[Plugin: The Events Calendar] template issue

Hello Shadowq…

I tried your fix to make the plugin working with Athaualpa… no luck…
I get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /web/htdocs/MY DOMAIN NAME/home/blog/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/events/single.php

Any idea on what to do?

I am using a theme called Unite and have the same problem — the calendar ‘view all events’ and ‘single event’ views remove the sidebar from my theme and extend out over the site content area. I’m not very experienced with coding these things and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. My site is https://www.georgeandjodi.com – to see the problem, checkout https://georgeandjodi.com/?p=18 and for the view all events – https://georgeandjodi.com/?cat=3&eventDisplay=month

Thanks so much for anyone who can help!

i temporarily fixed my problem (with the side bar at least) by adding tables to the three pages discussed on this thread. I know tables are ‘the best way’ to code anymore…but they seemed to work find for getting this to work with my theme ??

Hi, i have the same error and am using a different template all together. When the event is on its own, the font is huge, and in the calendar and the post, it looks just fine.

I tried editing the header and footer as Shadowq mentioned, but that didn’t work for me, I got a parse error too just like silvater.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Dear all,

I got some fab support in fixing the issue (lack of sidebar) when using the atahualpa theme (really thanks to the people on the forum there!).
If you are interested, the relevant post is

https://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?p=30409#post30409

It also include an edited set of files to add to your
/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/events/
(scroll down to msg 17)

@sacredpractice You have to set the width of #tec-content in the CSS. It’s probably too wide which would cause your sidebar to be pushed down. Also make sure the float is correct.

I’m going to try the suggested edit for Atahualpa but it seems like one person has said that it didn’t work. I also want to display the calendar on a Page rather than an archive page.

I’ve been following this thread on the BFA forum:

I haven’t gotten this to work yet with Atahualpa 3.5.3. Both the plugin and the theme have been updated since this thread began and I have found that the code example posted here by @shadowq is no longer accurate. I have tried a few ways of adding the Atahualpa 3.5.3 header code to the TEC’s single.php template and so far have gotten the page to display without error but the sidebar does not display on those posts.

Another strange thing that’s going on is that I have this plugin on two sites. For the first site I wrote the theme myself and the plugin works flawlessly. The second site uses Atahualpa and I don’t get the Show Google Map: checkbox or label in admin. I only have Show Google Map Link:. Any ideas about that?

Both sites are WP 3.0.1 and TEC v.1.6.4 and running PHP 5.

Thanks

To make the calendar appear on a page can I make a page template by taking code from the plugin’s gridview.php and saving it as page-calendar.php in the atahualpa folder (I already have a page called Calendar)?

You know what would be really nice for everybody and would be great for page display? Shortcode. I guess that’s a feature request.

Thanks

My client has decided not to go with the calendar but if anyone figures it out, please post it.

It’s a great plugin. These kinds of issues crop up with the more advanced themes because they are not as easy to modify as the good old-fashioned themes.
