Thanks. There was no output in the debug log from either plugin (yours or theirs) when the error occurs. Plan is to back out to releases which were working to try to isolate the problem between the two plugins. The other plugin vendor is supporting, and plans to try to reproduce but I don’t have a lot of hope because as mentioned I wasn’t able to reproduce on another vhost.

Unfortunately I’m going out of town for a week and won’t be able to work on this while out.

Please keep this open if possible. Or if you do close it I hope I can comment on it later.

Actually it is All in One WP Migration Google Drive extension. I can’t seem to reproduce on another server. Please help me help you debug this with suggestions.

[Lou]

I started deactivating plugins and got lucky because the problem was resolved when deactivating an early plugin in the list: All-in-One WP Migration.

Will you be able to figure out why there is a new issue with this plugin working with yours?

I generally use this plugin nightly for backups, so I don’t believe I can leave it disabled.

[Lou]

Seems like theeventscalendar has a new global variable “debug” which was incompatible with a theme variable of the same name. When the theme javascript for this page loaded, the “debug” variable was overwritten which caused the error in theeventscalendar.

I’ve renamed the theme variable which resolved the problem.

definitely looks like bug, in tribe-events.js line 1320

dbug && debug.info( 'TEC Debug: Tribe Events JS init, Init Timer started from tribe-events.js.' );

[Lou]

This problem is resolved.

You gave me the idea. I replaced the div tag with classes that a) will be handled some with tribe styles, and, b) add some of my styles. See https://codepen.io/louking/pen/JrKgqq which copies the tribe styles for .tribe-community-edit .button-primary and .tribe-community-edit .button, and also is enhanced with .my-button styles (which I have in my theme).

I think if I use a button I have to mess with form tags and javascript to handle the submission.

[Lou]

Thanks for the guidance. I just came up for air on some other stuff I was working on, and will start looking at this solution and report back. I am only commenting here, now, to forestall any automated closure which might happen in the time I am looking at it.

[Lou]

Thanks.

Is there any way to keep this from getting overwritten when a new release comes out? E.g., if I copy Main.php to wp-content/themes/<theme>/tribe-events/community and modify that version, will the themes version take precedence? I think you are saying that won’t work.

If not how do I do this in a way that would survive an update to community events?

[Lou]

The issue was that the #tribe-events div was opened in the “before-html” filter, and closed in the “after-html” filter.

My wrapping this completely within [div] … [/div] effectively closed the #tribe-events div rather than mine, so the on click event tied to #tribe-events was not processing.

Solution is to open my class div in the before-html filter and close it in the after-html filter.

For anyone following this discussion, the links I gave above cannot be edited, but can be seen in the https://github.com/louking/steeps/blob/6caca502bb9e6c128fd0a6718f172e866a9620b6/functions.php version.

This has been fixed in https://github.com/louking/steeps/commit/362ab43ad8426a1137e65c347bfc9935d72222d0

I finally got a chance to look at this. In https://github.com/louking/steeps/blob/master/functions.php when I comment out https://github.com/louking/steeps/blob/master/functions.php#L347 the month navigation works.

Reference https://steeplechasers.org/events/

What I am doing is trying to control the html display before the rest of the page so I can display different headers for community events. For community events I determine the type of page in steeps_ce_determine_class_edit (https://github.com/louking/steeps/blob/master/functions.php#L298) or steeps_ce_determine_class_list (https://github.com/louking/steeps/blob/master/functions.php#L328). But for the month view I leave the event class as steeps-ce-class-unknown (https://github.com/louking/steeps/blob/master/functions.php#L280).

Based on this class my css displays the right header. (for reference starting at https://github.com/louking/steeps/blob/master/style.css#L1393)

This filter at https://github.com/louking/steeps/blob/master/functions.php#L342 wraps the “before html” in a [div] with my class.

What I do not understand is why this causes the month navigation to stop working.

[Lou]

Thanks for your offer.

I may do this but will wait until I have a chance to try to debug on my own. I don’t feel right asking you for help until I have taken that step myself. Having said that, if you are curious and have infinite spare time 🙂 the theme can be found at https://github.com/louking/steeps. There are a couple of expectations of the theme — I’m not sure how it will behave with an empty database.

I’m in the middle of another project, so will not be able to get to this for at least a few days, but maybe a week or two.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick reply. In sandbox.steeplechasers.org I switched to 2015 theme and the problem was not evident, so apparently this is a problem with the ‘steeps’ theme I wrote or some javascript I included. With that in mind I’ll try to debug. If you have any suggestions for this process would be appreciated.

[Lou]

Yes, everything Alex said.

While I’m not sure there is an out of the box ‘duplicate’ on the backend — I think I’m using Event Rocket plugin for that feature — I’d like to see one which copies everything for the Community Events for the person with subscriber role, i.e., not from wp-admin, as well.

Note I’m using Community Events, not Community Tickets, but from context I think there’s some common code base.

[Lou]

Interesting timing because I was just about to add the same comment / request. Commenting now so I’ll see responses to this.

[Lou]

Retrying my lengthy reply:

I was able to get the css method to work. It required using actions invoked at the start of the event add and event list functions by Main.php. I’m documenting this here in case anyone else has similar needs. Note my theme is “steeps” (https://github.com/louking/steeps) so all of the functions and classes start with steeps_

This behavior can be seen at https://sandbox.steeplechasers.org/events/community/add
