Yeah that sounds exactly right if you want for example Monday 7 January, then Monday 21 January, then Monday 4 February (so every other week).
What are you seeing? Can you provide another screenshot of your settings and tell me which event I should be looking out for on your calendar page?
Hi Thomas, I think perhaps you are misinterpreting my instructions. What I have suggested a couple of times now is that you set the Start Date/Time and the End Date/Time to the same date – whereas you have set them to two different dates.
So, instead of having a start date of 2013-01-04 and an end date of 2013-01-25 these should both be 2013-01-04. Here’s those basic instructions again:
- Create a new event
- Set the Start Date/Time and the End Date/Time to Monday 7 January 2013 (or whatever the first day is in your case)
- Choose Recurrence: Custom
- Ending on Monday 28 January 2013 (or whatever the last day is in your case)
- Frequency should be Weekly Every 1 Week(s) on Monday
In your case you will want to use 2013-01-04 instead of Monday 7 January 2013 and 2013-01-25 instead of Monday 28 January 2013. Otherwise, those are pretty much the instructions you need to follow here.
Does that help?
Hi Britney!
For instance, in the invitation email, I’d like either a ticket widget within the email or a button that links them directly to purchasing tickets without having to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the event page.
You could customize things so that the ticket form is enveloped within a div, to which you could assign a specific ID such as buy-tickets.
In your emails, you could like back to the event page and include that ID in the URL:
http://example.com/events/my-event/#buy-tickets
And that should take anyone following the link straight to the relevant part of the page.
ikewise, I’d like to be able to put ticket sales in the sidebar of the event as a widget; again, so that people don’t have to scroll all the way down.
You mean the same ticket form displayed by default at the bottom of the single event page?
If so, that may be possible but might introduce a few challenges. It would be comparatively easy to move the ticket form higher up in the page, though.
Hi Patrick – take a look at this tutorial. Does that help at all?
(To keep those menus in place for super admins you’d need to add a little logic of your own.)
Hi Elizabeth – this sounds completely possible. The first thing to do is familiarize yourself with a few concepts:
As you will need to set up a directory for custom templates within your theme in order to avoid problems when next you update The Events Calendar.
Hi Thomas! The issue with the spinning circle is a quite separate problem and it would be great if you could create a separate thread for that to avoid any confusion.
I followed the directions and it still does not work. I can do one day but cannot do any repeats.
Can you itemize the settings you used, or even share a screenshot so I can see the recurrence pattern?
That’s strange. How did you install it?
If you installed it manually you might have come across a problem whereby the .zip archive of Facebook Events made available at Account Central > Downloads is “double-wrapped”, so if for instance you unzipped it locally you might have ended up with a directory called:
the-events-calendar-facebook-importer.1.0.3
However the plugin directory itself would be inside this and would actually be named:
the-events-calendar-facebook-importer
(If this is the case you may find another sub-directory called __MACOSX in there too.)
Are you able to look inside your wp-content/plugins directory using FTP software (or your hosting control panel) to check out if this is indeed the problem?
So regarding the initial change I suggested, you do need to have selected Default Events Template in Events > Settings > Template for this to work – can you confirm if you have done that?
OK, cool. Since I think we’re all sorted here particularly with the original problem posted by Thomas my inclination is to close this thread and we can keep the conversation going on your new thread (Javier).
Thomas: if you still need help don’t hesitate to let me know in the next few days and we’ll keep this thread open.
OK, so for that sort of set up here is what you need to do:
- Create a new event
- Set the Start Date/Time and the End Date/Time to Monday 7 January 2013 (or whatever the first day is in your case)
- Choose Recurrence: Custom
- Ending on Monday 28 January 2013 (or whatever the last day is in your case)
- Frequency should be Weekly Every 1 Week(s) on Monday
And that should generate the pattern we talked about.
However, it would still be very nice for me and, I guess, for many others as well, if such things were enabled and handled by WooTicket by default
That’s a completely fair point and I’ll take note of your comments so the team can review them.
In my case, I would set a single event from 2013-01-14 to 2013-01-23 but excluding some dates: 15th, 17th, 19th, 20th and 22nd of January (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday).
Javier: ah ok. I see what you are saying. I’ll log this as a feature request but I’m not sure if it will be accepted or not, I suspect it’s a bit of an edge case.
no. what I mean is I need to set one event that repeats for say 4 weeks only on mondays OR only on tues, etc.
Thomas: perhaps we’re misunderstanding one another? Is this the sort of pattern you are trying to create (if not, can you give an example of what you are trying to create)?
- Monday 7 January 2013 (initial event)
- Monday 14 January 2013 (recurring instance)
- Monday 21 January 2013 (recurring instance)
- Monday 28 January 2013 (recurring instance)
Right now I can specify an inventory per ticket type, but I’d rather set an inventory per event. Does that make sense?
David: this makes perfect sense and echoes a feature request we received quite early on – thanks for posting though, it’s a strong indication that this is something lots of users desire.
Our client also sells tickets on his premises, and needs a way to have “local”/”cash” payments enabled for this.
Phillipe: that makes sense, but this is one of the areas where I suspect you’d need to look at WooCommerce for a suitable payment mode. The actual transaction processing is handled by that plugin rather than WooTickets.
Our client would like to be able to sell reduced-price tickets for a) his own employees and possibly somewhere down the raod also to preferred guests. This also means that these prices should only be visible and selectable for certain logged-in users.
So this one is a bit trickier, but again I suspect the process you’d need to implement would be pretty much the same as if you were doing this for any WooCommerce product.
It’s worthy of further exploration, though, for sure.
Also, an idea for this forum: ability to +1 or thumbsup or whatever for suggestions one would also like to have.
There are some changes pending to improve the forum as there are currently quite a few limitations. I’ll add a note to our issue tracker that you’d like to see this, no guarantees though 🙂
