Hi there Paul,

The option where you put a widgetised sidebar on the home page doesnt give this option of an event list

You should be able to go to Appearance > Widgets and see “Event List” as one of the widgets listed under “Available Widgets” in the left column of the screen (screenshot). That comes bundled with your copy of Events Calendar PRO, so make sure that plugin is installed and activated.

So how do i get this widget with event list only on one page?

You may need to create a widget area in your theme specifically for the template you want the event list on and possibly a template just for that page to assign that widget area to. Here is the information on how to do that on the WordPress Codex.

Cheers!

Awesome, thanks for adding that feature idea!

I’m going to go ahead and close this thread but I really appreciate you taking the time to suggest that feature. Please feel free to hit us back up if any other questions pop up. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi there Peter,

Is it possible that you have edited those single instances that are displayed dashes? Doing so will remove them from the recurring series and make them their own non-recurring event.

[Geoff]

My pleasure! Thanks for getting in touch and confirming the answer. 🙂

Hi there Gavin, thanks for getting in touch!

The form in the header above the calendar is controlled by the #tribe-bar-form ID, so you could try adding the following to your stylesheet:

#tribe-bar-form {
background: #a1c3d9;
}

The view toggle to the right of the form uses a different class:

.tribe-bar-views-inner

That should get you where you need to go, but you can also check out our Themer’s Guide (specifically the Customizing Styles section) for more details on customizing the calendar appearance.

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

Cheers!

The start and end time/dates for each ticket can be set when creating the ticket in the single event editing screen. Here’s a screenshot that highlights the fields.

Hi there Alicia, thanks for getting in touch!

Great question. Unfortunately, embedding the event calendar on external websites is not something that is currently supported. I think I saw the forum topic you may have been referring to, but it was regarding how to embed the calendar on another page of the same website, rather than another website altogether.

Does that help answer your question? Please let me know and thanks again for bringing it up!

Thanks for the heads up, Ami! Our team will follow-up with you when the application has been received and reviewed. If you have any questions about the application process, please feel free to email us at pro [at] tri.be and we’d be happy to answer.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread in the meantime, but we appreciate the heads up. 🙂

Thanks again!

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

Excluding categories from the main event loop is certainly possible, though it will take some customization on your end to make it happen. You might be interested in our Themer’s Guide to override the month.php template and the arguments for the tribe_show_month function, which works a lot like WP_Query and accepts many of the same terms.

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

Cheers!

Hi there, Fazil! Glad the ticket box is showing up. 🙂

It’s certainly odd that it would appear later after the event has been published. Did you set the ticket(s) to go on sale at a specific date and time?

Cheers!

Hi there Peter, nice to see you again. 🙂

When importing an Event csv file, in the Column Mapping, can we add Venue as well in the Column Headings?

Yes, you can add a column for Event Venue Name, which will map to the proper venue that has been created with the same name. Here’s a screenshot of what that looks like when importing.

When importing Venue csv file, in the Column Mapping – website is not listed in the drop down menu. It would be great to add links to the club / school websites via mapping in the csv import?

Totally agree. That would be an awesome feature to support. If you have a moment, would you mind add that to our UserVoice page? We check there frequently for popular feature ideas to roll into upcoming releases. I can see how that one would be useful and popular.

Cheers!

Thanks, Craig. Looking at the sidebar plugin information, it looks like it able to work on a per post basis. If that is the case, then you would be able to select a sidebar per event post entry. Admittedly, I’m unfamiliar with that particular plugin, but if it supposed to work on a per post (or per category, tag, archive, etc.) basis, then that should extend to the event post type as well.

Cheers!

Hi there, Gary! There are great questions, so thanks for brining them up. 🙂

1) Ability to sort by TICKET TYPE (if I have three tickets for one event, I want to be able to sort them so I will see them listed in that manner…a block of tickets for ticket type 1, ticket type 2 etc)

The ability to sort the tickets isn’t something we currently support on the front or back end. However, that’s a really great idea. If you have a moment, would you mind suggesting that feature on our UserVoice page? I can see how that might be a popular request and we check there often for popular ideas to work into upcoming releases.

2) Can I show a longer description on the main events page under TICKETS, or make it so that the user clicks something to open the ticket choice and see a longer description?

Are you referring to the description in the Tickets box on a single event (screenshot)? If so, the Ticket Description field on the editing screen (screenshot) can be as long or short as you would like. Adding the ability to show and hide the description on the front end would take a bit of customization of the tickets.php file (see our Themer’s Guide for more information on customizing templates), but that is definitely a possibility.

3) Can events with tickets be cloned?

Duplicating events isn’t available out of the box. However, you can create a recurring event, which will automatically created separate event posts for each instance in the recurring series. From there, you could edit each individual event and remove it from the recurring series. Kind of a hack, but it would work. 🙂

4) How do I customize the confirmation page at the end of the order and the email the user receives as confirmation (and the actual tickets) so it has links and other info I want to provide.

The confirmation page is in the WooCommerce settings under WooCommerce > Settings > Checkout Pages. You can set that to any page that has been published to your site, so that’s highly customizable as far as content or creating your own template.

The template for the email ticket is email.php (/wootickets/views/wootickets/tickets.php). You can create a theme override for this file to customize it. Here is a direct link to the documentation for the TribeWooTicketsEmail class that you can use to customize it even further.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know and thanks for asking them. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi there, Craig!

The first suggestion was to see if the Genesis Simple Sidebars has options to extend it’s functionality to custom post types. That would still give you what you’re looking for, if it is capable of taking that kind of setting.

The second suggestion of setting the calendar to a theme-specific template could also work if the Genesis plugin/framework is looking for that template to extend the sidebar functionality.

You’re right about the option of using a theme override. That would likely just create the same sidebar instance for all events.

It sounds like the Genesis Simple Sidebars plugin may not be compatible with the tribe_events post type. Our plugin extends the same wp_post functionality that is default in WordPress, so it appears that the plugin is looking for something Genesis-specific.

We try to make our plugins compatible with as many themes and plugins as possible, but unfortunately not everything can be supported. If none of the above suggestions do the trick, you may want to contact the plugin author to see if it’s possible to extend the sidebar functionality to the tribe_events post type. Is that a possibility?

Thanks!
Geoff

[Geoff]

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

Are you using one of your theme’s templates to display the calendar? You can check under Events > Settings > Display > Events Template. If so, please try selecting “Default Events Template” and see if the menu is still highlighting both items.

If that doesn’t work, are you able to activate the default WordPress Theme (e.g. Twenty Fourteen) to see if the issue is still there?

Thanks!
Geoff
