Hi Joyce,
Sorry it is so hard trying to communicate what I mean. Yes I’m referring to the youtube video which is a post specific element (so I choose that video in the pagelines meta settings).
The main upcoming list uses the events single page template rather than the list template which why it’s getting pulled in (I think).
It sounds like its some clash with the pagelines templating and I’ve solved the issue that was bugging me most so if I can’t fix just this one at least I know there is a workaround. Thanks for your help on this – I think just talking it through on the forum actually helped me figure some of it out. Cheers.

Me again – I think I’ve further isolated the problem which may help. Basically the Event list view (/events/upcoming/) is calling on the Tribe events template rather than the Tribe events archive template that is used of subcategory lists. Is that the correct template it should be calling on?

I guess a way I could get around it is to make a new category called “upcoming” and assign all events to that. But I’m wondering if there is a more elegant solution? If not then I understand – it is hard to cater to every possible framework and theme.

HI Joyce,
just letting you know I figured out the issue on the subcategory pages – it was a pagelines “Post Thumbnail Placement” setting that fixed it. Still not sure what is going on with the main upcoming event category page yet but at least that is one problem solved!

[Rachel]

Hi Joyce – yes sorry – its tricky one.
In answer to your question – yes – the extra pic – that is the duplicate is the one I want to get rid of. It is the featured image in the first event so I think it is somehow pulling from there? The same thing happens for any category pages which use the archive template.

But just to confuse things the main list http://101.0.66.80/~glenstre/events/upcoming/ seems to pull in a different element from the first event. And in this case my admin bar shows it is using the single event template which is odd as it is an event list.

If it helps below are links to what I see in the template setup in pagelines:

I’ve also posted in the pagelines forum to better understand how the post loop section behaves as I think it may have something to do with that.
thanks for persevering 🙂

Ah.. got it… that worked a treat! thank you!

[Rachel]

hmm the php bit deleted itself.. this is the bit Im guessing I need to udpate: tribe_get_start_date()

[Rachel]

ok so based on the date functions I need to update this bit of code throughout:
– and somehow get [bool $displayTime = false] in there. Are you able to help me with the correct syntax? I was able to do the other mods myself but this is beyond me. Thanks

[Rachel]

I also just noticed that the “upcoming event list”(events/upcoming/) calls on the tribe events template whereas the subcategory lists(eg events/category/theatre/) call on the tribe archive template. not sure if that helps?

[Rachel]

Hi Joyce, its not live yet but you can see the list here: http://tinyurl.com/6wdhhav and for subcategories under “whats on”. I’m not sure disabling post thumbnails is an option as i want them to appear for the events and news posts. And its not just the thumbnails that appear on the master lists – its the post specific features (meta that I set within the individual post).

So its as is the template for the archives takes on elements of the template for the post. does that make sense?? I’ve already done alot of customisation using the themers guide however I just can’t figure out how to edit the heading area and where to find it in the code. I think it has something to do with the way pagelines adopts the templates. Hopefully that sheds some more light on the issue.

Hi Jonah, yes I can confirm it is limited to the pro plugin and more specifically the calendar widget. It only occurs when using that widget – leaving the page the coming back. I’ve just emailed you an admin account. Cheers!

[Rachel]

Jonah I’ve found two more posts in the pagelines forums that may help – certain plugins seem to be the cause of this issue. In my case I deactivated all others and narrowed it down to the calendar widget in yours:

http://www.pagelines.com/forum/discussion/16936/features-and-boxes-have-duplicated-itself-in-the-backend#Item_2

[Rachel]

Hi Jonah,
I just emailed you a screen grab showing the error (wasn’t sure how to attach them here) as it occurs in chrome (its not browser specific).

[Rachel]

Hi Jonah, the issue as stated above is that when you use the calendar widget the default box and feature posts are duplicated. So when I came to look at the site this morning, my features were all replaced by the defaults. Pagelines had automatically created about 20 default posts in the sections (which i’ve gone in and deleted). If you try again you will see the custom images replaced by the defaults each time you use the widget.

[Rachel]

Hi Rob, sent the email today – let me know if you don’t get it.

[Rachel]

Hi Rob,
That would make sense as the error seems to occur after I navigate to a different month. The site is in development so would rather not post it on the forum – is there some way I can send it to you direct please?
