OK – so the plugin can’t do that without the help a few customizations.

Exactly which approach might work best for you I’m not sure, but one possibility is to use the additional fields capabilities of Events Calendar PRO to specify alternative dates.

These alternative dates could be the “true” dates, if you like (so 02/10/2014 – 01/09/2015 in the case of Arsenal FC Official Hospitality Packages, as an example). With that in place you could:

• Turn off the setting to hide subsequent recurring events, if you have this enabled
• Set the event up as a recurring event that takes place during the month of April and recurs monthly for however many months you need it to (this will ensure there is an entry under each month heading, ie April 2015, May 2015, and so on)
• Make a customization so that the displayed event dates make use of your alternative, additional field-powered dates when available (so each entry continues to provide the true date range of 02/10/2014 – 01/09/2015, or whatever makes sense for the event in question)

In terms of know-how for making these changes, you would certainly need to be fairly comfortable with basic WordPress development. These plugin-specific resources would also be worth reviewing:

• Themer’s Guide
• Docs for tribe_events_event_schedule_details()

With that said, it sounds like you’re really trying to promote the events outside of a calendar-like context – in that you’re not really interested in listing the events ordered by when they actually take place – so it could be that trying to modify things in this way is “wrong” and perhaps cross posting to the main blog loop would be better.

At any rate, I hope that gives you a few ideas to explore 🙂

Hi Steven,

Glad that helped 🙂

So in terms of creating a photo-view like layout, check out the following tools and resources:

• Masonry grid layout library
• Enqueuing scripts in WordPress

I wish you luck – since we are very much in custom development territory here, though, I’m going to go ahead and close out this topic. I hope it all works out!

Hi Ken,

How can I display this recurring event from April 2015 onwards and show and repeat it throughout May, June, July on this page.

So the hospitality packages are ongoing events run for 11 months of the year, give or take, but you want to promote them under each month’s heading, like this:

APRIL 2015

Arsenal FC Official Hospitality Packages
02/10/2014 - 01/09/2015 ←[SAME DATE RANGE]

Other Similar Events
03/11/2014 - 02/10/2015

MAY 2015

Arsenal FC Official Hospitality Packages
02/10/2014 - 01/09/2015 ←[SAME DATE RANGE]

More Hospitality Offerings
03/10/2014 - 01/10/2015

...etc...

That is, the event start/end dates would remain the same – but it would just be listed multiple times. Is that an accurate summary of this specific problem?

We’re happy to help with your other questions (about removing the reference to October 2014 – there may even be an existing forum post and solution for this – and about removing the previous events link) but since we have a policy of sticking to one question per support topic I’d ask that you post fresh questions for those 🙂

Thanks!

Hi Benjamin,

That’s a great question.

At this time, since what you’ve described isn’t directly supported, I think the sort of path I’d explore here would be sticking to two “real” products/tickets (Course A and Course B) thus ensuring each has its own inventory controls.

The third option – bundling Course A and B – might appear to the customer as a single option within the single event ticket form but could in fact be a device of your own creation that, when selected, replaces itself with the correct quantity of Course A and B tickets.

It’s possible you might even find tools to help with this from the wider WooCommerce ecosphere. Actually putting this together, however, is a customization we’d need to leave in your hands and it would almost certainly require a good working knowledge of WooCommerce development.

Apologies Griselda, the code I referenced isn’t showing, which may be a temporary glitch. Here it is again:

function conditionally_remove_tribe_before_html( $html )  {
	if ( ! function_exists( 'tribe_is_community_edit_event_page' ) ) return $html;
	if ( ! tribe_is_community_edit_event_page() ) return $html;
	return '';
}

add_filter( 'tribe_events_before_html', 'conditionally_remove_tribe_before_html' );

Hi Gisela,

The intention is for any messages/HTML you add via the before and after event content fields to display on all event related pages – so what you are experiencing is the expected behaviour.

However, it’s fairly easy to stop it from displaying on the submission page only.

https://gist.github.com/barryhughes/be4b056257ceb214d169#file-conditionally-stop-events-before-html-php

The code above could be placed in your theme’s functions.php file – try inserting a few blank lines after the opening <?php tag and paste it in there – but if you have any doubt or problems it may be best to delegate this to a designer/developer you trust 🙂

I hope that helps!

Hi Steve,

Some facilities including export to Google Calendar and subscription via iCal feeds are included – but what you’re describing, an email based system integrating a third party service like Mailchimp, isn’t covered by default.

It would certainly be possible to build a customization to facilitate this – and indeed The Events Calendar and its related plugins like Events Calendar PRO have been built with customization in mind, so they’re a great platform for this sort of thing.

Does that answer your questions?

[Barry]

Hi Steven,

It’s certainly possible, but at this time it would need to be implemented via a customization 🙂

How easy it is naturally depends on how familiar you are with our plugin, WordPress and development generally – but I wouldn’t categorize this as too difficult.

While the amount of help we can offer for bespoke customizations like this one is pretty limited we do have resources like the following knowledgebase article which could be useful here:

theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/listing-venues-and-organizers

Does that help?

Hi marc-andre,

While I’m unfamiliar with the plugins you listed I wonder if they depend on products being accessible via a normal WooCommerce page rather than within our own ticketing form?

If so, you could perhaps try following the steps described in the following knowledgebase article which explain how to make regular product pages for tickets accessible (this often opens up a number of possibilities when working with other WooCommerce addons):

theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/selling-tickets-from-the-woocommerce-products-page

Does that help?

Hi Boris,

So if I’m understanding you correctly this problem relates to WooCommerce (the plugin created by WooThemes) rather than WooCommerce Ticket (our own extension).

I’m wondering if perhaps the best course of action here would be for you to approach WooThemes? If the problem rests within their plugin then they will be best placed to fix it 🙂

Hi Pablo,

I don’t feel I fully understand what you’re describing here – and please also bear in mind that our level of support for customizations like this one is pretty limited.

In other words, I can not use the filtering url unless the filter itself is visible in the filter bar?

So I don’t know exactly what you’ve put in place at code level but I wouldn’t have thought there would be any difficulty in using the hooks I listed earlier to filter the result regardless of what might be visible in Filter Bar.

Perhaps you just need an alternative approach for triggering them?

[Barry]

Glad you figured things out here 🙂

Since you’ve marked this as resolved I’ll go ahead and close this topic – but of course please don’t hesitate to create new topics if you need help with anything else.

Thanks again!

[Barry]

Awesome, glad that helped 🙂
