I am also having an issue with duplicate events from FB. Actually i had to delete over 2000 events that were automatically imported from FB.
That’s not good. What I would suggest though is raising this issue in a new thread – let’s concentrate on the image problem here.
Hi Ed – you’re absolutely correct, it does default to the format specified in the WordPress settings.
You can however override this, though you would need to familiarize yourself with theming and customization for The Events Calendar – so please take a look at our Themer’s Guide (link over on the right under Useful Resources) if you haven’t already done so.
What you would need to do is change the parameters of the tribe_get_start_date() function. By default it is used in the list.php template (and other templates) something like this:
echo tribe_get_start_date( null, false );The same function does allow you to optionally specify a date format:
echo tribe_get_start_date( null, false, 'jS F Y' );Hope that helps 🙂
Actually, maybe the typo was mine. Try this amended version: http://pastebin.com/dhhdc7TW
Difficult to say really without seeing it in the context of your theme’s functions.php file. Did you copy and paste it into place or type it by hand? Perhaps you could make your functions.php file available via Pastebin and I could take a look.
Well, I’m using WP 3.4.2 and I am able to import without any issues – since I was able to import your events that suggests they are set up correctly and the problem is in some way localized to your site (and that of James, of course).
If you are using the latest versions of our plugins, and deactivating all other plugins plus reverting to an unmodified, default theme has no effect then it’s starting to look like a problem that stems from your hosting environment.
@James did you have any success with these troubleshooting steps?
Hey Chris – you should be able to drop that into your theme’s functions.php file and you’ll be good to go.
If you have any problems though just remove it temporarily, let me know and I’ll see if I can figure things out with you (I might not be online again before Monday though).
Have a good weekend 🙂
Hi Tiago, I understand completely and please also accept my apologies for the delay in responding to you – we do endeavour to have a 24hr response time (not counting weekends) and clearly this thread has slipped through the gaps.
You could actually remove the “bubble” completely if you edit your code. Also – you may well be aware of this – you can click through from the calendar to a list of events for a specific day. By default, the actual date (ie “17” for the 17th of a given month) provides this link.
Once again you could change things round so that all events listed in the grid square use this same link.
The best way to learn about this stuff is to read up on our Themer’s Guide and do some experimenting 🙂
Hi Abdullateef – we definitely appreciate the feedback.
If you try disabling other plugins (other than The Events Calendar and Community Events) and switch back to a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Eleven do you still come up against these problems?
Hi Mike! That’s strange – are you able to switch back to a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Eleven? It’s looking to me as if the HTML generated by the header.php template (in a normal) theme isn’t being created.
Hi Chris.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look to me like this particular aspect of Community Events is really geared up for customization, though it is of course possible to localize the various messages that are displayed for different languages and geographies – so that is one approach you could use, if you are familiar with everything that is involved there.
Alternatively, I did knock together some code that might help you here – http://pastebin.com/N2G1s2vu – it basically just swaps out “Event submitted” with a message of your choice.
If you need to do something more extensive then there are various other possibilities too, but more in-depth customization is likely to be beyond the scope of what Leah and I can offer you.
I can certainly see some real merit in making it easier to customize this and I believe changes are afoot to make theming and front-end customizations in general a whole lot easier – nonetheless I’ll make a note on our issue tracker that this would be one area in particular that could do with some improvement.
If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
Hi Tony: I think this problem is in hand – if I could direct you to this thread https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/community-form-not-displaying-all-fields-2/ and wait for any updates to be posted there that would be great (it would help to keep all questions about this topic in one place).
Of course, if you have any further questions please also feel free to post them there.
Hi Jean, Leah asked me to take a look – however the URL you provided seems to redirect to your calendar page?
I don’t think there is a conditional to detect if an event has passed (if that’s what you are asking). Something you could do however is compare the start or end dates (obtainable via the tribe_get_start_date() and tribe_get_end_date() and compare their output to the current date.
Does that help here?
