Hi Tom!

This will only be relevant if you are using the default events templates and haven’t modified them, but:

• Title h2.entry-title
• Start date dd.event-meta-start
• Cost dd.event-meta-cost
• Organizer dd.event-meta-author a
• Organizer phone dd.event-meta-phone
• Venue dd.event-meta-venue a

There are some great tools out there like Firebug (if you are a Firefox user), Dragonfly (if you are using Opera) or the dev tools built in to Chrome that can help you find this stuff 🙂

[Barry]

Yes, albeit in relation to organizers.

[Barry]

Excellent! Views/templates are being overhauled for the 3.0 release so hopefully we won’t see this again.

Hi Kristin!

So I need to make an events folder in my theme directory, then copy the ecp-page-template.php and paste it in that new folder all by itself?

Yes.

Which do I specify as October 2012? month? Please be more specify. I looked at the code I can paste, but I don’t know how to customize it for my purposes (ie. I don’t want to show the calendar before October 2012, only October 2012 and forward).

So currently it assumes that visitors shouldn’t see anything before the current month (December 2012 right now, for instance). If you would prefer to fix that date as October 2012 then find this line:

$thisMonth = date('Y-m').'-01';

And change it to:

$thisMonth = '2012-10-01';

Does that help?

Hi Kristin – I’m guessing you are all sorted here and will close this thread shortly: in the event you need further help please post back in the next couple of days 🙂

[Barry]

Hi Christina, haven’t heard back from you for a while – hopefully everything is in order and you solved the issues with your theme. I’ll keep this open for a few more days in case you need more help.

[Barry]

Sort of, yeah. Quite a few people are showing interest in this and that’s been noted – it probably isn’t quite as high a priority as other feature requests, but it will hopefully come to fruition in the fullness of time.

[Barry]

OK, my fault for making a big assumption there (that you were working inside the loop in something like the upcoming events list).

Re-reading your first and later posts, I’m not actually 100% clear on what you are doing here, but why not rest up as you suggest and get back to me if you need clarification on anything at that point.

Thanks!

[Barry]

Hi Marco – I’m not completely clear about what you’re trying to do, but it sounds like you’d need a suitable slider plugin (unless that is a feature that is built in to your theme). Also, how are you identifying events as featured?

You might be interested in this thread which covers similar stuff: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/integrating-slideshow-with-the-events-calendar-pro/

[Barry]

For completeness, tribe_get_organizer() which optionally accepts a post ID (though it isn’t required if you’re in the loop) returns the organizer name, if one is set.

[Barry]

Would this work for you? http://pastebin.com/rMvKjBzK

[Barry]

We’ve already logged this as a feature request and I’ve noted that you are also interested in it – however it’s yet to be decided if it will be included in a future version/what version it will be included in if so.

Right now I’d reckon using Advanced Custom Fields is as good a solution as any 🙂

[Barry]

However, it made me wonder… are the dates and times managed by custom fields?

Yes, in a sense. It’s all held as post meta data and it’s not too complex a pattern if you take a peak at your database.

The only problem I can see with your plan is that one of those post meta fields is expected to contain a serialized PHP array. I’m not sure that even ACF will handle that for you – but then again maybe it can (I’m not massively familiar with it) or maybe it can itself be extended to do so.

Hi Darshan.

I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties. At what point is this occurring? If it is after the customer has run through the checkout process then I’d suggest seeking help from the WooCommerce team.

Cheers,

Barry

I’ll ask the team tomorrow if they can summarize any major points that changed; to answer that myself I’d have to compare each version using diff tools etc and that would be just a touch too time consuming – but it could be others who have been on the team longer can offer a concise summary more easily than I can.
