Agreed. But, I have faith in the tri.be guys. Been with them for a long time. If it makes sense and they can include it in an update, they probably will.

Hope it works for you!

Here’s the Gist: https://gist.github.com/CarolinaEpicurean/6113200

Brownjm, I’ll email you a word doc with the info. Hope it works after all this!

[Laura]

I give up! How can I post the code I used?

[Laura]

Okay, obviously there’s a problem putting actual code in comments. I’ll try it again with extra “X’s”. REMOVE EVERY CAPITAL X AND SPACES BETWEEN < AND CODE.

NEW CODE (see below)

Here’s the code:

Submit Event

[Laura]

Wish I could edit my comments after posting!

Put this new code: Submit Event

Between these two lines:

NEW CODE

Save and you’re done.

Correction:
Created a NEW file in the /tribe-events/ folder called default-template.php

Then after copying content from original file with the same name, pasted it into the new file in /tribe-events/

[Laura]

Okay. Hopefully this isn’t too wordy.
I use the WP-Brilliance Theme that has buttons pre-installed, but I’m sure you can add a link to a button image you’ve uploaded if you need to.

Creating a Submit Button
(Read the Themer’s Guide: The Events Calendar/Pro 3.0) https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/
This is what I did:
1. Created a new folder in my theme folder
Opened – wp-content/themes/your-theme/
Then created the following folder: /tribe-events/
2. Located the files I wished to edit in:
/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views
3. Copied the file: default-template.php
4. Pasted the file into the new /tribe-events/ folder
5. Added the new code between these two lines:

NEW CODE

NEW CODE
Submit Event

*I also added code for people who want to register for community submissions:    OR    Email [email protected] for link to Register for ongoing Event Submission & Editing
**When I originally set up Community Events, I had a Subscribe button so people could be a Community member. That meant I had to enable “let anyone register”. Once I did that, I got a lot of spam registrations. They were probably hoping I hadn’t restricted user level and would have hacked my site. So, no more of that!

Hope this helps!

Thanks, brownjm. I think I’m finally able to get to my files, so will try to post my solution today.

[Laura]

Thanks, brownjm. I’m so fed up with my current hosting co (after 5 years), in the process of transferring to new one. Can login wp-admin only sporadically. Won’t forget to post button details here asap.

[Laura]

I thought it was strange when they just showed up! They looked pretty cool, though. Guess I’ll have to give some thought as to why/how that happened.

Thanks for your help. You can close this thread now.

[Laura]

I’m happy to share my solutions using a text link in the html before calendar area in calendar settings, as well as the button I ended up with, but will have to wait until my host resolves their current problems. I can’t log in to wp-admin to copy code for pasting here or give you specific instructions from memory.

As soon as I can, I’ll post here.

[Laura]

So do you or do you not see the small google calendar icons top right on each event in month view?

Are the icons/links included automatically, or is that something I would have had to enable/add?

[Laura]

The Google Calendar link shows at the bottom of individual events consistently, but sporadically on calendar/month view. Sometimes it’ll show on one computer, but not on another. Sometimes the link icons will show on every event in month view and then after refreshing the page, they won’t show. Really strange.

I was wondering if it might be security settings on the computers, or browser settings?

Just basically confused.

Also – my host is having problems today with the server my site is on, so if it doesn’t load, that’s why.

[Laura]

Meant to say I have a couple more questions *that I’ll post in a new thread*
Thanks!

[Laura]

I’ve figured out a good solution (http://carolinaepicurean.com/events/) using pre-loaded template buttons. I did read the Themer’s Guide, got the additional folders/files set up, and added the button and text code there. It’s working great, so you can mark this thread as closed.

I do have a couple of other questions that have come up as I set up a new theme.

Thanks for your help,
Laura
