Sorry first of all that you’ve been hitting such performance issues, hdmadedev. That’s not what we want to hear and please do note (and relay to your client) that performance is also a concern for us and very much something we wish to improve so far as is practicable.

Month view in particular (which would encompass the calendar widget to an extent) is definitely something we have been and continue to work on – and you can expect to see incremental improvements over time as the plugin develops.

With that said, it would be most helpful if you could fill in some of the blanks: how many events are typically taking place per month on your clients site – and what proportion approximately might be recurring events? What sort of environment is being used to host the site – and what levels of traffic is it receiving?

The query you referenced could certainly be optimized, but even so we’d certainly take on any specific feedback and criticism: can you clarify what aspects or particular operations/clauses lead you to describe it as “ridiculous”?

Hi Emmanuelle – there is unfortunately a known bug here that we hope to address shortly. Right now though if you familiarize yourself with the Themer’s Guide you can workaround this as follows:

1. Set up a custom single-event.php template (ie, in your-theme/tribe-events/single-event.php) and base this on the original in the-events-calendar/views/single-event.php.

2. Locate the following line of code:

<?php if( get_post_type() == TribeEvents::POSTTYPE && tribe_get_option( 'showComments','no' ) == 'yes' ) { comments_template(); } ?>

3. Try changing this to:

<?php if( get_post_type() == TribeEvents::POSTTYPE && tribe_get_option( 'showComments', false ) ) { comments_template(); } ?>

Does that help at all?

Hi Oliver: yes I can replicate that. It may even be related to a similar bug we already have on the tracker – we’ll certainly log this and address it as quickly as we can.

[Barry]

Disabling all other plugins and switching to a default, unmodified theme is definitely worthwhile here. Please go ahead and let me know if you still see the same thing under those conditions.

[Barry]

No that wouldn’t be a quick fix, it would be fairly involved. I’d recommend posting it as a feature request along with your comments about a possible strategy for handling the individual merges 🙂

I don’t think there’s too much more we can provide here at this point – please do post a feature request though and if you have any other questions certainly feel free to create a new thread or threads as required and one of the team will be happy to help if they can.

Thanks!

[Barry]

That looks like it should do the trick Eric – so long as you are using a date format like yyyy-mm-dd and increment the end date parameter so it is one day ahead of your desired end date.

[Barry]

Hi Oliver, it’s in The Events Calendar’s views/single-event.php template (so any custom override would go in your theme’s tribe-events/single-event.php file).

Look for the section marked:

<!-- Event header -->

You could remove all or some of this section depending on what works best for you. Does that help?

[Barry]

Excellent, thanks Bastien. I’ll go ahead and close this thread as I don’t think there is much else we can offer at this point in time, but of course if you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to create a new thread or threads as needed.

Thanks!

[Barry]

Excellent, thanks for the update – sounds like you’ve got a plan to move forward, then – I’ll go ahead and close this thread.

[Barry]

can you give me a link to what the new replacement code should be for the widget.

Based on what you’ve told me it sounds like the problem only exists when you attempt that customization. Beyond what is in the existing tutorial there isn’t really anything else I can give you – and if that isn’t working for you then, again, all I can really suggest is that you don’t use it.

If you are referring to the bug fixes I alluded to that relate to the calendar widget I’m afraid you’ll need to wait until the next release arrives, we don’t have a single snippet we can provide that would implement all of the same changes (and I’m not sure that is the actual problem here, either).

Also, can you tell me what I would need to add to that customization in order to remove the date from being written with each list item, (since it is already shown with the more graphic display.).

As always please follow the guidance in the Themer’s Guide. Basically though, to remove the dates from each list item in the calendar widget, you would override and customize the following template:

pro/widgets/mini-calendar/single-event.php

Look out for the div beginning with the following line:

<div class="list-date">

And try removing the entire div (which contains the span.list-dayname and span.list-daynumber elements).

And, yes, I guess I’d like a list of contract developers, although what I’d really like is a place I could go where people would share the customizations they had made.

We welcome postings from people sharing their customizations and other solutions, but unfortunately there is not a single consolidated venue for that sort of thing. In terms of independent developers, in no particular order you could consider contacting:

• WerkPress (http://www.werkpress.com) – customization based projects with minimums of $500-$800
• Chris Miller (http://launchbrigade.com) – $125 consultation required before providing an estimate
• Nick Ciske (http://thoughtrefinery.com/) – minimum fee depends on project type

If you need a cheaper solution, you might check out some of these listings:

• http://freelanceswitch.com
• http://directory.codepoet.com/browse/
• http://jobs.wordpress.net/

Good luck! I’ll close this thread now, but if there’s anything else we might be able to help with please do go ahead and create a new thread or threads as needed 🙂

[Barry]

Fantastic 🙂

[Barry]

We’d be happy to help with your question regarding comments, but please create a new thread for that. Thanks!

[Barry]

Just to clarify, Charlie, Brook mentioned you were already pursuing a question relating to map view here:

TEC Pro : Map View showing only one recurring event

Is that basically the same issue?

[Barry]

Hi Emmanuelle,

Sorry to hear you’ve been hitting up against these issues.

when i active the view map, the category of events (selected by menu) doesn’t work : i see other categorie’s events (exemple “exposition”)

Unfortunately the current release contains a bug that may cause this. Our next maintenance release should arrive in the near future though and ought to resolve this.

I don’t find the “event.css” (located in the plugin’s /resources directory), i found other .css (event.theme.full.min.css for exemple) : the tutorial doesn’ help me

I’m not sure what you are trying to do, but if you want to add custom CSS rules in relation to The Events Calendar you should create a file called tribe-events.css and position it within a tribe-events directory inside your theme. Example:

wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/tribe-events/tribe-events.css

Then place any custom CSS in there. Does that help?

[Barry]

Hi Hugues,

I’m not quite sure what you are describing. It would be awesome if I could view a live example of the problem – unfortunately the URL you provided when you opened this thread doesn’t seem to be valid.

Could you post a new link (and share it as a private reply if you prefer) so I can see the problem?

Thanks!
