Thanks for the response. I actually dug in and deleted all of the recurring events and recreated them with a shorter end date to see what would happen. So far there are no problems. If it recurs, I will refer to the query and insructions you posted.

Cheers

I have read the other forum posts about issues with recurring event problems, and have found nothing outside of running the cleanup plugin. I have attached an image of the error.

Thanks for responding. I will throw the site on a test server and revert to 3.4 of everything. If you come across a workaround I’d love to hear about it.

All future events would solve it.

I know at one time I used: /events/?ical=1&tribe_display=list
But this pulls in 6 events as well.

[crystalbridges]

Yes, in my downloads folder I have ical feeds from April that had full lists. I know we upgraded both the free version and pro a little while back, but I’m not sure when. I haven’t changed any core files except for one widget view file.

[crystalbridges]

Woops, I have one more requirement that I didn’t mention.

We are using WP Tags and Categories for filtering (on the filter bar, and in calendar feeds), and for some reason the Event Calendar Pro widget pulls in the full list of tags and categories, whereas the basic list widget only pulls in categories to filter by.

If the basic list widget could pull in tags AND be restyled to match the Pro widget, that would be the optimum.

Thank you very much for your response. The layout of this widget is a big part of my reasoning for wanting to make this change. We aren’t using the month view at the top and prefer this nicely laid out list. We are also using it on large screens viewed by the public to indicate upcoming events, and as such, it makes more sense not to display events that ended an hour ago or whatever the case may be.

If you were able to provide a tutorial for making this change, that would obviously be the preferable route to take, rather the changing core files or digging into the filters.

Thanks again.

I was able to get a custom taxonomy (custom tags, to distinguish from built in WP ‘tags’), and place it on the filterbar and filter events correctly.

First I created the taxonomy. I am using a custom plugin, but you can do the same thing in functions.php. Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/dpreiNMs

Then I made a copy of ‘/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-filterbar/lib/filtersTribeEventsFilter_Category.php’ and called it ‘TribeEventsFilter_CustomTag.php’. I changed all instances of ‘event_categories’ to ‘custom_tags’. Then change the queries to pull in the correct taxonomy term list. Basically you replace ‘TribeEvents::TAXONOMY’ with ‘custom_tags’. So now it should pull your list in. Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/BPtMTnbs.

Then go to /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-filterbar/lib/tribe-filter-view.class.php, and around line 282, you need to add a line to point to your new file. Like this:
new TribeEventsFilter_CustomTag( __( ‘Custom Tags’, ‘tribe-events-filter-view’ ), ‘customtags’);
I will eventually remove this line add it in a hook in my custom plugin.

Remember if you haven’t created any custom tags, and/or do not have any events associated with the custom tags, the query won’t pull anything and it won’t appear to work.

Can’t edit posts…

I meant to say in previous post:
Is there a way to query for ‘TribeEvents::MYCUSTOMTAXONOMY’ or ‘TribeEvents::MYADDITIONALFIELD’?

[crystalbridges]

And from further research on “TribeEvents::TAXONOMY” it appears to be linked to event categories. Is this the only way to query for ‘TribeEvents::MYCUSTOMTAXONOMY’ or ‘TribeEvents::MYADDITIONALFIELD’?

[crystalbridges]

Thanks for the response Barry. So if I set up custom taxonomies for Events, can I have it show up in the filter bar, and effectively replacing tags for the end user?
