Hmm, typed a rather lengthy reply on how I got this to work, but it seems to have disappeared. Maybe because I edited it twice? Tried to repost and was told it was a duplicate, so hopefully it will show up eventually.

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_

I was given alternative guidance earlier about how to use css to achieve my goals.

In any case, I looked at the code in the edit-event.php file but don’t see how the login is rendered, nor how the ‘event submitted’ text is rendered.

What template(s) do these renderings originate from?

[Lou]

I hadn’t considered the last alternative of different classes which are controlled by view. This seems the best way to go for me, as the text is then configurable rather than hard coded in functions.php or the template.

Thanks!

[Lou]

Yes I’m talking about https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/display-custom-html-specific-calendar-views/ . When installed it shows up as “The Events Calendar Extension: Selectively Show HTML Boxes” in the plugins list.

With this extension I can set the html before the month view, or set the html before the community event edit view using Events > Settings > Display > Advanced Template Settings > Add HTML before event content. Actually there’s a set of checkboxes after “Show HTML before on” and I can set the same html before multiple views.

Problem is I need the html before month view to be different from the html before community event edit view. So I guess I need to use the solution I mentioned.

Also can you tell me where is the documentation on available actions, like tribe_events_community_section_after_title?

[Lou]

Awesome, thanks!

[Lou]

Thanks. Yes was talking about the community/add page. We decided to simply hide the custom fields and categories with css for now. I’ll visit the user voice page to ask for or upvote these features.

[Lou]

(should have searched about google maps, just saw https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/google-map-toggle-on-community-events-submission/#dl_post-1295667)

[Lou]

also noticed there’s no way to set to show google maps link. It would be nice to allow that to be configurable by the administrator

[Lou]

Actually https://sandbox.steeplechasers.org/events/community/list was garbled with a lot of extra [br] tags. I had to modify my code to check for tribe_is_community_my_events_page() as well.

/**
 * Detect plugin. For use on Front End only. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_plugin_active
 */
include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );

/**
 * Special processing to avoid conflicts between Toggle wpautop and The Events Calendar Community Events.
 * An alternate solution would be to make this occur first and update_post_meta( $post_id, '_lp_disable_wpautop', 1 ) 
 * but that is a bit less direct. However this assumes understanding of Toggle wpautop internals.
 */
if ( is_plugin_active('toggle-wpautop/toggle-wpautop.php') 
		&& is_plugin_active('the-events-calendar-community-events/tribe-community-events.php') ) {
	if ( ! function_exists( 'steeps_the_post' ) ) :
	function steeps_the_post( $post ) {
		// remove wpautop for tribe community events
		// without this extra <p> tags are generated in these pages by Toggle wpautop plugin, causing javascript errors
		if ( tribe_is_community_edit_event_page() || tribe_is_community_my_events_page() ) {
			remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
			remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );
		}
	}
	endif; // steeps_the_post
	add_action( 'the_post', 'steeps_the_post', 11 );	// needs to be higher priority than the_post in LP_Toggle_wpautop.__construct
}

[Lou]

Thanks for the idea. I was able to resolve the conflict by adding the following code in my theme’s functions.php file. Note I could do this only because I have complete control of my theme. Casual theme and plugin users would have to figure out another way to get this workaround into their system.

/**
 * Detect plugin. For use on Front End only. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_plugin_active
 */
include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php' );

/* 
** Special processing to avoid conflicts between Toggle wpautop and The Events Calendar Community Events.

if ( is_plugin_active('toggle-wpautop/toggle-wpautop.php') 
		&& is_plugin_active('the-events-calendar-community-events/tribe-community-events.php') ) {
	if ( ! function_exists( 'steeps_the_post' ) ) :
	function steeps_the_post( $post ) {
		// remove wpautop for tribe community events
		// without this extra <p> tags are generated in these pages by Toggle wpautop plugin, causing javascript errors
		if ( tribe_is_community_edit_event_page () ) {
			remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
			remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );
		}
	}
	add_action( 'the_post', 'steeps_the_post', 11 );	// needs to be higher priority than the_post in LP_Toggle_wpautop.__construct
	endif; // steeps_the_post
}

[Lou]

I will try this. I’m a bit murky about what happens when and how to hook my function in, but I will do some research. I will report back my results.

[Lou]

Looks like toggle-wpautop.php has the following, so my need is to set _lp_disable_wpautop into the post metadata for the ‘post’ which is the event editor (and any other community events views). Please tell me what is the best way to do this.

		function the_post( $post ) {
			if ( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_lp_disable_wpautop', true ) ) {
				remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
				remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );
			} else {
				if ( ! has_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' ) ) {
					add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
				}

				if ( ! has_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' ) ) {
					add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );
				}
			}
		}
