Yes…this sounds correct and matches the experiences we have been having.

Thank you Barry. I have more to report. It appears that all of the pages that have links to “Next” in some fashion or another cause the filter bar settings to “reset” on the next page. So if a user uses the filter bar to generate a smaller listing of the results, we have it set to show only 30 results, when the user clicks “Next” we are finding that the filter bar resets and shows to next 30 of everything in the potential data set, rather than the filtered items.

We thought we were only experiencing it in only the Month View of the calendar, but we are getting it in the list views as well.

Filter Bar settings don’t seem to persist beyond the first selection on the first page. I am thinking they should carry throughout all the search results until changed. Is this signifying more of an overall issue or elevate the support since it seems more comprehensive of a problem?
Thanks for your help finding a solution.

Thank you for clarifying that you were able to check on your local install instead of our version. My apologies for confusion on that.

I appreciate the fact that it has been logged in the system as an issue, and I don’t want to argue about semantics of whether it is a technically a “bug” or a “feature request” but if there is any way I can show you how the filter bar interacts with the Event Calendar Pro you can definitely see how where the a link exists that explicitly indicates to the user that they will see a listing that carries the filter bar settings and tells a user to “Click to see all 14 Events” and then it does not do what it says. It shows all events for the day. I wouldn’t bring up the issue if the link simply said “Click to see all Events” or “Click to see all 64 Events” but since a user would be using the filter bar to narrow results, it just strikes me as rendering the Filter Bar somewhat useless in the Monthly view because it doesn’t lead people down the right path. Hopefully there is a fix to this soon and we appreciate your help. It is just hard building a project around the plugins when we are not able to provide users with the views of data they select.

I am not sure how you can see it locally since I have a “maintenance mode’ running at the current time so the whole calendar likely isn’t available unless you have a username/password combo to see it. The site hasn’t gone live yet for public view so it has always been in maintenance mode.

I am also not sure how it can be considered as a “feature request” when the hyperlink I am talking about explicitly indicates something that it doesn’t do – it indicates, by the the nature of being a hyperlink, that if one clicks the link it will see the full listing of events that have been narrowed down by the filter settings, but it shows all events on the day despite the link indicating it should only show the 14 events for the day based upon the current filter settings.

So this seems to be more of a bug than a feature request. If the link indicated it would show all the events on the day rather than the smaller number according the filter settings I could see it being a “feature request” but this is currently showing plainly the wrong information, a bug.

Please let me know if there is someone who might be able to login to the system to verify the specifics of this case so we can find a best resolution. I apologize if I am not explaining things more accurately so I hope we can continue to dialog about the issue so we are all on the same page. There are so many great features to this plugin and this is the last issue before we set the site live so we are anxious to identify some course of action.
Thank you,

Chris

I can provide you username and password to see the issue. I tend to see it as a bug because when someone is viewing the Month view and sees three events that fit the search criteria, then they see there are 14 more events that fit the criteria, I would imagine clicking the link to “See all 14 Events” should bring up a page with only those 14 events, rather than the listing of all possible events.

I am not sure why the filter criteria aren’t carrying over to the next page. If a filter is applied on the Month view and then shows a link to see a listing of all events that fits the criteria, I would think clicking that link should show only those events? It seems this would be how the system should be designed, shouldn’t it?

I can share a username/password to showcase the example if it helps to diagnose the problem. I appreciate so much of what the Filter Bar offers and hope this is a relatively easy fix1

Thanks for considering and helping to find a resolution!

I also don’t see the “distance” filter in the Filter Bar options. There is a “Near” option in the original Event Calendar Pro but since I added the Filter Bar, I thought I should see the “Distance” search option as well, especially since I added the “Distance” option as one of the filter options.

Can anyone tell me how you got it working?

Thanks!

It appears the only place there is any use of ajax is in relation to the Tribe Events. The hackish way you suggested appears to work, but it does appear to show just some default font which isn’t as aesthetically pleasing as the original. I know the theme has a CSS file but does the Tribe Event system also have a CSS file too? I was thinking I could modify the Tribe Event to simply call the “H2.tribe-events-list-event-title.summary” something different or write in a specific font to use like Arial or something that looks similar to the rest of the Event information summary that is displayed? Am I on the right track?

I appreciate your help.

Here is a question that you might be able to help me with to work around this problem.

I am not necessarily tied to this particular font for the titles within the Tribe Events system and while the title and headers are disappearing, there are other fonts that are not disappearing at all.

Is it possible to simply modify the Tribe Events code in some way so that some standard web font replaces the Cufon for those elements.

For example, the date and address/location of the events are all showing correctly. Couldn’t we simply modify the Tribe Events code so the titles appear in a similar font?

Chris

Thank you for the additional clarification. I did plug the code you suggested into the Custom CSS for the theme and it did change the heading of the main listing of “Upcoming Events” to a different font.

I did notice however that the specific title of the first meeting in the listing of “Upcoming Events” still disappears though.

Is this because the code you supplied “#tribe-events-content .tribe-events-page-title” refers only to the page title and not the title of the events that are generated? I am having a hard time finding the code that refers to the title of each event in the listing. Can you share the code that would also fix the titles of the events on the page?

This would help me further confirm the problem and at least enable me to get consistent content showing in the right places.

It sounds like you were about to sort things out and as a follow up question, when you talk about doing an override on that CSS, is there a block of code you could suggest that I past somewhere to override? Should I copy the code you have listed above and past it into the functions.php file on the child theme I am using? Any suggestions you can provide will be helpful.
Thank you again!
Chris

[kosovichmedia]

Thank you for the answer and I have a follow-up question.

I place the code in the functions file and modified as suggested so that “Find Events” would be replaced by “Find Meetings” and it worked.

I was hopeful that if I simply took away the word “Find” that the system would then look for any word resembling “Events” and replace it simply with “Meetings” but for some reason the system didn’t make any changes.

Will I need to replicate that block of code for every unique reference like “Find Events” or “Upcoming Events” or “Events From” and insert “Find Meetings” and “Upcoming Meetings” and “Meetings From” and so on and on to make all the changes?

Just looking for the most simple option to reduce likelihood of errors or missing some specific phrase.

Thank you for you help. Please let me know.

Thank you for the update. I appreciate that you are looking into working a fix on it. Please let me know how I can best find out about the status in the future. Will it be a big announcement or likely just one of many refinements that will likely happen as the software evolves? Just curious. I don’t want to miss the update when it happens but I understand it is likely not the number one priority. It will be a nice enhancement when it is done though. Thanks for the update.
