You’re welcome Sheila. Hopefully that’s enough for you to work with but let me know if you need any more insight into it.

To get rid of the summary sidebar on single events you can remove all the code for it by first making a duplicate copy of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php in an ‘events’ folder in your theme folder. Then open up the file in your editor of choice and remove lines 15-88. If you want to remove other pieces; they’re all there in single.php and you can just remove chunks, test it out and if it works it works and if it doesn’t just undo your edits and try again!

Hi Sheila, having separate category lists is totally possible but it’s going to require some coding knowledge/finagling so you may want to hire a developer to help you with this. There’s a couple ways to do it but probably the easiest is to use the existing functionality in the plugin to list events in specific categories. You can access any of your categories by visiting: http://amanda.hoffmangraphics.com/trainings/upcoming/category/your_category_slug/. You can then link to any of these by creating custom menu links (if you have custom menus available) to link to these categories.

Another way to do it would to setup these different pages (as many as you need) and put some custom loops in there to pull in your category specific events. But that would be a lot more complicated.

I’m not sure what you mean by the summary sidebar. Do you mean the start/end/venue/address info on the right of each event?

Does that help on the category list idea?

Hi Robert, cool idea! Unfortunately it is a bit complicated and not something we can help you with in the forums. Good luck though!

HI Lee, I don’t think tribe_get_day_link can have those parameters passed in like that. It basically only takes in one argument – the date that you want to link to. You can see more here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/the-events-calendar-template-tags-link-functions/#functiontribe_get_day_link

It’s difficult to get the current highlighted day on the mini calendar and unfortunately I cannot figure this out and customizations are not supported so there’s nothing else I can do for you here. Normally I would have one of our other devs take a look but they are very busy rolling out a new version this week and next so our hands are tied. You’ll need to figure it out on your own…

This might help – so you can pass in a specific date into the function like so:

tribe_get_day_link(date('n/j/Y', strtotime('7 days')))


That will link to a day 7 days out from today. You’ll want to somehow figure out how to get the highlighted day to be used as the link.

Good luck!

Sweet! Glad to hear this is resolved 🙂

Hi Jeremy, I think I’ve figured it out. It looks like your theme is registering an events post type and it’s likely using ‘event’ as the permalink path. You’ll either need to unregister the post type with something like this: http://pastebin.com/VexHkgig or modify the post type rewrite slug to something else like ‘theme-event’. It seems like if you’re using our plugin you won’t need the post type though so that would be the cleaner option.

Let me know if this helps or not.

Hi Lee, sorry about that, yes it should be line 89 of table-mini.php

The reason you put the file in an ‘events’ folder in your themes folder is to override the stock template file while making customizations that will be preserved the next time you update the plugin.

I hope that helps but let me know if you need anything else with this.

Hi Demitri, since the events pages are virtual pages you will need to programmatically add body classes in Thesis for the different event pages. Something like this should help: https://gist.github.com/2127103

Hi Dave, my bad – the example you posted above was for the single event view so that’s why editing list.php was not doing anything. I’ve added single.php as an override and removed the end date there and in list.php.

Let me know if you need anything else.

[Jonah]

Hi Ricky, looks like you figured it out. Let us know if you need anything else with this.

[Jonah]

Hi Lee,

This is normal behavior but by all means not necessarily the best behavior. I never understood this one myself but it’s an easy modification.

First make a copy of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/table-mini.php and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme. Next, find line 90 and change to: https://gist.github.com/f37635d0fd8fcd225566

That should do it. Let me know if you need anything else.

[Jonah]

Hi Ricky, you could use tribe_get_current_month_text() (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/the-events-calendar-template-tags-calendar-grid-functions/#functiontribe_get_current_month_text).

[Jonah]

Hi Nathan, the main event page showing the list and calendar should always be at the URL with slug you specified in the Settings > The Events Calendar page. To integrate this into your navigation you just need to create a custom link to this page (i.e. “/your-eventpage-slug”). As for integrating into your pages, the main event page is automatically created and will not show up as a regular WordPress page but can use your regular page.php template (used to display all your pages) or the template we provide with the plugin or any other custom page template that you have setup in your theme. This option can be set in Settings > The Events Calendar under “Events Template”.

Does that help?

[Jonah]

Hi Mirte, sorry to hear you are having this issue. Have you made any customizations to the template files (i.e. any overrides in an ‘events’ folder in your theme)? Have you tried disabling all other plugins to see if there could be another plugin that is causing the problem? I would start there.

[Jonah]

Customizations like you’re trying to do are also outside of the scope of the support we can provide in our forum. You’ll need to work out these issues on your own. Good luck!
