Great to hear that got you where you need to be, Lydia. Let us know if we can do anything else and thanks again for your support so far.
Glad to hear you got this figured out, Weijing. If you need anything else down the road or if we can help in any other way please let us know.
Hey Andrew. Thanks for the follow-up here. Sorry to hear the tutorial there didn’t do the trick in getting this squared away. The patch should apply to existing events, as well as new ones (but I’d try creating a new one to see if that appears even if the others didn’t – as it’s possible that aspect has broken).
How “modified” is the theme? If you are on or have a staging/test site, it would be awesome if you could try this same patch with the default 2011 theme activated (and no other plugins turned on besides The Events Calendar/PRO 2.0.7). If it works there we’ll know this is a problem specific to theme or another plugin.
Let me know if you don’t think that’s doable and I’ll see what else I can offer up. Thanks for your patience so far.
Hey Nathan. In terms of officially supported solutions, it sounds like your best bet would either be the Eventbrite Tickets or Community Events add-on. Eventbrite Tickets allows you to have free events that folks RSVP for (along with paid, ticketed events) but both types have to be handled through Eventbrite. Community Events allows for frontend event submission but not registration per se; you’d have to hack it a bit to make that aspect work. It may be worth checking out whether you could make this happen via a third-party plugin like Gravity Forms, as well. While we can’t provide integration support for that level of customization it seems like some users have gotten it to work.
All that being said, we have had quite a few requests for a straight event registration aspect contained entirely within the site. There are no plans in the immediate future for this but my guess is that we’ll eventually incorporate something that does that and serves as a light-weight little add-on to the core plugin.
Hope that helps and sorry I couldn’t offer up more. If you have other questions please let us know.
Glad to hear this did the trick, Bob. Also awesome to see you here on the forums 🙂 Let us know if you need anything else down the road.
Hey guys (and anyone else interested in WPML/Events Calendar PRO integration). Our dev team has been looking into this pretty extensively the past couple weeks and have come to a few conclusions. What’s happening: we use home_url() to set up our permalinks. WPML actually has a filter that hooks into home_url such that they alter the home url from http://www.example.com/ to http://www.example.com/?lang=es. What that means is that we build out URL off of that, and the browser gets quite confused, because it comes out as http://www.example.com/?lang=es/events/month. We build our links off of home_url. It’d work fine if WPML were using add_query_arg() to append the parameter to urls rather than alter what the home url is, but as that’s not the case we’re left with limited options.
Ultimately, while there isn’t any change we can make to our code that can accomodate for this, changing the WPML Language URL Format to “Different languages in directories” will work just fine. From what we’ve seen, the majority of users use one of two options: Languages in directories or Languages in subdomains. Both should work fine.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if anyone else has questions on this and we’ll do what we can to address them.
Hi, Tyler – it appears you haven’t yet copied over the contents of widget-featured.class.php, based on what I’m seeing above. See the section towards the beginning of Jonah’s tut called Copy The Original Widget code.
I am seeing the code Jonah references within that file, on my end: http://d.pr/i/RPjT.
Hy Krysia. Thanks for the feedback; we have had quite a few requests for this and I know we’ve discussed (and will keep looking into) how to make it work. The challenge this presents is that the system doesn’t know how to treat those events with regard to others that do have start/end times, and it creates a problem with recurring events as one “begins” before the next one has technically “ended.”
This, too, is on the radar. No guarantees when it will make the cut but we know there is a demand for events lacking an end date/time and are trying best we can to accomodate that for a future release. Apologies that I couldn’t offer up more in the short-term. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi there Andrew. Thanks for reaching out here, and for your purchase of the PRO release. We appreciate your support.
At this point there isn’t a setting to do this built into the plugin, but based on user demand when we first launched 2.0, you have the ability to make this work via a quick tutorial we put together. Check it out: https://theeventscalendar.com/show-your-events-in-the-main-post-loop/.
That help? Let me know if not and I’ll see what else we can offer up.
Hey Tony. Thanks for confirming; at this point that’s sadly not doable. We’ve had an issue in our projects system for a month or so to resolve this and while we’d initially planned to introduce the functionality in 2.0.8 (coming next week), recoding the pages to account for this is taking more time than we’ve got this month. That being said it’s far enough along that we should have no problem being ready to deploy it in 2.0.9, which comes the first week of August.
Sorry I couldn’t offer up more in the short-term. Just know that relief is in sight and we are aware the pagination functionality needs to be added to venue pages accordingly. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions or anything.
Hey William. Thanks for confirming as much. It totally should be, if you use our template tags system. Have you checked out our documentation on those tags at https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation ? That’s definitely where I would suggest getting started. If that doesn’t do the trick, we also recently published this themer’s guide (https://theeventscalendar.com/themers-guide-to-the-events-calendar/) that may point you in the right direction.
Give those a go and let us know if you have any other questions along the way. Good luck!
Great to hear, Jen. Andy’s code will also be included in 2.0.8 when it comes out next week(ish), so look for an official solution at that point. I’m going to go ahead and close the thread for now since it seems like we’re pretty much set here. Thanks folks!
Thanks for confirming as much, Simon. Can we assume that you’re all set here then? If not, let us know and we’ll do whatever we can to get over what you need. Cheers and thanks for your support so far.
Hey Mike: that’s awesome to hear that did the trick to fix the issue. I truly have no idea why that would have been added to the theme’s functions.php file, but if other users running your same theme encounter this down the road I’ll point them towards the thread here. Thanks for the heads up on this front.
Can I assume you’re set here, now that it’s been some time since you made the change and I’m assuming would have noticed any quirks introduced? Let me know if so and I’ll close this out…otherwise I’ll follow-up to get you what you need. Cheers!
