Hey @Vince,

Thanks for reaching out!

The _EventStartDate meta field itself is never displayed anywhere in its raw format.

This format is a specific format that is then converted into various display formats elsewhere in the calendar – and so a significant amount of core functionality relies on the format of the _EventStartDate meta field.

In other words: no, you cannot change this field’s formatting. Not easily, at least. And for good reason – the meta field is for use inside the plugin code, it is never displayed in its “raw” format. But this “raw” format is very useful for other features of the code.

I hope this answer isn’t too vague – please let me know if it helps at all, and what your thoughts are in regards to all of this.

Thanks!
George

Hey @onlinecreative,

I’m sorry to bear this news, but we are not able to help with customizations here 🙁

Normally we try to help as much as possible, but this customization is quite complex, and merging two whole calendar views is a big set of changes to make. There’s unfortunately little insight we can offer and cannot review your code 🙁

I’m very sorry to disappoint, and genuinely wish you the best of luck with your customization project here.

However, the best I can recommend is:

1. Consult our knowledgebase articles like this one: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

2. Activate WP_DEBUG on your site to reveal PHP errors if they exist; if they do, fix each error one at a time and see if any behavior improves.

3. Hire a customizer to help if you need or want the help – we have a list of some here for reference: http://m.tri.be/18k1

I will close up this thread for now because we cannot help with this customization, but please open a new thread any time if a technical support question arises.

Examples of that are elaborated upon in the “Product Support” section of our terms and conditions → http://theeventscalendar.com/terms

Sincerely,
George

Hi @Nicolas,

You are using WooCommerce Tickets version 3.9.1, which is very outdated. As long as you have this outdated version of that software installed, the error will persist.

I would recommend updating to Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus – Event Tickets is free and Event Tickets Plus is our new premium add-on that replaces WooCommerce Tickets.

Here’s a knowledgebase article that covers this process in more detail: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/moving-to-event-tickets-plus/

I hope that information helps and that once you update this issue is resolved 🙂

Cheers!
George

Thanks @Christoffer!

I wrote a little snippet that works well for me – here’s an example of how to do this. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file and let me know if it helps:


add_action( 'tribe_events_event_schedule_details_inner', 'tribe_pris_field_example' );

function tribe_pris_field_example( $inner ) {

$fields = tribe_get_custom_fields( get_the_ID() );
$price = 0;

foreach ( $fields as $key => $field ) {
if ( 'Pris' == $key )
$price = $fields[ $key ];
}

return $price . ' | ' . $inner;
}


Cheers,
George

Thank you! 😀

You can definitely update on development and staging without issue. If you want to udpate a site that doesn’t have the license key entered into it, then you can also just manually perform the update yourself by getting the latest file versions from http://theeventscalendar.com/my-account/downloads and performing the update manually. There should be no issue with that 🙂

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
George

Thank you Brian!

I took a look at this URL but could not find the sort of “repeating” field you mentioned (where users can add fields or subtract fields) – have you temporarily disabled this field there because it’s broken or something?

If so, then is there any way you could make the field visible for now, and tell us which specific field has this CSS issue you are describing?

I’m really sorry about requesting so much clarification and such here – I just want to make sure I can actually see your issue live so that I can best help out 🙂

Thank you for your patience!
George

Thanks Tony!

In both cases in that file where you see this:

TribeWooTickets::get_instance()

I would recommend changing that to this:

Tribe__Tickets__Tickets::get_instance()

How do things behave after doing this? NOTE: This will require the new Event Tickets plugin to be active.

Thanks for this!

Do you happen to have ANY custom templates for The Events Calendar in your theme?

[George]

Thank you for elaborating here!

Changing the widget sufficiently to show past events is indeed, unfortunately, a bit tricky 🙁

It can be done, though. Basically, you’d need to alter the query arguments for the call of tribe_get_events() that powers the event display in the list widget.

That call, in the plugin code, looks like this:


self::$posts = tribe_get_events(
apply_filters(
'tribe_events_list_widget_query_args', array(
'eventDisplay' => 'list',
'posts_per_page' => self::$limit,
'tribe_render_context' => 'widget',
)
)
);


So, you can change those arguments by using that filter in your theme’s functions.php file. So you could add like this to your theme’s functions.php file, for example, to change the ‘posts_per_page’ ( which is the number of events ) to 20:


add_filter( 'tribe_events_list_widget_query_args', 'tribe_support_1039082' );

function tribe_support_1039082( $args ) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 20;
return $args;
}


That example is simple – just changing the number of events that will show up.

But now the tricky part: changing the order of events to include past ones.

The whole customization here is far outside the scope of support we can provide for customizations, unfortunately, but in general you would want to read up on the tribe_get_events() function and on the WP_Query class as listed here respectively:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/
• https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

—

First step would be to make the ‘eventDisplay’ argument be ‘custom’, which will just make the query easier to work with:


add_filter( 'tribe_events_list_widget_query_args', 'tribe_support_1039082' );

function tribe_support_1039082( $args ) {
$args['eventDisplay'] = 'custom';
return $args;
}


Then, you could start adding meta_query arguments from WP_Query to start specifying which event start dates should be included in the query. You can get started reading about this here → https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Custom_Field_Parameters

I’m sorry if all of this information is still too vague; it’s a complicated customization, unfortunately. If you are in dire need of this feature on your site and are willing to hire someone to implement this for you, one more thing that might be helpful is this list of highly-rated customizers that we maintain → http://m.tri.be/18k1

I hope this all helps! 😀

Sincerely,
George

Yes, it would change the permalinks – no worries if you cannot risk this at this time. In this case though, the next best step I can recommend would be to contact your web host.

Hey there,

I’m sorry to hear about this. Can you link to a specific event page on your site where the header is small?

This will take custom CSS to fix, unfortunately, but I should be able to share that with you to get you started on a fix 🙂

Cheers,
George

[George]

Hi there,

This is indeed possible but only with customization 🙁

I went into a bit more detail about how one might make this customization over in this thread → https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/does-pro-calendar-offer-you-to-put-a-different-url-link-on-find-out-more/

Check that out for some ideas! I hope it helps.

With these general principles and some custom code tweaking of your own, you should be able to make something useful for your client.

Best of luck with your customizing!
