Hi efromdc,

So given what you’re describing the closest we’ve got at this time is:

_EventHideFromUpcoming

Which can be set to yes to indicate that an event should be hidden from event listings. This correlates directly to the Hide From Event Listings setting that can be found within the event editor itself. It’s important to be aware of a couple of things if you choose to follow this approach, though:

• It will not cause events to be hidden within day view (this is a current bug)
• Events can be found via the main WP search but will remain hidden if the search is conducted via one of the event pages (for example – if a visitor views whatever month your hidden event takes place in, and types in a pertinent search term, it will not display)

The first of those is a bug as noted – but the second is intentional behaviour.

I hope that helps!

[Barry]

No problem at all 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this topic but if we can assist with anything else please do feel free to post new ones as needed and one of the team will be happy to help.

Also, if you have a moment to spare, we’d love to hear your thoughts on The Events Calendar over on our review page – thanks again!

So it seems we’re at a dead-end, we cannot use this plugin because we’re on a shared server, which seems odd given most websites also use shared hosting.

In terms of who your “neighbours” are it’s something of a lucky draw when it comes to shared hosting. In the short term, perhaps your host could migrate your site to a different physical box and so open the possibility that you will be housed alongside sites that make low or no use of Google’s API.

That’s obviously not ideal and potentially is a hit-and-miss type of solution so another option – though I’m not sure what your budget is – is a VPS.

VPSs complete with a unique IP address are fairly economical these days (offering some of the advantages of a dedicated server without the drawbacks of traditional shared hosting accounts) and might offer you an alternative to the expense of a true dedicated server if you are unable to set up an API key of your own for Google Maps.

Might that be worth exploring?

OK, so about the 20th most popular (on UserVoice) by the looks of things – so not unpopular by any means, you’re quite right – and I have also noted in our internal tracker that you took the time to request this again in person here on the forum which certainly shows you feel strongly about it.

That said, I still am unable to offer you a timeline or even an estimated timeline: as yet the work hasn’t been scheduled for any upcoming releases and until that happens we simply can’t offer any guarantees.

As before, definitely do continue to monitor our product news stream and if this is implemented we’ll certainly post something there 🙂

Thanks again!

[Barry]

Fantastic!

I’ll go ahead and close this topic, but if we can help with anything else please do feel free to open new ones as needed. Thanks again!

[Barry]

Interesting.

Is it possible to switch to an alternative social bookmarking plugin?

[Barry]

Ah, ok. Thanks for highlighting it.

So I see some code in the theme’s page.php template looking like this:

<div class="titleContainer font1 titlePage<?php if (!is_active_sidebar($sidebar_choice)) echo ' titleBordered'; ?>">
    <div class="title">
        <?php the_title(); ?>
    </div>
</div>

Unfortunately something is getting caught up with some of our own logic used to deliver event pages via the Default Page Template. Changing the above to something like this (I’m only illustrating the three problem cases here but it should give the general idea) seems to work:

<div class="titleContainer font1 titlePage<?php if (!is_active_sidebar($sidebar_choice)) echo ' titleBordered'; ?>">
    <div class="title">
		<?php
		$event_post = 2 === count( $wp_query->posts ) ? $wp_query->posts[0] : false;
		$event_id = $event_post->ID;

		if ( $event_id && tribe_is_event( $event_id ) && is_single() )
			echo 'Single event!';

		elseif ( $event_id && tribe_is_venue( $event_id ) && is_single() )
			echo 'Single venue!';

		elseif ( $event_id && tribe_is_organizer( $event_id ) && is_single() )
			echo 'Single organizer!';

		else the_title();
		?>
    </div>
</div>

Can you give that a blast and see if it helps?

Hi!

Try changing the action from:

tribe_events_community_before_the_event_image

To:

tribe_events_community_before_the_featured_image

Does that help?

[Barry]

Awesome!

Hi – glad you like the plugin! – and sorry you’re hitting difficulties.

What you are describing definitely shouldn’t be happening and I wonder if it’s possible that another component is conflicting. Would it be possible for you to:

• Ensure The Events Calendar and Community Events are up-to-date
• Deactivate all other plugins
• Switch from your theme to a default, unmodified theme such as a fresh copy of Twenty Thirteen
• Test and see if the same problem remains

(Please also visit your Community Events settings tab and re-save the page, even if you don’t need to change anything.)

Assuming this solves the problem, start reactivating everything and test at each stage to see if the problem has returned – this might help us to “zero in” on the conflict, if there is one.

Let me know how you get on!

Hi Marcel,

It’s possible to customise the events features for pages like this :
http://www.fotoii.com/event/deposit/

All sorts of customizations are possible, yes – a great starting point here would be our Themer’s Guide which runs through the basics of safely overriding and customizing our templates 🙂

Further we need a flag for every event. We’re developing an app which we will show current and upcoming events on the app. For that we need to distinguish events how will be shown in the apps and not. The flag must be setup for venues.

OK – but I’m not really clear on what this flag is intended to indicate, can you clarify? It certainly sounds like it might be possible for you to take advantage of WordPress’s post meta API.

Does that help, or can you provide some more detail about what you are trying to achieve if not?

Thanks!

[Barry]

OK, sorry if I misunderstood.

I downloaded a copy of Tesla and switched to using the Default Page Template and couldn’t immediately see a problem here though – without any snippets whatsoever I see nice and presentable titles.

Could any other customizations (or even plugins) be impacting?

[Barry]

Definitely – let’s leave this topic open in that case and feel free to update as and when you’re ready 🙂

[Barry]

Hi!

Do you wish to hide this event from all views – and could you simply change its status from published to draft if so?

Let me know if that helps 🙂

[Barry]

Hi!

It’s not something we’re planning on hitting in the current release cycle, I’m afraid, and I can’t really give any guarantees as to when or if this might be slotted in just yet.

As Leah described in the other thread you created we’ve got this logged on our issue tracker so we don’t lose sight of it – but it doesn’t look like something that there is a large amount of demand for just yet and while that’s not the only factor we consider it’s certainly an important one.

If we do add this it’s certainly not something we’d keep quiet, so please do stay tuned to our products news stream 🙂

Thanks!
