For sure 🙂

Hmm, very strange.

We’re not doing anything special there – it’s really just a standard WordPress list table – so I’m unsure why it would be dragging so much in terms of performance.

Do you have any other plugins installed and activated and can you (tempoarily) try deactivating any that are not by Modern Tribe and additionally switch to a default, unmodified theme – does that improve things at all?

Can I also ask if you have a comparable number of posts or events, and if the admin-side lists for those post types is equally slow?

Thanks!

That is indeed the correct location to alter the unit of measure and map view distance limit. I was just clarifying in case I misunderstood your previous post.

we want it to go 10-20-50 miles, it could not be bothered.

So normally it will not automatically adjust itself – you’d need to set up a custom filter to change the actual increments. If you feel it should auto-adjust, though, that would definitely be a great feature request to make 🙂

If we change the miles to kilometres in the Distance filter admin settings, it couldn’t be bothered again. Miles remain stubbornly

Unfortunately it looks like you’ve hit upon a bug here: we’ll get this logged for further attention and will update you as soon as we know when a fix will arrive.

Sorry for any inconvenience in the meantime.

[Barry]

Excellent!

I’m sorry it was such a long and frustrating experience – but glad we got there in the end.

Hopefully it’s plain sailing from here on 🙂

[Barry]

Ah, I see – thanks for clarifying.

So that’s going to be slightly tricky especially if the list of events under the map will maintain the ordinary number of just 6 events per page. It’s basically going to involve some custom dev work – but here are a few pointers:

• The pinmarker data is contained in the markers element of an array, which you can filter using tribe_events_ajax_response
• Left to its own devices, Event Calendar PRO generates markers for each of the events in the list and you can see the code in TribeEventsGeoLoc::generate_markers() – you could use this as a template for your own approach, but populate the list of markers with a greater number of events than happens by default

I hope that helps – and good luck 🙂

OK. Are you comfortable editing wp-config.php? If you change:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );

To:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

And re-test do you see any error messages and can you share them here if so? It might provide some extra insights. Also, can I ask you if this happens only with The Events Calendar activated – or does it occur when you subsequently activate Events Calendar PRO?

Thanks!

So is there a way to sell recurring tickets? If not that is a pretty big deal breaker! … but if purchasing tickets for recurring events is not available then I can not use them on future projects, and will be looking for a refund.

I’m sorry to hear that, but as before this is not currently supported. You can certainly request a refund and to do so please simply email the team at pro (at) tri (dot) be and include a copy of your purchase receipt and please also link to this thread to provide some context.

Now that I have created individual tickets for the recurring events they no longer show in the admin section of the website.

I’m sorry you’re hitting further difficulties here. Can you clarify the steps you followed for each event? Did you for instance edit single and break each out of its chain of events that way, and then add new tickets? If so can you confirm the point at which the events disappear from the admin view?

 

[Barry]

OK, so I just want to clarify things as I’m worried that I am misunderstanding you. This is what I’m guessing you are referring to when you speak of the banner – is that correct?

If so, it seems you have disabled this (via Events → Settings → Display → Disable the Event Search Bar) and instead you should see what’s sometimes called the classic header.

However, the custom rules do appear to be conflicting here and telling my browser not to load the inline custom CSS rules appears to resolve it (your rule re the .tribe-bar-date-filter element being particularly relevant here).

Does that clarify things – am I misunderstanding and you are actually referring to something else?

[Barry]

OK – so something else must have happened – renaming the custom template folder in itself wouldn’t cause this.

Might this problem be related to some other work you’ve been doing? We’d be happy to try and help further, but as this is really a new and quite separate problem than the one you originally posted (which was a customization relating to the view selector) I’d ask that you create a new thread for this issue.

Thanks!

[Barry]

OK … I’m still not sure why you can’t use the sort of pattern I described in my last reply – but ultimately I’m afraid for customizations like this you’re really going to have to find your own way forward.

You can pull out custom field data and use it within the href attribute of a link – as I demonstrated – and that can in turn wrap around other elements, but you’d really need to take that idea and apply it yourself to this particular scenario.

Since we can’t really help too much more on this one I’ll go ahead and close the thread, but I do hope you figure things out.

Good luck 🙂

[Barry]

Definitely feel free to share and even submit a pull request if you get that far 🙂 … even if it isn’t something that the team feels is suitable for inclusion in the core plugin it could definitely be handy for other users out there to see an alternative implementation.

Could you just clarify one thing for me? Wondering if my assumptions are correct about the categories thing? i.e. the function isn’t differentiating between cat->subcat1 and cat->subcat2. I’m not quite sure how the parent categories thing works really.

What basically happens is a simple taxonomy query is used based on the categories the source event is already assigned to. Resting on WP defaults as it does, this means child categories will be included – but it doesn’t look back up the tree of categories, if that makes sense, and I’m not sure it would always make sense for it to do so.

Does that answer your question here/am I misunderstanding at all?

[Barry]

Excellent!

I’ll go ahead and close the thread. Of course, if we can assist with anything else please don’t hesitate to open a new thread (or threads) and one of the team will be only too happy to help 🙂

Last but not least, we’d love to hear your thoughts on The Events Calendar so far and if you had time to post a review that would be excellent.

[Barry]

Definitely – and though I’ll close this thread for the time being we’ll aim to re-open and post an update once we’ve got more info to share re a fix going out.

Thanks again for your support and patience 🙂

[Barry]

That’s unfortunate (re the countdown widget) but does tie into a known issue – the best thing here, if possible, is to live without it – by disabling it as you have done – and we’ll have a think about how we might improve efficiency in this area.

Also, how do we update recurring events in the future, after the 12 months is up? Do we edit each event and set new end dates?

If you have an event that recurs forever (or far into the future) and have configured things so that the actual instances are only generated 12 months in advance then you need do nothing more 🙂

Subsequent events will be generated on a rolling basis as time goes by, so that you continually have an “envelope” of recurring events running back 3 months from the current date and continuing for 12 months into the future (there may be some slight disparity here depending on when you look at your set of events and when the clean up and generation tasks run, but broadly speaking this should hold true).

Does that clarify things?

[Barry]

Great 🙂
