO.mo
tribe-events-calendar-pro-nb_NO.po
tribe-events-calendar-pro-nb_NO.mo

You can find more details about this in this article:

How Do I Update the Calendar’s Language Translations?

Please, let me know if you need any more help.

Cheers,
Andras

Hey Corey,

Thanks for using our plugins and for reaching out! Sorry about this issue with the CSV import. Indeed, sometimes importing CSVs can get difficult / buggy due to limitations of the file format.

I might be able to help you with this or at least give you some tips. Could you share the file or the feed with me so I can check?

Thanks and cheers,
Andras

Hello Dan,

Thanks for reaching out! That’s a great question!

Unfortunately there is no hook or anything like that. I believe this would involve having a cron job. You could try a plugin that lets you create your own cron jobs. You would need to do this manually. Then maybe with some custom development it would be possible to link then end time of an event to a new cron job.

Here are some cron plugins that might help you with this:

WP-Cron Control

Cronjob Scheduler

WP Crontrol

Advanced Cron Manager – debug & control

https://wordpress.org/plugins/crony/

 

And this article might be of interest as well:

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
Andras
