1. Venue Description – It doesn’t show up. I want to add my email address and a few other things that aren’t available through the fields. This is a perfect spot and would save me time and reduce errors. That being said. It doesn’t show up on the event page. Is there a setting I’m missing?
2. Again on my theme of reducing time and errors.
– Event Options Allow Group Registration – the default is no. For us it almost always need to be yes
– Event Options Alternate email. I always want to use an alternate email as this information goes to a different department.
– When I Duplicate of an event it takes me to a page with with just the event and the id number is the id of the original event. To get to the duplicate event I need to go back to all events view and select the duplicate which I assume is the one with the new number. I don’t get this. If I’m duplicating an old event and I work on the original won’t I be screwing something up?
3. What Does Retrieve rows from Database at a time do?
4. Duplicating a page copies the Unique Identifier. This is confusing because the new event most likely won’t have anything to do with the old event. Is the Unique Identifier used in any way that might result in future confusion in my reports or to someone registering. I did read in the forum that it can’t be changed.
5. Calendar View
– Why is the pop-up information box popping up when in event options the display description has been set to no.
– Why is the information on the pop-up box showing when in event options the display description has been set to no.
– When I scroll ahead a couple of months and click on an event, when I close the event box and return to the calendar it takes me back to the current month instead of the one I was looking at. Is there any way to have it return to the month I was looking at?
6. How do I adjust the CSS on the upcoming events widget. Firebug isn’t finding the code.. Specifically the left sidebar widget on the hem page. http://aiact.org/workspace/
Thanks in advance. You guys have been amazing. I just found your YouTube Channel. Gotta love the green hat.

1. For the venue description, you would have to add this into the event_list_display.php template file at line 96:
<?php echo stripslashes_deep($location); ?><br />
<?php echo stripslashes_deep($venue_meta['description']); ?>
and for the registration page, the same code, but at line 114 of registration_page_display.php

I can add a note about #3, the retrieve button lets you control the number of events you see in the event overview. There’s some documention here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/event-overview/#30_
With the Unique Event Identifier, I’ve not seen it where it duplicates it when you duplicate the event. The first part is the same, but the last part is based on the unix timestamp so it’s always different.
With the calendar questions:
– Why is the pop-up information box popping up when in event options the display description has been set to no.
This is actually a calendar setting: Show tooltips. The event option to display the description will only affect the registration page display.
– When I scroll ahead a couple of months and click on an event, when I close the event box and return to the calendar it takes me back to the current month instead of the one I was looking at. Is there any way to have it return to the month I was looking at?
There isn’t.
With the upcoming events widget, your sidebar id is sidebar-1 and the class is events, so something like this should work to style paragraphs (for example) in the widget:
#sidebar-1 .events p {
/* style rules here */
}

Thanks for the answers. A couple I didn’t get an answer on.
1. Yes the unique identifier does add the unique code. Will this identifier appear any reports or on any registration documents generated by the database? It would be confusing.
2. When I Duplicate of an event it takes me to a page with the original event id number. To get to the duplicate event I need to go back to all events view and select the duplicate to edit it. Shouldn’t I be working on the duplicate event? If I work on the original will I be creating a problem if people have already registered for it? It’s an extra step to go back to the duplicate and this ads up when adding a lot of events.
Thanks again for your excellent support.

So with #1, it would be confusing because the event name for the copied event is not the same as the event it was duplicated from? If both events had the same name or similar names it wouldn’t be confusing right?
With #2 I went ahead and created a ticket to change the event duplication process
so that it would take you right to the new event. I can’t say when this idea can be implemented into the development cycle but it’s a good idea.
It sounds like what you’re trying to do isn’t so much duplicating an event but using one event as a set of defaults in order to speed up the event creation process.
Have you looked into using the event importer?

Thanks Josh, I should have thought of that. It makes sense to import an CSV file each month to generate the new events.
