Show only full size calendar on location page

Thanks agelonwl.

I tried the suggestions and observed the following effects:

1. Added long_events=1, Display calendar events in pages was already set

-> Effect = nothing observable

2. Added single-location.php with the following content:

<?php
/*
 * Remember that this file is only used if you have chosen to override location pages with formats in your events manager settings!
 * You can also override the single location page completely in any case (e.g. at a level where you can control sidebars etc.), as described here - http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types#Template_Files
 * Your file would be named single-location.php
 */
/*
 * This page displays a single event, called during the em_content() if this is an event page.
 * You can override the default display settings pages by copying this file to yourthemefolder/plugins/events-manager/templates/ and modifying it however you need.
 * You can display events however you wish, there are a few variables made available to you:
 *
 * $args - the args passed onto EM_Events::output()
 */
global $EM_Location;
/* @var $EM_Location EM_Location */
echo  $EM_Location->output_single();
?>

-> Effect:

Fatal error: Call to a member function output_single() on a non-object in /…/schedz/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/single-location.php on line 16

I suspect that the file contents are insufficient, but need some pointers on how to address it.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks again agelonwl.

I tried the snippet. It eliminated the error, and shifted the event listing left; but the events are still output in a list, not the calendar format.

In addition the [events_calendar location=6 full=1 long_events=1] shortcode is being output as literal text and is not being interpreted as instruction.

Thoughts?

Thanks Marcus!

I edited the single-location.php file with a modification of your suggested code. That solved the calendar display issue; however the code does not filter calendar events by location. I am sure that it’s due to my less than elementary PHP coding skills.

Here is the code that I am using in single-location.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>
 <div id="primary" style="width: 50%">
         <div id="content" role="main">
                 <?php
                         global $post;
                         $EM_Location = em_get_location($post->ID, 'post_id');
                 ?>

                 <header class="entry-header">
                         <h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo $EM_Location->output('#_LOCATIONNAME'); ?></h1>
                 </header>
                 <div class="entry-content">
						 <?php echo EM_Calendar::output(array('location'=>'$EM_Location', 'full'=>1, 'long_events'=>1)); ?>
                 </div>
         </div>
 </div>
 <?php get_footer(); ?>

Any suggestions?

Thanks again.

Thank you very much agelonwl. That worked perfectly.

One last question: How do I make the calendar fit the entire width of the page?

Thanks!

Thanks agelonwl. I tried the CSS snippet, but it made no difference in the calendar presentation on the location listing page. It looks like the page layout has a blank left sidebar, but the sidebar space is not available to make the content area larger.

Marcus, I checked the “Using Template Files” documentation (http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/) to make sure I was putting the file in the correct path and now I believe the documentation is incorrect. The documentation says:

We’ll give you a common example, using the above folder structures, which is overriding the large calendar. This file is located at wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/templates/calendar-full.php.
Rather than editing this file directly, copy it to wp-content/themes/twentyten/plugins/events-manager/templates/calendar-full.php and edit it there, as it will not be overwritten when you update Events Manager.

However, it seems like the override only occurs when the file (single-location.php in my case) is placed in wp-content/themes/twentyten/ — it does NOT work when placed in wp-content/themes/twentyten/plugins/events-manager/templates/.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Thanks agelonwl.

The problem was due to the template file naming: I placed the file in

wp-content/themes/Your current theme name/plugins/events-manager/templates/

but it was named “single-location.php” instead of “location-single.php”. The override worked as soon as I made this change.

However, the calendar still does not fill the entire page. The contents of “location-single.php” is as follows:

<?php get_header(); ?>
  <div id="container">
   <?php
    global $post;
     $EM_Location = em_get_location($post->ID, 'post_id');
   ?>
   <div class="entry-content" style="width: 100%">
	   <?php echo EM_Calendar::output(array('location'=>$EM_Location->location_id, 'full'=>1, 'long_events'=>1)); ?>
   </div>
  </div>
 <?php get_footer(); ?>

The page can be viewed at this URL: http://netritus.com/locations/zenna-dallas/

As you can see, the content area does not span the left sidebar, so the space is unusable.

I think this is probably a simple page layout issue; but I am a wordpress newbie so I am not yet familiar with how to properly code the page.

Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it!
