Hi there, Andrea! Thanks for getting in touch. 🙂

Great question. The short answer is that sorting events by date submission in the Admin view isn’t currently a feature that is supported by the plugin. The longer answer is that it is probably possible, but with a hefty amount of customization and coding that could get complex pretty quickly. If that’s something you feel comfortable tackling, I’d suggest checking out the Community Events documentation as a starting point.

I honestly haven’t tested any plugins that could help make this happen, but here is a search of plugins to get you started.

If this is a feature you would like us to consider in an upcoming release, I’d encourage you to submit it to our UserVoice page. We check there for popular ideas to work into future releases.

I’m sorry I don’t have a concrete solution for you, but does this help answer your question?

Cheers!

Hi there, Sarah! Thanks for getting in touch and sorry that you’re hitting some trouble with image uploads in Community Events. Hopefully we can figure it out here together. 🙂

It’s certainly odd that images would be break when uploaded using the Community form. It’s even more odd that it only seems to happen for certain events.

I’ve been trying to recreate the issue myself but have been unable to. I’m using the latest version of the Community Events plugin (3.8.2) with the latest versions of The Events Calendar and PRO (3.8.1). Can you confirm that you are also using the latest versions.

I noticed that the images seem to work in List view, but not in a Single Event view. For example, the image for the 2014 Vital Signs Launch event works when it is in list view here, but not when viewing the actual event.

What’s interesting is that the image URL is different in each case. Here it is when it works in List view:

http://www.queensevents.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/FB-Logo1-250×250.jpg

And here it is in the Single Event view when it is not working:

http://i0.wp.com/www.queensevents.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/FB-Logo1.jpg?resize=288%2C288

Notice that the second URL is both prepending “io.wp.com/” and appending “?resize=288%2C288” to the image.

Are you running any additional plugins that would cause this to happen? For example, I see you are running the Jetpack Photon add on, which could have an impact here. Can you try disabling that to see if it makes a difference?

Give that a shot and let me know what you find. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey there, Calum! Thanks for following up. 🙂

A similar approach to the one I shared is detailed a little more thoroughly in this post:
http://gregorypearcey.com/blog/add-tribe-events-search-bar-home-page/

It focuses on placing the bar only on the homepage, but it gives you an idea of how it could work on any other page as well.

jordan0296, it looks like the original approach I outlined was actually working for you as well, but you may not have correctly added the snippet to your functions.php file. Note that you may need to remove the opening and closing PHP brackets in the snippet when you place it in there. A blank screen implies a PHP formatting issue rather than the snippet not working. 🙂

It’s that snippet that will add the design elements you said were missing.

I’m going to continuing answer Calum’s questions in this thread since she originally opened it. Anyone else is certainly welcome to follow along but, if you are experiencing your own issue, I suggest opening up a new thread so we can concentrate on one question at a time. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey there, Mike! Thanks for following up. 🙂

Oh OK, I did not recognize that Kelly had the event categories in the main menu. I tried that too but is not suitable for my site. My main menu is too crowded already. I there another way other than the filter bar? Or do I need custom coding for that?

The Filter Bar is still your best way if you want to keep the categories out of your menu, but placing the categories in a submenu would be equally effective if you are willing and have room to add one more item to your menu.

Is there a way to keep the month chosen by the user on the screen when they go to a sub menu?

That’s an interesting idea. The challenging this is that it involves the WordPress menu functionality rather than what the plugin provides, so the customization would likely have to be focused there instead. Again, this is what the Filter Bar add on was designed to do and may be worth looking into.

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

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing the link! That’s super helpful. 🙂

What you’re seeing in the tutorial is the main menu of the site. Kelly had added specific Event Categories to the main menu, which you can do as well by heading over to Appearance > Menus in your WordPress admin.

Here’s a handy tutorial that goes a little deeper into how to do this.

Cheers!

Hi there, Mike! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome back to the forums. 🙂

I was unable to locate the tutorial you’re referring to, but I think there are a couple of way you could make this happen:

1) Try the Filter Bar add on. This allows your visitors to filter events and narrow them down by lots of variables, including categories. This would be the easiest way to get what you’re looking for.

2) Hook into tribe_events_inside_before_loop(). You can use this function to add content above the month view grid. Here’s a snippet of what that might look like. It will need to be modified to suite your needs, but it should point you in the right direction. Also be sure to check out our Themer’s Guide and Documentation for more information on customizing the calendar templates.

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

Cheers!

Great, thanks for following up!

If you’re looking for a good overview of how to use the Filter Bar, then here’s a nice guide that’s easy to understand. I know customization and code can be confusing, so hopefully this helps take the edge off. 🙂

I’m going to go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other questions pop up. We’d be happy to help. 🙂

Hi Nicole! Nice to see you again. 🙂

Good question. I know it can be confusing, but the calendar is technically not a page in WordPress. It displays like one, but does not register as a page that can be edited in the WordPress dashboard.

If you’re looking to add the calendar to your site’s menu, I’d suggest checking out this handy tutorial. It covers how to do this nicely.

Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Hi there, Nicole! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. 🙂

Unfortunately, the plugin does not support multiple calendars as a feature. It’s a single calendar that displays all event posts.

However, you might be interested in checking out our Filter Bar add on. This adds a bar to the calendar and has an option that allows visitors to filter events be a specific distance, based on the location of the event. That sounds pretty close to what you’re looking for and may be worth checking out.

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

Cheers!
