Right on, thanks for following up Mike! Definitely let us know if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers,

We just released an update on Wednesday, so the next likely release will be in about two weeks. We try to ship maintenance releases every two weeks specifically to address bug reports that get reported here in the forums.

I’ll definitely keep you posted as I learn more.

Hey Graham, welcome to the forums!

That sounds totally doable. While we are a bit limited in how much we can support custom development questions like this, I’d be happy to point you in the right direction if I can. 🙂

First off, this snippet can be placed in your child theme’s functions.php file to remove the “Upcoming Events” title specifically in Photo View:

https://gist.github.com/geoffgraham/5f29b3bf0e7706cf93628dc000261782

To only show the minimal info for an event, you can make customize the template for the Photo View. There’s more on this in our Themer’s Guide, but it basically boils down to this:

• Make a copy of the template. It’s located at /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/photo/single-event.php
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Make a new folder in that one called pro
• Make a new folder in that one called photo
• Drop the copied single-event.php file in that last folder

Now that the template is in your theme you can modify it to suit your needs. In this case, you can remove any of the details you would like from the template to show only what you need. For example, remove the following line to get rid of the content excerpt:

<?php echo tribe_events_get_the_excerpt() ?>

I’m afraid the only thing I’m unable to help with is changing the column widths for Photo View. Those are created dynamically with Javascript and would take a fair amount of custom development.

Will this help you get started? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff

Howdy Mike,

Those are awfully nice looking sites!

The Events Calendar has some good looking views as well, but they do not look like those right out of the box.

That said, it is entirely possible to customize the layout and styles of our calendar and customize the views to your heart’s content. It does take a fair bit of custom development, but we try to make it as easy as possible and have a complete overview of how to do that here in our Themer’s Guide.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey Cesar,

We’re happy to help point you in the right direction for this if we can — but will you please post this to our WordPress.org forum, or our premium support forum if you have an active license? We monitor this Pre Sales channel, but only for questions about purchasing the premium plugins.

In the meantime, You might want to consider checkout out both our Themer’s Guide and documentation, both of which provide information on how to retrieve events content and data and purpose them for your own needs. You may also be interested in checking out our post on using the tribe_get_events() function, as it also outlines how to grab events an use them in other places.

Cheers!

Hey Adam,

Oh shoot, there is a minor formatting typo on our end in the snippet that is provided in the Knowledgebase. You can use this instead while we fix that up:

Will this work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Hey @vlambert,

Great questions! Let’s tackle them one at a time together.

Is there a way to have a ticket that allows entrance for 2 days? We would like to use the QR code check in.

I’m afraid this is not possible, at least with the QR code functionality. The QR code will check a person in once and count that check-in once rather than give you a number of possible check-ins with that code.

That’s a really interesting idea and use case for Event Tickets Plus, though. Would you be willing to share that on our feature request forum? I can see others finding that feature useful and it would be awesome to have it on the radar.

We would like to give those people a link to buy that special ticket, but not allow it to be seen by the general public. Is there a way to do that?

Another good question! I believe this would be possible, but would take a fair amount of custom development to make it happen. For example, you could write a function that targets the specific ID of a ticket and display it only if someone is logged into WordPress and are assigned to a specific role.

Again, that’s another cool feature idea that I think would be worth posting.

The third question is based on the other two being possible, so we already know the answer there. :/

So sorry for the bad news, but does this at least help answer your questions? Please let me know.

Hey David,

Thanks for checking in on this! I do see that we are close to a solution on this one and are planning to release the fix in our next maintenance release, which should be iCal Importer 4.2.1.

I’ve made a note in the ticket for this and will be sure to follow-up with you when the release is available.

Thanks so much for your patience while we work on this!

Geoff

[Geoff]

Shoot, I was hoping that would do the trick!

I’m afraid that it the only workaround for the time being. The other option is to downgrade to an earlier version of the plugins — in this case, probably 4.1.4 for both The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO — while we work on the issue and come out with an official patch.

I’ve noted this thread in the ticket for the issue and will be sure to follow up with you when I know more.

Thanks,
Geoff

Hey Michael,

Thanks for for following up!

How do I get my custom fields to show up in the ECP template

To get the content from an ACF field, you can use the ACF documentation examples as a starting point.

and how do I then get those fields that need to have content added to them by the client show up in the content area of wordpress or in the content area of the plugin admin.

I’m afraid that’s not quite how ACF works and instead it allows you to add custom fields to the content editor rather than to the front end of the website itself.

It’s worth noting that if you are attempting to create custom fields for events and allow visitors to submit events to your calendar with those custom fields included, then our Community Events add-on does that and will work with Event Calendar PRO’s additional fields feature, allowing you to create custom form fields for event submissions.

Then again, perhaps I’m completely missing what you’re going for here, in which case you could help clarify and I’d be happy to keep checking into this with you.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hey Greg,

I see my last reply was marked as the correct answer. I’ll go ahead and close this thread but please feel free to open a new one if any other questions pop up and we’d be more than happy to help.

Thanks again for reaching out and have a great weekend!

Hey Janet,

So sorry for the trouble here!

There is a known issue that we stumbled on in 4.2.1 where the new oEmbed feature for events has conflicted with other embedding methods.

We’re working on a patch for a maintenance release. In the meantime, this snippet has seen success resolving the issue on other sites:

/**
* Avoid a problem with Events Calendar PRO 4.2 which can inadvertently
* break oembeds.
*/
function undo_recurrence_oembed_logic() {
if ( ! class_exists( 'Tribe__Events__Pro__Main' ) ) return;

$pro_object = Tribe__Events__Pro__Main::instance();
$pro_callback = array( $pro_object, 'oembed_request_post_id_for_recurring_events' );

remove_filter( 'oembed_request_post_id', $pro_callback );
}

add_action( 'init', 'undo_recurrence_oembed_logic' );

I’ll note this thread in our ticket for this issue — in the meantime, will this workaround do the trick? Please let me know.

Thanks so much!
Geoff

Hey Adam, welcome to the forums!

Sure, that’s totally possible. In fact, here is a snippet that allows you to set the thumbnail size you would like to use in the Month View tooltip. You can use it to as a blueprint to extend to Week View as well.

https://gist.github.com/geoffgraham/80bd4483e94b44286ffe

Will this work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Ben and welcome back!

Interesting use cases. I do believe our plugins will work here.

For example, The Events Calendar (free) can handle the load of lectures and classes that should not be bookable. You can use event categories to categorize the events as Lectures and Classes.

For the events that are bookable, then you might want to consider Eventbrite Tickets. That would allow you to publish your events on Eventbrite.com, import them into WordPress to The Events Calendar, show tickets for those events, then handle the payments completely offsite on Eventbrite.com.

Another way to do it would be to nix Eventbrite Tickets and simply use the Website URL field in the events editor to link directly to the platform you are using to take payments. In other words, you may be able to get away with only the free version of The Events Calendar and nothing else.

Would either of those options work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey @cathryngray, thanks for following up!

I see what you mean. I’ve this pop up (pun intended) before and it was because of a Javascript conflict between the theme and the plugin.

I see you have tried:

• Deactivated all other plugins? Yes
• Switched to a default theme? Yes

Did you notice any difference in those conditions? For example, did the pop ups work as expected when you switched to the default WordPress Twenty Sixteen theme? Or when you disabled all other non-calendar plugins? How about doing those two together?

The reason I ask just to confirm that what we’re looking at is a conflict rather than a bug in the plugin itself.

Thanks so much!
Geoff
