Hi! While we can’t offer any guarantees or an ETA as such we are literally in the final stages of preparing this release so it shouldn’t be too long (hopefully, a matter of days).

Thanks!

[Barry]

That would do it – glad you got things working 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but if we can help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Also, if you have a moment and wished to leave a review we’d love to hear from you!

Thanks!

Hi!

Instead of using that function, can you try adding the following to your wp-config.php file?

define( 'TRIBE_MODIFY_GLOBAL_TITLE', true );

Does that help?

[Barry]

Hmm, puzzling. Here’s what I tried locally – can you confirm if I should be able to replicate using these steps?

• Created a set of recurring events running July 1 daily until July 4
• Edited the July 1 event via the Edit Single link
• Was presented with a warning that it would be split off and clicked ok
• Within the editor it did not indicate that I was editing a recurring event and all worked as expected

Is there anything I’d have to do differently to see what you described?

Thanks!

Hi – sorry to hear you are hitting difficulties.

We do try to stick to one issue per thread, though, so if you could post any additional issues in new threads (such as problems with the tooltips) that would be appreciated and one of the team will help as soon as they are able.

There is an event schedule weekly for every Friday that also shows up on Saturday.

Something has certainly gone amiss. When I view all events for that series I can see that – for some reason – starting with the March 15 event the end time is on the following day. I’m not sure how or why this would come about, but would it be feasible to delete that chain of events and set up a new recurring event in its place and see if that resolves this particular problem?

[Barry]

Hi Cara – great question!

Those plugins certainly can be used in conjunction with one another 🙂

What we want is to have registered event organizers be able to: create events with tickets, only see their own events on the back end, and have access to their attendees and check-in/out capabilities.

Combined together our plugins would certainly get you 95% of the way – organizers can submit events (via Community Events) and can view their events and their events only – but not in the backend, rather via a list made available by Community Events on the front end.

WooCommerce Tickets provides check in capabilities and an attendee list, however these are only exposed in the admin environment. So, in this case, you’d need to do some customization work to glue them together in the way you want but it’s far from impossible with a little creativity and dev know-how 🙂

The other question I have is about the ability to charge sales tax and/or other fees (without the ability for the event creator to change them). Would this be handled by woocommerce?

Exactly – and WooCommerce does have fairly comprehensive facilities in this regard, but it would be best to check in with them on that front if you need more details.

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

Hi Ryan!

The magic starts within TribeCommunityEvents::doEventForm() and if you follow the train of logic you will see that the submitted post data is scrubbed clean as a security measure:

$scrubber = new TribeCommunityEvents_SubmissionScrubber($submission);
$_POST = $scrubber->scrub();

To avoid fields from your own module being scrubbed out you may then wish to work with the tribe_events_community_allowed_event_fields filter.

The usual actions such as save_post will ultimately also fire when the event is created and you could effectively piggy back on this process. The rest is up to you – good luck 🙂

[Barry]

Hi – that’s right, by default it will not show more than 3 events per day in month view (otherwise a day with 40 events could distort the calendar if most other days only have a handful of events).

This is completely customizable however – simply visit the Events → Settings → Display admin screen and look for the month view events per day setting then adjust to 4 (or whatever number works for you).

Does that help?

[Barry]

Hi – sorry you’re facing difficulties here.

With regards to paging first of all, I find there is no issue here using Firefox and moving from month to month on your …/events/month page. Can you confirm this is still an issue for you?

[Barry]

Hi!

Please do check out our Themer’s Guide which covers the basics of safely overriding and customizing plugin templates.

In this case you will probably be interested in editing a number of the community/modules templates. For instance you might edit the community/modules/organizer.php template and change the logic at the top which checks for defaults.

You could even (if you wanted to) “blank out” this template and force the organizer fields to something completely different by using various action hooks to listen out for new submissions and then edit the generated post objects appropriately – tribe_ce_before_event_submission_page, save_post, save_post_tribe_organizer and similar hooks could all be helpful here.

I hope that helps – and good luck 🙂

Hi Courtney,

Thanks for your interest!

The server is on an old Windows server.

Both The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO can and do run successfully on Windows servers.

Our experience has been that difficulties are perhaps more likely to arise if you are serving websites using IIS 6 (which at this point is fairly old) and, historically, there have indeed been problems where the “index.php/slug” form of URLs are used. If you are unsure which version of IIS you are using – or even if you are using IIS at all – it may be worth checking in with your web host and asking them that question (and indeed asking if it is possible to update).

This site does, unfortunately, live in a subfolder. If you think this is the problem, is there any workaround?

If WordPress is installed within a subdirectory that should not present any problems for The Events Calendar 🙂

The previous developer built the site on the Alyeska theme (http://themeforest.net/item/alyeska-responsive-wordpress-theme/164366). Do you have any known incompatibilities with this or other themes?

I don’t know of any specific incompatibilities with that theme – but checking things out with the free, core plugin as you are doing is a great way to test things out in itself.

I hope that answers your questions – and thanks again for giving The Events Calendar a whirl 🙂

[Barry]

That’s exactly what should be happening. So long as the events are published it should not matter whether they were created by authenticated users or unauthenticated (anonymous) users.

For one of the events that are not showing up, can you confirm that it has definitely been published?

[Barry]

Hi!

Sorry for the delayed response – just as a tip for the future though it is best not to bump threads. It’s admittedly a limitation of our support system but doing so makes the thread appear fresher than it really is (and, unfortunately, that may have meant other threads were addressed before this one as they seemed older).

To the problem at hand, have you tried changing the Default Template setting via the Events > Settings > Display admin screen? That may help. However, historically there have been a number of problems in terms of integrating with Headway and – though its completely possible as we’ve seen examples in the “wild” where both are used together – it’s not a theme we can offer support for simply because it has a fairly unique structure by comparison with other themes that makes it a little harder for us to dive into its inner workings.

[Barry]

Hi!

You can definitely allow anonymous users to submit events – the checkbox for this setting lives at Events → Settings → Community → Allow Anonymous Submissions. On the same admin screen you can change the default status for submissions to Pending Draft.

What you cannot currently do is configure a different status for anonymous submissions as compared to submissions by logged in users (not without a little customization work at least).

This would certainly make for a good feature request, though, if you wished to post one 🙂

[Barry]

Hi – sorry to hear you hit difficulties (but great you worked around them 🙂 ).

There is definitely a problem where all but one event in a series is trashed and I’ve logged it for further attention. If this does crop up in the future, you might find it easier to hit Edit Single on the last remaining event which will break it out of the chain of events (and so it should no longer appear as recurring on the frontend).

That said, I definitely get your point that it makes no sense to display a “Recurring Event (See All)” message in this scenario and hopefully we’ll be able to do something about that shortly.

Please note though that our very next maintenance release is literally in the final stages of preparation so we will probably be unable to squeeze a fix for this problem into the same release – but we’ll certainly look at it shortly thereafter.

Thanks for reporting this 🙂
