Hi Nico:

Thanks for this. We’ll keep an eye out for the updates as we really need to resolve this for our users. As of now, we have disabled Week View since it showed no Events.

Also, here’s something for our wish-list:

A significant problem for us with ECPro is the issue of concurrent or overlapping events in a category. Since we are using ECPro as a room booking calendar with each room being a category, it is essential that people do not book overlapping events in each category, i.e., do not double-book a room. Currently, we have a notice telling people to check availability first and not to double-book but there will of course be users who ignore this, requiring manual admin fixes.

I realize that having more than one event occurring concurrently in a category is a desirable thing for clients who have events happening at the same time in different locations. But for clients such as us where all events in a category occur in the same location it would be fantastic to have a setting that can be enabled to prevent concurrent or overlapping events in a category. When enabled, it would show a warning saying that the chosen time has already been taken, requiring the user to choose a different time.

Thanks very much for your attention.

For what it’s worth, the same problems occur on your own demo. Following the steps as outlined above:

1. Go to WordCamps event category: http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wordcamps/ – result: events appear correctly
2. Under “View As”, choose Week – result: “There were no results found.”
3. Under “View As”, choose Day – result: events appear, but category has been removed from URL (i.e. URL is events/today/?tribe-bar-date=2015-11 instead of events/category/wordcamps/today/?tribe-bar-date=2015-11). It also incorrectly bumped me to November 1st although October 30th is highlighted as today on the month view
4. Click Next Day/Previous Day links – result: events appear, but category is still gone from URL

Hi Nico,

Resaving permalinks did not fix the issue, tested both on the live site and the local site with only Twenty Thirteen and The Events Calendar active. How are you testing on your end? You have three event categories and the previous/next links are staying within those categories on day/week/month view?

One more situation where we lose the category part of the URL:

1. Go to Large Seminar Room event category: http://biochemistry.utoronto.ca/rooms/category/5231/ – result: room bookings appear correctly
2. Click “November” (or whatever next month appears) – result: events appear, but category has been removed from URL (i.e. URL is rooms/2015-11 instead of rooms/category/5231/2015-11)

Hi Nico,

We cloned the site to a local machine to thoroughly test for conflicts (following the steps here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/) and have determined that our issues are not related to other plugins or themes. Here are the steps to recreate our issues (again, these results occurred both on the local install with Twenty Thirteen as the active theme and only Event Calendar plugins active, and on local/live with our custom theme and all plugins active):

1. Go to Large Seminar Room event category: http://biochemistry.utoronto.ca/rooms/category/5231/ – result: room bookings appear correctly
2. Under “View As”, choose Week – result: “No results were found for this week”
3. Under “View As”, choose Day – result: events appear, but category has been removed from URL (i.e. URL is rooms/today instead of rooms/category/5231/today)
4. Click Next Day/Previous Day links – result: events appear, but category is still gone from URL

OR

1. Go to Large Seminar Room event category: http://biochemistry.utoronto.ca/rooms/category/5231/ – result: room bookings appear correctly
2. Under “View As”, choose Day – result: “No events scheduled for 28 October 2015″
3. Under “View As”, choose Week – result: events appear, but category has been removed from URL (i.e. URL is rooms/week/?tribe-bar-date=2015-10-28 instead of rooms/category/5231/week/?tribe-bar-date=2015-10-28)
4. Click Next Week/Previous Week links – result: events appear, but category is still gone from URL

Testing for theme conflicts did help us narrow down & fix the console errors, so those shouldn’t be affecting anything at this point:

Error: InvalidValueError: not an Object
Fix: Added snippet to functions.php as suggested by Modern Tribe support (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/js-error-when-using-filter-bar/)

Error: You have included the Google Maps API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors.
Fix: Disable UberMenu plugin’s loading of Google Maps API (http://sevenspark.com/docs/ubermenu-3/content/shortcodes/maps)
