Hi integrity,

I’m curious about the source of this dialog.

Just to be clear – users with this particular role are experiencing the issue when submitting events on the frontend, via the Community Events submission form?

If so – just for the avoidance of any doubt – can you confirm it continues to happen even with no other plugins but our own and a default theme in place?

Thanks!

[Barry]

… Do also remember that .po files need to be compiled into .mo files before they take effect! Perhaps a template override would be a better way to handle this?

Hi Jos!

In our current release the Dutch translation for this piece of text can be found in tribe-events-calendar-nl_NL.po (lines 1807-1816).

Does that help?

Hi akis2001,

Thanks for posting!

So we wouldn’t normally recommend modifying core plugin code. Perhaps instead you could set up the following snippet either in the theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin?

add_action( '_admin_menu', 'remove_tribe_settings_page', 50 );

function remove_tribe_settings_page() {
	remove_action( 'admin_menu', array( TribeSettings::instance(), 'addPage' ) );
}

This should remove the main events settings link from the menu. Does that help?

2. how can i set the default sidebar to appear on an individual event page.

Do note that we try hard to stick to one issue or question per forum topic, so if you need further assistance with this I’d ask that you create a fresh topic.

That said, this is often achievable simply by changing the default template setting via the Events → Settings → Display admin screen – try playing with that and see if it helps (or create a new topic if you need further assistance for this issue).

Thanks!

So that’s a great example.

You’ve set the event to begin on April 23 and end on May 16. Let’s pretend for a moment that it is not a recurring event: it is 23 days in duration and so will show on every day of month view between April 23 and May 16.

Now, if you set this to recur annually, you’d have another event stretching out for 23 days beginning on April 23, 2016.

In this case however it is set to recur every week on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays – and so each week you will have another 3 events (beginning Thursday, Friday and Saturday) and each will be 23 days in duration.

What you need to do here is change the duration so it is for just one day (ie, starts on April 23 and ends on April 23) but keep the same recurrence pattern.

Does that help?

Hi Mark,

So the code found here would simply be added to your theme’s functions.php file (if you’re unsure where exactly, create a new line after the opening <?php tag and paste it in there).

I wonder – and if you don’t have time it’s fine – but do you know how to create a backup of your database and would you be willing to share a copy of it if so, so we can try and replicate to avoid this in the future?

Thanks!

[Barry]

Great, hopefully they can take it from here 🙂

What I’ll do at this point is close the topic (since it has been marked as resolved) but if you need anything further from our side for this issue please simply create a fresh topic and link back to this one to give some context to whichever team member takes it on.

Thanks again!

Thanks Leslie,

I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to them and obtain that code, but unfortunately it’s not massively helpful here — beautifying the minified code is something we can easily do ourselves, but the result is still basically obfuscated code that isn’t particularly easy to read and understand.

Normally the actual source will contain meaningful function and variable names and, ideally, some commentary which can make it far easier to read and understand, so that would be preferable here (and, just to highlight this, the theme stylesheet indicates that the theme is made available under the GNU General Public License – so requesting the source is more than reasonable and they really ought to comply with that).

We actually have a similar policy when it comes to supporting third party integration issues (though of course we generally try to help if we can) so I can sympathize with their position a little, but we would need them to meet us in the middle here.

Hi Beth,

I don’t have any specific examples to hand, I’m afraid, and as this is customization territory it’s really something we’d need to leave in your hands (bearing in mind you will need to be responsible for the code’s future maintenance) 🙂

The Codex itself is probably the best source of information on using post__not_in but essentially you would use it to provide an array of post IDs for exclusion:

$args = array(
    /* ... other args ... */
    'post__not_in' => array( 10, 20, 30 ),
    /* ...more args ...*/
);

Of course you’d probably want to create the array of IDs dynamically and would create a separate query for that.

Hi Christina,

It looks like you are using a plugin – possibly a caching plugin – that minifies things such as CSS code (CSS rules govern the appearance of the website, which is why I’m particularly interested in them).

Occasionally minification can cause problems by breaking rules in stylesheets and elsewhere – so turning off minification, even temporarily, would be one way to eliminate or confirm that possibility.

Additionally, it will make it far easier for me to inspect the CSS rules added by your theme/other plugins and advise you about possible corrective rules that we might add.

With that in mind, would you be able to turn off minification and let me know when you have done so?

Thanks!

[Barry]

My pleasure 🙂

[Barry]

Hi Beth,

I think you’re basically on the right track but perhaps what you need to do is build a list of post IDs that you wish to exclude, and then add those to the query via a post__not_in argument?

[Barry]

Hi Cindy,

We’re stoked to hear you are thinking of choosing our calendar plugins for your project!

1. I would like the end user to see an option to pick the calendar they would like: Personal Development, Spirituality, Wellness, etc… And then I would like end users to be able to pick a sub-category like Motivation, Time management / Meditation, Chakras, etc… I would also like them to be able to pick type of learning: Online, webinar, live, etc… I think the filter bar would allow for all of this?

Filter Bar would definitely make it easy for users to filter down by category. You could also craft sets of links to category-specific event pages, which might help here.

Really we’ve got a very flexible and customizable suite of plugins – so with a little creativity all kinds of things including the sort of navigation you have described are possible 🙂

2. I want the list view but it looks like people can pick the view they want from the demo? Or can I set it to always default to the list view and then let users chose other view?

Definitely! You can set the default view and activate/deactivate other options according to your preferences from within the settings screens.

3. Be able to easily use social media. I.E. I want to be able to send a post to FB or Twitter. Also can there be a section for the end user to share an event with social media

We do have a Facebook Importer – but for integration beyond that you would need to use a custom solution or one of the many great plugins specializing in social media integration.

4. Have a way to import from my current calendar. My current one will allow me to export to excel. In your support forum the section under CSV importer is empty.

So you can export to Google Calendar and additionally in iCal format, which is a commonly used calendar data format … one thing I’m not quite clear on is what you mean when you say the forum section under CSV importer is empty – can you point me to wherever you are seeing this? I’d just like to be sure there isn’t something out there confusing users 🙂

Thanks – and let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Christina,

I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing issues.

• Could you provide a link to the live site as though an image is useful it’s better still for us to be able to inspect the markup and CSS (which we can’t do via a screengrab)?
• It looks like you indicated not having been able to run through our standard troubleshooting steps, but these are worthwhile (even if you perform them on a test site) as they can highlight if the problem is a conflict with a plugin or your theme, and give us a head start on finding a solution

Could we start with a URL to let us view the problem directly?

Thanks!

[Barry]

That is a strange issue.

I see you already tried deactivating other plugins and I’m guessing that didn’t help.

I’m curious, though – were you able to try switching (temporarily) to a default theme, such as Twenty Fourteen – then “flush” permalinks (this is as simple as visiting the Settings → Permalinks screen – you need change nothing) and did it or does it work then?
