Something is wrong in the ‘add a new event’ section. I can’t get it to go to ‘visual’ it just goes to ‘text’ tabs in the event description area. so I can’t adjust how the image will flow with the text across the page. Here is how it looks right now.

And just got the Calendar Table add on, so I can list multiple events on one page. Is there instruction how to use it. A video or documents. Our there videos for all aspects on this plugin. Which add on will help me give event coordinators access to there events and there guest list to print out and just access to there event only. Roles & Permission Basic? Thanks for your help. Need to get this going so I can launch this website.

Hi Eric,

Something is wrong in the ‘add a new event’ section. I can’t get it to go to ‘visual’ it just goes to ‘text’ tabs in the event description area.

Do you have any plugins that add buttons to the post editor, such as but not limited to Ultimate TinyMCE? If so try adding this plugin, it should help – https://github.com/joshfeck/remove-extra-editor-buttons

And just got the Calendar Table add on, so I can list multiple events on one page. Is there instruction how to use it. A video or documents.

Here – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/custom-template-add-on/

Our there videos for all aspects on this plugin.

Not yet, but it is on our to do list.

Which add on will help me give event coordinators access to there events and there guest list to print out and just access to there event only. Roles & Permission Basic?

Roles and Permissions Basic will give admin access to users, so ideally you would want to use Roles and Permissions Pro. Please note that Pro requires Basic to be installed otherwise it will not function.

That link doesn’t go to a plug in

is there an email where I can send you screenshots, of the problem I’m having

Hi,

The link does go to a plugin, it is just not on WordPress.org, see here for where you can download it http://take.ms/aCCET

If the images hold sensitive data they can be emailed to support@eventespresso.com along with a link to this thread. If they do not hold sensitive data then we would appreciate it if you can just link to them on the forums via a service such as imgur.

Hi Dean,

Thank you for your help. I did download that plugin but it didn’t fix my issue.
Sometimes you open up the event editor and shows the text and sometimes it doesn’t.
The visual tab doesn’t work at all in the ‘event description’ area. I sent you an email with a screenshot and login for the site. and referenced a link to this thread.

On another note, is it possible to change the ‘Register Now’ button font part of it, that is on the ‘table calendar template’ add on. It says it’s customizable.
Where do I get instruction on that part of it.


Dean

Hi Eric.

I didn’t want to try this as it will likely take your site offline for a short while, but I think what you need to do is troubleshoot.

Change the theme to a default theme such as Twentytwelve and see if the visual editor works.

If not disable all addons except the core EE plugin and make sure the visual editor works.

Then bring each add on back online one by one, testing each time until a plugin is discovered that causes the issue.

Then it’s a case of either disabling that plugin permanently or seeing if it is something we can work around.

Please note that EE4 should not have this issue as it uses true WordPress Custom Post Types.

ok, I will try all that..

Hi Eric,

The template has four images:

buytix.png
closed.png
register-now.png
waiting.png

if you upload png images with the same names to the templates directory it will change the images.


Eric Mourer

February 19, 2014 at 12:34 pm

Thank you, which php file/folder in the templates directory to switch out those png files?

I changed the theme to a default theme such as Twentytwelve and the visual editor does work..so how I’m going to work around that? I am now assuming it’s not a plug in, that is causing the problem but this theme I’m using?

Can I also make the ‘event title’ text a little smaller on the title of the event on ‘table calendar template’
‘HUNT AND MATCH MIXER AT V LOUNGE ON 3/12’

-thank you for your help

Hi,

The directory is wp-content/plugins/espresso-template-calendar-table

If the Plugin Josh made does not work to remove the extra buttons (and it should in 99% of cases) then the only resolution would be to edit the theme to make it work.

Regarding the font size, add the following to your themes style.css or even better to a plugin like My Custom CSS, and just change the 14px to another number.

.cal-table-list .event-title a {
font-size: 14px;
}


Eric Mourer

February 20, 2014 at 10:57 am

thank you Dean. can I also add code to make that ‘event title’ bold text as well.

I would also like remove the text that says ‘Band / Artist Tickets’

Just add this under the “font-size” code Dean posted above:
font-weight:bold;


Eric Mourer

thanks Seth! Do you know how I would remove the text that says ‘Band / Artist Tickets’

Hi Eric,

Initially, I tried this in Developer tools:

.th-event-info, .th-tickets {display:none}

However, that caused your register button to shrink.

Another idea is to set the font to match the background so its not visible:

.th-event-info, .th-tickets {color:#FFFFFF}


Lorenzo


Eric Mourer

February 20, 2014 at 10:48 pm

cool, thank you that worked for tickets
how about ‘Band / Artist’?

It tried, this but didn’t work
th-event-info, .th-Band / Artist {color:#FFFFFF}

To remove ‘Band / Artist’ you could use:

.cal-table-list .cal-header {
color: #fff;
}

It seems you don’t need the cal-header row at all? If you don’t mind editing a little php/html you can modify the template to remove the full row if you prefer.

Just open espresso-template-calendar-table/index.php, on lines 94-97 you should see:

<tr class="cal-header">
	<th><?php echo !isset($show_featured) || $show_featured === 'false' ? __('Date','event_espresso') :  '' ?></th>
	<th class="th-event-info"><?php if(isset($change_title)) { echo $change_title; } else { _e('Band / Artist','event_espresso'); } ?></th>
	<th class="th-tickets"><?php _e('Tickets','event_espresso'); ?></th>
</tr>

Simply remove it, save the template & reload the page. Now you’ll notice the same issue Lorenzo did with the Register Now image shrinking.

Add:

.cal-table-list .td-event-register {
min-width: 90px;
}

To your CSS to fix it.

I uploaded a new register now png into the directory but it’s not showing up..

Hi Eric,
The template has four images:
buytix.png
closed.png
register-now.png
waiting.png
if you upload png images with the same names to the templates directory it will change the images.

never mind on the template image swapping, it’s working now. buytix.png, etc.

Actually, it’s working on this page…

and something is wrong with the register now button on this page

The problem is caused by this rule within your themes style.css file:

media="all"
img, .wp-caption {
display: inline-block;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
border: none;
}

Which basically states ANY img within the site can only be as size as its parent.

Using Chrome Dev Tools to remove

max-width: 100%;

Displays the image correctly http://take.ms/MLExS

I would advise to contact the theme developer to fix this.

Hi Eric,

You can go to Event Espresso>Template settings and set “Display an “Add to my Calendar” icon/link in the event templates?” to No to make the ical link go away.


Eric Mourer

February 24, 2014 at 8:18 pm

thank you Tony and Josh. that was all good.

Any chance of making the line thicker between each event or black in color..

Yes, you add something like this to your custom stylesheet:

.cal-table-list td {
border-top: 2px solid #888888 !important;	
}

.cal-table-list {
border-collapse: collapse;
}

.cal-table-list tr:first-of-type td {
border: 0!important;
}


Eric Mourer

Hi Josh,
It tried that, added it all to the css, but it didn’t work..

Hi,

The problem here is that the template styles are using some !important tags (I will request these to be removed in future updates).

The only way I could get it to darken those lines was by installing the My Custom CSS plugin and using the slightly modified code below

.cal-table-list tr td {
border-top: 2px solid #888888 !important;  
}
 
.cal-table-list {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
 
.cal-table-list tr:first-of-type td {
border: 0!important;
}

Hi Eric,

You might also need to add a parent container ID or class to the above style rules as well. This will increase the specificity.


Eric Mourer

February 27, 2014 at 10:29 am

Hi Josh,

Can you let me know how to do that by chance? Thanks for your help Josh


Josh

Normally you find a parent element with an ID with Firebug or the web inspector.

On the theme that’s on your site, it has a div with an ID of page-post, so you add #page-post followed by a space like this:

#page-post .cal-table-list td {
border-top: 2px solid #888888 !important;	
}

#page-post .cal-table-list {
border-collapse: collapse;
}

#page-post .cal-table-list tr:first-of-type td {
border: 0!important;
}

That should do if, but if it doesn’t, you’ll need to apply those styles either inline with something like the my custom CSS plugin or add them to the end of the calendar table template’s stylesheet. If you place them in the theme’s stylesheet they could get overridden.

thanks Josh, will try that..

On my event page under each event listing, it wants to pull a location

Where: , ,

http://www.vipsinglesevents.com/los-angeles-2/

I filled in an address but it doesn’t show up, under advanced settings
do you know where this is pulled from or if it doesn’t work how to delete it


Dean

Hi,

It pulls the data from the venue, so you would need to add a venue via the Venue Manager and then apply that to the event itself.

To remove it would require a template edit, remove these two lines from the espresso-template-calendar-table/index.php:

<?php _e('Where:', 'event_espresso'); ?>
<?php echo stripslashes_deep($event->venue_address.', '.$event->venue_city.', '.$event->venue_state); ?><br />
