The pknvelp,

There are a few places where we enforce time formats like “4pm” and we do appreciate that isn’t ideal. However, our next release should largely address this and even where it isn’t possible to directly inherit from the WordPress time format setting we will offer filters to make it easier to localize the display of dates and times.

Until then you would need to customize the calendar output to resolve this, I’m afraid.

Hi Steve,

We’d love to help further with this but its really a customization that you would need to drive forward by yourself: we could certainly provide a list of freelancers/independent developers that might be able to assist you, though, if that would help?

[Barry]

That is strange.

Could any other plugins be impacting (have you tried deactivating them) and does this only happen with your theme of choice, rather than with an unmodified copy of Twenty Twelve for instance?

Thanks!

[Barry]

Hi Erin: in terms of loading the first (upcoming) date of an event in a recurring series you could probably do this quite simply with tribe_get_start_date() and explicitly pass in the post ID for the event.

In terms of grabbing the numeric portion of the post-xxxx class and using it to populate some other element/attribute I’m sure that’s possible whether server-side or by Javascript, but it’s the sort of customization we can’t unfortunately help too much with.

[Barry]

Hi Ilona,

We can’t help too much with this kind of customization, I’m afraid. So long as you load venue data for each event though you should be able to do this, whether you build up the information with a set of separate queries or consolidate this into a single query.

The relevant post meta key for the venues here is going to be _VenueCity.

Good luck!

[Barry]

Unfortunately I don’t have quite enough information here to give you a solution you can just drop in place … and this is really a customization which, though we’re happy to offer some pointers, is something you’d need to drive forward by yourself or with the assistance of a developer if necessary.

With that in mind I’ll close this thread – but there are plenty of fantastic resources out there to learn the basics of if/then/else etc.

Thanks – and good luck!

[Barry]

I’m not at all sure why that would happen. Have you any settings enabled, such as the include events in main blog loop, that might impact on the front page and have you tried toggling them on/off?

[Barry]

Can you clarify if you mean a custom field (since I don’t believe there is actually an event specific email field) or else a different built-in field, such as the event website?

[Barry]

OK, so another possibility at this point is checking in with MapPress’s support team and seeing if they have any ideas as to the cause; right now though this is really looking like an integration issue between the two plugins that you, or the developer handling the integration (if you are using a developer), would need to solve.

With that said, if it does turn out there is some sort of malpractice or something we could do better in our code to ease integration definitely let us know and we’ll happily look into making a change.

Hi Polly,

If you mean the code in my November 22nd post it’s basically an extension of Ulli’s idea, so you’d need to customize one of the templates – pro/widgets/mini-calendar-widget.php in this case.

In terms of freelancers, in no particular order you might 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:

Hopefully the above will help you find someone to work on your site. Good luck!

[Barry]

We could definitely do with tightening up the comments in those templates and indeed the themer’s guide – thanks for that feedback. That said, I think we’ve crossed wires here a little, though. Let me try to clarify:

* If you wish to edit the display of single events within day view, you should copy Event Calendar Pro’s views/pro/day/single-event.php template and locate your overriding version at tribe-events/pro/day/single-event.php

* Removing venue information should be as simple as removing the whole of the block beginning if ( $venue_details ) : in that same template

If you are experiencing something else it might be a residual issue from an earlier release (looking at the URL you shared when you opened this thread, you seem to be using version 3.1 of both plugins even though you stated you are using 3.2 – so please do check on that).

I hope that helps!

[Barry]

Ulli’s workaround is sound (thanks for sharing, Ulli!) however if you wish to use other instances of the widget where events should be shown elsewhere on your site it would be better to change:

<?php tribe_get_template_part( 'pro/widgets/mini-calendar/list' ) ?>

To:

<?php if ( 0 < $args['count'] ) tribe_get_template_part( 'pro/widgets/mini-calendar/list' ) ?>

This will allow the event count to be 0 or higher.

[Barry]

Hi Oliver, Uli and Polly:

Apologies first and foremost for not recognising the issue initially, which was due to some differences between my testing environment and your respective environments (it also is impacted by where you happen to view the widget).

We’ll definitely address this as quickly as we can.

[Barry]

This is definitely a frustrating issue.

Right at this time, however, I don’t think there is anything else we can do to help you. The majority of our users experience no such thing and even the thread you linked to – which certainly relates to query performance – misses this distinct feature of requiring a new database user to be specified in order to work around hosting limitations after each event is published.

Though we do have plans to make improvements, as outlined in my last response, if there was a general problem here I think we would see a far greater number of reports: not to say it isn’t an important issue (particularly so for you) but just that it only seems to crop up in a limited number of cases.

If a move to a different hosting plan with your current or some other provider is a possibility then I’d encourage you to investigate that course of action.

[Barry]

OK, I see you are on a multisite network there: I wonder if that is relevant … bear with us and I’ll explore that possibility.
