Heck yeah, that’s awesome to hear! Well, not the fact that sizing was off on other screen sizes but that it led to the ultimate fix. 🙂

Cheers and thanks for following up on that!

Hi Aamir,

Thanks for following up!

The Events Calendar will create the calendar page for you. If you’re having trouble finding it, navigate over to Events > Settings from the WordPress dashboard and it will provide you with a link to the calendar. Here’s a screenshot of where to find it.

And, yes, there is a way to accept credit card payments for tickets. You’ll need our free Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus plugins to get started. That will allow you to create paid tickets for events and connect them to WooCommerce, which provides the functionality for accepting credit card purchases for paid transactions.

Cheers!
Geoff

Great websites are often the result of great collaboration. 🙂

All the links you mentioned in there ought to be selectable on their own in CSS. This might be the exact case on your site, but this should give you an idea of what I mean:

/* The "View All" link in the List Widget */
.tribe-events-adv-list-widget .tribe-events-widget-link a {
color: orange;
}

/* Links in the Main Content of an Event */
.tribe-events-content a {
color: green;
}

/* Month View Event Title Links */
h3.tribe-events-month-event-title a {
color: purple;
}

It’s mostly about finding the right parent class/selector that allows you to distinguish one element from another. A pretty efficient way to test those changes on the fly is to use a browser’s DevTools.

I hope this helps!

Nice catch, Hans! You ever consider joining our QA team? 🙂

I did find an existing ticket for this in our system and have added this thread to it. Doesn’t look like the ticket is set for a specific release, but I’ll mark this thread Pending Fix and we’ll certainly let you know when there’s been progress.

Thanks so much, as always!

Hi Hans,

You are absolutely correct! Thanks so much for the heads up — I’ve created a ticket for us to look this for a future maintenance release and we’ll certainly follow-up with you when something is ready to ship.

I’ll mark this thread Pending Fix in the meantime.

Cheers!

Hi Yoni,

Is it safe to assume you’re writing in from Long Beach, CA? If so, howdy neighbor. 🙂

You’re absolutely correct: Community Events does not allow you to charge for event submissions. It is certainly something that we are interested in doing down the road, but have not set it on our roadmap. It certainly could be something a decent developer can accomplish, but I imagine it will require a lot of custom development — at least, that’s what we’ve realized in our early planning for it.

What if I want to allow the user to create an “organisor” and thereafter all events he adds are assigned as the organisor.

Yes, Community Events does indeed allow folks to create an organizer for a submitted event. What it does not support, however, is making that organizer the default for when that specific person submits future events to the calendar. That organizer will be saved though and available to use for future events.

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

Cheers!

Hi Hans,

Glad to see you’re putting the Filter Bar license to good use already. 🙂

You know, I’d be interested in digging into this a little more. I haven’t personally seen reports of confusion reported here in the forums or our user testing experiments, but there’s always room for improvement.

Would you be willing to post this idea to our feature request forum? And, when you do, it would be super helpful to perhaps provide a rough sketch or two of how you see that working with the existing layout, or a revised version of it. That will give us some fuel for a good discussion and allow other folks to vote on the outcome as well.

A couple of other things to consider in your post:

• Highlighting fields once the search runs
• Helper text that summarizes the filtering criteria after the results are returned
• How this would be affected in both horizontal and vertical layout

Thanks so much!
Geoff

Hey Hans!

Man, it’s been a little while since I’ve looked at your site — awesome work. 🙂

Ah, yes, I see what you mean. CSS will definitely be the best way to clean that up. Give this a try:

.tribe-bar-submit {
width: 36%;
}

Here’s a screenshot of how that looks when I test it out on your site.

Cheers!

Hi Rob,

Do you happen to know where the discounted price data is coming from? Is that a custom field from Events Calendar PRO or something that is configured with another plugin?

Once you know where and how to fetch that data, you can override the List View template (using the same sort of process we chatted about in another thread) to add the code for the discounted price.

The exact template you would override is:
/the-events-calendar/src/views/list/single-event.php

Once you’re in the template, you can strikethrough the original cost by changing this:

<span><?php echo tribe_get_cost( null, true ); ?></span>

… to this:

<span><strike><?php echo tribe_get_cost( null, true ); ?></strike></span>

Cheers!

Hi Ronald, welcome back to the forums!

So sorry for the trouble here with adding the start date to the RSS feed.

I think it’s worth noting the warning that is stated in the tutorial for that snippet:

Important Note: RSS feeds do not offer support for event fields (like start and end times), and probably never will. The following event fields are based upon a draft RSS event spec that was last updated in 2002. The draft appears abandoned, and even the purl.org namespace now 404s. Given the age of RSS and that it is widely being replaced by newer formats, it is likely that no official event namespace will ever come to RSS. Thus adding these fields has a fairly limited utility, and they will not be viewable or of much use in many RSS readers.

In other words, it’s likely that the RSS method is simply unable to support the snippet any longer, despite the fact that you have placed the snippet correctly in your site’s functions.php file.

If your other site is managed in WordPress and is also using The Events Calendar, one thing you might want to consider is using our Event Aggregator tool (which is already bundled in The Events Calendar) to automatically sync events from one site to another.

Sorry for the bad news, but does this at least help answer your question? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Geoff

Hi Olli,

Absolutely! Events Calendar PRO has a feature we call recurring events where you create one event that repeats as often as you’d like and the settings for recurring events allow you to specify a different start date for each recurring instance.

Here is a complete guide on how recurring events works, including a step-by-step overview of the settings:

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

Cheers!

Hello Nauman and thanks so much for getting in touch!

Great questions — let’s answer them in the order they were asked…

1. Allow RSVP to events. Yes, this is possible with our free plugin, Event Tickets. It will allow you to add RSVPs to the events you create with The Events Calendar.

2. Allow Front-End Submissions by user (WITH RSVP and number of “seats” available). Yes, you can accept event submissions with the Community Events plugin. That will allow others to submit events to The Events Calendar from the front-end of your site and create RSVPs when Event Tickets is also installed.

3. Display the Calendar in USER TIMEZONE, when viewing events. I am afraid this is not a supported feature with our plugins.

4. Attendance List (RSVP) visible to everyone. Yes, our Event Tickets Plus plugin includes a feature that will display the avatar of everyone who has registered for an event. You can also toggle this setting off if you would prefer not to display attendees for certain events.

5. The Attendance List links to individual profiles of members. This is another feature that our plugins do not currently support. Event Tickets Plus can display the attendees who are registered for an event, but will not link to an attendees profile for public view.

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

Thanks!
Geoff

Hello Aamir,

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m really glad to hear you’ve enjoyed using The Events Calendar and are considering adding Events Calendar PRO to your site. 🙂

Yes, Events Calendar PRO does include the ability to add custom fields to events. This guide provides a full overview of how those work:

Creating Additional Fields

If you would like to filter events by the custom fields you create, then you will want the Filter Bar plugin as well. It adds a series of filters that can be used to narrow the events that are displayed in the calendar, including filtering by custom fields.

I am afraid that none of our plugins will allow you to customize the map pin in the plugin settings. The map does use Google Maps, however, so it is very possible that it can be achieved, though it would take a bit of custom development to make it happen.

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

Thanks!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Great question, Nick.

If you want to allow visitors to submit events to your calendar, then you will need to purchase our Community Events plugin as well.

That brings your list to:

• The Events Calendar (free)
• Event Ticket (free)
• Event Tickets Plus
• Community Events

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Hi Simon, hope you’re doing well!

No, I am afraid that none of the calendar widgets can be embedded into any website like a Google Calendar widget. The widgets can indeed be embedded on any page or post on your WordPress site where The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO are installed, but no where else.

Yes, you can get the iCal URL for a specific category. And, yes, you can assign a category to an event at the time it is imported using Event Aggregator.

Cheers!
Geoff
