I’m not sure I see this/am understanding you. If I look at your main events page I can see if it is now showing list view by default. The dates and times of the events I see listed are in this order:
- Nov 13 @ 8pm (ongoing)
- Nov 14 @ 1pm
- Nov 14 @ 6pm
- Nov 15 @ 10am
- Nov 15 @ 11am
- Nov 15 @11am
- Nov 15 @ 3pm
- Nov 16 @ 11am
- Nov 16 @ 12pm
- Nov 17 @ 7pm
So it seems to be in the expected chronological order, best I can tell.
I changed it to list and still the last item in the database is listed first and the first is last. The database needs to load in ascending order and is not. It is loading in the wrong order.
(Emphasis is mine, of course) so you quite literally mean you want it to load not chronologically but by post ID? Or are you trying to show the most recently added event first?
Sorry for the confusion, just trying to get a better grasp on what you’re trying to achieve here.
Hi jmdennis,
When you create a recurring event initially the URLs – as you pointed out – should look something like this:
- example.com/my-event/all/ (list of all events in the series)
- example.com/my-event/2014-11-01/ (instance taking place on Nov 1)
- example.com/my-event/2014-12-01/ (instance taking place on Dec 1)
- …etc…
If you edit a single event in the series then what you are actually doing is breaking it out of the series – and a warning should appear to that effect, before you even reach the event editor:
Let’s suppose you decided to break out /my-event/2014-12-01/ in this manner. The post can’t share the same URL as before (it’s no longer a recurring event and that particular permalink pattern is reserved as a means of identifying recurring events only). Nor can it use /my-event/ which is already reserved.
Instead, the permalink is flattened out to /my-event-2014-12-01/ which preserves the slug and combines the date to provide what we hope is a meaningful URL.
Note that, at this point, example.com/my-event-2014-12-01/ is now a standalone event with no relationship to the other events in the chain it was originally a part of. If you now edit this and make it into a new recurring event it will behave in exactly the same way as any other event and any events in the series will have URLs like these:
- example.com/my-event-2014-12-01/2014-12-05/
- example.com/my-event-2014-12-01/2014-12-10/
- …etc…
I hope that gives a little insight into the process. Do note that, just as with posts and pages, you are free to edit the post slug if you find it undesirable.
How can I get our Hot Lunch events to use the same URL format as our Pizza Lunch entries?
The short answer is, they cannot be identical (otherwise there is no way WordPress or our plugin could differentiate between them) but you can certainly edit the slug for your pizza lunch entries to something clean like pizza-lunches … so long as that slug is not already “taken”, of course.
Does that clarify things?
Hi there cgarwriter,
Sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties.
Can you point me to an example of this problem – I did visit your site but was unable to see the problem. Right now it looks like you have only week and day view enabled – is it possible some confusion is stemming from the fact that, in day view, ongoing events are listed first of all in a section of their own?
For instance, if you look at November 14, an event starting at 8pm is shown before an event starting at 1pm. However, the first event actually began on the 13th (so it’s an ongoing event and its positioning is correct) whereas the 1pm event begins on the 14th.
Does that clarify things or can you provide a specific example if not?
Thanks!
Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
It’s definitely a possibility – all kinds of customizations are possible (and please do review our Themer’s Guide which covers many of the basics in terms of safely overriding and customizing our views).
Putting the times on each event and allowing them to therefore occupy more vertical space should be achievable – but it’s not something we’re going to be able to guide you through here on the forum, unfortunately.
I’m sorry we can’t help further on this one – but as I hope you appreciate some customizations, simple though they may seem on the surface, are ultimately too involved for us to assist with and still be able to deliver a fair and timely service to all of our customers.
With that in mind I will close this thread, but I do hope you either find a way of doing this or find you can switch to an alternative view.
Thanks once again for getting in touch.
Hi there!
Indeed we did notice the type error (see my note from Nov 10), but I don’t believe at this stage that the problem is our plugin itself – particularly as you noted the issue is resolved when you deactivate pixgridder pro.
Are you able to continue without that particular plugin/use an alternative?
Glad you got there (and thanks also for sharing the notes – they could definitely be helpful for others in a similar spot in the future).
Thanks again!
My pleasure 🙂
I’ll go ahead and close the thread since it sounds like you’re all sorted – but please don’t hesitate to create new threads as required if we can assist with anything else.
Last but not least, we are always keen to hear about your experiences with The Events Calendar in general and if you’d like to leave any notes on our plugin review page we’d love to hear from you.
Thanks again!
OK, I see what you’re saying there – I’d actually interpreted things as if your XML included the individual child events but it sounds like you are exporting only one event representing the entire chain.
What I’d encourage you to look at here is TribeEventsRecurrenceMeta::saveEvents() (found in events-calendar-pro/lib/tribe-events-recurrence-meta.class.php) which is one of the keys to this process and you might be able to initiate the process by calling that.
At this point I’m going to have to wish you luck and bow out – as before, this is very much customization/custom development territory – but I do hope you reach a working solution with this 🙂
Thanks again!
Hi Andre,
That’s a great point.
Modifying the row height (and consequently the way height is calculated for each event) should certainly be possible … it is however an advanced customization that we cannot assist with at this time, I’m afraid.
Week view is arguably the most technically complex view we currently offer and we appreciate it has a few shortcomings and are actively considering options for revising it.
It’s too early to say what form it will take in the future but, right now, I think it’s fair to say that some views will be a better fit for your particular event data than others and it’s important to enable and make use of the best views that really work for you.
Hi Jill,
I’m sorry you’re experiencing difficulties.
I do see you indicated already having run through our standard troubleshooting steps – am I correct in thinking those did not help or did not allow you to identify any conflicts?
If not, can you try:
- Flushing permalinks (simply visit Settings > Permalinks, no need to change or save anything) and see if that helps
- If it doesn’t help, repeat the standard troubleshooting steps and, once everything except our plugins has been deactivated and you have reverted to a default theme, repeat the flush permalinks step
- Before reactivating everything else, check to see if the submission form is accessible then continue with reactivation, testing for conflicts as you proceed
Does that help at all or get you any closer to figuring out the source of the problem?
