I'm using the events calendar plugin for Wordpress with a Timber based theme. I'm currently using a previously documented method to integrate which is here:
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/events-pages-not-showing-up-in-timber-based-theme/
Since v5 of the plugin there is an option [set to default too] which uses the updated calendar and event designs that breaks my current integration method. I've tried to update my template PHP files but with little success.
The legacy functions which are relatively simple to call using the function() method in Timber are:
<?php tribe_events_before_html(); ?>
<?php tribe_get_view(); ?>
<?php tribe_events_after_html(); ?>
https://timber.github.io/docs/guides/functions/
However in the v2 templates added to The Events Calendar in v5 they are calling a class, e.g:
use Tribe\Events\Views\V2\Template_Bootstrap;
get_header();
echo tribe( Template_Bootstrap::class )->get_view_html();
get_footer();
The main problem I have is that I'm unsure how to expose this class to the Timber context. If anyone could give me a steer it would be much appreciated. What I have now works fine but the tribe_get_view function is deprecated and considered legacy so is not going to be around for ever so I need to come up with some sort of solution.
Thanks!
Right so the method I posted is no longer require at all and neither is a work around. Just make sure you have a page-plugin.twig template available. Hopefully this will help anyone else who ends up in a bit of a rabbit hole.....
To clarify, there is a workaround in timber/starter-theme, which involves multiple files, including a 'page-plugin.twig' template. Don't just add a 'page-plugin.twig' template and expect that to fix it.
Third party plugins that hijack the theme will call wp_head() to get
the header template. We use this to start our output buffer and render
into the view/page-plugin.twig template in footer.php
Go here https://github.com/timber/starter-theme.
Copy the header.php, footer.php, and page-plugin.twig into your theme and customize for your own site.
The method documented here: https://mcintosh.io/using-the-events-calendar-plugin-with-timber-and-twig/
Worked for me. You create a default template file and a matching twig template:
[your theme]/tribe/events/v2/default-template.php
[your theme]/[your twig template directory]/events.twig
The default-template.php file contains this line:
$context['tribe_markup'] = tribe( Template_Bootstrap::class )->get_view_html();
Which can be rendered like this in the events.twig template:
<div class="events-container">
{{tribe_markup}}
</div>
Note that you will need to have to select "Enable updated designs for all calendar views" in events > settings > display
I think the div.events-container may be needed for the default stylesheets, but haven't tested otherwise.

My friends, I designed a WordPress plugin that I put in shortcode inside a blank page and it does the specified process, but my problem is that it does not follow the raw style that I designed and uses more than the default style of the WordPress theme. To solve this problem, I also used wp_head and wp_footer as templates, which solves the main problem, but there is another problem that due to its use, the main wp_enque header is not loaded in this case, and the styles and wp_localize are for ajax is used. They are not loaded after that. Styles and scripts can be added to the page manually, but wp_localize, which is for ajax transfers and handling, does not work this way.
Would you like a way to use wp_localize on a specific page without a default style?
<?php
/* Template Name: mypage*/
get_header('myheader');
echo do_shortcode("[LiteSpec id=man]");
get_footer('myfooter');
?>
I am frankly new to wordpress but programm in PHP.
Task:
I have a form (don't wanna use a form plugin) and want to include this form on either 1. Sidebar or 2. within content of any Page except one (Contact-page).
I want to programm the Widget, Shortcode or Plugin bymyself. I don't need a tutorial how to programm this.
Question:
What do you advise me to use: a shortcode, plugin, widget or a "hack" in the template (f.e. if ($page!=="contact"){...}
The answer should consider
Ease and flexibility of use
Short time to develop
Speed of Rendering
Thanks for advise of experienced Wordpress Users/Developpers.
PS: the form is very simple maybe there is even another fast way you know how to do this.
Try This
1)first to fall you make a page templates of contact page.(make copy of page.php than only change the name of templates)
2)than that template in you make your custom form.
3)that page template you apply in your contact page.
Make a template-myForm.php file, and populate it with following:
<?php
/**
* Template for displaying search forms for My Web Site
*
*/
?>
<form role="search" method="get" class="search-form" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
<!-- your form content-->
</form>
Add to site <?php get_template_part( 'template', 'myForm' ); ?> where you want a custom search form. I used it for search form, so it was easy to make it into widget also. I used separate template file for site search, and searcform.php for search widget. If you are aiming at different kind of form tag, you have to create that a Widget.
It is a class Your_Widget extends WP_Widget, which for you can find tutorials on your own, or just check out PHP code file: wp-includes/class-wp-widget.php in your Wordpress copy and extend it. Me personally use tutorials. I find it more simple.
So, to summ up, you would have two copies of your form - one to show as a template part, and an another one for sidebar or other registered widget area. If it is identicall in both versions, using this solution you would have to remember to keep changing it in two places (which is again simpler than hard-coding).
For me beeing not a native English speaker and just a part time Wordpress coder, this is what I offer. More integrated and PHP-programming-friendly solution, find in Wordpress forums, here on stackoverflow and Wordpress.org site.
I also am aware this is not exactly what you are looking for - not using shortcode. I hope this will kick you off into Wordpress world, and you will find how to offer a custom form to your users!
Good luck!
I am trying to add a button to my WordPress template. Basically, I have the post and then there is the Related Posts Thumbnails widget that appears. I want the button to go between the text of the post and the related posts thumbnail widget. The code in my 'Single Post' that contains all of this is as follows:
<div class="post-content">
<?php the_content(__('<em><strong>More:</strong> Read the rest of this entry...</em>', 'life-is-simple')); ?>
</div>
I know the Related Posts Thumbnails plugin falls within this code because it's at that place when I 'Inspect Element' on Google Chrome. I can't find how to edit the order of things within that div though. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
EDIT
Clarification: I am using the Life Is Simple WordPress theme although it has been custom editing quite a bit (mostly on the CSS side of things though).
That plugin is probably appending the output to the_content with a filter .
That means , that the output is being added to the_content automatically. it is a common behaviour.
You need to look at the plugin´s admin interface to see if you can have an alternative way (I believe there is ) which is using a template tag. in that case, you should put the template tag after the div where the the_content() is .
EDIT I :
After a small dig, - in fact there is - you need to put
<?php get_related_posts_thumbnails(); ?>
Then the plugin should know by itself not to append to the_content.
For parameter passing, or if something is not working, go read their APi or help files.
You'll probably need to edit single.php or archive.php in your theme. If nothing is occuring there that looks familiar, it's probably using a loop. In which case you might find what you are looking for either in loop.php, loop-single.php, or loop-archive.php depending on what type of page you are on and how the theme was constructed. Add your button near where you find Read the rest of this entry...
With more information (such as what theme you are using), one might be able to help more as well.
I am using WordPress 3.2.1 ,
Page template selection drop down is missing on Pages (Add,Edit)
wp-admin > Pages >Add New > Page Attributes
I Edit the Template Page Default page as below code
/*
Template Name: New Template
*/
But still the template drop down no visible , my older version of WordPress it display by default.
Following is the screen shot for more idea
I solved this problem solved by adding the typical following code:
/*
Template Name: Custom
*/
Don't add any spaces after Name:
It'll work if you use template name: as well.
It might help someone: check if your index.php file is in place.
If it's not there, wordpress treats the template as corrupt and it doesn't display the template selection.
This should be simple to troubleshoot. The requirements for the page template to work are straight forward:
The template needs the page title in the top of the file like you've shown (the title needs to be wrapped in a PHP tag, you probably just didn't add it with your example bu I want to make sure you havne't overlooked it):
<?php
/*
Template Name: Custom
*/
?>
The second requirement is that the file is in the root of the theme folder.
With those two requirements in place, it should work. If it isn't working you nave a few possible issues. I list a few off the top of my head:
You might need to re-install WordPress in-case a file was corrupted
during your last update.
It's possible someone has altered the WP-Admin layout using users
roles.
That's all I can thing of at the moment, let me know how it turns out.
I had the same issue. It actually turned out to be a missing style.css file within the template directory in my case.
This happens because the get_post_templates() in class-wp-theme.php first checks for errors. If it finds any then it returns an empty array (no templates are displayed).
A side effect of this is that saving a page would clear the existing template and use the page.php instead.
So in short if the errors() method of your theme returns any errors then no templates dropdown.
hope that helps someone.
Same issued, I found out that in appearance panel in your WordPress dashboard the stylesheet is missing. You shouldn't rename the style.css in your theme folder.
Not sure if this will help anyone, but we solved the problem by disabling our theme and re-enabling it again. We had some other theme folders in the theme directory that we weren't using so we deleted those out as well. good luck, it's a really random problem to solve!
yeah!template dropdown not showing because you have no template So how to solve this::---
1 create template folder in theme
2 create a template in this folder
like:-
<?php /* Template Name: Home */ echo "template"; ?>
and check-in page dropdown will be there.
I am working in worpress front page.
I want to add a plugin to the page at a specific location manually but adding the code to the page myself.
I basically want to include a plugin in a certain page on a certain location. So I'm create a div...
<div id="plugin-holder">
**Plugin-will-appear-here-with-this-code**
</div>
Don't anyone know how this is done please?
Thanks
If you're wanting a plugin to appear somewhere, you'll be looking for "shortcode" functionality.
This is actually surprisingly easy to code, check out the examples in the Codex under Shortcode API - ie:
function bartag_func( $atts ) {
// ... do more things here ...
return "text to replace shortcode";
}
add_shortcode( 'bartag', 'bartag_func' );
Once you've called these functions you can use [bartag] in code and it will run your function and replace the shortcode with the generated text your function returns.
If you're adding shortcode functionality to your site, it generally makes most sense to code a really simple plugin and put it in that. The reason why this works best is that, over time, it's really easy to forget and upgrade a theme by mistake (or even change to a new theme) and thus break your site by losing your custom code in your former functions.php. Surprisingly, this is pretty easy to achieve and only requires some specially formatted comments at the top of your plugin file and a little common sense in coding - there are many tutorials and "how to"s around!
Here's a useful shortcode tutorial: http://www.reallyeffective.co.uk/archives/2009/06/22/how-to-code-your-own-wordpress-shortcode-plugin-tutorial-part-1/
You should add the relevant plugin code to functions.php.
I suspect you'll want to use some conditional tags, like is_home() to pinpoint your location. But maybe not, depending on what you are trying to do,
Also, if you're trying to to insert from a pre-existing plug-in, make sure you remove the register_activation_hook or activate_pluginname action.
If your plugin supports a sidebar widget you can simply "widgitize" the div tag that you wish to insert the plugin into.. Google the term and you are gonna find many resources.
