Cool! Thanks for putting up with that question for the umpteenth time. 8)

Sounds good to me, Barry. Figures they should be focused on TEC 3.0 just as I’ve upgraded to v2.0! 🙂 Any ETA on that next major upgrade?

[Ken]

Barry,

Thanks for the reply! Not only do you understand the situation; I think you understand it better than I do. 🙂 The proposed fix sounds beyond my ken, so I’ll leave it to the dev team for now.

Thanks, Barry! That’s working for me, too.

I have enough programming background to understand a language’s basic concepts and can often hack something together for my own purposes, but I haven’t programmed anything elegant enough to warrant release since 2000. I appreciate the help!

Barry,

Thanks! It seems I did miss something: the proper way to submit a feature request. I’ve now done so.

Thanks, Barry! I think I found the threads you referenced: “Additional field with hyperlinks ?” and “Custom field urls not linking“.

Is it correct that Additional Fields become associated with events, not with venues? I tried adding such a field, but when I edit a venue, there is no additional place to input a URL.

That’s not the right code. This is: http://pastebin.com/YaVYzS4j

Barry,

Awesome! That worked. I also changed the top of my page.php template’s code to set the width accordingly:


<div id="">


I’m not much of a programmer, so I don’t know if that’s the elegant solution, but it appears to be working as expected throughout my site.

Thanks again!

Barry,

At this moment, the calendar is set to use “Default page template”.

[Ken]

Thanks for the speedy volunteering, gents!
Andy: Choosing a different default template for the calendar also affects the list view:

I want to adjust just the gridview.
Barry: I changed the events template from default page template to default calendar template. Unfortunately, this too has changed both the calendar and list views to full width. I’d like the sidebar on the latter, if possible.

[Ken]

Barry,

Wow — talk about an easy fix! It worked great. Thanks!

[Ken]

It worked! 😀 Thanks, Barry!

[Ken]

Neat idea, Barry. Are those files not overwritten with each update?

[Ken]

Barry,

Thanks for all the great replies! Sorry it’s taken me awhile to work through them.

I was able to remove the fields I wanted hidden through template overrides, by deleting them from custom event-form.php and events-meta-box.php files. The only change I couldn’t make through template overrides was to the “Organizer Details” fields. I wanted to change the word “Organizer” to “Team”, but this could apparently only be done by editing the events-calendar-pro.php file directly, which will of course be wiped out with the next update. Hmm.

Sorry to hear PDFs can’t be uploaded through the form. Many of my community events come with coupons or flyers to print out. I’ll have to find another way to accept those files.

The template tags you linked to worked great to exclude author bios from the event submission page — thanks!

A new question: can I set the default author for submitted events?

-Ken

[Ken]

It works! 😀
