Hi Jackie,

Some great points there.

Typically we do release regular – even monthly – bug fixes and in the ordinary course of things issues like the venue template would have been caught in the process.

However, currently our development resources are massively focused on The Events Calendar 3.0 (and indeed updating the whole stable of plugins to keep up with what are some pretty far reaching changes) and we haven’t been able to keep that monthly maintenance process rolling simultaneously. So that’s unfortunate, but for each of the outstanding bugs we are aware of generally only a pretty small percentage of the user-base is affected at any one time and we can generally get them a fix if it does become a problem for them.

Which takes me on to your second point. We would definitely agree that the naming conventions ought to be revised and in fact this is an area of the plugin that has been rebuilt completely for the 3.0 release.

If, incidentally, you were interested in checking out the new codebase (bearing in mind that it is in beta and not suitable for live use/production purposes yet) then we’d be more than happy to get a copy to you – if so, please just email my colleague Rob using the address in the following post.

Once again thanks for your feedback: we are listening and we want to make this the best experience we can.

OK: I’m still just trying to get a sense of what might be going wrong here.

If I visit http://events.bestofnj.com/calendar/2013-04-23/ I see 8 events, 2 of which are multiday and their date range includes 23 April and 6 of which actually start on April 23.

I see the same events on your calendar view at http://events.bestofnj.com/calendar/ and if I view your upcoming events list at http://events.bestofnj.com/calendar/upcoming/ I can also locate the 6 events which start on April 23.

So, my questions to you would be:

1) Which events are missing from the day view? Can you provide a URL for one of the missing single events?

2) All of the different views – day, month, upcoming – all seem to me to be in synch. So does this problem as you see it actually encompass more than just the single day view?

Thanks!

Barry

Hi Rob,

Looks like you’re missing a line in tickets.php. If you refer back to the version I posted you should see a line like this:

$wootickets_pricing[] = $product->get_price();

It needs to be present and similarly positioned in your version.

We’ll definitely take that feedback on board (and you can also create a request or add support to an existing request on our UserVoice page – which helps us to meter demand for any given feature).

I’d definitely agree that a great thing about WordPress is not having to be a coder to run it and I think you’ll agree that is, on the whole, also true of Community Events. However there are limitations and it does often require coding knowledge to achieve something that goes beyond the out-of-the-box look and feel of the plugin as you want to do here.

Generally speaking we feel that is a reasonable and practical way to approach things, but we can certainly investigate adding specific pieces of functionality like this if demand seems strong enough.

Excellent 🙂

Great!

OK: so, this isn’t really an issue with your theme, rather it’s looking like a problem we discovered with our single-venue.php template where the tags are unbalanced.

This replacement code will hopefully resolve the problem, if you use it to replace your current single-venue.php template.

Does that help here?

[Barry]

Ah yes … give me a moment while I do some digging. I have a suspicion this may be a known bug but I just want to confirm.

[Barry]

You could try using tribe_get_events() instead of a “raw” WP_Query. It essentially accepts the same arguments and a few new ones, so it’s possible that it the only change you need here (but if not let me know and I’ll take a closer look).

[Barry]

Well, I mean this is basically the realms of custom development so we can offer pointers but it’s ultimately up to you to build the solution you’re after here 🙂

Certainly if you prefer the way multiday events are handled in your own snippet then it makes sense to use that or, if you want a fusion of the two, then you’ll need to do a little more work on it.

I don’t think there’s too much more we can do here to help though so unless you’ve go further questions I’m inclined to close this ticket. Thanks!

Hi Yvonne,

I visited your community events page and made two test submissions, one without a category being selected and one with. I didn’t see the “Are You Sure You Want To Do This?” message however.

Are there any steps I’m missing here? If you could detail what you are doing to make this happen point-by-point that would be terrific.

Note that I’m going to move your credentials from the above post and place them in a private post, just in case you didn’t realize that they were publicly visible.

You can of course have more than one event on a single day – the limitation only exists in terms of recurring event support.

So, if you want to set up an event and have it recur daily Monday-Saturday (but with two performances, Wednesday and Saturday) then I’m afraid you can’t do that with the current recurring event system. You could of course add matinée performances with standalone events and simply link to them from other events.

If this is common in the theatrical and perhaps other sectors it could certainly be worth checking out our UserVoice page. You can then show your support for anyone else who has already proposed this, or even create your own request.

Hi Ethan,

This is basically similar to this topic – the problem is that, right now, the email alerts are not easy to customize.

If you’re feeling adventurous you could set up a wp_mail filter and customize things that way, but I wouldn’t really recommend that unless this customization is essential.

What I have done however is log this for our dev team as an area needing attention and you can definitely suggest making the emails more customizable over on our UserVoice pages, too, if you want – that way other users can also show their support for this and we can gauge how much of a priority it is.

Thanks!

Scripts directly relating to The Events Calendar/the add events form include:

* events-admin.js
* events.js
* chosen.jquery.min.js
* jquery-ecp-plugins.js
* jquery.pjax.js

And they depend in turn on various other scripts, which is why it would be best for you to inspect them for yourself. But you could certainly start with the above ones and see if setting exceptions for them helps or not.
