Hi Taras,
There’s no particular shortcut for this – the simplest possible approach would involve some work at template level (check out our docs listed in the Useful Resources widget on the right of this page – we have a number of template tags that can be used to build conditional statements etc).
If you have a large number of events that need to be ordered in the sort of manner you are describing, complete with pagination, then that is going to be a bit more involved.
I’m afraid we can’t really provide an estimate on time for this, it would really be up to the implementing developer to do that 🙂
Only tentatively; we expect it to arrive within the next couple of months however the release date is currently something of a moving target and is subject to change.
Hi hometownchatter, this is more of a general Events Calendar question so I’m going to move it across to our Pro forum.
My mistake, but yes you are right – that’s something Events Calendar PRO adds to the mix. So let’s try a different approach.
I appreciate you mentioned you don’t have a huge amount of knowledge about working with code, but I’m going to assume you are already comfortable with template overrides as a baseline – if you aren’t then please do take the time to read our Themer’s Guide and this tutorial on template overrides.
The first thing to do is copy the template used to display those fields across to your theme. So please find:
plugins/the-events-calendar/admin-views/venue-meta-box.php
And copy it to your theme’s events/community sub directory, something like:
themes/{YOUR-THEME}/events/community/venue-meta-box.php
We’re going to edit your theme’s version slightly, so open it up and locate these lines of code (should be lines 26-75). Replace them instead with these lines.
Now we need to glue this altogether by telling The Events Calendar to use your customized venue meta box template. To do this open your theme’s functions.php file and add this snippet.
Great – yep this isn’t something we/our plugin has any bearing on so WooCommerce/WooThemes own support channels would be best here.
I noticed we had not updated the licenses to point to the live domain rather than the staging domain which has now been done. However this doesn’t seem to be the issue.
Just to put your mind at ease (or anyone else’s who might be reading this) the lack of a license key will not affect key functionality beyond access to automated updates
Hi Wolfgang,
Unfortunately I think you’re coming up against a limitation/bug in the current version of WooTickets.
Handling of deleted orders (and removal of information from the attendee table) will be much improved in the next version. At this time however you would need to manually remove the relevant entries from the database should it be essential to remove them.
Hi Mike,
I’m sorry you feel it isn’t a finished product and would like to address that first of all.
Your use of terms such as attendee names and advanced ticket management rather suggest you are looking for a comprehensively featured event management tool. That’s important because, from our side, WooTickets was designed as a straightforward ticketing solution – and what you perceive as a lack of features is in large part the result of a deliberate drive toward simplicity.
I would also add that, unless I’m mistaken (in which case do let us know and we’ll try to improve the accuracy of our descriptions), nowhere do we refer to WooTickets as having the features you have enumerated above.
We’re definitely listening to the feedback you and other customers are providing and it may be we decide to start building in some more event management functionality based on what we’re hearing – there certainly does seem to be demand for more features in this direction – realistically however that isn’t going to be something that happens overnight.
To answer your question about how quickly the next version of WooTickets will be available, we would hope it is delivered alongside The Events Calendar 3.0 within the next couple of months. We’d love to give you and all our users a solid deadline but, I’m afraid, we can’t do that – do know that we are getting very close to tying everything together however.
OK – this seems to work for the majority of our users and certainly does for me when I test on my own installation. Normally also there is no need to use another plugin to allow subscriber-role users to submit events.
So it’s possible this problem could be the result of something else and we can investigate that if you like or – if you are happy with your current solution using Capability Manager Enhanced – we can leave things at that.
I’m afraid there are no specific reference materials to coach your through this one – but for an overview of developing with The Events Calendar in general please see our technical docs (and other references) listed under Useful Resources in the sidebar.
For information on adding new admin screens and working with WordPress you should refer to the WordPress codex – beyond that the best information is contained in the code itself 🙂
Hi John – that’s great if that works for you. If you want to try it out though our developer just cooked up this snippet which you would drop in your theme’s functions.php file.
No – I believe that is Trident-based, however the problem could be similar. Could be worth checking in with your theme vendor via their support channels for this.
Hi Dustin – code snippets don’t always work as expected, unfortunately, so it’s best to use an external service such as Pastebin and paste a link in here. Sorry for the inconvenience!
We’re definitely open to feedback and suggestions: if you want to either comment on or show support for an existing relevant entry on our UserVoice page – or else create a new suggestion there if this isn’t covered – then we can use that as a general gauge of interest levels.
Seems to me a (select class date) option shouldn’t be that difficult to program.
By itself it probably isn’t outrageously difficult to program – but even so there are a lot of facets to consider and a solid solution that works well for lots of people with subtly different use cases and needs isn’t going to be simple, either.
