Hello jokesonme,

Thanks for contacting us!

I believe everything you are looking for is in this template tags tutorial. You basically need a new query for every question you’re asking, and you do that with the ‘tribe_get_events()’ function.

Typically this level of customization goes beyond the scope of the forums, but I will continue to give you pointers as long as it’s not too time intensive.

Does this make sense? Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.

Cheers!

Hello literarychicago,

Thanks for upgrading and sorry for the disappointment so far! We have so many active and happy users and I’d love to make you one of them! 🙂

I think there might be something wrong with your current site implementation, because what you describe is exactly how our plugin functions!

On our demo site, you can see that the hover tooltips are full of information in Month view. http://wpshindig.com/events/

In the default List view, the information is readily available for reading and scanning, without clicking into event at all! http://wpshindig.com/events/upcoming/

Your users shouldn’t have to click ‘Google Calendar’ to see the info on and single event, that information should be front and center. (right above the Google Calendar button) http://wpshindig.com/event/wordpress-santa-cruz-meetup/2014-06-18/

We have so many requests for additional functionality, we find that a one line text statement helps a lot of users discover additional features they wanted but weren’t sure how to implement. Tickets and community submitted events are to major examples of that.

Lastly, on our products and FAQ page we do our best to manage our customers expectations! We try to be very clear that all of our support is through the forums. We’d love your feedback on how to word this better so there is less confusion in the future.

Does this make sense? Let me know if I can explain anything else!

Cheers!

I believe you want to work with two files in the events-calendar-pro folder:

resources/tribe-events-week.js and views/pro/week/single-event-hourly.php

Hello kellymarie2001,

I really would like to help solve this, but if doesn’t work on a default system with no other plugins and a default theme, there may be a problem beyond Tribe’s control. I’m particularly stumped if they don’t work on a default system :/

When talking with the team, we noticed that both plural and singular event slugs are the same ‘calendar’ slug. You may want to change the singular back to ‘event’ and see if that fixes the problem. This is done on the Events Settings > General tab in the WordPress admin dashboard. Resave your permalinks after changing it.

However on my system, I was able to use ‘calendar’ for both slugs and it worked just fine. I did however have to resave the permalinks setting, to get single event pages to show up. I would still try changing it on yours, but I don’t yet understand the root of the problem if it fixes it.

At the bottom of the Events Settings > Display tab, there is a place to put html that will appear before and after the calendar views. I believe there is the best place to add the ‘Add Event’ button to the calendar.

Can you tell me more about your install/server? Is this a singular install or a multisite?

Does this make sense? Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.

Cheers!

Hello drjchamberlain,

I’m afraid you will have to get your hands dirty in some CSS for the wrapping and column customizations you want to make. We simply don’t have the resources to help build every customer’s website, and as such, those customizations go beyond the scope of the forums.

A plugin like http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/ will help you add css to your site. There are many great and free CSS tutorials online, and CSS is a very easy and powerful web language to learn. It will be well worth your time to learn how to increase the width of a column, for instance.

There is no problem with the Excerpts, especially the tooltips, as they are specifically designed to maintain consistency across the site. Our support manager even gave you a gist of code to start customization of your tooltips. To customize the tooltips with the gist, you will have to read through the Themer’s Guide to make any customizations you want. The gist code works in conjunction with the month/single-event.php file, and the instructions in there are lengthy and explicit.

Please open up a new topic about your map issue. If you could please detail in your own words exactly what your problem is (instead of just linking here), that will go a long way towards helping you get this issue resolved as fast as possible. I hope you understand our reasoning here and do not mind this extra step, we have just found it serves our users best.

Best,

Talked with a dev and this was his comment verbatim. I’m a dev myself, but don’t yet quite know the intricacies of the system. Let me know if this is enough information, otherwise I’d be happy to look into it and break it down for you a bit more.

I think the basic outline you could propose he look into is use the widget_display_callback filter as a means of listening out for the calendar widget (he can check which widget it is by using a conditional against $widget->id_base, where $widget is the second parameter available to filter functions using that hook). Then, setup a further filter on parse_query and $query->set( ‘eventDisplay’, ‘upcoming’ ) etc, then tear it down so as not to interfere with subsequent queries by other widgets or what-have-you

Hello crystalbridges,

Thanks for contacting us, this is a neat request! And you did your homework, which makes my job easier! 🙂

The short answer version is you cannot, by design. That specific widget is made to display a month view, which by definition cuts off at the end of the calendar month. The ‘upcoming’ query is not limited to calendar boundaries, and thus we didn’t build in a way to override or adjust that specific query. This is just with my experience so far and digging through the code, I may be mistaken.

The long answer is I will check with the devs. Can you give me more information as to why you want that end result? Is it the aesthetics of the large calendar ‘day’ square in each list item? If so this is the second time I’ve had this request in a week, and we might make a quick tutorial so you can get that effect with a more appropriate widget. If not, it would be great if you could offer more specifics, I’d love to help any way I can.

Does this make sense? Let me know if I can explain anything else!

Cheers! –

Hello ogadesign,

Thanks for contacting us!

I’m not able to tell what is happening by first glance. Strangely, the other views seem to be working just fine, but the upcoming list view does take an abnormally long time.

My first guess is that the database query is holding it up. Can you give me more information about your host and/or server size? Are you on a shared instance? I don’t know if it matters much, but typically queries run slower on smaller systems.

My other guess would be some sort of plugin conflict. Can I have you confirm you deactivated each and every plugin, and changed your theme to a default theme, and the problem still persists?

Does this make sense? Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.

Cheers!

Hello mending,

I apologize for your frustration. I have an expectation of professionalism I set for myself, and I don’t believe I am meeting it here.

When I posted that the plugin wasn’t working, it didn’t meet my service level expectations and I assumed it wouldn’t meet yours. I updated the tutorial so that it now functions properly.

The Events Calendar Pro offers six different views, because each view is built to best handle a certain number and types of events. We are hoping to add more in the future as need and interest requires it, and we built the plugin so it is highly extensible. We encourage users to build their own views if they find ours limiting.

Currently, the week view is not built to handle the overload of events your client has during those few hours. This may be an oversight on the part of our products team, or it just may be the visual limit of that view. You may find success in using another view, including building your own.

I understand your client may have design and branding guidelines, you might find success in dropping the border and padding on the event blocks, and maybe even the opacity. That might raise the visibility of the events in dense areas. The default css for example has a very small border (but I believe the padding is the same)

I know these styling changes won’t help you much, as the event may still be blocked for selection while in this view. However, those styling suggestions, along with the working ‘Agenda’ view tutorial, are all I can give you at this time. There is not currently an available fix for the crowding of events in the ‘Week’ view.

After talking with the team, we completely understand where you are coming from, and wish there was a better way to fix this issue. However, we are not in a position to fix this overnight or ASAP, but we are looking to update our code and Themer’s Guide so that this may be more easily customizable in the future.

We encourage you, as always, to submit your new feature ideas to our UserVoice forum. We take user ideas and contributions very seriously, and many times their ideas end up in our future releases.

Thanks for contacting us and good luck with your customizations.

Hello mending,

Thanks for letting us know about this! We’ve heard this request from a few other users and we are considering a new view for the future.

If you have a moment, we’d love for you to submit your idea to our UserVoice forum. We take user ideas and contributions very seriously, and many times their ideas end up in our future releases.

In the meantime, we have an old tutorial about creating your own custom view with a sample ‘Agenda‘ view. It is out of date and doesn’t currently function properly, but the code will help get you started.

Otherwise, the custom view you are looking for is beyond the scope of the forums.

Does this make sense? Let me know if I can explain anything else!

Good luck!
