Sites now finished and Live … http://www.bikeeventsscotland.com
ok, I worked out a bit of a hacked solution to this.
It was the validation that was ‘causing half of my entered data to dissapear. So, I am now using the Jquery.Validate plugin to check the form is all ok before submitting, this bypasses the PHP validation and all seems to be working fine.ok thanks Casey.
In the meantime is it possible to just put a default value into the description field?, so the validation doesn’t fail on it. I can do it, but I can’t find where that field gets rendered (teplate wise).Any update on this?
Im having the same problem at the moment, I get “Description is required” on a validation check, but when I get to that I lose half of the information I’ve already added, like Event Oransier and Event Location.The way I did it was to just add that PHP code in the function (above) into my base normal page template, then I created a page in WordPress and assigned that template to it, I then just link directly to that page instage of going via the /events/ url … my url is now /eventslistingpage/ or something like that.
actually, that might not be the best solution for you, I had to do it this way because I had both a listing and calendar view on the same page.
Create a custom template for the listing pages
3rd example on this page.
Same way Im doing it on my site : http://bikeeventsdev.madebrave.com/events-listing-page/
Just set up categories and assign your events to the category?
So, in your WP admin you would go to Events > Event Categories
Setup your events for Concert / Sporting / Music / Conference … whatever they may be, then when you add a new event just assign it to the correct category?In the same way, you could use the Custom fields to just set an event as Fall / Summer etc
Then on your listing page you could pull out every event that is set to Fall.a user can export an event to their own Google Calendar, so I guess they could export all the ones they like and store them that way, I wouldn’t know how to do it within your site though.
Without too much work you could set up Fall, Summer etc as Event categories then display everything from that category on a listing type page.
Im not sure how you would implement that with the Calendar view though, if there are no secific date attatched to it.You can create a new page template and use the following code :
open php tag
global $post;
$all_events = tribe_get_events(
array(
‘eventDisplay’=>’upcoming’,
‘posts_per_page’=>10,
‘tax_query’=> array(
array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘tribe_events_cat’,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => ‘training’
)
)
)
);foreach($all_events as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
close php tagChange terms variable above to whatever your category is

Here’s how I do it, with a different page for each category navigatable from the top menu
