@mostlyweb: I agree with you but unfortunately Modern Tribe hasn’t provided many settings for controlling their plugin for specific needs like: 5 days week (hide weekend days), timeframe, etc.
This is the solution we found ourselves. Find this file:
events-calendar-pro/lib/template-classes/week.php
In line 26: “public static $week_length = 7;” change “7” to “5”.This will get you a 5 day week view but it will take a bit of CSS to correct the look of the calendar afterwards. You’ll need to add this to your stylesheet file:
.tribe-events-grid .tribe-grid-content-wrap .column { width: 20%; }We did not switch to any default theme as this is a live client site. Nor can I see what difference it should make as we are using the best theme already? This problem is part of the non-supported SEO compability in ECP as explained. That’s why we are using your snippet in the first place – to get any title output at all other than the URL.
Hi Barry: No matter what we do ECP acts competely strange regarding titles. You are obviously aware of this (and the none support of Yoast SEO) as you made a snippet that somewhat compensate. We use one of the most advanced theme’s from GoodLayers with no problems at all (with any plugins) except from ECP. Modern Tribe needs to do af full overhaul of the way title’s are displayed (and not displayed) with full support of SEO plugins.
@Barry: It seems that you have replied here, but I can’t see your message as it is “marked as private” ?
Did you test that code you just posted? As I state – with Yoast SEO installed your code only works for “Map View” (writing out “Map View” as browser window title) and not for “List View” or “Week View” unless using:
add_filter( 'wpseo_title', 'filter_events_title' );Whatever is making the inner area of the calendar scrollable must be possible to set to “non-scrollable” with a simple edit or code line in a core file (or even with snippet).
Then we can easily hide the scrollbars etc. with CSS … as we already wrote 97 lines of CSS just make ECP look somewhat presentable.
Yes, it looks as YOU believe it is intended to work but have to tried this:
Another great problem this lack of usability causes is when using the Filters Bar you are likely to click. i.e. “Organizers” and select something and then scroll down (with two fingers on any Mac Track Pad) to immediately see the results. But the moment the cursor arrow hits the calendar area the scrolling stops as it now wants to scroll within the calendar but can’t. Scrolling upwards then with two fingers only results in all nighttime hours being revealed to much confusion. There’s is no logic to this and it is utterly pointless that any user will have to scroll outside the calendar area to make this work.
As already explained: As we have an 8AM – 12AM “Time Frame” for our events we have expanded the height of the calendar in order to reveal hidden events after 4PM (the meaningless default Tribe setup). This however doesn’t leave us with any possibility to hide “nighttime hours” (1AM – 8AM) which reveals when accidentally scrolling upwards within the calendar. This is both confusing and meaningless as there are no events during the night (!?!). So why is not possible to either lock the scroll function or set an optional “time frame” for the range of hours we want for our calendar?
This is getting ridiculous! We pointing out so many obvious faults, misbehavings and UX problems regarding your plugin and you blankly avoid that anything is wrong. We cannot cue up in your UserVoice system and hope that one day this will be fixed. We launched our site with great expectations using your plugin – carefully selected among many – but so far we had so many complaints from our visitors. IE 6, 7, 8, 9 problems, Filters Bar not working on iPhone, and this blody scrolling issue that frustrates people and make them unable to navigate in a proper manner.
What can we do to solve this? Who should we consult this with if not you?
If there’s a snippet for this scrolling issue then obviously it has been a problem before? So it’s an even bigger problem now – especially when the snippet no longer works with 3.5. So this needs fixing!
But Casey, have you spend just a minute on our site to see for yourself that it’s not possible to navigate it properly with everything scrolling up/down? Can you tell us how to remove/hide the 1AM – 8AM hours then? There must be a way to stop this inner scrolling thing? This is NOT a customization – this your users trying to get a decent result out of your plugin. We already had plenty of visitors complaining about this. Please advice.
In relation too all UX rules of navigation and proper user-experience the following will explain why avoiding scrolling within calendar is absolutely necessary:
