Hi David,

Sorry to hear you didn’t get this resolved before. My apologies that we didn’t follow up…

It looks like it might just be an issue of where you’re linking to in your menu: http://stoneridgechristian.com/?post_type=tribe_events – instead of http://stoneridgechristian.com/calendar/

It won’t make any difference what the setting is set to if you’re manually linking to the URL of the post type because that will always show the list.

For the other issue, try changing your Events Template option in Settings > The Events Calendar > Template

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Jonah

I’m sorry Kelly but that’s more customization that I can help you with. I’ve already spent a lot of time on this issue and cannot spend more time try to figure out how to get the specific events you want in the widget. You’re going to have to figure it out on your own or hire someone to help you.

Sorry I can’t offer more.

Good luck,
Jonah

Hi Allan,

You’ve got a couple js script errors on the page which I’m guessing is the issue: http://cl.ly/3h471o1S0B1Q3a0n2m18

I would suggest trying to deactivate all other plugins to see what the culprit could be.

I hope that helps,

Hi guys, I looked into it myself and cannot figure it out. I’ve created a ticket to have another dev take a look. Sorry for the delay!

No problem Jim, try it out when you can and let me know how it works for you. Maybe the drugs will help 😉

Hi Coleen,

It looks like the related issue in the other thread was due to something on the web hosts side of things…

To enter the license key (which is not required by the way) you would go to Settings > The Events Calendar > Licenses, but you will only see this if you have the Pro plugin installed and activated.

I’m still not sure what the problem could be here. It sounds like it’s likely a server issue or an install issue. If you provide me WP admin I can take a closer look and see what I can find. Email access to jonah [at] tri [dot] be

Hi Jim,

Try this: https://gist.github.com/b9aa15e5e4122ed8b6fc

Basically all I did was wrap the right sidebar call in the conditionals so on specifici event pages the sidebar will still display. Does that work?

Cheers,
– Jonah

Hi Jim, no need to create another topic. You’re right and we know that our documentation needs some work. We’ve just got limited resources right now and can’t do everything.

Using the conditional should be pretty easy if you were able to create the new template and comment out the sidebar. All you’ll need to do is use the conditionals like this:

if( tribe_is_month() && !is_tax() ) { // The Main Calendar Page
get_sidebar('the-name-of-your-sidebar');
} elseif( tribe_is_month() && is_tax() ) { // Calendar Category Pages
get_sidebar('another-sidebar');
} elseif( tribe_is_event() && !tribe_is_day() && !is_single() ) { // The Main Events List
get_sidebar('the-name-of-your-sidebar');
} elseif( tribe_is_event() && is_single() ) { // Single Events
get_sidebar('single-events-sidebar');
} elseif( tribe_is_day() ) { // Single Event Days
get_sidebar('another-sidebar');
} elseif( tribe_is_venue() ) { // Single Venues
get_sidebar('another-sidebar');
} else {
//no sidebar
}


In this example I’m showing how you can actually call different sidebars with get_sidebar and by wrapping each call in a conditional you will only use that sidebar when the condition is met.

Does that help?

[Jonah]

Hey Kelly, ok in that query you’re using some old code and I think it just needs to be updated to the following to get it to work: https://gist.github.com/2771150

Does that help/work?

[Jonah]

Hi Shannon, there sure is an easy way to do this. Take a look at the blog post we wrote up: https://theeventscalendar.com/coloring-your-category-events/

[Jonah]

Hi Kelly, it’s displaying everything for that day because those are the next upcoming events… Are you trying to get it so it only shows one upcoming event per day or something like that?

[Jonah]

The shortcode is a somewhat complicated solution mainly because of the rewriting that needs to be done for the calendar, list, single events, etc. If we were to make a shortcode we would need to change how the whole rewrite system currently bases off of the Events URL slug (/events or whatever you have set) to base it instead off of whatever page you’ve inserted the calendar into so the URL looks good wherever you are in the hierarchy.

You can for example include the gridview.php file into anywhere on your site like so:

include('wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/gridview.php');


But the downside to this is that going forward or backward in the calendar will take you back to the main /events page (or whatever you have set as the base URL slug) because of the whole rewrite system that needs to go off of that base.

So, that’s basically where we are at with that. We do have some discussion going on about this because I agree it’s not the most ideal situation right now and it can be difficult for more custom setups to get exactly what you want with the plugin. That being said, we went in this direction to make it easier for beginner users to activate the plugin and have a calendar right away without the need to use a shortcode.

There are of course ways if you do need to more fully customize your setup to use different sidebars or what not on events pages. You just need to know how to modify your theme from more of a core level. If you haven’t seen the tutorial we put together on implementing the plugin with the Genesis framework, check it out. It’s got some gems in it that will help along these lines of customizing the plugin within your theme. https://theeventscalendar.com/tutorial-integrating-the-events-calendar-w-genesis/

Sorry I can’t offer up more here but hopefully this gives you something more to work on and thanks for the compliment!

Cheers,
Jonah

[Jonah]

Haha, no worries Jim. Let us know if there’s anything else we can help with here 🙂

[Jonah]

Hi Viktoria,

Sorry to hear about the troubles. Have you tried changing the Events Template setting in Settings > The Events Calendar > Template? That might help. Otherwise, this is likely something you will need to sort our with your theme either in the CSS or template code.

I hope that helps!

Hi Allan,

There is some javascript that runs in the My Events page but I’m not sure if that’s actually the problem here. I’d need to take a look at your website and see if there are any script errors or anything like that going on first. Care to share a link to your site?
