Actually I found the problem, it was a conflict with another plugin. You can mark this resolved.

How do you implement the new Mini Cal features. I tried removing the widget and re-adding it, but its still works the same way, not seeing the new AJAX functionality?

[Jason]

Thanks Jonah, I understand. I really appreciate the effort you guys have put into trying to help me!

I’m going to reach out to Steven Slack who provided the solution for the Tutorial that this all based on. Just out of curiosity, can we expect tighter integration with post categories and tags in the 2.1 release, ie something that would help me accomplish what I’m shooting for here?

I’m just try to weigh how important this is to me and how much I’m willing to invest now to get this accomplished.

Do you have a product road-map available, can you provide a rough estimate for a 2.1 release date?

[Jason]

Thanks for your help Paul!!!
Unfortunately, the code you have provided doesn’t seem to have any effect what so ever, at least as near as I can tell.

What Jonah did was close, to what I need. It showed the Event Posts that were assigned to a regular Post Category, on that regular post category archive. Unfortunately, it also had the adverse effect of making my navigation disappear completely on regular post category archives.

It also had the adverse effect of showing ALL events on the home page, and I only want events that have been assigned to regular post category to show on the home page loop.

I’m happy to provide access to the site for you to investigate further. Its on a development server so you would need to adjust your hosts file settings to reach it. If you want to provide me an email address to send the details to, I’ll send you all the info you need.

I really appreciate your assistance, this is the last functional piece I need to resolve and the graphic designers are almost done, so I’ll be customizing the theme and hoping to launch in a week or so.

Sorry the forum seems to strip most of the formatting, but yes essentially I’m using exactly what Jonah posted. Let me know if you have any questions on the functionality I’m hoping to achieve as Jonah’s suggestion didn’t have the results I was looking for.

[Jason]

Hi Paul, I’m terribly sorry for the delayed reply. I somehow did not receive notification that your replied here.

add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘query_post_type’);
function query_post_type($query) {
if(is_category() || is_tag() || is_archive() || is_search() || is_home() && empty( $query->query_vars[‘suppress_filters’] ) ) {
$post_type = get_query_var(‘post_type’);
if($post_type)
$post_type = $post_type;
else
$post_type = array(‘post’,’tribe_events’);
$query->set(‘post_type’,$post_type);
return $query;
}
}

[Jason]

No worries. Thanks for the follow up Rob.

Hi Guys, I just wanted to follow up on this thread. I’m coming close to completing a site and this is one of the remaining issues I need to resolve.

[Jason]

Thanks Jonah, I appreciate your assistance.

[Jason]

Hi Guys, sorry to bump this, I have a feeling it slipped down the queue over the weekend.

I’ve almost got this functionality working like I want. Unfortunately for some reason when I add this function to my functions.php, it causes a strange issue where my main and secondary navigation disappear completely. Otherwise this is working for displaying events assigned to regular post category on the relevant post category archive pages.

I’m guessing I’ll need a different function for displaying ONLY events assigned to a regular post category on the home page loop?

[Jason]

Hi Noah,

Thanks for your assistance. Definitely getting closer to what I’m shooting for. Unfortunately this didn’t have the exact results that I’m going for.

The above function causes all “Event Posts” to be shown on the Home Page Loop. I only want Events that have been assigned to a regular “Post Category” to appear on the home page, and on their relevant “Post Category Archive” Pages. Any Events that have not been assigned to a normal “Post Category”, I only want to appear in the “Event Category” archives.

This also had a strange effect of making my primary and secondary navigation disappear completely whenever I was on regular “Post Category” Archive page. Of note, on standard WordPress “Pages”, “Event Archives”, and the Home Page the Navigation is not affected and appears like it should?

Thanks again for your assistance.

[Jason]

Yes, I’m on the official 2.0.4 releases for both versions of the plugin. I’m using the Genesis Framework for the Theme.

[Jason]

Thanks Rob, Shane referred me to someone that I’m hoping can help me with this.

[Jason]

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your response. Actually a bit off what I’m describing. Although I asked about exactly what your suggesting here:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/looking-for-a-way-to-merge-event-category-with-blog-category/#post-15276

I may still consider this method, but my current request, is a bit different.

In this case. I basically just want to use the existing Event Posts but assign them to a separate Event Category when they are Journal entries. I want to be able to put a link in my navigation for the Event Journal Category, but I want the posts from that Category only to show up as normal blog posts that are sorted by Publish date. I want to remove all the formatting normally associated with an Event Category and make it appear to be a normal blog category. If I can achieve that then I can likely skip what I was trying to achieve with merging blog and event categories.

[Jason]

Thanks for the additional assistance Jonah, I’m going to take the info you have provided and see if someone on the Genesis forum can give me some additional help, if that doesn’t work out I’ll hire someone to help with this feature. Thanks again for taking the time.
