No header/footer template for MEC

[outpost33]

Hi,

I’d like to remove headers and footers on my MEC event pages. I found this topic, which has some information about how it might be possible, but I’m unclear on how to implement:

[PRO] Modern Events Calendar - Override SINGLE MEC EVENTS with Blank Model Page

Hello guys, PROBLEM 01: I’m trying to change my single-mec-events.php, inside my pro-child directory. I’d like to put a content from single event, using a template-blank-1 template from PRO, i.e. Unfortunately, we do not have a shortcode to single page. What the best way? https://webnus.ticksy.com/article/8603 https://webnus.ticksy.com/article/10488/ Below, default single-mec-events.php from Webnus: <?php /** no direct access **/ defined('_MECEXEC_') or die(); /** * The Template for dis…

Any help you can offer with this is much appreciated

Hi @ruenel

Thanks for your response, I have not yet created a custom template for the events pages – hoping you can offer some guidance on creating a simple no header/no footer template for events.

Please find the details you require in the secure note.

Hello @outpost33,

You can simply do the following:
1.) Open Notepad or any text editor.
2.) Insert this code:

<?php

// =============================================================================

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// An MEC single event layout
// =============================================================================

if ( apply_filters( 'x_legacy_cranium_headers', true ) ) {
  x_get_view( 'global', '_header' );
} else {
  get_header();
}

?>

<?php do_action('mec_before_main_content'); ?>
<section id="<?php echo apply_filters('mec_single_page_html_id', 'main-content'); ?>" class="<?php echo apply_filters('mec_single_page_html_class', 'mec-container'); ?>">
	<?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
		<?php $MEC = MEC::instance(); echo $MEC->single(); ?>
	<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
	<?php comments_template(); ?>
</section>
<?php do_action('mec_after_main_content'); ?>

<?php

if ( apply_filters( 'x_legacy_cranium_footers', true ) ) {
  x_get_view( 'global', '_footer' );
} else {
  get_footer();
}

?>

3.) Save the file as single-mec-events.php and upload it in your child theme’s folder.

This should make your MEC single event pages display without the header and the footer.

Hi @ruenel,

Thank you! I will try the template and let you know how it goes.

Meanwhile can you tell me where in the child theme the new file should be placed? EDIT: It’s ok, I figured it out

Many thanks again

Hi @ruenel,

Quick question – are there any plans to allow direct editing of the event page layouts in Cornerstone? Currently the developer offers an Elementor addon, but it would be great to have this degree of control within the X/Pro ecosystem.

Hi @outpost33,

Do you want to edit the events using the Cornerstone? If that is the case, you can enable the Page Builder for the Events from Cornerstone > Settings > Permission.

Hope it helps.
Thanks

Hi @tristup, @ruenel

I am already aware that it’s possible to edit events in Cornerstone as you suggest, I was actually referring to using the Layout Builder to make a custom template.

Hi @outpost33,

That is not possible at this moment. I have added this as a feature request, so our development team will take it into the consideration in future.

Thanks
