Hi!

With regards to removing the end time first of all, your first stop should be our Themer’s Guide. This explains the process of setting up template overrides which is the easiest way to approach the first problem (of hiding end times).

With that done, please set up a copy of month/single-event.php and look for the following piece of code:

data-tribejson='<?php echo tribe_events_template_data( $post ); ?>

Change this to:

data-tribejson='<?php echo tribe_events_template_data( $post, array( 'endTime' => '' ) ); ?>

Does that help with hiding the end time?

Hi, great questions (and glad you’re loving the plugin)!

I have a couple of URL questions. Is it possible to either remove /category/ from the URL or rename it?

It’s possible, yes. We have a filter named tribe_events_category_rewrite_slug and you can use this to override the default, which is events/category (though it may have been localized depending on your settings).

So my main URL is http://www.site.com/events/calendar instead of http://www.site.com/events. Is it possible to overwrite the events URL slug so it takes an empty string?

Possible, but this might be a little tricky, principally because it needs to be a fairly unique string in order for it to mesh with WordPress’s system of routing requests according to rewrite rules.

Something you could explore (though not officially supported) is Event Rocket. This has an option to make the main events page show on your front page – and so might solve part of the problem, or you could use its code as the basis of your own solution.

Finally, I noticed the calendar does not work with Safari (using 2012 child theme), even on your demo, see for example http://wpshindig.com/event/wordpress-santa-cruz-meetup/2014-03-19/. How could that be fixed?

I’m at a slight disadvantage here as I don’t have access to Safari. I did ask a colleague to take a look and nothing seemed to jump out as obviously broken – can you clarify what the problem is?

Thanks!

Hi!

Can I use the EB plugin to paste in any event ID or does it only work just my own events?

Unless the event is subject to restrictions of some kind this should be possible.

Also please advise what correct ID is as the string looks way different from what I see on the demo.

If it’s someone else’s event it may indeed look a little different, but if you see something like:

http://www.eventbrite.ca/e/title-of-event-123456789012?aff=es2&rank=3&sid=1a23bc4de56f

Then the section of representing the ID is going to be 123456789012 (using my example), so the numerical portion of the slug, in a sense.

Does that help at all?

Hi Andy:

We changed things so that it starts at the same time as the earliest event in a given week and potentially concludes in line with the end of day cutoff setting – does that sound consistent with what you are experiencing or are things still not quite right?

Thanks!

[Barry]

Hi: I’m sorry the update didn’t go smoothly for you. Can you provide some example URLs for me to look at and some guidance as to which titles are missing? On visiting your site, I see event titles in both month and list view.

Thanks!

[Barry]

Hi – I’m sorry you’re having difficulties here but I’m not sure I can replicate this. To be clear though here’s what I tried:

• I visited the submission form for Community Events
• Entered some cursory details and checked a category and a sub-category of that category
• Submitted
• Viewed the category in list view: the event showed up once only

Should those steps have been sufficient to replicate the problem? Can you point me to a live example? Unfortunately I seem unable to access your site using the URL you provided.

[Barry]

That file is not intended to be overrideable, I’m afraid. Can you describe what you are trying to accomplish here? There might be an alternative way of doing it.

[Barry]

OK – can you describe what your file structure looks like and explain how/where it differs?

[Barry]

Hi: I’m sorry you’re encountering difficulties.

I realize you already indicated that you had tried a number of troubleshooting steps, but I’d like to reiterate and expand upon them a little and see if they help with this:

• Please ensure The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO are up-to-date
• Deactivate all other plugins
• If you are using a caching plugin, please follow their instructions on completely disabling it
• Switch to a default, unmodified theme: Twenty Twelve is an excellent choice
• Finally, visit the Permalink Settings admin screen – you need change nothing, though, as just visiting this page refreshes a set of rules stored internally by WordPress

With that done, please confirm if the problem persists. If it solves the problem, reactivate everything one-at-a-time checking every time something is activated to see if the problem has returned.

This is a great way of potentially catching any conflicts.

Let us know how you get on 🙂

Hi – so I can see the problem with your widget. What I notice though is there is no “wrapper” surrounding any of those widgets – my suspicion then is that this is an issue with your theme and the way it registered this sidebar.

Can you confirm if this is still a problem if you flip to a default theme such as Twenty Twelve/Thirteen etc?

Thanks!

[Barry]

Thanks for sharing the fix francedroy.

I’m not quite sure I understand the problem though and we’d love to get a substantive fix in place if there’s a valid bug here – could either of you detail step-by-step what the problem is exactly?

Thanks!

Hi Lars,

I’m sorry to see you’ve hit so many issues – but thank you for reporting them as it’s certainly useful feedback and we’ll quash what we can as quickly as we can 🙂

1. Updating to 3.5 failed: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l60pd290nx0j8vc/Screenshot%202014-03-28%2010.23.46.png

This is entirely possible – but actually is handled by WordPress and its success is contingent on file permissions allowing the update process to run without hindrance. So, regrettably, this one is to a large extent out of our hands and I’m not sure how much we can do here to help on this one.

The best advice if you hit this is to update manually.

2. Not possible to change “Default view”. The dropdown automatically selects the first ticked view from the “Enable event views” list.

I can replicate the same thing: we’ll get this slated for a fix as quickly as we can (do note you should still be able to change the default view – it’s just that the choice doesn’t “stick” within the context of the settings page).

3. Scrolling down in Week View both time and calendar grid disappears:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0kc55uxd9ed1jq5/Screenshot%202014-03-28%2011.20.46.png

Try scrolling up/down here: http://danishmaritimedays.org/events/week/2014-10-06/
Password: testklaus

Hmm, that’s not too good but nor is it something I see locally. Please do open a new thread for this and let us know if it is something that is specific to your theme and we can try to help from there.

4. What happened to the fact that Week and Month view (in 3.5) should automatically move forward in time and show events created i.e. two month ahead instead of sticking with showing “no available events” for the specific realtime week or month?

Can you clarify what you mean here – were you told that this would be included in 3.5 in a different thread?

5. Besides the Calendar title columns being way to high and dates not vertical centered: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d9a92ni2h75w7p9/Screenshot%202014-03-28%2016.40.08.png
the height of the dark grey columns expands when resizing browser window: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkwnfkvrb5xzaie/Screenshot%202014-03-28%2016.43.36.png and expands even further when upsizing the browser window again.

I can certainly replicate the second half of this where resizing the window alters the height of that row: I’ll get this logged and we’ll try to address it as quickly as we can.

6. There’s also a bug in the date link i.e. “/events/2014-10-06/” causing 404 error.

That’s definitely annoying and curious it cropped up with the latest release – though again this is one I cannot replicate locally. Please do create a new thread for this and we’ll do our best to help.

Thanks again for taking the time to report these issues.

Hi: are you finding you can’t add additional stock by editing the ticket and incrementing the stock value?

[Barry]

Hi: I’m sorry you are hitting problems. Can you point me to a specific example? I’d love to help but it would be faster if you could highlight a day where there are more than 3 events. Thanks!

[Barry]

Definitely strange – I’m not sure quite why that would happen.

It looks though like the main theme stylesheet (church-events/cache/all.css) is not being pulled in to those event pages. The first thing to try here would be switching to a default theme like Twenty Twelve: do the event pages look well formatted then?
