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

Great question. The right eCommerce solution probably depends on (1) what features you’re looking for and (2) which would integrate the best with your business/site. The good news is that the Modern Tribe integrations for all of them (WooCommerce, WPEC and Shopp) are all the same as far as what they do: add ticket-selling functionality to single events. That means our plugins will integrate cleanly with any of the eCommerce solutions you are considering.

I think any of the plugins we integrate with would be ideal for ticket-selling capabilities. You could take any of them for a test drive and see which you prefer based on giving them a try. From there, our plugins can be integrated to extend the functionality to the calendar.

Here are the plugins we offer and their corresponding eCommerce plugin:

• <span style=”line-height: 13px;”>WooCommerce Tickets = WooCommerce</span>
• WPEC Tickets = WPEC
• Shopp Tickets = Shopp

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

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi there, Michelle! Thanks for getting in touch. These are great questions, so let’s tackle them one at a time.

have a single page theme, and would like to integrate the calendar into the homepage (not a sidebar or url redirect). From my research it looks like I would need to use the experimental plugin Event Rocket to do this, is that true?

Yes, that is correct. We don’t currently provide shortcodes right out of the box, but the Event Rocket plugin will make that work. Event Rocket is a third-party plugin we don’t officially support, but I have seen it used to do this successfully and have used it myself. It’s a nice plugin. 🙂

Additionally, I’d love to feature the events (shows) listing on the homepage in the form of images with a small amount of text below.

The core plugin comes with a couple of different event views (month and list) and PRO adds a few more (week, map, photo). It sounds like you might be interested in the photo view (see this screenshot), but it’s also possible to create your own custom layouts by creating theme overrides. I’d suggest checking out our Themer’s Guide to get an idea of all the ways that the calendar can be customized to fit your needs. There’s a section specifically on customizing templates that you might find interesting.

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

Cheers!

Hi there Mark, thanks for following up and confirming the issue! And again, setting up the test site was really awesome. 🙂

I’m glad this worked out. I’m going to go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to kit us up if any other questions or issues pop up.

Cheers!

Thanks, Wilfrid! I’m glad this answers the question, even though it might be tough for you to implement.

The good news is that you have steps that you can give someone to help you make it work. You can also always open a thread here in the forums if you try to do it yourself and have a question about the documentation as you work. We’re always happy to help. 🙂

I’m going to go ahead and close this thread, but please don’t hesitate to start a new know if you run into any other questions.

Cheers!

Thanks for confirming the answer and I hope you enjoy the PRO plugin! I’m going to go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to open up a new one if you run into any questions.

Cheers!

Thanks for confirming the answer, Teri! Please feel free to let us know if any other questions come up. We’d also love to see the calendar on your site once you’ve set it up. 🙂

Hey there! It looks like you’re using the WPML plugin. Can you confirm that is the case and did you definitely try deactivating it? There are known compatibility issues with WPML and that could explain the strange behavior.

Hi there Johanna, sorry for the delay. Our support hours are closed over the weekend but we do make it a point to reply within one business day. 🙂

Thanks for the link, that’s super helpful!  I wasn’t able to pin it down to something that can be fixed in the plugin’s CSS. The CSS in your theme is overriding the table styles for the widget and that the grid layout used by the theme has an issue displaying tables in the sidebar. For example, the .tribe-mini-calendar-wrapper class for the plugin fits the column perfectly (see the shaded area in this screenshot) but the table is allowed to extend past the column.

The CSS for the plugin sets the calendar widget to 100%, which means it will automatically fill 100% of the space it is provided. That leads me to believe that there is something else going on in your theme’s CSS that is overriding that from fitting properly.

Are you comfortable working with your theme’s CSS to pin down where that is happening? Unfortunately, I was unable to o it from my end, but perhaps the person who created the grid layout knows exactly where to look.

Thanks for confirming the answer, Melinda! I’m going to go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to open a new one up if there’s anything else we can help you with.

Thanks for confirming the conflict, Marian!

Man, it’s super weird that theme works fine with the core plugin but starts acting up when the pro version is activated on top of it. We try to support as many themes as possible but it looks like there’s something about this one that is causing the conflict.

Have you tried reaching out to the theme author? They may have a better idea of what’s causing the conflict since I’m unfamiliar with this particular theme.

I’ve seen something like this happen before when there’s a jQuery conflict, such as having it called twice. You could try using the wp_dequeue_script() function to remove scripts on this specific page to see if removing some of the theme’s scripts clears it up. Additionally, here is a list of all our scripts and their corresponding handles.

You may also be able to overcome it by creating a new page template specifically for the calendar and pointing to it in Events > Settings > Display. However, that might just duplicate the issue rather than getting to the route cause of it since the conflict appears to be in the theme.

Sorry I don’t have more concrete information for you, but does that help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Thanks!
Geoff

Awesome! Please keep us posted. 🙂

[Geoff]

Thanks for the follow-up, Michael! I’m so glad we were able to work on the CSS portion of this together and now we’ll get on to the thread about the the events disappearing.

[Geoff]

Hi there Wilfrid,

Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any examples of customizations that add a button to the events listing like that and it’s not something we have on hand.

Although I’m unable to do it for you, I will break down how you would do it. You’ll need to create two theme overrides, so be sure to check out our Themer’s Guide on how to do that before getting started. 🙂

1) Add an anchor tag to the ticket box.

You can create a theme override for the tickets.php template and add the anchor tag to the top of the ticket table:

<a id="buy-now"></a>

2) Create a link to the anchor on the event list view

You’ll create another theme override for the list/single-event.php template and place the link to the anchor where you would like it to appear:

<a href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link() ?>#buy-now" title="Buy Now" rel="bookmark">Buy Now</a>

Will this help you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Thanks for your understanding, Paolo. What we mean by a “real person” is someone you can hire to help with a customization. We use the forums here to help with bugs and issues related to plugin rather than customizations.

Going back to Rob’s questions, do you know who built the overrides for you? I understand that PHP isn’t in your comfort zone, but it looks those customizations are what is causing the issue and having that person who wrote them remove them is going to be your best bet.

The other option is to work with a clean install of the plugin without overrides to get the default date separator functionality to work. That will re-allow you to use the settings under Events > Settings > Display to get what you’re looking for.

I’m sorry I’m unable to do the custom work for you, but these options will get you there. Let me know if I can clarify them any further and I’d be happy to! 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff

Are you able to send me a link to the page you’re referring to? I’d like to check it out and see if I can pinpoint it there. Thanks!
