Thanks for the patience while I worked on this Josh!

Please try pasting the following code in your theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file:


/* Tribe, limit tribe bar date search to one day */
add_action( 'tribe_events_pre_get_posts', function( $query ) {
$ajax_or_main = ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) || $query->is_main_query();

if ( ! $ajax_or_main || empty( $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'] ) ) {
return;
}

if ( ! preg_match( '/^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$/', $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'], $matches ) ) {
return;
}

$end_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime( $matches[0] . ' +1 day') );

$query->set( 'end_date', $end_date);
} );


Please let me know if it works for you,
Best,

Hey Dan / Agnes,

Sorry for the delay in my reply! Let’s see how to do this!

First of all this is the markup of the pre-loader:







And this CSS will force the image form your site Dan:

.tribe-events-ajax-loading.tribe-events-active-spinner img{
display:none;
}

.tribe-events-ajax-loading.tribe-events-active-spinner {
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url('http://wildcat.mystudioengine.site/wp-content/uploads/preloader.gif');
background-position: 275px 230px;
height: 50px;
width: 150px;
}


Paste the code into your custom stylesheet or via Simple Custom CSS plugin. This might need a few adjustments but it’s a solid starting point 🙂

Best,
Nico

Hey Kamran,

I guess this was an unintentional post as you marked it as resolved. I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Best,
Nico

Hi there Dan,

Thanks for getting in touch!

Sure, this is doable 🙂 Can you please let me know how these ‘private’ events will be identified? Maybe by using a particular event category or tag?

Please let me know about it and I’ll provide a snippet for this,
Best,
Nico

Hey Neil,

Thanks for getting in touch with us and sorry to hear about these initial issues you are having 🙁 I can assure you we are working to make thing right again 🙂

Let me take a look to the backlog and find each of the issues…

Duplicate events, is that resolved? I’ve deleted all that were created, but found leaving them in the “Ignored” has stopped / slowed them being recreated. Those duplicates we also created with a blank user which made it a bit easier to spot.

Duplicates for legacy importer user were fixed in hotfix release 4.3.0.1 released a couple of days after the 4.3 release, so that should be fixed. Please note that if you delete all events, re-importing will re-create them, while leaving them as “ignored” will prevent them from being re-imported.

Facebook events created not having a Google map associated with it and in many cases no featured image?

There’s a related bug to the Show Google Map setting not being respected. Maybe this is what you are referring to? I don’t see any problems reported regarding featured image of imported events.

Facebook events not creating an Organiser like the previous import tool did, despite importing events from new organisers?

I could find this one logged, and stated to be released in 4.3.2 coming out next week. This might change due to time contains but due to the gravity of the issue I guess we will try to fit this in even if that delays the launch of the release.

I need the ability to merge duplicate venue’s so the events appear under the one correct venue. Multiple people use the same venue yet the name can vary slightly the Aggregator is creating multiple venues – how can this be done?

I guess this is not feature of the plugin, I mean if the venues have different names they won’t be recognized as the same one. Maybe I can help you create a custom snippet to merge these, but crafting the customization for you might be out of the scope of our support service. Can you describe what would work for you? How events should be recognized, etc?

Aggregator is working roughly 30% of the time, the history shows “Failed for an unknown reason” on many instances, and of course throws up a heap of error comments? In the help is says I’ve only used 5 of 100 imports.

We discovered and fixed a bug where on-demand imports were run by cron, resulting in a lot more imports than it should. This might be the cause of the issue. The logging has been imporved as well and we are looking to tweak it a bit more too.

When successful, it’s telling me X new events and X in total, but there’s no way of seeing a report on those X new events that were imported in that run, or is there?

No there is no way of seeing these imported events. A workaround I personally use is to set the new imported events as drafts and manually publishing them after a review. Setting a particular category for those events would work as well.

Once again I’m sorry for the hassle on the transition we are doing our best to get things working as they did (plus the improvements Aggregator adds).

Please let me know about the ‘merge’ snippet so I can give that a try,
Best,
Nico

Hey Gregory,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! I’ll help you on this 🙂

First of all let me say I just tried to reproduce this in my local test site but it’s working fine for me. Inspecting your site it looks like the pagination is generated by the theme and it’s not using the built in pagination in our plugin (basically next/prev links structure is different). Can you please switch to a default theme like Tweenty Sixteen to verify this?

Also, maybe the site is using the page template (or other template to render the events page) to change this go to WP-Admin > Events > Settings > Display > Events template and choose Default events template. Does this make it work?

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for getting in touch with us, and for your interest in our plugins 🙂

Can I choose the fields that participants have to fill in? (e.g.: title, description, pictures, location, category, etc.)

Yes, you can choose mandatory fields with a snippet (Required Fields for Events Submission Form). If you want to edit which fields are shown, then you can simple hide those via CSS or create a template override (themer’s guide) of the submission form.

Can I export the information of all events on Excel? Can select the information I want to export based on the fields? (e.g.: select all events in Germany, occuring on day x, in category x).

No unfortunately this is not a feature of our plugins, but there are many plugins that allow you to export your posts (or custom post types like ‘events’) to CSV (Excel reads this format): WP CSV, WP CSV Exporter, WP All Export, etc. Regarding the options available for export you should check each plugin to see if these options fit your needs.

If a participant makes a modification to his event, can I choose exactly which field need my approval? (I would like to receive a notification and validate on the description for example. And leave the participant the possibility to change other fields, like the location, pictures, etc., freely.

This is not a feature of Community Events as well. You can set the event back to ‘pending review’ once it’s edited (requires a simple snippet support will provide) but checking for the fields is something you should code on your own if needed.

One more thing, while we don’t have a trial period you can go ahead and purchase the products for testing. If you decide they are not what you are looking for, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. For more information take a look at our refund policy.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico

Hey Eric, thanks for the heads-up! All users of legacy importer plugins (iCal Importer or Facebook Importer) were automatically granted an Aggregator license with the same license start and expiry dates 😉

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

Best,
Nico

Hey @sparxoo! Stocked to hear you could make it work for your site 🙂

Hey Kris!

Sydney from the QA team could test this out but was unable to reproduce the issue with PHP 7 and pretty similar Apache and MySQL versions (2.2.29 – 5.5.42). So not sure if this is a legit bug or not.

Are you testing this in a local site or an online one? Does the hosting company have any special setup for WordPress or just a regular service?

Thanks,
Nico

[Nico]

Thanks for following April!

Yeah I guess some basic programming knowledge is needed for this. You can check this blogpost by George → Adding Code to Your Site When You’re Not a “Coder”. Anyway if you are not sure about it, I recommend touching base with a developer that can do this for you.

Best,
Nico

[Nico]

Glad to hear Shaun 🙂

I’ll leave this thread open until Alexander confirm he could make it work in his site.

Cheers,
Nico
