Howdy Brendan,
It’s nice to meet you. I’d love to help answer those questions. We typically do try to keep topics focused on a single question, but that’s okay.
How do I set a “from this to this” type of date search? It seems to do this in the example and on some other sites I’ve seen, but I can find nowhere in the options nor in the documentation. I’d like to set a date range, to search from one date to the other.
The Filter Bar does not quite include a date range style search. It does allow you to search for events from x date forward, but no end date. It also allows you to filter events to a day of the week or time of the day.
Is there a way to make all the vertical options either open or shut upon opening the page? For example, I want to open my menu and see “Price” with the price slider on display, but have the option to shut it, and the “Tags” to be closed but have the option to open it?
There isn’t an option to do this, yet. That would make a great feature request. Please suggest it over on our UserVoice feature suggestion page. To be honest that horizontal Filter Bar layout is not something we’re super proud of UX wise, and would love some feedback on how to improve it.
Is there a way to turn off the “close filter bar” option? I would like it to be ever present.
Absolutely. Add this line to your CSS and it will hide the button:
a#tribe_events_filters_toggle { display: none; }Is there a way to make my own buttons and checkboxes for the filters? For example, let’s say I want to put a view change link in the footer to open up the map view. I can’t do that because I need to call the Ajax which loads the page and preserves all my search variables. How do I write a code to do that? Also, let’s say I want to make a custom header which allows me to choose a price for which to search. How could I replicate the price search functionality outside the filter bar?
You could extend the filter class to add your own filters to the Filter Bar or elsewhere. Adding them to the Filter Bar is somewhat easy via this method, you just add the new filter and class to the Filter Bar filters array. Adding them elsewhere might be a bit more difficult, you might need to load some extra dependencies. When you try to load it it will throw up an error message indiciating which dependencies are missing, and you could include them from there.
If you want to include a view switcher in the footer, that’s a whole different ball game. The easiest way to do this would probably be to copy the JS function from our tribe bar JS and modify it to apply to a difference elements ID, such as your new view switched in the footer.
Does that all make sense? Does that answer your questions? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Thank you Jos!
So basically the sidebar area is too narrow to contain the widget. This leaves two options:
- Widen the sidebar by going to Enfold > General Layout > Dimensions, and adjusting the “Content | Sidebar Ratio” to have a wider sidebar.
- Change the mobile breakpoint. Here’s a link to the enfold support area where they outlined how to do make it wider. Currently it is 768px. You might wish to try something like 960px.
Would one of those work?
Cheers!

Ok, so for now I would have to add tickets to 1,500 events per year. Because there are about 250 events per year, and there are 6 lanuages.
Yeah that is a lot. It would be difficult to do manually. This is scheduled to be resolved in the next couple of months when we release a very large update to our tickets framework. But until then tickets would need to be created manually.
Will I be able to not only post for instance 20 events in English for December, but also post all the translations into Japanese at one click of a button?
With a recurring event you will only need to translate it once for each language. Each recurrence will have the translation. So if you have 20 occurence of an event, they will all benefit from your initial translation.
Also, which one of the 4 platforms would you recommend for events?
WooCommerce is the most popular, with EDD coming up second. They are both pretty excellent. If you are not selling any physical products, EDD is awesome. Since EDD is all digital products the tickets within it are easily emailed and printed in a slick fashion.
I should mention that only Events Calendar Pro and The Events Calendar are fully WPML compatible. We do not yet feel comfortable saying that WooCommerce Tickets or Easy Digital Downloads Tickets are fully compatible as we have not finished testing with those.
Does that answer everything? Please let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers!

Howdy Bob,
That is a good question. The event list page is a bit unique, in that there are two functions for it. One to detect if you are viewing the upcoming List view, and another for the Past view. That’s why in the code you linked you will see this:
tribe_is_upcoming() || tribe_is_past()If one of those is true, you are viewing the event list page. Have you given that code from iThemes a whirl? Does it solve the duplicate issue?
Cheers!

Howdy Jens,
We definitely can help you out, I’d be glad to answer your questions. Just in case you had not already seen, we are not available to answer questions on the weekend. But starting in the morning on Monday in the US we begin answering any questions from the weekend such as yours.
The Events Calendar is not compatible with WPML. This KB article outlines how to set them both up together. You could run The Events Calendar and WooTickets together on your site to satisfy all of your needs! There is only one caveat. WooTickets does not yet have good compatibility with recurring events. In order to make a recurring event and WooTickets work their best together, you must first create the recurring event. Then manually add tickets to each individual recurrence. We are aiming to fix this caveat with our next release of the ticketing plugin, which is due out in a month or two.
Does that answer all of your questions?
Cheers!

Howdy Jos,
I would love to help you with that. What iPad are you using? Would it be possible for you to take a screenshot of the issue and share it here?
Thanks!

Howdy Scott,
Good question. That would certainly be possible to build using the current API. But there is no preexisting list in the calendar. It would need to be built basically from scratch.
Does that answer your question?
Cheers!

Howdy Tommy,
That’s a good question. It definitely sounds possible. I take it you have a custom WP Page Template that you are trying to set for events in that category, likely it includes a special sidebar.
You can override the template using a snippet like this place in your theme’s functions.php file.
https://gist.github.com/elimn/60364baa828edaeca245
That example shows you how to override the single event template. You could modify it to target single events from a specific category by adding some conditions. You can get a list of categories for an event by using tribe_get_event_taxonomy().
Does that all make sense? Using those steps are you able to override the single event with your page template? Please let us know.
Cheers!

Hello Stephane,
Thank you for clearly detailing the problem, and showing an example of your settings. That helped me determine what is going on.
It sounds like you would want to set the”Heure es date de fin” to 2015-09-16. That field applies to the first event in the series, and it sounds like you only want that event to last one day. All of the recurences are based on that first event, so they will also last one day and start/end on the same time as that first event. So simply changing the field should fix it.
Does that all make sense? I wonder if we could make this more clear with some extra wording in the calendar?
Cheers!

Howdy Stephan,
Good question. I often hear the referred to as a “paginator”. I have never seen anyone build one for The Events Calendar. However, it’s definitely possible to do using theme overrides and by running a query to determine how many future/past events there are in total. Our plugin does not run that query by default, as this affects performance and usually users never actually use the numbered links.
But, if the small sacrifice in performance is worth it to you, you could definitely run a query to see how many events there are, and build a paginator from it. There are many tutorials outy there for building a paginator or pagination. This even shares some code that would be very applicable to a WordPress.
If you are looking for a prebuilt one though, then as I said I am not aware of anyone who has already built one.
Does that info help answer your question? Cheers!

Hello Johannes,
I’d be happy to outline how to disable one of the tooltips. Could you specify which one? We have a number of them throughout the calendar. The most common one is on Month view, when you hover over an event you get a tooltip for isntance. Is that what you are referring to?
Cheers!
– Brook
Excellent! I am happy to hear it. Thanks for your understanding.
Please let us know if you need anything else in the future. We are doing a big 4.0 release in the near future, which is liable to break some existing customizations. But, along side that we are doing a backwards compatible 3.13 for folks with customization which do break, so they can stay on 3.13 for a few months while updating their customizations. That said, I do not anticipate this particular customization will break with 4.0. I just wanted to give you some fair warning of upcoming changes just in case it was relevant.
Since this is now resolved I am going to archive this topic. Always feel free to open a new one should you have any future questions or issues. Cheers!

Hello again Allison,
Thank for sharing the detail there. That is very helpful. I reproduced your settings exactly with the Avia builder including the containers. I had layer slider, a post slider, and Events Calendar Pro active including a few widgets. In all cases the post slider showed up as well as the rest of the site.
Could you try creating a new test page and adding just the Post Slider to it? Does it work now? If not, try changing the template on this page to not include a sidebar. Does that fix it?
Cheers!
– Brook
Thanks for performing those diagnostic tests. The screenshot is especially helpful. I was under the impression the entire Filter Bar was missing. Could you go to WP Admin > Events > Settings > Filters, and double check that you have all of the filters enabled? It seems like they might have been disabled somehow.
