Hey Janet,

Thanks for the pointers to the 404 fix. Tribe should consider hiring you 🙂

Ok! Rather than changing the permalink setting as suggested by the fix, I just chose “Save changes”. No more 404 error.

Now I need to check if the dashboard event listing issue was also resolved.

[Andrew]

Janet,

Thanks for noticing this issue and potential solution. The fix says to “change” the permalink from the default. But I have already done that when the site was created.

Would you know if apply the fix has any risk of breaking file storage location of any content or attachments? After changing it, can I revert it back to my original permalink format?

I could also clone the site and try the fix there first.

Hey Brian,
Thanks for confirming the changes and suggestions for updating our widget styling. Would you say that continued use of the “The Events Calendar User CSS” plugin is the proper way to manage our styling mods?

Hi Brook,

Thanks for sharing the rational for the event list hover options. Indeed, users can be overwhelmed by too many UI options. Perhaps for the sake of usability and consistency, the ‘Trash’ and ‘Trash Series’ hover options could be removed, allowing for the two-click method you described.

I also like the dialog method that was employed by an older ECP version. So when the ‘Trash’ option is clicked, a dialog shows the ‘all’ or ‘just one’ option.

Please consider either of these to prevent users from unknowingly removing a ‘series’ with the ‘Trash’ option when their intention was to trash just one event.

-Cheers

btw, I will inform our users about the two-click method for removing events.

[Andrew]

After a bit more investigation, I found that ‘Trash Series’ only appears when you hover over the ‘first’ event in a series. For all others in a series, ‘Trash’ shows on hover over event.

This is somewhat annoying because you must find the first event in series to ‘Trash Series’. And there is no ‘Trash’ option to remove just the ‘first’ event in a series.

Hi Matthew,

The custom template in the Guide is the perfect solution. Thanks again for your investigation and suggestions.

Matthew,

Thank you the pointer to the codex. The ‘tribe’ parameter was the only item I was unsure about – I now understand its purpose.

With this patch as a good solution for my client, I wonder if it could be added to the Events Calendar core? It would be much easier to manage future TEC/ECP updates. Or perhaps I can create a custom template that resembles the patched “Default Events Template”?

-Andrew

After closer inspection of the Default Events Template at default-template.php, I found that adding edit_post_link() just after tribe_get_view() resolves the missing ‘edit link’. I’m just not sure about the parameter list:
<?php edit_post_link( __( ‘Edit’, ‘tribe’ ), ‘<span class=”edit-link”>’, ‘</span>’ ); ?>

[Andrew]

Matthew,

I tried a few of the configuration test cases you mentioned. Results are here:

The “Default Events Template” appears to be the source of the missing ‘edit link’. Unfortunately, we switched to this template for a more pleasing format. Our older site used the “Default Page Template” where the edit link did render properly.

Can you offer any suggestions for enabling the edit link in a “Default Events Template” configuration?

-Andrew

I have changed the month title in the past by editing the-events-calendar/public/template-tags/loop.php

Search for ‘Events for’, just below if( tribe_is_month() ). Delete or change that text as desired.

[Andrew]

Hello Matthew,

I also thought that was the case so a clean WP, 2013 theme and 3.6 was setup. It has no custom CSS, mods or other plugins. Still there is no Edit link.

I will try the suggested 3.4 configuration as well.

-Drew

[Andrew]

Will do. Thanks again.

[Andrew]

Barry,

Thank you for the quick reply. I already have enabled the start/end ‘date’ columns via dropdown filter. But the the start/end ‘time’ field is still missing.

That said, I tried adding time tags at the Display Settings for ‘Date with year’ and ‘Date without year’. This worked and now the Events list has time appended to the start/end date. Unfortunately, the ‘Date with year’ and ‘Date without year’ settings also affect other display areas – that haven’t have examined yet.

[Andrew]

Hello Barry,

This appears to be a false alarm caused by my upgrade process.

In stead of doing an incremental upgrade 3.4 -> 3.5 -> 3.6, I went directly to 3.6. This is how the end year got messed up for recurring events?

That said, on a clean WP install, 2013 theme, TEC/ECP 3.4, no other plugins, the incremental upgrade with 3.5 tribe-cleanup.php.zip worked – all database events show the correct ‘end year’ and the List Widget no longer shows the year as mentioned in OP.

Thanks for your detailed triage plan.

-Cheers
