Hi there Saif,

Thanks for reaching out to us and also for your interest in our products! Let’s jump into your questions…

Needed:
Wordpress – unless it’s super, super perfect in other ways. My website is WP, want the calendar to be too.
OPEN EVENT SUBMISSION – is pretty much required. I need the ability for strangers to post to my calendar 🙂
Event Categories – for sure since there are at least 7 truly different groups
Recurring events supported
Map – displaying the location of the event on a map, on the event page.
QUALITY SEO URLS – not crap

• Our products are built just for WordPress.
• Open event submission: we have a specific add-on for that! Check out the Community Events product page for more details on how it works.
• Event Categories: we do have them!
• Recurring events & Map view: these are feature of Events Calendar PRO.
• Regarding event URLs, these are formed with the event slug. For example: http://sitename/event/super-soccer-match/

Things that would be really nice:
Event Tags – would be nice; at this point I’m willing to substitute with searches hardcoded into pages…
Calendar view per category – would be nice. (embedding category A’s calendar view on one page, category B’s on another, etc. )
Newsletter integration – some sorta mail chimp love – just highlights?
Calendar Search
All Events on one map view
Facebook Event Calendar Syncing / addition
Event Comments
Event Comment notifications for the author when someone comments on their event.
Easy Social Media sharing
Customizing at least colors, if not layout

• Tags: events use default WordPress tags, but you can easily create a new taxonomy (“Event Tags”) an assign it just to events.
• Category views: you can link users to category specific views, like http://sitename/events/category/soccer/ and you can also use PRO widget shortcodes to embed a mini calendar filtered by category.
• Newsletter integration: we do not have any built-in feature for this, but it might be achievable with some third-party extension or with an RSS-to-email plugin.
• Calendar Search: we have an ‘events bar’ with lets users search events by search term, date and distance.
• Map view: as stated above this is part of Events Calendar PRO.
• Facebook Events: there’s a add-on for this as well, check it out: Facebook Events.
• Event Comments & notifications: you can enable default WordPress Comments for events, so it works as comments on posts or pages.
• Easy Social Media sharing: we do not have any option for this, but this article explains how to do it: Adding social media sharing to events.
• Customizing colors: Events Calendar PRO integrates with WordPress customizer so you can tune colors in the calendar easily: PRO color customizer. If you want to go beyond that, our themer’s guide explains how to override template and stylesheets.

Which plugins do you need? So, from what you described as needed and as nice to have, you’ll surely need: Events Calendar PRO and Community Events. Adding Facebook Events or Filter Bar will surely tune up the site but they don’t seem to be critical for the core functionality you describe. We have some plugins bundles that might come handy!

Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them. If you are not happy with the results, you can ask for a refund within 30 days of purchase.

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

Hi there CJ,

Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in our products!

While what you describe is not a built in feature, it’s possible with some custom code / tweak. Up front I imagine having a category for your events which can be visually distinguished and shown at the top of the listing. At the forums we can only give limited support to customizations like this one, but we can always give some advice on the way to craft them.

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

Hey Donna,

Thanks for following up! Indeed this seems to be merged with the other issue as you say… When the list view events-count issue gets resolved this will be ok!

Do you mind if I close this one and we continue to work on the list view issue in the other thread you opened?

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

Hola @ Mad for Swing,

Perdón que respondí en ingles a tu post original! Vamos en castellano ahora 🙂

Por el momento te puedo proveer un pequeño snippet de código para hacer la re-dirección a la vista de lista si el usuario entra a la vista semana desde un dispositivo móvil. Debes pegar este código dentro del archivo functions.php del theme (o child theme):


/*
* The Events Calendar - Redirect Mobile Users to List View
*/
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'tec_mobile_template_redirect' );
function tec_mobile_template_redirect() {
if( tribe_is_week() && wp_is_mobile() ) {
wp_redirect( tribe_get_listview_link() );
exit();
}
}


Espero que sirva mientras solucionamos el bug que impide ver la grilla semanal en dispositivos moviles.

Saludos,
Nico

Hey Eve,

Thanks for following up! Sorry for the confusion on template you are trying to edit!

You’ll find the single event template in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php. This template is part of the core plugin, that’s why it’s not present in the pro folder. Reviewing the themer’s guide I cannot find a reference to this template being in PRO, if you do please point that out so we can correct it!

If you are using PRO additional fields (built-in custom fields for events), you don’t need to edit the template, the field label/value will show up in the event meta section.

Please let me know if you still need help with this,
Best,
Nico

Indeed, that’s what we hope too!

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,

Hey Karen,

Thanks for following up! Sorry for the confusion as you mentioned Brian snippet to redirect to list view on mobile I thought you were using it or something. The snippet is the following:

https://gist.github.com/jesseeproductions/fc21ce52314f31dc230b

Just add the code above to your theme (or child theme) functions.php file and it should redirect month view on mobile to list view.

Regarding the dev site, Can you please follow the steps described in our Testing for conflicts guide? This way we can see if this is a problem in our plugin or a conflict with the theme or other installed plugins. This way you’ll be sure if what you are seeing relates to our codebase, or maybe it’s the theme that’s making the undesired styling you mentioned in your first post here.

Best,
Nico

Hi there Riccardo,

Unfortunatelly that’s not possible by default. A while back a user in the forums wrote a plugin to achieve this (if you are using WooCommerce), I’ve reviewed the plugin at the time and it was working smoothly but I see it hasn’t been updated since so not sure if it will work for you. Here’s the plugin: https://github.com/thebeard/events-calendar-pro-organizer-mail

Please give a try and let me know,
Best,
Nico

PS: giving your description a second read I guess you might be talking about the single event view?

[Nico]

Hi Eve,

Thanks for reaching out to us on this! I can help you here…

One way of doing this is to create a template override (check the themer’s guide for further details on how to do this) of the file wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/list/single-event.php. You can also hook to one of the actions in that template like tribe_events_after_the_content, this action is used in all single event description in events listings (list, day, photo, map), that might be something good or not depending your use case.

Please let me know if this answers your question,
Best,
Nico

Hi Carl,

Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us!

Multilingual content can be achieved by using WPML plugin, which plays nice with The Events Calendar and PRO. We have an article reviewing how to set this up: Setting up The Events Calendar with WPML.

Do you think this might be a good solution for your project?

Please let me know about it,
Best,

Hi Paul,

Thanks for reaching out to us on this! Nice customization on the tickets form, but I can understand how this conflicts with custom attendees meta.

So, to start off let me share a screenshot of how this looks in the plugin with default WordPress theme: https://cloudup.com/cBf09cxgKk2 – In this case I’m asking for the attendees name.

The thing is you do not have quantity selector in your ‘tickets form’, which won’t create the necessary fields for each attendee information. The code that generates the ticket meta form is located at wp-content/plugins/event-tickets-plus/src/views/meta.php and each field type has a view file as well inside the /meta/ folder.

On the top off my head I’m not sure if it’s possible to include this in the cart or checkout easily, but it’s probably doable. Maybe taking a peep into the attendees meta gives you an idea of how that could work. Maybe you can add a tickets quantity selector to the actual form and show attendees meta form in a modal or something like that when the user clicks on ‘Add to cart’?

Please let me know if this info helps, basically I cannot think of an straightforward whay of achieving this,
Best,
Nico

Hey @cacpro,

Thanks for reaching out to us! Interesting questions here…

Let me recap a bit, you need to add a page in the following URL: http://site/events/past-programs/? In that case as you say the user will be redirected to the past events listing.

Running a quick test locally I can see this only happens if the page slug actually starts with past, but if you change the slug to something else like the-past-programs then no redirection will happen. Do you think that might be an acceptable workaround?

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

Hola Javier, como estas?

Un gusto tenerte a bordo como cliente 🙂

Básicamente es una cuestión de estilos. No se que tan al día estas con CSS, pero ese es el camino a seguir. Usando el inspector de elementos del navegador (hay muchos recursos que explican como usarlo – este vídeo puede ser un buen comienzo), puede ver que estilos (margenes, tipografías, colores, etc) tienen asignados los distintos elementos del widget.

Generalmente no podemos ayudar mucho a los usuarios con customizaciones de CSS ya que consideramos que eso (así como instalar y customizar un theme) es tarea de un desarrollador web. De todas maneras haz me saber si te sirvió este tip y pudiste llegar a buen puerto o todavía necesitas ayuda.

Saludos,
Nico

Thanks for the feedback Robert. Sorry again for the hassle dealing with this…

We are looking forward to release 4.1.1 next week, so hopefully this will be finally solved.

Thanks for the patience while we work this out,
Best,
Nico
