OK, gotta question for you. Have you set up the Alarm field in the Events > Settings > Additional Fields page, either manually or by adding the additional field programmatically?

[Barry]

… Actually … I think I see what you are getting at here. Let me check something with one of the developers. I’m not 100% sure but it could be that we are looking at a bug here.

[Barry]

As for the purpose of my question, I guess it’s really not practical to try and set this Additional Field within the plugin code, better to just report that it’s necessary for the plugin.

I don’t doubt there is a way to do what you want, unfortunately this sort of thing sits outside the scope of support – so I can’t allocate too much time to it, unfortunately – but we can let this sit topic sit and see if anyone else can pitch in here, it’s entirely possible that someone else has had a bash at this.

Hi Craig – that’s interesting.

I can see “Test 2” and “Event Testing” in your upcoming events list – but I cannot see “Test Event”. Can you look at this event in the editor and confirm the event data and if its status is published?

Are you also in a position to run a quick test and try importing another event or set of events from Eventbrite?

Thanks!

Hey Caitlin: got a couple of questions for you – the first is to ask if you are you running any additional SEO-related plugins, site-map generators or anything like that … and if so could you provide a note of what those are?

Secondly, there are at least two ways to deal with requests for empty day views – one would be to return a 404 (page not found) error, the other would be to do a 301 redirect back to the calendar view for the relevant month. Do you have any particular preference as to how you’d like to see this handled?

It is in simple terms a choice between telling a visitor (including Google) that the page doesn’t exist, or telling them they should go see another page instead.

Look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Not really. The template tags are for use within the WordPress site.

Just a thought Michelle, but although the template tags are generally used within theme templates they don’t have to be used in this way. You could definitely use them elsewhere simply as a means of pulling data into the views for your custom feed.

I’ve updated you by email – however I’m not seeing this problem on your test site (either that or I am misunderstanding what the problem is …). Look forward to your update!

I think you might be misreading TribeEventsCustomMeta::save_meta_options() slightly. Essentially it exists as a filter, calling it directly will not cause anything in the database to be updated, for instance.

If you look at the ECP code itself it’s the job of the setOptions() method in the TribeEvents class to actually save stuff.

Two other points, though I guess they might be be moot now, are:

1. You should probably remove the false ! operator from your isset() statement. The first time I looked at your code I was really just doing a quick scan, I wasn’t thinking about what you were trying to achieve. But in this case I think you want to take action whenever the variable isempty.

2. PHP is tolerant enough that this will work anyway – but save_meta_options() is a static method and that’s how it should be called, not as an instance method (so the :: operator instead of the -> operator)

Anyway, that’s just some thoughts, will let you take things from here 🙂

[Barry]

No problem, I hope that gets you on track 🙂

[Barry]

Once again I’m just popping by to reassure you that this is still on the radar. I’ll check in with one of our developers (who is looking into this) and see if there is any update for you.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Andrew! Just checking in to see if you need any further help here?

[Barry]

Hi Wayne! it might be worth taking a look at this thread:

Make a specific Calendar catagory private

And Daniel’s solution in particular (towards the end of that thread). I hope that helps!

[Barry]

Hi Marc, I’ll post this in the other thread also but I just wanted to give you a heads up that Daniel’s post, toward the end of the following thread, may be worth looking into:

Make a specific Calendar catagory private

Taking heed of the “Please Enable WP_DEBUG” request in that screenshot could I ask you to insert the following line in your wp-config.php file:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

Then visit the events page (or what ought to be the events page) and check the debug toolbar again – ensuring you click on the “Notices/Warnings” tab. That might provide a little more information – sharing it by way of a screenshot ought to be fine.

Can I ask if you are using pretty permalinks and if so what the structure is (for instance, “%postname%”)?

Thanks!
