Hi rampworx, in that case it is probably better to use the Events List widget – it very much sounds like it meets your needs in all respects except appearance.
For that you could customize it to make it visually closer to the list that displays under the events calendar widget. Please check out our Themer’s Guide for an overview of the basics, however we’d really need to leave the details of a customization like this to you 🙂
Thanks!
Hi infosws, it can be a slightly confusing area (the meta walker) and could be considered an advanced topic with regards to customizing The Events Calendar.
To avoid confusion though, tribe_get_address() is not itself a part of the meta walker and I linked to the guide for the meta walker only because you first asked about using tribe_get_meta_group().
Generally speaking you should never modify core plugin code – keep any changes to template overrides (check out our Themer’s Guide), your theme (or child theme’s) functions.php file or indeed a plugin built for the purpose.
I think in this case building up knowledge of WordPress development in general would be time well spent as many of the idioms in The Events Calendar build on or echo the very same concepts.
I’ll go ahead and close this thread now, but if you have any other questions along the way please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed, bearing in mind that we are a limited in terms of how much support we can provide for customization efforts – and the more specific the question (let us know your end goal, like, I want to add the venue address to a certain view only when … such and such condition is met) the better 🙂
Thanks!
No problem at all Skepchick – and sorry to both of you for the inconvenience.
At this time I’m afraid there isn’t a great deal more we can suggest but, again, we are striving to make changes to improve overall performance and they should start to work their way in to the code base over the next few maintenance releases.
Since unfortunately there’s not much more we can offer here right at this point in time I’ll go ahead and close this thread – but do note that we’ve taken your concerns on board and if there is anything else we can help with please do just create a new thread 🙂
Thanks!
One other question … are you able to confirm if this relates directly to your theme (by switching to Twenty Twelve, for instance) and checking if the problem goes away at that point? We’d still be keen to see if there is a straightforward way of resolving this for your particular theme but it would of course be great to know if targeting the theme is the correct course of action 🙂
There does seem to be an issue with that setting in the current release – but I can see that in our soon-to-be-released update this setting works as expected (and our next maintenance release should arrive shortly). If you can hold tight until that happens that would be fantastic 🙂
Based on what you’re telling me though I’m not entirely sure if that setting, even if it were fully functional, would entirely meets your needs – can you clarify if in list view you wish to hide all recurring events and even hide the first instance from the list – so that there is no trace of recurring events whatsoever in those views?
If that is what you are trying to do I’m afraid The Events Calendar isn’t built to allow this – so you’d have a choice between building your own customization to enforce this new rule and/or we’d be happy to see a feature request for this, if you want to post one at tribe.uservoice.com.
Thanks!
Hi aling,
I’m very sorry for the delay in responding, that shouldn’t have happened and we do strive to answer within a 24hr timeframe through the working week – though we clearly let you down on this occasion.
To answer your question, if you have edited core code (which I think might be what you are referring to, based on a related thread I saw you had created) then yes any such changes would be wiped out.
If that’s the case, do remember that it is always best not to edit core plugin code unless absolutely unavoidable.
Thanks!
Just a side note that any edits to core code run the risk of being overwritten upon an update, but so long as you are aware of that and can accommodate that sort of thing, or indeed are using this as a temporary stop-gap (if you did indeed edit core code) until you arrive at a different solution that should be totally fine.
I’ll close this out for now, as ever feel free to create new threads if you need further support 🙂
If you take a look at the WordPress plugin directory you will probably be able to find quite a few different options – the best fit for you will of course depend on if you intend to use it just for this purpose or have additional uses.
What I’d recommend if you’re unsure is perhaps trying out a few different ones and looking over the user reviews – that’s a great way to find the plugin that’s the best fit for you.
I’ll go ahead and close this thread now.
Thanks again!
Hi Cristiana,
I’m still not absolutely clear if we’re talking about our Facebook Events plugin or some other third party plugin? If it’s the latter I’m afraid there may not be too much that we can do, here.
Can you clarify?
Thanks!
So you want the sidebar on the single event pages only? The actual detail will vary according to whether you are using the Default Events Template, the Default Page Template or some other template for your events.
In principle though if things are set up so that the calendar already shows in full width you could add some code to check if the current request relates to a single event and show the sidebar only then, something like:
if (is_singular() && tribe_is_event()) { dynamic_sidebar(); }You’d may need to tweak this and other bits of the template, plus your stylesheet, to integrate it nicely, however.
