[Plugin: The Events Calendar] tribe_get_start_date() not working after update (2.0.2)

I am getting the same issue as well, post-upgrade.

Thanks for reporting this, guys. We’ve got the devs looking at it now – I’m unable to recreate on my end, but since you’re all reporting it there sounds to be something definitely up. If you can post more about your situation here, as mrwweb suggests, I’ll be checking it consistently this week and can pass that on to the team accordingly to make sure this is addressed as soon as possible.

Right – this doesn’t sound recurrence-specific, since free doesn’t include recurring events anyway.

Hey guys, just a heads up that while we’re fixing this for 2.0.3, Nick has put together a brief blog post on a workaround that can fix it in the interim. Hopefully this will help: http://tri.be/patch-for-the-events-calendar-2-0-2-date-bug/. Let us know if it doesn’t, and apologies for the inconvenience.

This did work for me.

I am a brand new user of The Events Calendar because I had to migrate a standalone WordPress 3.0.4 site into our WordPress 3.2.1 multisite network. The month view is pretty nice; I could see budgeting for the Pro version next FY.

Anyway, I upgraded their events from version 1.6.4 to 2.0.2 of The Events Calendar, and I noticed the Start Date, End Date bug mentioned here, and the hotfix from Nick Ciske’s blog post solved that problem. Which is great, because the missing Date was causing some weird alignment issues in the tribe-events-event-meta section.

However, I am still noticing another odd problem with the way the Events List Widget interacts with the individual event page. Before the hotfix, when the individual event was displayed, and that upcoming event was in the sidebar, both the start and end date for that event were missing in the sidebar; just a hyphen. And other event in the sidebar was missing the end date. Example:

UPCOMING POETRY EVENTS
January 30, 2012 8:15 pm –
Susan Stewart & Mark Strand
–
Terrance Hayes

After the hotfix, the former was fixed, but not the latter. The end date does not display for the other event. You can see problem swapped between the two sidebar events at both links.

And another possible bug with the widget. When paging back to older entries from the main page, the upcoming events disappear from the Events List Widget.

Also, not to hijack the thread with a completely different bug (or feature?), but on the same Poetry site, I noticed that the site authors had never filled in an Organizer. So on all of the individual event pages, it filled in the Organizer field with the Event Title. Even though the Organizer Name is still blank in the Edit Event screen. See the two individual event links above and this one:

Yes, the updated Pastebin version fixed the end date issue in the sidebar widget. Thanks.
