• Hey there!

    Great looking plugin, sir. I’m giving it a test drive developing a movie festival site. I’m treating the movies as events. I would need for an event not only to be recurring, but to occur in different venues at different times. Is this possible with little tweaking?

    Thank you in advance,

    Gorka

    Hi Gorka,

    Unfortunately not. Venues are taxonomy terms and an event (rather than occurrence) is associated with that venue. The different times is potentially possible, but the current user interface doesn’t allow for altering times on a per-date basis, and there maybe parts of the codebase which implicitly assume a universal time.

    Each occurrence which requires a different venue and/or time needs to be created as a new event. What you can do instead is create the event (with all the dates), and then ‘break’ (from the event) each occurrence you need to edit. This occurrence will inherit everything from its parent event but is otherwise a completely independent event. On the face of it (e.g. the calendar) there’ll be noticeable difference).

    You can break an occurrence by selecting it in the admin calendar and selecting ‘break occurrence’.

    Hey Stephen,

    I’m going to try what you’re saying. For now, I had to create a custom movie post type, create several events with exactly the same name and query them. If their slug/post-name begins the same, they will be related in the templates.

    It would be very useful to add the venue for the event in the eo_get_events query!

    Thank you
