Hey Lia,

This is unfortunately not possible by default with our plugins at this time; i.e. there’s no built-in option or method for doing this. 🙁

I hope that answers your question; let me know if that’s the case and/or if there’s anything else I can help with!

Thank you,
George

Hey @David!

I just responded to your other thread, which is also related to some CSS changes for your widgets display → https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/change-minical-to-show-next-3-events-instead-of-3-events-in-the-selected-month/

The answer to your border-related question on this current thread here could change based on the outcome of your other thread that I linked to above – I’ll close up this thread so that we can we move all of your widget-related questions to that one thread for the sake of keeping things organized, which will help us help you faster.

Based on what works for the problem in your thread, the answer to this border question might change, but in general your use of :last-child is not far off at all. I’ll share custom code in that other thread once we sort out which “upcoming events” themselves will display.

Thank you! See you over in your other thread 🙂

Hey David,

This indeed possible but would unfortunately custom coding to achieve 🙁 If you’d like to customize the core widget code directly, that is a customization that’s a bit too far outside the scope of our support forums for us to help very much.

However, some simpler methods might be to just “fake” this effect by having a Mini-Calendar widget and then add the “Upcoming Events” widget below it; then, use CSS to hide the events list in the Mini-Calendar, so that the unchanging “Upcoming Events” widget displays instead. You could achieve this with CSS like this:


.tribe-mini-calendar-wrapper .tribe-mini-calendar-list-wrapper {
display: none !important;
}


You might need further CSS to get the display of things “just right” on your site from there, but this hopefully get you started! 🙂

Cheers,
George

Hey Paul,

Sorry this isn’t working on your site! I have two ideas for getting started on the troubleshooting here:

1. Does using tag instead of the plural tags make any difference?
2. Does updating to the latest versions of our plugins make any difference here? (The versions are 3.12.1 for The Events Calendar and just 3.12 for everything else)

Let us know what you find here!

Thank you,
George

I’m sorry this isn’t working, @MIKE – for starters, I think you’ll have much better luck using the new method for doing this which is described (with example code) in the knowledgebase article here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/relabeling-the-venue-organizer-sections-in-event-meta/

That should make a difference – let me know if it does, or if your List Widget still seems to not be affected. If this is latter situation is the case, then I’d recommend that you share your System Information if possible (learn how to do that here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/).

Cheers!

Hey @CHARLES,

I’m really sorry to hear about all these problems on your site – hopefully we can at least figure out what’s causing everything here.

For starters, you mention having done this on your site:

I’ve disabled every plugin I have changed themes several times.

1. If possible, can you please put your site back in that state, where The Events Calendar and Community Events are the only active plugins on your site, and your site’s active theme is a default one like Twenty Twelve?

2. Did this problem occur in previous versions? Or did it only appear after updating to the most recent 3.12.x versions of The Events Calendar and Community Events?

3. Once your site is in the state described in Step 1 above, can you to your site’s wp-config.php file and change this line of code:

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

to this:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

4. Finally, once your site is in the state described in Step 1, and you’ve made the wp-config.php change in step 3, can you then make sure your site’s permalinks are using “Pretty Permalinks” like /%postname%/ or something similar, and then head to your /events/ page and your Community Submission page? See if any PHP errors pop up while doing so, and paste them here if so…

These steps will give us a really solid base for further troubleshooting here, and may reveal some very useful information. Let us know what you find!

Thank you,
George

Hey @xrossglobalgroup,

This sounds like a pretty cool feature! I unfortunately don’t know of any plugin that would enable something like this specifically, but a plugin may not even be needed – while well outside the scope of support we can provide on the forums, unfortunately, this customization may only require the following things:

• a new custom post type called “testimonials” → https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
• some customizations to various views of The Events Calendar which will display these testimonials on event pages, which you can learn about here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/
• a custom page template which will show “all testomonials” → https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/page-templates/

Just some ideas – I hope they’re helpful! 🙂

Hey @gsacarleton,

I’m sorry to hear about this ! I unfortunately was not able to re-create these problems on my testing site, so I’m wondering if there is a theme for plug-in code conference on your site…

For now I would recommend running through the steps laid out in this article → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

These steps will help reveal if there’s a conflict, or will at least confirm that there isn’t one.

Let me know if you can run through these steps, and if so, what you find!

Thank you,
George

Hey @Stephan,

Unfortunately, this is not possible without some extensive code customization. 🙁

We normally try and help with customizations as much as possible, but unfortunately the code and methods required to enable the behavior you described are a bit outside the scope of support we can provide.

I’m sorry to bear that bad news – please let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!

[George]

Thanks for this @Robert! I notice right away that you’re using version 3.11 of the iCal Importer – we’re now at version 3.12, can you try update to that and see if it makes any difference with your issues?

Thank you!

[George]

Hey @Mad Dog,

I’m sorry to continue to bear bad news, but I’ve tried for almost more than a half hour now and cannot get the Organizer Email field to work for this – it indeed did work in the past, but I think our new “multiple organizers” features in The Events Calendar core (which is where Community Events gets its core code from) has broken this ability to require “sub-fields” like Organizer Email or Venue City.

I’m really sorry about this, but if there’s any good news here is that’s your thread has brought this up on our radar and I will thus create a dev ticket for it immediately. We can then get a developer to take a closer look at all this and, if there’s indeed a code-side limitation like there appears to be, then we can proceed to releasing a fix for it.

I don’t have an ETA when such a fix would be made available, but I will create the ticket for this bug and speak up about the importance of this feature.

Let me know what you think about all of this, and thank YOU for hanging on so patiently (especially here over the weekend, for example) and for putting this bug on our radar.

Sincerely,
George

Hey Chris!

Thanks for the file – I’ve taken a look and am a bit uncertain about the extent of the problem here…

I downloaded your file and opened it on my computer. It seemed to be completely fine, with “translatable” strings translated (to Traditional Chinese), other strings listed appropriately, column headers, and appropriate comma separation of values.

Here’s a screenshot of what I found:

It seems that the problem here may just be something with Excel itself. In other words, the file is being generated fine and such, but but Excel itself is not recognizing – or at least properly handling – the translated characters.

Do you agree with my assessment of things? If I’ve misunderstood any aspect of your problem, I’m really sorry about doing that – but let me know what it is! Provide any more detail you can about this and I will continue to try to recreate your problem so that I can figure out what the problem is.

Thanks Chris! 🙂

[George]

Sorry about that Ueli!

I unfortunately cannot help much more with this customization 🙁

But if CSS is not a robust enough solution for you, unfortunately you will have to proceed to the next step which is to add filters to your theme’s functions.php.

I wrote some custom code for you and tested it out – it should work well, try pasting this into your theme’s functions.php file:


add_filter( 'tribe_events_filter_values', 'demo_events_filter_values' );

function demo_events_filter_values( $values ) {

foreach ( $values as $key => $value ) {

if ( isset( $value['data']['slug'] ) ) {

if ( 'internal' == $value['data']['slug'] ) {
unset( $values[ $key ] );
$values = array_values( $values );
}
}
}

return $values;
}

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'demo_wp_footer' );

function demo_wp_footer() {
?>
<script>jQuery( 'select[name="tribe_eventcategory"]' ).removeAttr( 'disabled' );</script>
<?php
}


That worked for me and I hope it works for you! 🙂

Thanks for your patience Ueli, let us know if these filters help more than the CSS.

Cheers!
George

Allan – your issue here definitely helped, and both your contribution there and your patience with us are supremely appreciated 🙂

Once these get sorted, I hope it possible to get the recurring rules to accomodate three or four events in a year.

That’s indeed the goal, and as long as we fix this bug this should be possible.

Stay tuned Allan, thanks so much for your patience! I’ll post when the new Release is ready for download!

Gratefully,
George

[George]

Sounds good @karen – I really appreciate your patience here! Stay tuned for the Maintenance Release, it might help and will be a better place to troubleshoot further from regardless (even if it doesn’t fix things right away).

Cheers!
