Hi Jonah,

Thanks for the response – yes, the above query is based on the documentation. (I’ve since taken down the page but it wasn’t returning properly. Example: I call Monday and it returned Tuesday’s event that ended Monday morning. I call Sunday and it returns Saturday’s event that ends Sunday morning at 2:00 a.m.)

I have a feeling ECP is conflicting either with a plugin or some date.time declaration. I don’t have a resolution to this issue, but I don’t have an explanation to help out with the problem either so feel free to consider this topic closed.

If I find out any more about why things are returning the way they are, I definitely report.

Cheers.

Hi Jonah,

Apologies for the late response, last week was pretty nuts.

I actually don’t have a great answer for you aside from our own ignorance – originally we thought it was required, then we thought that at least having the addon would help make parts of the process (i.e. adding single events) easier but, given this client’s specific needs, it seems less and less like that’s the case.

Thanks for your time Rob & Jonah. (Heads up, I’ve got one other question but I’ll ask it in the correct forum.)

Hi Jonah,

Thanks for the response! However, my fault for not being clearer – I meant the WordPress back-end doesn’t show an area where one can place the event cost if
A. The Evenbrite plugin is turned on
B. “Register this event with eventbrite.com?” is set to “No”
This means the function “echo tribe_get_cost();” simply returns nothing because the cost isn’t being filled out.

(Screenshots – Eventbrite plugin disabled: http://pasha-boston.com/event-brite-off.jpg, Eventbrite plugin enabled: http://pasha-boston.com/event-brite-on.jpg)

Again, to reiterate how we went about handling the situation –
Most of the events being dealt with are recurring and all are registered through Eventbrite. Given that the API can’t handle the recurring events, we made a custom meta field with Events Calendar Pro that calls the Eventbrite event ID.

For example, we have an event that happens every Tuesday and we’ve made a “Buy Tickets” button that uses this URL: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3258874381?selecteddate=2012-05-29%2022:00:00

The event ID is “3258874381” (filled out from the custom meta field) and the “selecteddate” parameter is being filled out dynamically for each event based on the when the event is happening.

The company doesn’t want to register each event separately – they like having the single Eventbrite page with the drop down date selection – so we can’t “Register this event with eventbrite.com?” set to “Yes” on the recurring events.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks for your help!
