Hi Folkert,

Thanks for getting in touch and excellent question!

The short answer is no, an installed calendar on one site cannot directly control the calendar of another site, even on the same network.

However, we do have a new plugin called iCal Importer that might do the trick here. It allows you to pull events from one calendar to another and import those either on a manual or scheduled basis. That would allow you to publish your events on one master site and theoretically push them to as many other sites as you would like. I think that’s worth checking out in this case.

Let me know if you have any other questions about iCal Importer or managing multiple calendars and I’d be happy to help!

Howdy Elizabeth City and welcome to the forums!

Shoot, so for the trouble here. I just tried the steps in that article myself and everything seemed to work out. I even tried it using the Twenty Thirteen theme, just like you.

I wonder if perhaps something is quite in place. Will you please go ahead and clear the template override from the article so we can start fresh? Here’s a step-by-step approach of how I got it to work:

• Make a copy of the loop-grid.php template. It is located in /plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/month/loop-grid.php.
• Make a new folder in your Twenty Thirteen theme directory called tribe-events.
• Make a new folder in that one called month.
• Drop the copied loop-grid.php file in that last folder.

Now that the loop-grid.php template is in your theme directory, it can be modified to suit your needs. In this case, replace this (Line 27 for me):

<th id="tribe-events-<?php echo esc_attr( strtolower( $day ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( $day ); ?>" data-day-abbr="<?php echo esc_attr( $wp_locale->get_weekday_abbrev( $day ) ); ?>"><?php echo $day ?></th>

…with this:

<?php $short_day = esc_attr( $wp_locale->get_weekday_abbrev( $day ) ); ?>
<th id="tribe-events-<?php echo esc_attr( strtolower( $day ) ) ?>" title="<?php echo $short_day ?>" data-day-abbr="<?php echo $short_day ?>"><?php echo $day ?></th>

That shortened the days of the week in my Month View from full names to 3-letter abbreviations (screenshot).

Does following that fresh set of steps help make any difference? Please let me know!

Howdy Massimo and welcome to the forums!

First off, nice site. It’s super clean and both the illustrations and typography really go well with orchestras. Awesome job!

I see what you mean with the map on an event post. It’s just a gray box where the map should be and there are no relevant console errors that I see.

If I’m understanding the issue, then you are using a template override for the single-event.php template. Is that correct? It’s strange, but I couldn’t find a custom template for it on your site when looking for it–it seems like you are using the default template, at least in the child theme directory.

The maps do show up in the default Twentythirteen template

This is the key piece of information, one way or another. We should try to narrow the conflict down a bit further here to see what we find:

• Make a backup of the tribe-events folder in your child theme directory and then temporarily remove the folder. Does that make a difference?
• Are there any custom functions in your child theme’s functions.php file? I would try making a backup of that and temporarily removing it like we did in the last step to see if that changes anything.
• Does your child theme have any other scripts, files or templates that could be affecting things? A good thing to look for is any specific file in the child theme that directly overrides or is different from the parent.

And, one more thing to check: are you using the Default Event Template in your Events > Settings > Display options? If not, please switch to that and see if that changes anything.

Let’s start here and see what we find.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi George and thanks for following up!

WooCommerce Tickets will indeed email the tickets a customer purchases once the transaction has been marked as Complete in WooCommerce. The ticket contains the event information and can be used to check people in at the door.

We’re also in the middle of developing a QR code feature for those emails so that you would be able to scan them at the door, which would check people in automatically in The Events Calendar.

Cheers!

Hi Deodhika and thanks for getting in touch.

Absolutely! The Events Calendar PRO includes a number of shortcodes to embed the calendar widgets into any page or post. Here’s a nice overview of how that works for each widget.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know and cheers!

Hi Lee and thanks for checking out The Events Calendar PRO!

PRO itself does not have the capability for visitors to submit events to the calendar, but our Community Events plugin does. That provides a neat setting so that any event that is submitted by a visitors on the front end can be marked Draft or Pending Review on the back end for you to moderate and publish.

Is that what you are looking for? Let me know if I can help clarify anything here and I’d be happy to!

Hi George and thanks for getting in touch!

We do have a few extensions to sell tickets–depending on which ecommerce platform you prefer. For example, WooCommerce Tickets allows you to create and sell tickets for your The Events Calendar event posts with full cart integration for WooCommerce, which handles the transaction and offers a ton of extensions of its own.

Here’s a deeper overview of how our Tickets framework works and what ecommerce platforms it integrates with.

Does that help answer your question? Please feel free to let me know if there’s anything else I can help answer and I’d be happy to!

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Pim and excellent question!

I wish I had a better answer, but it is not currently possible to have a single event with multiple start dates. As you noted, this would require using the Recurring Events feature in PRO, but it sounds like that won’t be a good fit. Plus, recurring events do not currently support tickets (that is coming though), so that’s another strike.

Sorry for the bad news, but does this at least help answer your question? Feel free to let me know if I can help answer anything else and I’d be happy to!

Hey Hannah–nice to see you again. 🙂

Good question. You can absolutely move the calendar around the page. You can either do that by overriding the /views/single-event.php template and rearranging the elements in there.

Same thing for getting rid of the event and venue details, except you’ll find those in the /views/modules/meta.php template.

Please do check out our Themer’s Guidefor a thorough overview of how to override calendar templates–this will help get you started and you can modify the templates from there. 🙂

Cheers!

Rock on, thanks Carmine! That looks like a solid solution to me and I appreciate you sharing it here with the community.

I know we’re working on some refinements in 3.12 which ships soon, so please be sure to check that out when it’s available to see if that helps some of the lifting as well.

Cheers and thanks again!

Hey Alain,

Just a heads up that we were able to pin down the issue here and we are in the middle of testing a fix that will go out with our 3.12 update, which is right around the corner.

I’m going to close this thread in the meantime. We’ll follow-up when 3.12 ships but please do keep your eyes open for it as well. 🙂

Thanks again for the heads up!

Geoff

[Geoff]

My pleasure and thanks for letting me know! I’ll go ahead and close this thread but please do feel free to hit us up with a new one if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Tom, thanks for following up!

Yes, it does indeed appear that site is using The Events Calendar and that the homepage has a custom query for those events.

That’s actually a pretty straightforward customization–add the tribe_get_events() function to the homepage template and use it to loop through upcoming events, only displaying the featured image. We have a tutorial on how that function works that I think you’ll find helpful. 🙂

Did you have any other questions here about the plugin that I can help answer? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Right on and my pleasure! Thanks again for reaching out. 🙂
