The way the list view works, in terms of the dates shown, makes no sense to me. It doesn’tt appear to be consistent. It would be nice if you could select a date range, or if it just showed the events for a month. Can you explain how it is supposed to work? How could I export an ICS file with a range of dates I would like to include?

I want to add a field to capture the email address of each venue. This is very handy since we send monthly reminders to venues to send us their event updates. I am able to add a custom field to the venue form and show it in admin list view using Admin Columns plugin. But I want to make it possible for events coordinator to enter the email when a new venue is created in the new event form.

Yes, this works. The first time some of the text got converted in the email message (< and > converted to &lt &gt). I went back to the support forum and copied from there and it works fine. I placed the code in a patch plugin to isolate it form the Illustrious code, which gets updated from time to time. Thanks for your help! Gene

P.S. Line 47 actually looks like this:

if ( ‘add’ != $screen->action ) return false;

Somehow the &gt got converted to > when I entered the code in the Forum.

Thanks for your help Nico. I’m getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’ in /home/jsowebmaster/jazzoregon.com/wp-content/plugins/JSO-updates/JSO-updates.php on line 47.

Here is line 47: if ( ‘add’ != $screen->action ) return false;

Must be a typo somewhere.

Could I also fix state and country by duplicating the code and making these changes…

eventsDefaultCity –> eventsDefaultState, eventsDefaultCountry?
venue[City][] –> venue[State][], venue[Country][]
$default_city –> $default_State, $default_Country

Any news on fix for City and State default not working?

[Ben]

Any forecast on when this will be fixed?

Thanks Andras, I went through and disabled all plugins except ECP and activated them one-by-one. Now it works–go figure.

I’m very thankful for this patch. It will help us tremendously. But it looks a little funky in that all day events are shown as start time=12:00am and end time=11:59pm. Events with no end time show the end time=start time rather than showing now end time.

For future versions you might want to either provide a view specifically for admin review and editing within Community Events. Or alternatively, enhance the admin events view to show all the needed info for review (i.e., include cost, start time, end time, and description). Or update Advanced Post Manager to enable this (start and end time are not currently available). It would make the Community Events add-on appear more thought out and professional.

As I said at the beginning of this thread, without some enhancement of this type, reviewing a large number of events submitted to Community Events is really a drag.

Best regards and thankful for your help!

Close. I’ve attached the HTML output for the events list page.

If I take out the span tag, the output looks like this:
@ 8:00 pm November 4

So evidently the span is needed to group the arguments properly, but I am unable to determine the correct code.

In looking at the meta data in the WP database, it appears that event start and end times are stored as part of the start and end date as DATETIME fields. Would it be possible to just change the display format for the tribe admin list view so that the date columns appear as a date/time values? That would allow us to see all the info we need to review the community calendar submissions from the extended admin view that you described above.

Thanks

It seems to be working now. It may be related to an interaction I described in another thread: “Bug in Day View”, since that’s the only thing I’ve changed…

When you select a day from the month calendar view by clicking on the date, the first item listed for the day is missing the event title (see attached)…This bug was caused by the instructions in the Knowledgebase article “Configuring The Events Calendar with Constants” at https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/configuring-the-events-calendar-with-constants in the section shown below. Removing the recommended DEFINE fixed the problem.

Fix Title Conflict with Some Themes

Have you noticed that sometimes the title for an event page isn’t displaying properly? Is it displaying twice or are loops of events displaying a single event title rather than an appropriate archive title? This could be due to your theme calling “the_title();” outside of the loop for that page.

To fix this problem, use TRIBE_MODIFY_GLOBAL_TITLE to overwrite the default title being output by the theme.
1 define(‘TRIBE_MODIFY_GLOBAL_TITLE’, true);

P.S. Is there a reason that start and end times don’t appear as options in the active columns choice list? That would make it easy 😉

Thanks, that really helps. I hate to be picky, but my website users are really clambering for an easy way to review submitted events. Is there any way to make the event list (in the admin panel) show date and time, like it does in the community events show list (instead of just date). Then we would have all the review information in one place. Thanks for your help!
