I don’t believe there are any specific filters for that template tag; you could use tribe_get_event_meta but that’s further upstream.
Do note however that tribe_get_country() returns its output rather than echoing it, so you could easily filter it yourself by creating a new template tag of your own which converts tribe_get_country()’s output to an abbreviated format (whether that’s ISO 3166 or some other scheme).
Sorry – I thought it was included in the drop down.
The URL was chopped off before the tilde, only the IP address was visible – could be a problem with our forum software though (I’ll check that out later).
If you scroll down the page you’ll see there’s a post with a thumbnail for the formatting inconsistencies. Resizing the browser will show the responsive issues.
Basically this is all a matter of styling – we’ve tried hard to make the calendar output look presentable in 99% of cases but there are always going to be scenarios where it doesn’t quite mesh with a theme or doesn’t quite behave how you would like. In these scenarios you can of course customize it.
Template overrides provide a clean and safe way of completely changing the markup and structure of the calendar’s output, allowing you to work with a structure you understand or even that naturally inherits more of the theme’s look and feel.
Adding new stylesheets (same principle as template overrides, you would copy events.css to your theme’s events folder and add appropriate new rules) is another way of changing the appearance.
Particularly if you want it to behave responsively it may be that you will need to determine what these new rules should be by yourself (or working with a designer) if it is to really fit your theme like a glove.
Another user, Andy Fraggen, also posted here on the forum about making The Events Calendar responsive and I believe he may even have written a plugin to automate much of this – so it could also be well worth finding and reading up on.
Thanks!
Hi Gail – can you share an example? I looked at this event and also this event but neither showed as having already passed.
When i click a venue i just get a list of upcoming events for ALL venues and then when i click the event i still get the event has passed message.
I can’t see the problem. I looked at this venue, it looked as I would expect and only showed a single upcoming event, not all upcoming events.
When working with Thomas it became apparent he was seeing something quite different from what I was seeing, so:
- Consider trying to view the site using your web browser’s incognito or “In Private” mode, or equivalent – and do not sign in when you do so
- If you are using a caching plugin then try deactivating it. Check in with the plugin author, too. It’s possible for the cache to persist even after the plugin has been disabled in some circumstances.
Sure, well there are two avenues. It may still be possible simply to use CSS (the :first-child selector may be useful in targeting the first even, for instance) but if not you can completely change the widget’s appearance by using template overrides: please see tutorial for more details on how to do this.
Yes there is.
Most or all of our date-related template tags accept an optional date format parameter, which is basically just the same as accepted by PHP’s date function:
tribe_get_end_date(null, false, 'H:i:s')Or you can tell it to display the time (and therefore adopt the same format as used elsewhere in your blog) and pass a blank format:
echo tribe_get_end_date(null, true, ' ');Note that an empty string ” won’t work here, you need at least one character of whitespace.
How odd.
Are you able to run through our standard troubleshooting steps? This would involve temporarily disabling all other plugins and switching to a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Eleven – and would help to determine if this might be due to a conflict with another plugin.
Are you also able to update The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO to the latest versions (2.0.10)?
Hi Roberto. I received your email.
As I understand it, you need to display upcoming events on the homepage. Are you able to define a new sidebar, then embed the Events List Advanced Widget – which can display the next n upcoming events?
You would then only need to style it or customize it as per our tutorials. Does that help here?
Thanks Emu. For whatever reason that URL doesn’t seem to load, I’ve tried a couple of times now (also checked using downforeveryoneorjustme – looks like the whole of anmfsa.staging.emu.com.au is down, not just the event you linked to).
I’ll check in with you later in the week to see if you still need help and if the server issues have been resolved 🙂
