Current month without events & template hooks

Hi!

Thank you for looking into this. I did some testing myself and would like to correct what I said before. It appears that I should have been more thorough in my reporting, since the current description is indeed a bit misleading & vague.

The function passed to add_action runs regardless of whether one is looking at the current month with or without events. However, my actual code doesn’t match the example 1:1, and this is where the problem seems to be.

Here’s what I’m using

add_action(
  'tribe_template_before_include:events/v2/components/events-bar/views', 
  function ( $file, $name, $template ) {          
    $template->template( 'components/contact' );
  },
  10,
  3
);

Like I said, this seems to run just fine. However, I put some “deadly” php into the contact.php template for testing, and that’s when things started to make more sense. Looking at the current month without any events does not cause the code to be executed for some reason.

Looking at your screenshot I noticed that you have other views (list, day) enabled. I only have month, although I doubt it makes a difference.

Let me know if I can be of more help or if you’ve managed to catch whatever obvious mistake I may be making here 🙂

Hi!

The contents of my contact.php are about as simple as what you used for testing. Just some html + very basic js. But I’m not even sure that’s relevant, given the “deadly” example I mentioned before. What made me curious was that when I added the aforementioned “deadly” die() to the beginning of contact.php, I could clearly see that the current month view without any events did not “die”, while other views (other months without or with events) did (which was, of course, what I expected).

Truth to be told, I’m not sure what to make of all this at the moment. I watched the video and saw no problems. I’ll try and dig a bit deeper next week at the latest. I have solved my initial problem by choosing a different approach, so this here needn’t be considered a support request per se, but it’d be good to figure out what’s going on.
