  Hey,

  I am hoping you can help with this as Cardinal is listed as supporting the Events Calendar plugin…

  I am using Events Calendar + Events Calendar Pro. For the most part it works well, but it makes it very hard to achieve one thing – enabling sidebars. The plugin does not use shortcodes like 99% of other authors and as such, its not as simple as placing a shortcode on a new page and then selecting the sidebar options in Cardinals meta box.

  In the template settings of the plugin you can choose from a dropdown of templates – these include “default page template”, “Blank – Header | No Footer” etc. None of the options outputs a sidebar.

  Would it be possible to add a few more Cardinal templates to that dropdown list – i.e. Left sidebar, right sidebar and both sidebars. That should then display sidebars on the front end with Events Calendar…

  Thanks.

  Hi Anthony,

  Do you mean for the events listing/archive page, or the detail page for each event?

  Hi Anthony,

  I’ll get the meta boxes added for the events post type, that will allow you to set sidebars for the venue/events.

  As for the /events page, it’s a little trickier than just providing templates with the sidebar setup as standard. The issue in then how to be able to set which sidebar to use..

  Hi Ed,

  Yea I was thinking that.

  Maybe create a sidebar (and label it as such) just for the events plugin – you already created one of those for WooCommerce, Crowdfunding etc…

  Hmm ok. So could have left + right sidebar for events. Then would need a left + right sidebar template. Would that be sufficient?

  Hi Ed,

  In my current use case scenario that would be perfect. For future projects, would that allow me to enable a left and right sidebar (so both sidebars) at the same time if required?

  Thanks

  Edit: let me know if you want me to send you on the latest version of Events Calendar Pro for testing.

  That would be the optimal solution long term.

  That would essentially mirror what you can do on a standard WordPress page with Cardinal…
