Comments Integration with The Events Calendar events

[JBS]

Is it possible to have threads as comments for events in this plugin?

The Events Calendar - WordPress Plugin

Power your events for free with The Events Calendar, or upgrade to Pro to unlock recurring events, views, premium support, and more.

theeventscalendar.com

Here is an example of an event.

UCLA VS Washinton

chalkbucket.com

Ideally... I want to link one thread from Xenforo to several events.

Yes, you can add XFtoWP to any custom post type. You just need to pass the post type ID to a filter in XFtoWP.

I believe the post type name for The Event Calendar is tribe_events

Paste the script from this doc into your child theme or custom functions file:

Add Thread comments meta box to custom post types

Out of the box XFtoWP adds the create new thread meta box to posts and pages only. With this simple filter you can add the same meta box controls to custom post types. Simply pass the post type ID to…

xftowp.com

The meta box appears in the event in the admin area... but I can't get the comments to appear on the front side. Here is the code I am using...

/**
 * Add XFtoWP meta boxes to custom post types.
 *
 * @since 1.0
 */

function xftowp_custom_post_types( $post_types ) {
    $post_types[] = 'tribe_events';
    $post_types[] = 'stream';
    return $post_types;
}
add_filter( 'xfwp_comments_post_types', 'xftowp_custom_post_types' );

Ok... it seems to show unless I use the "replace comments" option... which is the one I use.

@Alex You are awesome! I'm an idiot... I had comments globally disabled in the events calendar options.

As long as a post type supports comments, XFtoWP can plug right in.

Haha that plugin has a lot of settings so it's easy to overlook!

$post_types[] = 'stream';

By the way, you can remove this line as it does not apply to your site. That was just example code to show how to add multiple post types to the code.
