change “add new event”

Never mind. My intention was to change the order of elements at the front end of the website.
I found out that’s also possible using css, which of course is a much better solution than changing TEC files.
It would have to be something like this:

.type-tribe_events {
	display: grid;
}
/* date and time */
.tribe-events-schedule {
	order: 10;
}
/* entree fee */
.tribe-block__event-price {
	order: 20;
}
/* link to artist's website */
.tribe-block__event-website {
	order: 30;
}
/* this is the 'real' content of the event: promotional text, images */
.type-tribe_events p,
.type-tribe_events figure
{
	order: 100;
}
/* Google calendar & iCal export */
.tribe-block__events-link {
	order: 500;
}
/* organizer */
.tribe-block__organizer__details {
	order: 300;
}
/* venue */
.tribe-block__venue {
	order: 400;
}

Thank you so much for sharing your solution!

As it turns out, we are also working on providing more flexibility for Block Editor while we redesign the Single Event View.

To set expectations, this is a long-term project (probably mid-2022 if all goes well).

So hang in there and please reach out again should you have any other issues or suggestions.

Cheers,

It turns out my css solution is not working out well (‘display: grid’ puts all following blocks underneath each other, even outlined images).
I’m looking for a way to override the Editor.php file now.

original location: the-events-calendar\src\Tribe\Editor.php

Is there a way to add my own Editor.php in my theme folder?
I tried a view locations, but none of them work …

[your-theme]/tribe/Editor.php
[your-theme]/tribe/Tribe/Editor.php
[your-theme]/tribe/events/Editor.php

Hi there,

Thanks for getting back to us.

We’ve released some updates that should allow you more flexibility with the block editor to achieve the results you want. Please install the latest version of our plugin and see if it works for you.

Best regards,

Marho

Hello Marho, I don’t see any settings to change the order of blocks permanently.
Neither an instruction in the source code to override file the-events-calendar\src\Tribe\Editor.php
Do I miss something?

Hi Frank!

It’s possible to change the default order of the blocks when creating a new event, with use of a filter.

add_filter( 'tribe_events_editor_default_template', function( $template ){

    // initiate our array
    $template = array();

    // default blocks
    $template[] = array( 'tribe/event-datetime' );
    $template[] = array(
        'core/paragraph',
        array(
            'placeholder' => __( 'Add Description...', 'the-events-calendar' ),
        ),
    );
    $template[] = array( 'tribe/event-price' );
    $template[] = array( 'tribe/event-organizer' );
    $template[] = array( 'tribe/event-venue' );
    $template[] = array( 'tribe/event-website' );
    $template[] = array( 'tribe/event-links' );

    // return the array of blocks with our custom order. 
    return $template;
    
}, 500);

Just rearrange the order of the blocks in the snippet, as you would like them to appear. This snippet would go in your theme’s functions.php file, or in a functionality plugin.

Hope that helps!
