Thanks for following up Brian!

After testing, it appears that the related categories portion worked as needed

The code sent was just changing the order of the related events, not the ‘relation’ criteria. As said before if you only use event categories to relate events (and not tags) you shouldn’t see any events from other categories.

when viewing any event, the related items showing are not the next upcoming three events. It always shows the first three events in that related category.

Not sure about this. You just want the three next events, but not the related ones, but from any category? I mean, just the next three upcoming events, regardless any relation with the actual event?

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

Thanks for following-up Brian!

I can copy and paste with the best of them but customizing anything usually breaks my site and my spirit. I would love to have the help.

Sure, why cannot help much with customizations but this one is fairly easy so no problem with helping you out!

Just paste this code in your theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file:

/* Tribe, change related posts arguments */
function tribe_modify_related_posts_args ( $args ) {

$args['meta_key'] = '_EventStartDate';
$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value';
$args['order'] = 'ASC';

return $args;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_related_posts_args', 'tribe_modify_related_posts_args' );


Now, regarding the criteria to relate events by default the code looks into related events by tags AND event categories. If you only use event categories there shouldn’t be any problems with events mixing from different categories. Now, if you also use tags to relate these, then I can amend the snippet to just look into categories and not tags.

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

Thanks for the feedback Mathew! Seems you are better informed than me 😉 It’s always a pleasure when you chime in!

Please give us a heads-up when you have a chance to see if this works as expected. I’ve flagged this to be discussed at next team scrum… Should we add structured data (or at least the option) in all calendar pages? I see you have reached out in the past to make a point on this. If you want to add any opinions here (Brandon you are welcome to do it as well) feel free to do so!

Thanks,
Nico

Hola Gemma, como estas?

Gracias por ponerte en contacto con nosotros!

Básicamente hay dos opciones acá, la primera es ver “que” no funciona bien cuando usas la plantilla pre-determinada con el calendario e intentar arreglarlo. La segunda opción es crear una nueva plantilla, basada en la “plantilla de eventos” pero agregando el sidebar como lo hace la “platilla pre-determinada”.

Para checkear por que no funciona bien el calendario en la plantilla pre-determinada necesitaria un link para verlo en acción. O al menos saber que theme estas usando para intentar reproducirlo.

Para la segunda opción, necesitaria ver el código de la plantilla pre-determinada para entender como están agregando el sidebar y ayudarte a crear la nueva plantilla que lo incluya.

Espero tu respuesta para continuar,
Saludos,
Nico

Hey Brandon,

After some testing I came with a snippet to add the structured data to list view. Just paste the code below in your theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file and give this a try:

/* Tribe, add structured data to list view */
function tribe_list_view_structured_data ( ) {

// bail if not list view
if ( !tribe_is_list_view() ) return;

global $wp_query;

Tribe__Events__JSON_LD__Event::instance()->markup( $wp_query->posts );
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'tribe_list_view_structured_data');


I haven’t heavily tested this and not sure how it will behave with Google, but I guess it’s at least a good starting point to get this working.

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

Hi there Brandon,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! You are right our listing pages don’t have a specific output of structured data as the single events have’s.

Quick solution you can add an ‘Events List’ widget (which haves the option to output structured data) to the pages in which you want this data to be fetched. The not so quick solution (seems the folks from hawaii.com have done this) is to customize the event list templates (as explained in our themer’s guide) to add the necessary markup for each event to be recognized as such by Google. If you inspect the code from hawaii.com you’ll notice the hentry vevent and other classes that tag the event information.

I’ll explore a third option of outputing the ld+json structured data for list view via snippet, but not sure if it’s easily achievable. Give me a bit of time and I’ll get back to you on this.

Best,
Nico

Thanks for letting us know this is resolved Hans in such a funny way!

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but as usuaul if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Hi there Lance,

Thanks for reaching out to us on this! We have a quite extensive knowledge base article describing how this works and suggesting a couple of possible solutions.

Take a look and let me know if you have any doubts → The Trouble with Excerpts

You can also find a snippet to change the default excerpt length in this exchange. One last thing, please note the theme might be setting a default excerpt length as well!

Best,
Nico

Thanks for following up Felix!

Sorry for not being clear enough about it, but at the time this is not possible with our products. Not with the free version nor with a paid version.

You could get this working with some custom code, but as it’s not a feature of the product you might hit different blocker issues while trying to achieve this.

Best,
Nico

Hi Jenna,

Thanks for reaching out to us! Unfortunately we are not able to provide support in the pre-sales forum 🙁

We are happy to assist our premium users with support issues via our premium forums, please log into the account that has been created when the purchase was made. If you have not purchased one of our premium plugins, you can post in our open source forum. We review that forum weekly, mainly for bug reports.

To give you a quick answer, by default it’s not possible to move forward the calendar if there are no future events. There also no option to change this from the admin. Maybe you can add an event far in the future just for the calendar to enable pagination.

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but please do post in the appropriate forum and we will be happy to assist you.

Best,
Nico
