Venue – additional information, custom taxonomy, etc…

[Daisuke]

Hi,

I’m considering purchasing The Event Calendar Pro.
Before purchase, I need to know if it’s possible to do what I want to do.

Q1 – will it work on local environment?
I’m constructing demo site on my local environment using MAMP.
Will pro version work on my local site(on my laptop)?
Once I finish to customize, I’ll move these files to my website.

Q2 – difference between pro and free
I’ve done some customizes with free version of The Events Calendar.
Can I use the files I’ve already customized with pro version?

*FYI, I modified these files
[template]
list/
content.php
loop.php
nav.php
single-event.php
list.php
modules/
meta/
details.php
map.php
organizer.php
venue.php
meta.php
month/
content.php
nav.php
month.php
single-event.php
tribe-events.css

[other file]
plugins/the-events-calendar/admin-views/event-map.php
modified google map’s javascript cord

Q3 – venue list
Is it possible to have venue list page by creating archive-venue.php?

Q4 – custom taxonomy for venue
Can venue have category by custom taxonomy?

Q5 – additional information for venue
Is it possible to add additional information for venue by using custom field?

Hi – great to hear that you’re thinking of buying PRO 🙂

Let me try and answer each of your questions:

Q1 – will it work on local environment?
I’m constructing demo site on my local environment using MAMP.
Will pro version work on my local site(on my laptop)?

Yes, completely possible – in fact most of the team do just that 🙂

I’ve done some customizes with free version of The Events Calendar.
Can I use the files I’ve already customized with pro version?

So long as you safely modified things via template overrides/adding snippets to a safe location like your theme’s functions.php file (rather than by altering core plugin code) then yes, there should be no problem here!

Q3 – venue list
Is it possible to have venue list page by creating archive-venue.php?

Q4 – custom taxonomy for venue
Can venue have category by custom taxonomy?

Q5 – additional information for venue
Is it possible to add additional information for venue by using custom field?

These types of thing are absolutely possible: they are really the sorts of customization you’d have to drive forward by yourself – but there are certainly no fundamental barriers and if you’re at home developing in the WordPress environment generally this shouldn’t be too hard 🙂

I hope that answers your questions – but please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks!

Thank you for your answers, yes, these are absolutely what I wanted to know 🙂

So, if I’ll be stuck in some customize, is it better to post on this page? Or to make new question will be better for you?
I guess I’ll have some problem doing custom taxonomy stuff.

Hi!

We don’t actually provide technical support here on the pre-sales forum. If you purchase a license you will be more than welcome to post on our Modern Tribe forums and one of the team will help if they can – otherwise you could certainly post on our wordpress.org forum.

Thanks!

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread (and so it will no longer be monitored by staff). If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
