Thanks for the speedy response George.

Your help was spot on, was able to make the correct change.

For anyone wishing to do this, the key was the string being passed wasn’t just simply “Recurring Event”, but rather “Recurring %s”.

So change this section on the snippet linked above.

$custom_text = array(
‘Recurring %s’ => ‘Multi Day Event’,
‘Related %s’ => ‘Similar %s’,
);

Hi guys – I’m having what I think is a similar problem – one that is quite urgent.

Check this out: http://midlothiansciencefestival.com/event/unbelievable-the-science-of-the-paranormal-at-dalkeith-library/

Look at the Other fields (I have hidden the “other” label but they are at the right of the details box. You can see the URL field (which is an Additional Field of type URL with plain text of the url entered in the event as value).

It looks like the value of the field is being being returned incorrectly (some extra double quotes). I can see that additional-fields.php controls the display of the additional fields, but it simply returns the values as stored int he db. Looks like a storing issue?

Any other info you need, please let me know.

Thanks
Graeme.

Thanks Brook. I’ll give that a try tomorrow, looks encouraging though.

Hi ocama – I think that sounds like a different issue, perhaps you should open a forum discussion for that if not already? Looks to be an ajax issue to me (sure I read another thread here today with a very similar issue)

functions.php is generally in the root of your theme, not the plugin e.g.
wp-content/themes/[theme name]/functions.php

Just place the code Barry link above in the functions.php file anywhere between the opening and closing php tags.

If you are going to start editing your theme’s files, I suggest you use a child them – which is super simple to create, see this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes. You can then create a new functions.php in the child theme folder and edit it. This will ensure any changes are not overwritten when you update your theme.

Note: a child theme functions.php is IN ADDITION to the parent theme functions.php, so no need to copy the contents of the parent functions.php – just create a new one.

Spot on Barry, works a treat – does exact what I need.

Thanks a lot for your help.

[Graeme]

Stick it in the theme’s functions.php, but you need to include all the code Barry placed on pastbin, not just that function call.

Good luck

Simon – a solution for you has been suggested here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/mini-calendar-display-month-of-next-upcoming-event/

It works fine for me mate, so good luck.

To pass a specific month (rather than just next upcoming event month), just edit the last line call the function with a date param, so:

FROM:

new Tribe_Advance_Minical();

TO:

new Tribe_Advance_Minical(‘2013-10’);

Good luck.

[Graeme]

P.P.S. I also got it working to a target month via passing $target_date through to the Tribe_Advance_Minical() function – it worked perfectly. Thought you might like to know as this is a good idea too.

[Graeme]

P.S. I should mention that I’m using a child theme, and so have placed this in the child themes functions.php – it shouldn’t make a difference, but just thought I’d mention it.

[Graeme]

Thanks for this.

It works, but not 100%. The mini cal is defaulting to the month that contains the next upcoming event, which is great. However, the list of events that appears below the calendar is not updating – it appears blank until I click the day of the month that contains an event, then it appears.

When the calendar works normally, even when a user does not click the day of the month the list below still shows the next (5 – as that is what I have selected in the widget settings) events starting from the beginning of the month.

But I’m delighted with what you’ve done, thanks. If you can sort it so the month start up shows the upcoming events in the list that would be great, but not a huge worry if you can’t.

You should consider rolling this out as an option on the widget (or settings page to also impact the main month calendar too) as I’m sure others would like to have this functionality.

Top job, thanks.

[Graeme]

Thanks Barry, don’t worry about the delay, I appreciate you guys are busy just now.

[Graeme]

Thanks Rob.

Hi Simom / Rob – I have a similar request, relating specifically to the min calendar (you can see my post here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/mini-calendar-display-month-of-next-upcoming-event/)

I’m happy with hacking the plugin files (I can restore what I need after an upgrade), but could just use a gentle nudge in the right direction. Any suggestions Rob?

Thanks,
Graeme.
