Hi planbtrading,

That would certainly be frustrating.

It’s not something we generally see reports of, so I wonder if PHP or WordPress aren’t configured with a high enough memory limit – or even if those settings are sufficiently high but the server itself is running out of memory to allocate?

Am I understanding you correctly insofar as you can get it to work if you reduce the total number of plugins that are running (but it doesn’t particularly matter which)?

Hi templeton,

We can certainly try to help a little futher here 🙂

There are a couple of filters which are relevant and they are documented here – but I appreciate it probably isn’t the very clearest explanation. If it helps, let me know what sort of format you are trying to achieve (and what your WP date / time formats are currently set to) and I’ll see if I can steer you in the right direction.

Thanks!

Hi shingletown,

I’m not sure I can identify the problem, can you link me directly so I can see this or confirm if you have since resolved the issue?

Thanks!

[Barry]

I’ll close this for the time being but we’ll certainly re-open and post an update when we have something to report. Thanks!

Sorry Adam, but again I’d emphasize we can’t help with advanced customizations like this one. You would need to dig into the code and figure things out that way – though we could certainly provide a list of suitable independent devs and freelancers who could assist if you need additional support on this one?

[Barry]

Just to follow up, we have been working hard to ensure there is an easier means of changing time/date formats like this one – but this particular case seems to have been missed, however we will certainly try to introduce a change that makes this easier going forward.

Hope that helps!

Oh I see. Right now you could override and customize the pro/day/loop.php template and locate this line:

<h5><?php echo $current_timeslot; ?></h5>

Then change it to:

<h5><?php
if ( false !== ( $meridiem = strpos( $current_timeslot, 'am' ) ) )
echo substr( $current_timeslot, 0, $meridiem ) . 'hr';

elseif ( false !== ( $meridiem = strpos( $current_timeslot, 'pm' ) ) )
echo ( 12 + (int) substr( $current_timeslot, 0, $meridiem ) ) . 'hr';
?></h5>

Hi B,

So you’d probably need to make a few tweaks to your theme to get rid of those items you don’t want. While we can’t guide you through that line-by-line or anything we do have conditionals like tribe_is_event_category() which would be useful here (to differentiate between regular WordPress categories, where you might want to keep your theme’s labelling etc and event categories where you do not, etc).

can I create my own page and use a short code?

We don’t have any shortcodes that would help out here I’m afraid, but this is a popular feature request and I’d encourage you to add your own voice to any existing requests for this over on UserVoice.

Hope that helps!

That’s right, it should simply override the setting and replace it with the value specified in the snippet, in this case 15:

$instance['limit'] = 15;

 

[Barry]

Hi! Just to clarify, you mean like in my example below?

[Barry]

Hi! You could try dropping a snippet like this one into your theme’s functions.php file. Does that help here?

[Barry]

Hi kosovichmedia, sorry for any confusion: let me see if I can clarify.

What is basically being defined is a rolling period which is centred on today’s date. So an event that recurs ‘forever’ will not actually have any events generated more than 24 months into the future (and this is primarily a database-saving feature). You need take no action to maintain this state of affairs, however – as the days roll by so will more instances of the event automatically be generated to ensure there are always 24 months worth of future events.

The flip side is the clean up setting, which essentially works in the opposite direction but removes old events (so yes, recurring instances more than 6 months old will be deleted, if 6 months is the value of the relevant setting).

Does that help to explain things better?

[Barry]

Hi Randall,

There’s no terribly easy way to do this (though a few people have mooted the idea of a shortcode to facilitate this – and we’d certainly welcome any remarks in support of this you might make over on our UserVoice page) but it would quite likely hinge on using the regular WordPress API functions to enqueue whichever stylesheets and scripts might be required by the view, plus tribe_get_view() or a related function to actually grab and include the template you want to use.

I hope that gives you some ideas to get started on this – regrettably though its a sufficiently advanced customization that we cannot offer any further help with it at this time.

[Barry]

Hi madsap, thanks for posting 🙂

You can view only events for a specific category by visiting the relevant URL, such as in this example: http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wordpress-meetups/ (generally you can re-use that same pattern to figure out what the URL for a category will be, or else you can view the list of event categories by visiting the Events → Event Categories admin screen and copying the URL provided by the view link under each relevant category).

Does that help here?

@kbarday: please do feel welcome to monitor this thread, but if you need help with something else it would be best to create a new thread of your own – noting that we can probably only offer very general advice for a customization like the one you just outlined.
