    Hello there !

    I am facing difficulties while trying to integrate the events cpt into views / types plugin.

    I want to display on my front page the last “post” with category “actualite” or the last “event” with the category “actualite”.

    when a normal post, everything is fine.

    when an event, I get the content of the event displaying twice, and something really anarchik going on. I really can’t describe it. Any way I will try :

    this is what I see:

    • A google map : well, ok, this must be considered like “the excerpt” (This is what I queried via “views” – I mean “the excerpt”).
    • The title, and the date: this is ok.
    • strangest thing: the event appears twice: once where it should be, and in another place where it takes the place of some other content that has been overriden…

    Has anyone here been facing the same kind of issues? Is there a workaround?

    Thanks a lot

    Charles

  • Hi Charles,

    I’m not familiar with that plugin but it sounds like something you may need to ask them about. That said, if you can post a link we may be able to help.

    Hello Caimin,

    thanks for your answer.

    Types and Views are developer-friendly plugins, which allow to create any Custom post types, and display them with any html you want in the front end on WordPress.

    I am a long-time user of these plugins and was quite puzzled when trying to integrate the events manager into this simple WordPress logic (Custom post types, custom fields displaying).

    The use of a specific templating system in the events manager plugin (which is very powerful) seems to conflict with Views’ templating system.

    I have found a workaround for this specific issue. I am giving it here for anybody who would bend over the same problem int he future :

    The events manager does not like a specific short code in Views :
    [wpv-post-body]
    That is, whenever WP queries for events and asks for this shortcode, the whole event gets outputted whatever parameters in the shortcode were given.

    My solution was to shortcut this shortcode by inserting directly my content template’s content into my view. Views users will know what I mean !

    Cheers,

    Charles
