Hi Jesus,

The uploaded image is automatically assigned as the post featured image (“post thumbnail”), so the size and presentation is basically as per any other events with featured images – to see how this looks on your site the best idea is to assign a featured image to an existing event (or create a test event especially) and take a look.

Does that help?

Hi again Ken – can you take a look at Jonah’s answer (the second post) in this thread?

Community Add template

Those template tags could be useful for your final point.

Hi Ken,

Great questions!

Can you make certain fields required? Definitely possible but unfortunately there aren’t any particularly easy routes to help you accomplish this. If you have a good working knowledge of either PHP or Javascript you might be able to jury rig something here.

I believe Casey has proposed this as an option for the devs to consider in a future version, as yet it’s not been either accepted or declined as a new feature however.

To hide fields such as the category selection (though I admit this isn’t the most elegant solution) you could default to a little CSS:

#EventInfo { display: none; }

And for the Google Maps fields:

#google_map_link_toggle { display: none; }

And for the show map option:

#google_map_toggle { display: none; }

It may be possible to prevent that markup from being sent to the browser altogether and that would arguably be a better solution; however it’s beyond the scope of support to help with that.

To allow non-image files to be uploaded, once again, is possible but it’s beyond the scope of what we can help you with. The acceptable file types are hard-coded in place and cannot be filtered, so you’d have to get creative and accept the uploaded file independently of Community Events and then determine the ID of the newly created event and attach it that way.

Last but not least, how can you avoid inserting the biog info on the community events pages … I’m not sure off the top of my head so bear with me while I check in with the dev team – I’ll update you as soon as I can.

Thanks!

The options, posts, post meta, terms, term relationships and the term taxonomy tables will all potentially carry data relating to The Events Calendar.

If you are using add-ons such as Eventbrite Tickets then the user meta table may also contain data relating to that plugin.

[Barry]

The Events Calendar doesn’t create any new tables, it uses the existing WordPress schema. For example: events, venues and organizers all live in the posts table and typically there are associated entries in the postmeta table, too.

Generally speaking most entries can be identified in the posts table via the post_type column – if it belongs to our plugin(s) that entry will have a tribe_ prefix.

[Barry]

We’ll close this off now. If there’s anything else please just create a new thread.

[Barry]

OK. Unfortunately then I don’t think there is much more we can do here: we don’t guarantee to be able to support every theme – though we’re happy to try – and when I test your theme I don’t experience this issue.

So there are a still a couple of options. One could be to go to the theme vendor/author and seek support from them; the other could be to create a new test installation of your own and start with just our plugins and the copy of your theme that you sent to me – see if you can replicate the problem under those conditions – then build things up from there.

Are you happy to give that a go?

[Barry]

No, ignore my last paragraph – I think I misunderstood part of your original question.

[Barry]

Realistically, it could be a 2 month wait. Unfortunately we are not in a position to commit to a specific date for the next release.

[Barry]

Right, yet it works on my test setup without any issues. I appreciate you may have tried this already but to avoid doubt can you confirm if this persists when all non-Modern Tribe plugins are deactivated?

In other words, so that only The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO and your theme are operating?

[Barry]

Thanks Schalk!

Hi simakoff. There is currently an encoding issue which will cause problems for those users who primarily use non-western/non-Roman alphabets.

We expect this problem to be solved in the next release as we are changing how ticketing is handled.

In the meantime, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

[Barry]

So I tested out the theme you sent across and it doesn’t cause any problems for me. Are there any customizations you have made to your own copy, or special settings I need to be aware of?

[Barry]

Hi Ken – you should be quite safe to trash venues when required. The only effect is that the event will no longer be assigned to a venue.
