I’d think most devs that are reasonably experienced with WP and – even better, The Events Calendar – could make fairly short work of this 🙂
You could post a request on any number of freelancer sites – or even try to make contact with people you see frequenting this or the wordpress.org forums – who seem like they may be able to help.
If you want to send it across so we can take a quick look (though I can’t guarantee anything) then go right ahead 🙂
Sure. I’ve asked a dev to look into this, so I should have an answer for you in the next couple of days/early next week.
Yes, you’re right, it does occur with just DirectoryPress and The Events Calendar running.
On this occasion though I don’t think there’s a lot we can do. To give you the short version, DirectoryPress is nullifying – wiping out – a global object called $wp_query which is created by the WordPress core itself.
Many plugins (and indeed themes) such as ours quite reasonably expect this object to be accessible for a certain period of time during a request. Wiping it as DirectoryPress is doing (even though they do restore it later) unfortunately has some knock-on effects here and that’s what you are experiencing.
We can’t really think of any good reasons as to why they need to do things this way and so we don’t really see this as being a problem with our plugin. So, in this instance, I’m afraid the best I can do is recommend you make use of DirectoryPress’s support channels and see if there’s anything they can offer up here.
I don’t want to sound like we’re slamming the door in your face on this one, so if you are unhappy with this and have some valid points to the contrary we’re definitely willing to listen.
Did you isolate this issue to a conflict between DirectoryPress and The Events Calendar – both work for me. Is it possible the conflict is somewhere else (or relates to another plugin, but only arises when all three elements are present)?
What happens if you take the site back to a basic state with only The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO and Twenty Twelve, and if you then activate DirectoryPress – does the same problem happen at that stage?
That’s strange.
When you opened the thread you noted that you tried deactivating other plugins and reverting to a default theme – did any of those steps fix this/were you able to isolate this problem to a specific component?
Yeah so I believe what you are seeing is basically the upcoming events page … so in essence the search query is being reinterpreted as, “Search for all upcoming events in relation to venues matching these terms {SEARCH TERMS}”.
I’m not entirely sure in honesty if that is by design or is a side effect of other processes, however due some fairly significant reorganization for the forthcoming 3.0 release I am not sure we will be making any further modifications here.
Do you feel this is something you can workaround? If not I can try to get an interim solution for you (though, given the above points, I can’t guarantee it).
Hi there AK. Great questions – I’ll try to answer each in turn.
Wootickets – Is it possible to restrict tickets or pages to certain users?
Yes I have no doubt that is possible – but it isn’t something WooTickets is especially built to facilitate. You would probably require another plugin or some custom code to bring this about.
Wootickets – Is it possible to view a backend demo of the tickets?
We don’t currently offer a backend demo of our plugins, but that’s a great idea and actually we’re considering setting up a system to allow this.
That said, check out our new user primers – they have plenty of visuals showing what the admin environment looks like. Our free, core plugin The Events Calendar is also available if you want to grab a copy and get a general feel for how our stuff works.
Wootickets – Is it possible to print the tickets?
Currently only to the extent that your browser allows you to print any webpage, but we’ve got some improvements on the horizon to help improve this.
Wootickets – Does it show a to and from date on the tickets?
No – but you could customize this aspect. Again, we’re introducing some changes in this area soon.
Wootickets – Is it possible to print the users gravatar on the tickets
Anything is possible! This would however be the sort of customization you’d need to tackle yourself. Thanks for getting in touch – if you need any further information please just ask.
Here’s some code showing how you could restructure things so that a select element (dropdown) and button are present. However, by itself it doesn’t do anything – you would need to support it with either some more PHP code, or some Javascript, or both.
Really it’s beyond the scope of support here to guide you through all of that, but hopefully it provides a starting point and gives you some ideas you can build off of.
We can definitely leave this thread open so that you can get help from the community as needed.
Can you give me an example of one of your venues? If you could provide a URL for the venue page and also for the malfunctioning search form that would be great.
… If that’s so, the first thing to do is read up on theming the calendar and template overrides in particular.
In this case all you probably need to override is the events.css file. So, copy the original and try adding these lines of code to the bottom of that file. You’ll hopefully then have a better experience with the default page template and gridview.
