Hey @cesua,

You should be able to customize the coloring if you change the markup a little bit. So, for example, instead of something like this:

echo tribe_get_start_time( $post->ID ) . ' ';

You could try something like this:

printf( '<span class="cesua-custom-start-date">%s</span>', tribe_get_start_time( $post->ID ) );

Then, you can add some custom CSS like the following to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:

span.cesua-custom-start-date {
    color: red !important;
}

We don’t officially offer support for customizations like this, so definitely take some time to play around with things – and keep backups of any changes you make that you like 🙂

Cheers!
George

Hey @handdrawnpixels,

You can indeed make the customization you described here. While we can’t help with specific code examples, one thing that should be an enormous help is our official Themer’s Guide, which can be found here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Using the principles in that guide, you can make a custom version of the /views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php file found in your copy of Events Calendar PRO and add custom class names based on the category.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
George

Hey Robert,

You can indeed customize the submission form – and lots of front-facing parts of the plugin – by following the guidelines in our official Themer’s Guide here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

As for showing the user ID, this is something you’ll have to play around with, but it indeed may be possible with some core WordPress functions like get_current_user_id() or, more likely, by querying for the author of the submitted event and getting that ID.

While we can’t help with specifics of coding or implementing customizations, hopefully the information here is a helpful first start.

Cheers!

Hey Dave,

I am unfortunately indeed out of ideas, or at least ideas that we could accommodate within our limited scope of support for customizations.

One thing I’m curious about is, if you use the original un-edited shortcodes plugin, add some problem-causing shortcodes back to events, and then head to your site’s wp-config.php file and change this line of code:

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

to this:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

Do any PHP errors pop up on your site? If so, copy and paste them into Gists at http://gist.github.com and share links to those Gists – this process might reveal something.

Thank you Dave! Sorry for some of the disappointment here.

Cheers,
George

Hey Jodi,

Those are some odd errors, thank you for sharing them though!

One last thing – if you leave WP_DEBUG active, and deactivate the PixGridder Pro plugin, do those errors go away? Or change at all?

Your patience means a ton here, thanks for investigating this so closely!

Sincerely,
George

Hey Marty,

I’m really sorry for the back-and-forth here, and your patience means a ton – thank you!

I’m curious though, on your site both the Previous and Next Events links worked well for me. Do the links fail only on specific views or something?

Again: thank you for your patience here. We’re determined to help and are just trying to get an exact picture of the situation here, URL-related problems can be extremely diverse.

Thanks Marty,
George

Hey Gordon,

The closing “?>” is not required and, depending on the file – functions.php is one example, actually – it can lead to problems! Weird, for sure, but you should be fine with those tags or without them. Good eye though 🙂

As for testing the solution, would it be possible for you to create a “test” event with tickets that cost $0? Then you could pretend to “buy” these tickets to the non-exists test event, just to get the ticket confirmation email and see how it looks.

Let me know what you think!

George

I hope you do keep playing with this, and am sorry about how little we can support and delve into customizations like this. Your feedback is interesting though, and I see why you’d want this sort of column in your main Events admin screen.

I can create a feature ticket for this idea in our central project management tool, and if other devs agree on implementing this, we can add it in a future update. If you’d like to help bring more attention to this feature idea, definitely post about it on our UserVoice page here → http://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas

That will help us weigh in on what’s important when it comes time to figure out new features for a future release.

Thanks Mike, best of luck with your project here.

No worries about the functions.php thing, stuff like that is hard to catch!

I’m glad things cleared up, best of luck with your project! 🙂

Hey Dave,

I’m really sorry about the slight delay in response time, we try to respond to everything in 24 hours or less and I’m sorry that wasn’t the case for this reply.

The fact that that plugin is causing the error is pretty hard to deal with, but I took a dive into that plugin’s code and made a slight change that MIGHT help – I’m not 100% certain, but you can download this modified version and try it out → http://ge.tt/2cQvzdD2/v/0

Let us know if that helps at all!

Hey Craig,

The Filter Bar add-on works with any other calendar add-on, including Pro 🙂

If you have further questions, would you mind opening up another ticket here? Just helps us keep things organized reply faster to questions as they come up.

Cheers,
George

Hey Iago,

I’m sorry you’re not certain where to start – even though I already mentioned it, our official Themer’s Guide might be a great place to start → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

With that and all the information I shared above, you might be able to put together your customizations yourself. If not, we unfortunately do not offer any support for customizations, so for further assistance putting together your customizations, it may be best to hire a developer or something to help.

Do you have any other support questions or concerns? If so let us know.

Thanks!
George

[George]

Sorry you’ve run into that additional problem there – I’m curious, if you make the label change and then head to Settings > Permalinks in your admin, and just click “Save Changes” without actually changing, do the links behave any better?

This trick will cause the permalink structure to refresh across your site, which might help with this issue you noticed with organizer URLs.

Let us know if it does!
George

[George]

Thank you so much for investigating this Jodi, and for your patience with the slight delay in response time here.

Your testing is quite sound, have you discovered anything extra with WP_DEBUG turned on?

Thank you!
George

[George]

We’re pumped for it too! Stay tuned to updates and when you get the “Update Available” notice in your admin, update and read the “readme” about what’s new in the plugin to see when it finally arrives.

Thanks Anne, best of luck with your project in the meantime 🙂
