Template overrides!

Whether your theme is a likely to be subject to updates from an external source of not (such as if you bought one or sourced one from wordpress.org and will be keeping it updated) will dictate where exactly you place the overrides – you might place them in a child theme for instance – but in general, that’s the way to go.

Please see: Themer’s Guide.

I hope that helps!

Hi! You could try adding a snippet like the following to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'tribe_event_meta_event_website', 'change_website_meta_title' );

function change_website_meta_title( $html ) {
	return str_replace( 'Website', 'Custom term', $html );
}

Does that help?

It looked (and I could have easily been mistkaen 😉 ) like you were building a sort of replacement list view, I just wondered if you could use the existing list view and customize from there. In terms of setting the loop up, the WP Codex shows how you can pull posts in a more conventional style. I’m afraid though since this is really the domain of custom development we can’t offer too much more help with this.

Hi John,

Let me try to answer some of the key questions you’ve raised in turn.

Is it possible that I have stretched the plugin too far. I now have over 1,800 events in the database.

I don’t think that that sort of volume of events is a red flag as such: we regularly run tests with very high volumes of events and I just don’t see a link between this number and the principal problem you described when you opened this thread.

I am also concerned that something is happening to the database that might corrupt it. The data seems to be getting scrambled or eliminated or is not showing up where it should.

It’s difficult to answer that and I’m assuming there are other factors leading you to think this besides the initially reported problem with venue/organizer names.

Corruption is a loaded term and I’m unsure if you mean that the data within the database is becoming corrupted or if the database itself is becoming corrupted (which would be far more serious, though it is often possible to recover from such a situation). If you want to discuss this further I’d ask you break it out into a separate thread and highlight anything (like instances of data being scrambled) that has led you to this conclusion.

Can you tell me why exactly that you and your company are not willing to come in and look at the plugin ecosystem on my site to do the troubleshooting?

We’d love to help further if we could, but we have to be realistic about how much time we can spend troubleshooting a problem that we’ve been unable to identify as a general bug in our code and that even you cannot replicate outside of this one installation. We have already spent a considerable amount of time on this issue and have worked hard to reproduce and isolate this – but our resources are, unfortunately, not without limit.

Hands-on troubleshooting by a developer with access to your site may well uncover the source of this issue, but I’m afraid that’s just not a level of service we can provide for you.

I’m sorry we can’t offer you more on this occasion.

OK: I’m not sure that will help (though it really depends on what you are planning here).

If you have already enabled appropriate caching as best you can in that environment and are still facing problems then I think it may simply be the case that there isn’t enough “grunt” power available in that hosting configuration to accommodate your needs and the needs of the application itself.

Hi John,

We’re definitely willing to investigate this further. I can’t promise anything will happen in the short-term simply due to our existing workload, but it’s great to hear the team behind Headway are open to being approached and we can follow up as necessary from here.

Thanks again!

Sure: we don’t have much of our own documentation on hooks and filters at a general level because this is something WordPress provides and is fairly well covered in their own documentation:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks

The general form for something like this though would be:

add_filter( 'tribe_events_before_html', 'add_text_before_events' );

function add_text_before_events( $html ) {
	// Change the conditional criteria to something meaningful if you only want
	// to add text/HTML under certain circumstances
	$condition = true;

	// You could prepend, append or replace entirely the HTML that displays
	if ( $condition ) $html = '<p> My HTML </p>' . $html;
	return $html;
}

I hope that helps!

I wouldn’t mind to download/upload those Facebook pictures while waiting for a fix. But I would mind having to enter all other details for each event.

OK – that is probably the best approach – I’m not quite sure what you mean by having to enter all other details – are you finding you are unable to change only the featured image for some reason?
