ParticipantIf I am to try and build a hook where will I insert this hook? Which event_tribe php file will it have to go in?

ParticipantHere’s my created relationship field ‘tribe_event_link’ in custom fields – se jpg;-
http://www.brightonspiegeltent.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/custom_field_create_relationship.jpgYou can see Ive built a relationship in the following linked image between an TEC event and WP post:-
Now I just need to do something to display the post (and not event) when its picked from event calendar – some kind of hook or filter? Please help.

ParticipantOr if the code above is useless I can build a custom field in events that is tied to the post (Post (Custom field ‘Post Type’ Events = posts, I select the tie from the list array of posts where its a match)
How do I now display the result?March 19, 2014 at 5:52 pm in reply to: Is there a simple way of linking [Events] to [Posts] ? #121311driftwood
ParticipantOMG, just looking at the ‘developing an api plugin’ in your WP Filter link makes me want to cry. Where in hell does one start? If there’s anyone out there willing to help please pm / email me here. Apparently its simple to do;-
Ill try to write my query like a coder:-
IF clicked on calendar entry THEN
IF (datetime.event AND name.event) = (datetime.post AND name.post) THEN
DISPLAY post
Else
DISPLAY event
End IF
End IFNow how do I code this into TEC Pro?

ParticipantIn other words… thanks for buying the product now off you go…run along! Oh and here’s a link to our basic templates/theme FAQ with limited support for non-developers and one that hasn’t been updated for probably quite some time.
Roll on the next customer… That’s clever. Short term win the battle, long term lose the war.
It makes me laugh that I have to take over 100 dated show Posts for my festival and copy them over to your Events custom posts – which does not make use of the feature enrichments of my preferred theme. And yet the only themes out there with 100% support are very few and far between. Wake up – smell the coffee. You can’t go on believing that its always the themes fault as to why things don’t work correctly with TEC. What you’re actually saying (just look at the hundreds of posts) is that TEC /Pro is simply not compatible with WordPress and can’t do much without serious programming work.March 19, 2014 at 5:12 pm in reply to: Is there a simple way of linking [Events] to [Posts] ? #121303driftwood
Participantor events!

ParticipantPosts are date published – i.e. its a timeline. A calendar should be able to link to these pages as the master timeline to them. I can’t see why this isn’t appealing to users.
As a commercial proposition or ‘idea’ this actually should be given more thought. Think how many more sales Modern tribe would generate if you could simply link the Calendar to Posts or Pages. Absolutely beautiful and elegant idea and would empower ALL themes.

ParticipantI’m flabbergasted that not a single user has ever got this working/or thought of providing the solution. Think about it. There’s a myriad of themes out there which work well with The Event Calendar but which can’t or don’t work on Event Pages.
I’m going to sit down and try work this out stage by stage and do it for myself.
Thank you for your efforts. Perhaps in future you guys should seriously think about common solutions for the common people.March 19, 2014 at 1:53 pm in reply to: Is there a simple way of linking [Events] to [Posts] ? #121230driftwood
ParticipantSurely someone has done this in the past – linking to a blog post rather than the event – I thought it would be one of the first thing’s Modern Tribe would have covered!
BTW: I’m a little unsure as to what Ive got to do in WP Filter as Im not a coder. Any hints to what ‘hooking’ in means and where does it hook?driftwood
ParticipantThis is true of many themes – its hardly the themes fault. Events Cal Pro Events cannot share categories made with Posts.

ParticipantNo. Not your additional fields.
In Screen Options under ‘Edit Event’ I can tick ‘Custom Fields’ these include theme options which bring many of my Posts options into Events editor. However, selecting and inserting values is not stored when saving (publishing) as when they immediately disappear after saving in Edit Event.driftwood
ParticipantSomething in your theme is overriding the padding in TEC/P – you’ll need to take a good look at the theme css / default page/post setups.

ParticipantOk I figured out how I can add code for background as in an earlier post and adding a line in in a separate css file entitled tribe-events.css.
I guess I could do that for the white background for ticket prices etc? Just got to find where they are in your original css.
However, Im still stuck trying to override my theme’s centre alignment of featured image in single-event view. Any clues as to where I should look? -
