Hi Mark,

So sometimes when you copy and paste code from the forums, depending on how it was formatted and a few other factors, various symbols can be transformed.

In this case, take a look at the single quotes on line 8 (and you’ll actually see the same thing throughout the code you shared). These should be straight quotes – but instead we have a different form of quote, a “fancy quote” if you will, that PHP doesn’t understand – you’ll need to correct these and any other symbols that have similarly been transformed.

Wrong:

apply_filters( ‘the_content’, urldecode( $params[‘details’] ) )

Right:

apply_filters( 'the_content', urldecode( $params['details'] ) )

As you correct things if you get any further errors of a similar nature please check out the referenced line and see if any of the symbols jump out at you 🙂

Hi Mark!

It’s hard to assess for syntax errors when you paste code in plain text (simply because so many characters are converted to a form that would be “illegal” within a PHP environment).

What are the actual errors you are hitting here and can you share the code via Pastebin, Gist or some other similar tool?

Thanks!

Hi Fanny,

Great questions!

do I have to remove first the normal woocommerce extension?

No, in fact WooCommerce Tickets will not run properly unless both WooCommerce and The Events Calendar are installed and active.

Can I sell teeshirts AND events and have the same cart / same checkout, etc .. ?

Yes! Tickets are, ultimately, another type of product and customers can buy these alongside any other merchandise types supported by WooCommerce 🙂

Does that answer your questions?

Hi Moritz:

Yes, events (and venues and organizers) exist as custom post types and can be retrieved via get_posts(), WP_Query and various other helpers provided by our own plugins.

Events Calendar PRO also provides additional fields functionality that takes traditional custom post fields to a new level – with special-purpose fields for things like radio buttons, checkboxs and URLs (though you can of course use regular custom fields if you prefer).

I hope that answers your questions but please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Hi Hopper,

That’s a great set of questions.

Right now integration with meetup.com is not something any of our plugins offer “out of the box”, though its actually something we are exploring.

To answer your last question which isn’t meetup.com-specific, while The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO are certainly geared toward the promotion of current and upcoming events it also provides unencumbered access to past events 🙂

I hope that answers your questions but do let me know if I can help with anything else.

Hi Morgane,

Thanks for contacting us!

The Events Calendar (and it’s associated plugins) are extremely flexible and they’d make a solid foundation for the sort of end-solution you are proposing.

That said, I do feel you’d need to do some custom coding to realize your ideas, here, as we don’t have anything that would quite slot in and deliver what you need “out of the box”.

We do have a ton of resources in the way of tutorials, existing forum content and so on to guide you through the customization process, though 🙂

I hope that helps!

Hi Mark,

So what you’re experiencing is the expected and intentional behaviour.

If you want to leverage the code snippet you found you can certainly give that a go. Simply replace 1000-01-01 with now (still within single quotes) and it should do what you want here 🙂

Does that help?

Hi kkwadrat,

I’m really sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing difficulties.

At this time I can only suggest that you investigate alternative translation/multilanguage site plugins. While we realize that WPML is popular, the current reality is that it is a source of various conflicts and integration issues and we’re unable to provide much in the way of assistance on that count.

Sorry I can’t offer more on this occasion.

Hi Danny,

When I test things out for myself the password protection form displays as expected (using just our plugins and a default theme on the latest version of WordPress).

I’m not sure why you’d be experiencing something other than this but I wonder if you could show me an example of a password protected venue without a custom single-venue.php template in place?

Hi Luciane,

We’re happy to help but we do try to stick to one question per support topic. Let’s look at your first question here and if you can create a new topic for the styling issues that would be appreciated 🙂

Hello I’m using the plugin and would like to know where is the file of the New Events Submission Form. I would like to take off some fields from this form.

So the best starting point is our Themer’s Guide, which covers the basics of safely overriding our templates.

Most of the fields are contained within various files found in the following directory:

the-events-calendar-community-events/views/community/modules

There is a template within there called venue.php for instance – this contains fields relating to venues and can be overridden by creating a copy within your theme, like so:

themes/YOUR_THEME/tribe-events/community/modules/venue.php

The same applies to all of the other templates.

Does that help?

Hi James,

Great question!

Might it be viable for you to use categories or tags for this purpose?

If not you might need to consider a custom filter implementation: thankfully, Filter Bar has been built in a way that facilitates all kinds of customizations including the addition of completely new filters, so doing so is readily achievable.

That said, such a customization is something we’d really need to leave in your hands (if you find categories and tags are unsuitable for the task) and you would definitely need a fairly good grounding in WordPress development to drive it forward.

I hope that helps!

Hi James,

Right now you’d need to modify a core plugin file (the-events-calendar/resources/embedded-map.js) to make this change.

Typically we wouldn’t recommend that approach – primarily because it will be overwritten when next you update – but it’s certainly possible if you want to give it a go.

A more robust and future proof approach, though it’s not for everyone, would be to dequeue that same script and replace it with your own (which could be based on the original).

I hope that gives you a few ideas you can explore 🙂

[Barry]

Hi Benny,

Perhaps you could make use of category archives here and simply link people to example.com/events/category/specific-events or similar?

[Barry]

Hi Pablo,

The best approach would be to use a hook like tribe_events_parse_query or tribe_pre_get_posts and modify the existing query appropriately.

Both these hooks are essentially specialized forms of WordPress’s own parse_query and pre_get_posts hooks – which you are also welcome to use.

This is definitely a more advanced customization to make and so if you’re unsure about the best way to use those hooks I’d recommend checking out the relevant WordPress Codex entries before going any further 🙂

[Barry]

Hi Raul,

Changing the .po file is one option (so long as you recompile the matching .mo file) – but alternatively you might make use of a plugin like this one or you could try the techniques listed in the following knowledgebase article:

theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-wording-of-any-bit-of-text-or-string

Do any of those options help?
