Hey @intersectmg,

While the Facebook Importer may still end up saving you a lot of time, it unfortunately does not sync events from Facebook.

It is a one time importer. This is because as of now the Facebook Graph API does not have a way to detect if an event has changed, which is what our plugin uses to import the events.

Sorry to disappoint! The only method for getting the new info from Facebook is to either manually update the already-imported event, or just delete the already-imported event and re-import the original Facebook.com event to minimize “data-entry”-style work on your end of things.

Let me know if this helps and/or if there’s anything else I can help with!

Sorry about the double post – my internet was cutting out as I neared the end of that first one, so I just published that and have relocated to a better wifi area for this reply here 🙂

On to some resources and ideas like I mentioned:

Themer’s Guide
Our Themer’s Guide is a comprehensive resource for learning how to make custom template files for The Events Calendar, which is often a necessary step for theme integrations. It might be very helpful for your project and you can read it here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

tribe_get_map_link_html
While not the Map View itself, there’s a function called tribe_get_map_link_html() that generates the Google Map for a specific event. If you can’t get the full map view working on your site, this may be a good backup option for showing maps for events.

The Map View
If you want to truly recreate the Map View on a single-page site, then your best resource for this is to just dive right into the Events Calendar Pro plugin files on your site. Namely, you’ll want to check out src/views/pro/map – this directory in your Events Calendar Pro plugin files contains all of the map view template files, which you can rework to fit into your site by following the steps in the Themer’s Guide I linked to you up above.

Best of luck with these customizations! Make good backups of your original files and your custom files along the way, and if you have these backups and take some time to play around with our templating system, I’m sure you’ll be able to put something useful together.

If you’d like to hire a developer to help you out here, we have a list of some frequently-well-reviewed folks for hire here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/find-a-customizer/

Cheers,

Hey Steve,

A level of integration like this might be possible, but it is too involved and complex a customization for our support forums unfortunately. We won’t be able to help with much custom coding here, but there are a few resources and ideas I can share with you to hopefully get you started!

Hey David,

This is an odd issue – sorry you’ve run into this on your site. Can you link to a page on your site where we could see this behavior in person, and try clicking on the empty calendars ourselves? That would be immensely helpful for troubleshooting purposes here.

Please note that we cannot log into customer sites. So while your site isn’t fully built yet and you might not want it to be publicly accessible, it will need to be public for us to see it – it’s only temporary, and we’ll work as fast as possible so that if your site is meant to be private during construction, you can put it back to Private as soon as possible.

Thank you!
George

Okay, I’m sorry to hear that Karen but I appreciate your update and that you tried to recreate it at all. This thread will likely be auto-closed by the SupportDroid before you get another post to replicate this – if that happens, you can just open up a new thread any time and link back to this thread for reference, we’ll pick up right where we left off 🙂

Cheers,
George

Hey Barry,

Apologies for the delayed response, I’m just returning from the weekend and catching up on threads.

This thread is marked “resolved” and you seem to have worked out a useful solution on your site, so I will mark this as “Closed” for now.

Best of luck with your site!
George

Thank you for your feedback about our documentation, Filip. I’m not just saying that to be a “polite customer support person” – your comments, especially here at the end, are valuable ones and I think you make a good point about how we have things organized!

Best of luck with your site,
George

Thanks for posting this @slwinter – this hints at some HTML and/or JavaScript inconsistencies from your theme itself, not The Events Calendar.

Can you try activating a default theme like Twenty Fourteen, and seeing how your month view looks in that theme?

If display issues persist with that theme active, then proceed with the plugin-related steps outlined here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

This process will reveal or rule out a plugin or theme conflict, which is a great place to start for the troubleshooting involved with this issue.

Thanks!
George

Yes, absolutely Matt. For those permalink slugs to have been wiped out hints out something that went wrong with your database or another deep part of your WordPress site, not The Events Calendar itself, so if you make new permalinks they should hopefully not be problematic.

Thanks for this information!

The first thing that stood out to me here was the plugin on your site called “The Events Calendar: Frontend Submission”. That is NOT a plugin we make or endorse, and may be causing problems here.

So first, try deactivating that plugin and see if anything improves with the problems you reported here. If those problems persist, please run through the rest of the troubleshooting steps outlined here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

This process will reveal if there’s a plugin conflict, or at least rule it out as a possible culprit.

Let us know what you find!

Thanks,
George

Nice! Glad to have helped, Leigh.

Best of luck with your site 🙂

Hey @lukevw22,

Thank you for that link! I’m curious, does anything improve for you if you try the CSS fix that was posted in that thread by the thread’s author? To try it, paste the following CSS into the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:


.tribe-bar-disabled, #tribe-events-bar {
z-index: 1 !important;
}

Hey Evan,

I appreciate your update here and your clarification of what you meant – I’m sorry to respond to that with bad news! Unfortunately, our calendar doesn’t have “feed” options like this that would auto-export events to Google on a regular interval or anything.

Sorry to disappoint! Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

Cheers,
George

Hey @shreinmedia,

Hm, those results are very odd. Thank you for testing those things though.

I’m curious – would you be able to leave your site in a state where all plugins are deactivated other than The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro, and your theme is a default theme like Twenty Fourteen or something?

I will check things out again with your site in that state.

Also, if you have caching or minification plugins, please be sure to disable these as well.

Thanks you for your patience with this!

George

[George]

Thanks for trying that out at all Bud, and for reporting your findings!

I’ll close up this thread for now since the conflict lays with the Wiki plugin – I hope you’re able to get things working on your site.

If other issues arise with The Events Calendar or Events Calendar Pro, come back and open a new thread any time!

Cheers,
George
