Barry, I can understand why you can’t do more, because then it would be like giving WordPress and PHP lessons. You say, “This is in fact what our own list view does…”. What file in the plugin would I find the loop creating a month header. Not the top level file that just has one line of code, but the actual loop doing, “At the end of each loop, keep a record of the last event’s date”, as you say. Overall, I can see I just need to get better at my WordPress loops and PHP. Thank you.
I was thinking way to hard about this Geoff, and you might have thought I wanted a little extra which made the question appear to be more complicated than it was: It is not so much that I need a field pre-filled as much as I needed to display the event author on each event. That turns out to only need
<p><strong>Member Group:</strong> <?php the_author(); ?></p>…to do so. Case closed. I hope this helps someone else.
I appreciate the reminder that there is a number of events/posts in the Event Categories area. That is not really the information my client wants because of how much they monitor one category — “Featured Events”. Although, upon further research I think we’ve both forgotten another solution that I found, or maybe just I’ve forgotten. There is a “Filter” above the Events list in the dashboard. You CAN choose filter > EventsCat > Featured events > Apply and my client gets their result. Ideally, they asked I make a tab like the “Pending” tab that I created. See screen shot. Do you think it would be possible to make a Featured Events tab like the pending tab? Or, should I just tell them to use the filtering system I mention? Also, do you notice the 3 invisible links next to “All (125)”. Would you have any idea why the pending, published, etc… links disappeared to the right? I know these are slightly different questions but they all relate to the events page in the dashboard. My clients requested all of this be fixed and improved.
Now that I better understand how the Venue portion of the form is working, and that it does in fact come from the core plugin, and a function can not be written to filter the venue dropdown we are stuck with either no dropdown, or the dropdown as is. Thank you Geoff, you can close the topic.
My apologies Geoff, I’d forgotten that I posted my two questions separately. We do intend on keeping the Venue dropdown. I see your screenshot, and understand why my question is a little unclear without a screenshot. If you click on “use new venue” the dropdown button as seen in your screenshot, (if there are venues) there are two lists to choose from INSIDE of the dropdown: “my venues” and “available venues”. My client finds the “available venues” to be unnecessary and confusing to the members because they would never use other people’s venues. I’m wondering if there is a way to hide just the list of “available venues”, while keeping the list of “my venues”.
I’ll convey your explanation to my client regarding how venues can be managed and were intended to be managed. And, I’ll contribute my suggestion to the UserVoice forum.
I’ve gotten quite familiar with venue.php and how the venue dropdown is actually being pulled from the free events calendar plugin (Am I correct here?).
My client is leaning toward keeping the dropdown and accepting the limitation of a hidden address. Considering that we are keeping the dropdown: internally, in the dropdown is “my venues” and “available venues”. Is there a function I could write to remove “available venues”, but keep “my venues”? Notice the two sections in the dropdown. What makes this difficult for me is I’m not seeing what files handle this dropdown, so I was wondering if you knew of a way to hide that portion of the dropdown, while keeping the dropdown? CSS does not work.
For the most part, the Community events plugin is great. It is my client, a community of people, who all agreed that it was confusing to have the Venue information hidden to the person editing the event. You’ve got to admit, when you go to other membership sites to change your account address, the address isn’t hidden. I would agree with my client that fields should not be hidden if people want to edit them.
The second part to this question is removing “available venues” in the dropdown, is that possible? Again, people editing, don’t need other venues that don’t pertain to them. Is there a function that could be written to not display these. I tried CSS, but no luck.
Thank you,
StephenThank you Brian for all of your attempts. I do really appreciate your help. Unfortunately, these functions are not effecting the drop down menu containing “Use Saved Organizer” and “New Organizer” and “My Organizer” in the drop down. But, let’s stop. This is not so important. I simply removed the drop down menu altogether. Entering a new contact in the input field is how most forms are configured anyway. This is not worth spending hours working on when there is a simpler solution — taking it out altogether.
You are getting closer, but the one item that still says “Organizer” is the dropdown menu found on line 40:
<?php tribe_community_events_organizer_select_menu( $event ); ?>
in organizer.php in the folder community > modules folder. Could I have further help with this? Thank you Brian.The code is in the free events calendar plugin in the folder LIB. The file is the-events-calendar.class.php. The code I want to change is below:
if ( $organizers || $my_organizers ) { echo '<select class="chosen organizer-dropdown" name="' . esc_attr( $name ) . '" id="saved_organizer">'; echo '<option value="0">' . sprintf( __( 'Use New Contacts', 'tribe-events-calendar' ), $this->singular_organizer_label ) . '</option>'; if ( $my_organizers ) { echo $organizers ? '<optgroup label="' . apply_filters( 'tribe_events_saved_organizers_dropdown_my_optgroup', sprintf( __( 'My Contacts', 'tribe-events-calendar' ), $this->plural_organizer_label ) ) . '">' : ''; echo $my_organizers_options; echo $organizers ? '</optgroup>' : ''; } if ( $organizers ) { echo $my_organizers ? '<optgroup label="' . apply_filters( 'tribe_events_saved_organizers_dropdown_optgroup', sprintf( __( 'Available Contacts', 'tribe-events-calendar' ), $this->plural_organizer_label ) ) . '">' : ''; foreach ( $organizers as $organizer ) { $organizer_title = wp_kses( get_the_title( $organizer->ID ), array() ); echo '<option value="' . esc_attr( $organizer->ID ) . '"'; selected( ( $current == $organizer->ID ) ); echo '>' . $organizer_title . '</option>'; } echo $my_organizers ? '</optgroup>' : ''; } echo '</select>'; } else { echo '<p class="nosaved">' . sprintf( __( 'No saved %s exists.', 'tribe-events-calendar' ), strtolower( $this->singular_organizer_label ) ) . '</p>'; }Thank you for the quick reply, but unfortunately neither solutions work. 1. The function you talk about seems to only work for display to the general public. I’m needing to change a word on the community events member form “Organizers” to “Contacts”. It is a field on the form. 2. And, overwriting files seems to only work when the files are in the views folder. I tried moving the-events-calendar.class.php from the lib folder in the plugin to a lib folder in the theme and the file did not overwrite. I need further help.
Thank you so much Brian! That worked. At first I thought is wasn’t working because of a spelling error you made — “viewr”. Ha! You all at Tribe have made a fantastic plugin and my client and I are so happy with what it can do.
Is there a way to write a function that would change the text “Select” to “All Events” in the file tribe-filter.class.php (line 178). Or, am I stuck with it saying “Select”. If I am stuck, my not as good solution is having a category for the events that says “All Events”. If this is my only way to accomplish having a selection for “All Events”, then I have another question. Is there a way to have every event be saved under the default category “All Events”? I wouldn’t want to have to force the users to check that every time they make a new event. People would surely forget.
