Working with plugins that do their own routing

[desmillicious]

Hi there I am working with a plugin - Time.ly Event Calendar - that does it's own routing.

The routing is non-standard with it's own MVC framework, db tables and php on the fly generated views for it's custom post type ai1ec_event. There is no static php template for a particular view that I can point to for the ai1ec_event single post view, which is what I have done in the past to handle e-commerce

Is there a way to revert to wordpress routing for specific views?

eg: in index.php of the wordless theme...

if (is_singular() && is_post_type("ai1ec_event")) {
   revert to wordpress routing
}

Oh gosh! Never ever thought about such a situation...but: Wordless shouldn't alter the wordpress routing per se: it uses conditional tags based on the Wordpress routing just to print on screen. Default themes usually have a get_template_part() in the index.php, while we have a custom render function.

Usually plugins such that - but I don't know Time.ly at all, so sorry if Im wrong - hooks themselves to something like the_content()...I see from the documentation of the plugin that it has builtin shortcodes support. Why don't you try to build a template with a simple do_shortcode() function inside or a the_content() dropping the shortcode in the the page editor?

I can't see more than this lurking into the documentation on the page you linked.

[EDIT]
I'd try also a template with a super dirty inclusion of the plugin's main file! :embarrassing:
