+# The Events Calendar v5.0.8 Best Practices Guide
+
+## Overview
+This guide documents the best practices for working with The Events Calendar (TEC) v5.0.8 and Community Events 5.0.8, based on comprehensive testing and field validation.
+
+## Verified Working Configuration
+
+### Plugin Versions (Staging Environment)
+- **The Events Calendar**: 6.14.2
+- **The Events Calendar Community Events**: 5.0.8  
+- **Events Calendar Pro**: 7.6.3
+- **WordPress**: Latest compatible version
+
+## Field Selector Best Practices
+
+### 1. Core Fields (Always Available)
+These fields are standard WordPress fields and always work:
+
+```javascript
+const coreFields = {
+    title: '#title',                    // Event title
+    content: '#content',                // Event description
+    excerpt: '#excerpt',                // Event excerpt
+    status: '#post_status'              // Post status
+};
+```
+
+### 2. Date/Time Fields (Verified Working)
+```javascript
+const dateTimeFields = {
+    startDate: '#EventStartDate',       // Format: MM/DD/YYYY
+    endDate: '#EventEndDate',           // Format: MM/DD/YYYY
+    startTime: '#EventStartTime',       // Format: HH:MM am/pm
+    endTime: '#EventEndTime',           // Format: HH:MM am/pm
+    allDay: '#EventAllDay',             // Checkbox
+    timezone: 'select[name="EventTimezone"]'  // Dropdown
+};
+```
+
+### 3. Event Details (Verified Working)
+```javascript
+const eventDetails = {
+    eventURL: '#EventURL',              // External event website
+    showMap: '#EventShowMap',           // Checkbox
+    showMapLink: '#EventShowMapLink'    // Checkbox
+};
+```
+
+### 4. Cost Fields (May Be Hidden)
+**Note**: Cost fields may be hidden if Events Tickets plugin is active.
+
+```javascript
+const costFields = {
+    cost: '#EventCost',                 // May not be visible
+    currencySymbol: '#EventCurrencySymbol',
+    currencyCode: '#EventCurrencyCode'
+};
+
+// Check visibility before interacting
+async function checkCostField(page) {
+    const costField = await page.$('#EventCost');
+    if (costField) {
+        const isVisible = await costField.isVisible();
+        if (!isVisible) {
+            console.log('Cost field is hidden - Events Tickets may be active');
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Venue Fields (Complex Selectors)
+Venue fields use array notation in their name attributes:
+
+```javascript
+const venueFields = {
+    venueDropdown: 'select[name="venue[VenueID]"]',
+    venueName: 'input[name="venue[Venue]"]',
+    venueAddress: 'input[name="venue[Address]"]',
+    venueCity: 'input[name="venue[City]"]',
+    venueState: 'input[name="venue[State]"]',
+    venueZip: 'input[name="venue[Zip]"]',
+    venueCountry: 'select[name="venue[Country]"]'
+};
+```
+
+### 6. Organizer Fields (Complex Selectors)
+```javascript
+const organizerFields = {
+    organizerDropdown: 'select[name="organizer[OrganizerID]"]',
+    organizerName: 'input[name="organizer[Organizer]"]',
+    organizerEmail: 'input[name="organizer[Email]"]',
+    organizerPhone: 'input[name="organizer[Phone]"]',
+    organizerWebsite: 'input[name="organizer[Website]"]'
+};
+```
+
+## JavaScript Implementation Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Flexible Field Access
+Always check multiple possible selectors for maximum compatibility:
+
+```javascript
+async function getTECField(page, selectors) {
+    for (const selector of selectors) {
+        const element = await page.$(selector);
+        if (element && await element.isVisible()) {
+            return element;
+        }
+    }
+    return null;
+}
+
+// Usage
+const startDateField = await getTECField(page, [
+    '#EventStartDate',
+    'input[name="EventStartDate"]',
+    '.tribe-datetime-block input[name*="StartDate"]'
+]);
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Safe Field Updates
+Always verify field exists and is visible before updating:
+
+```javascript
+async function updateTECField(page, selector, value) {
+    try {
+        const element = await page.$(selector);
+        if (!element) {
+            console.log(`Field not found: ${selector}`);
+            return false;
+        }
+        
+        const isVisible = await element.isVisible();
+        if (!isVisible) {
+            console.log(`Field not visible: ${selector}`);
+            return false;
+        }
+        
+        await element.fill(value);
+        return true;
+    } catch (error) {
+        console.log(`Error updating field: ${error.message}`);
+        return false;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Date Format Handling
+TEC accepts multiple date formats. Be flexible:
+
+```javascript
+function formatDateForTEC(date) {
+    // TEC typically expects MM/DD/YYYY in the UI
+    const d = new Date(date);
+    const month = String(d.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
+    const day = String(d.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
+    const year = d.getFullYear();
+    return `${month}/${day}/${year}`;
+}
+
+// For meta updates (database), use YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
+function formatDateForMeta(date) {
+    const d = new Date(date);
+    return d.toISOString().slice(0, 19).replace('T', ' ');
+}
+```
+
+## PHP Implementation Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Direct Meta Updates
+When updating events programmatically:
+
+```php
+function update_tec_event($event_id, $data) {
+    // Update core post data
+    wp_update_post([
+        'ID' => $event_id,
+        'post_title' => $data['title'],
+        'post_content' => $data['description']
+    ]);
+    
+    // Update TEC meta fields
+    update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventStartDate', $data['start_date']);
+    update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventEndDate', $data['end_date']);
+    update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventStartDateUTC', get_gmt_from_date($data['start_date']));
+    update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventEndDateUTC', get_gmt_from_date($data['end_date']));
+    
+    // Calculate duration in seconds
+    $start = strtotime($data['start_date']);
+    $end = strtotime($data['end_date']);
+    $duration = $end - $start;
+    update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventDuration', $duration);
+    
+    // Update venue if provided
+    if (!empty($data['venue_id'])) {
+        update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventVenueID', $data['venue_id']);
+    }
+    
+    // Update organizer if provided
+    if (!empty($data['organizer_id'])) {
+        update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventOrganizerID', $data['organizer_id']);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Creating Events with Full Metadata
+```php
+function create_tec_event($data) {
+    // Create the event post
+    $event_id = wp_insert_post([
+        'post_type' => 'tribe_events',
+        'post_title' => $data['title'],
+        'post_content' => $data['description'],
+        'post_status' => 'publish',
+        'post_author' => get_current_user_id()
+    ]);
+    
+    if (!is_wp_error($event_id)) {
+        // Add all TEC meta fields
+        $meta_fields = [
+            '_EventStartDate' => $data['start_date'],
+            '_EventEndDate' => $data['end_date'],
+            '_EventStartDateUTC' => get_gmt_from_date($data['start_date']),
+            '_EventEndDateUTC' => get_gmt_from_date($data['end_date']),
+            '_EventCost' => $data['cost'] ?? '',
+            '_EventCurrencySymbol' => '$',
+            '_EventURL' => $data['url'] ?? '',
+            '_EventShowMap' => '1',
+            '_EventShowMapLink' => '1',
+            '_EventTimezone' => get_option('timezone_string'),
+            '_EventTimezoneAbbr' => date('T'),
+            '_EventOrigin' => 'events-calendar'
+        ];
+        
+        foreach ($meta_fields as $key => $value) {
+            update_post_meta($event_id, $key, $value);
+        }
+    }
+    
+    return $event_id;
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Best Practices
+
+### 1. Always Test Field Visibility
+```javascript
+// Before running tests, check which fields are actually available
+async function auditTECFields(page) {
+    const audit = {
+        visible: [],
+        hidden: [],
+        missing: []
+    };
+    
+    const allSelectors = {
+        ...coreFields,
+        ...dateTimeFields,
+        ...eventDetails,
+        ...costFields,
+        ...venueFields,
+        ...organizerFields
+    };
+    
+    for (const [name, selector] of Object.entries(allSelectors)) {
+        const element = await page.$(selector);
+        if (!element) {
+            audit.missing.push(name);
+        } else if (await element.isVisible()) {
+            audit.visible.push(name);
+        } else {
+            audit.hidden.push(name);
+        }
+    }
+    
+    return audit;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Test Data Persistence
+Always verify that changes persist after save:
+
+```javascript
+async function testFieldPersistence(page, selector, testValue) {
+    // Set value
+    await page.fill(selector, testValue);
+    
+    // Save
+    await page.click('#publish');
+    await page.waitForSelector('.notice-success');
+    
+    // Reload page
+    await page.reload();
+    await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');
+    
+    // Check if value persisted
+    const currentValue = await page.$eval(selector, el => el.value);
+    return currentValue === testValue;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Handle AJAX-Loaded Elements
+Some TEC elements load via AJAX:
+
+```javascript
+async function waitForTECElements(page) {
+    // Wait for TEC admin scripts to load
+    await page.waitForFunction(() => {
+        return window.tribe && window.tribe.events;
+    }, { timeout: 10000 });
+    
+    // Additional wait for dynamic elements
+    await page.waitForTimeout(1000);
+}
+```
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+### Issue 1: Date Format Inconsistencies
+**Problem**: Different installations may use different date formats.
+**Solution**: Check WordPress date format setting and adapt:
+
+```javascript
+async function getDateFormat(page) {
+    return await page.evaluate(() => {
+        // Check if TEC provides format
+        if (window.tribe_events_calendar && window.tribe_events_calendar.date_format) {
+            return window.tribe_events_calendar.date_format;
+        }
+        // Default to US format
+        return 'MM/DD/YYYY';
+    });
+}
+```
+
+### Issue 2: Venue/Organizer Dropdowns Not Populating
+**Problem**: Select2/Chosen dropdowns may not populate immediately.
+**Solution**: Wait for initialization and trigger manually if needed:
+
+```javascript
+async function selectVenue(page, venueId) {
+    // Wait for Select2 initialization
+    await page.waitForFunction(() => {
+        return jQuery && jQuery('select[name="venue[VenueID]"]').data('select2');
+    }, { timeout: 5000 }).catch(() => {});
+    
+    // Try Select2 method first
+    await page.evaluate((id) => {
+        jQuery('select[name="venue[VenueID]"]').val(id).trigger('change');
+    }, venueId);
+    
+    // Fallback to standard select
+    await page.selectOption('select[name="venue[VenueID]"]', venueId).catch(() => {});
+}
+```
+
+### Issue 3: Cost Field Hidden by Events Tickets
+**Problem**: When Events Tickets is active, cost field is managed differently.
+**Solution**: Check for alternative cost input methods:
+
+```javascript
+async function setCost(page, amount) {
+    // Try standard cost field
+    const standardField = await page.$('#EventCost');
+    if (standardField && await standardField.isVisible()) {
+        await standardField.fill(amount);
+        return true;
+    }
+    
+    // Check for Events Tickets price field
+    const ticketField = await page.$('input[name="_tribe_ticket_price"]');
+    if (ticketField && await ticketField.isVisible()) {
+        await ticketField.fill(amount);
+        return true;
+    }
+    
+    console.log('Cost field not available - may need to create ticket');
+    return false;
+}
+```
+
+## Migration from Older Versions
+
+### Key Changes from TEC v4.x to v5.x
+1. **Block Editor Support**: v5.x includes Gutenberg block support
+2. **Updated Meta Keys**: Some meta keys have changed format
+3. **New REST API**: Enhanced REST API endpoints
+4. **Modified Admin UI**: Updated admin interface selectors
+
+### Backward Compatibility
+Most v4.x selectors still work in v5.x, but always test:
+
+```javascript
+const legacySelectors = {
+    // v4.x selectors that may still work
+    'event-cost': '.tribe-event-cost input',
+    'event-website': '.tribe-event-website input',
+    'venue-select': '#saved_venue'
+};
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### 1. Batch Meta Updates
+When updating multiple fields, batch the updates:
+
+```php
+function batch_update_event_meta($event_id, $meta_data) {
+    global $wpdb;
+    
+    // Begin transaction
+    $wpdb->query('START TRANSACTION');
+    
+    try {
+        foreach ($meta_data as $key => $value) {
+            update_post_meta($event_id, $key, $value);
+        }
+        
+        // Commit all changes
+        $wpdb->query('COMMIT');
+        
+        // Clear TEC cache
+        tribe_cache()->delete('', 'save_post');
+        
+        return true;
+    } catch (Exception $e) {
+        $wpdb->query('ROLLBACK');
+        return false;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Cache Field Selectors
+Cache discovered selectors for better performance:
+
+```javascript
+class TECFieldCache {
+    constructor() {
+        this.cache = new Map();
+    }
+    
+    async getField(page, fieldName, selectors) {
+        // Check cache first
+        if (this.cache.has(fieldName)) {
+            const cached = this.cache.get(fieldName);
+            const element = await page.$(cached);
+            if (element && await element.isVisible()) {
+                return element;
+            }
+        }
+        
+        // Find and cache working selector
+        for (const selector of selectors) {
+            const element = await page.$(selector);
+            if (element && await element.isVisible()) {
+                this.cache.set(fieldName, selector);
+                return element;
+            }
+        }
+        
+        return null;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### 1. Always Sanitize Input
+```php
+// Sanitize event data before saving
+$clean_data = [
+    'title' => sanitize_text_field($data['title']),
+    'description' => wp_kses_post($data['description']),
+    'start_date' => sanitize_text_field($data['start_date']),
+    'cost' => floatval($data['cost']),
+    'url' => esc_url_raw($data['url'])
+];
+```
+
+### 2. Verify Capabilities
+```php
+// Check user can edit events
+if (!current_user_can('edit_tribe_events')) {
+    wp_die('Insufficient permissions');
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Validate Nonces
+```php
+// Always verify nonces in AJAX handlers
+if (!wp_verify_nonce($_POST['nonce'], 'tec_event_edit')) {
+    wp_die('Security check failed');
+}
+```
+
+## Debugging Tips
+
+### 1. Enable TEC Debug Mode
+Add to wp-config.php:
+```php
+define('TRIBE_EVENTS_DEBUG', true);
+```
+
+### 2. Log Field Discovery
+```javascript
+async function debugFieldDiscovery(page) {
+    const results = await page.evaluate(() => {
+        const fields = {};
+        
+        // Find all inputs with Event in name/id
+        document.querySelectorAll('input[id*="Event"], input[name*="Event"]').forEach(el => {
+            fields[el.id || el.name] = {
+                type: el.type,
+                value: el.value,
+                visible: el.offsetParent !== null
+            };
+        });
+        
+        return fields;
+    });
+    
+    console.log('Discovered fields:', JSON.stringify(results, null, 2));
+    return results;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Monitor Meta Updates
+```php
+// Hook to log meta updates
+add_action('updated_post_meta', function($meta_id, $object_id, $meta_key, $meta_value) {
+    if (get_post_type($object_id) === 'tribe_events') {
+        error_log("TEC Meta Update: Post $object_id, Key: $meta_key, Value: " . print_r($meta_value, true));
+    }
+}, 10, 4);
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Working with TEC v5.0.8 requires understanding:
+1. The correct field selectors for each component
+2. How to handle dynamic/AJAX-loaded elements
+3. The proper meta key structure for database operations
+4. Date format handling across different contexts
+5. Compatibility considerations with other Events Calendar plugins
+
+By following these best practices, you can reliably interact with TEC events both through the UI and programmatically.

+## JavaScript Best Practices for TEC v5.0.8
+
+### 1. Field Access Pattern
+
+```javascript
+// Best practice: Check multiple possible selectors
+async function getTECField(page, fieldName, selectors) {
+    for (const selector of selectors) {
+        const element = await page.$(selector);
+        if (element && await element.isVisible()) {
+            return element;
+        }
+    }
+    return null;
+}
+
+// Example usage
+const startDateField = await getTECField(page, 'Start Date', [
+    '#EventStartDate',
+    'input[name="EventStartDate"]',
+    '.tribe-datetime-block input[name*="StartDate"]'
+]);
+```
+
+### 2. Setting Field Values
+
+```javascript
+// Date fields
+await page.fill('#EventStartDate', '2025-12-25');
+
+// Time fields (may need special handling)
+await page.fill('#EventStartTime', '09:00 AM');
+
+// Checkbox fields
+const showMapCheckbox = await page.$('#EventShowMap');
+if (showMapCheckbox) {
+    await showMapCheckbox.check();
+}
+
+// Dropdown fields
+await page.selectOption('select[name="venue[VenueID]"]', { value: '123' });
+```
+
+### 3. Reading Field Values
+
+```javascript
+// Text inputs
+const eventCost = await page.$eval('#EventCost', el => el.value);
+
+// Checkboxes
+const showMap = await page.$eval('#EventShowMap', el => el.checked);
+
+// Dropdowns
+const venueId = await page.$eval('select[name="venue[VenueID]"]', el => el.value);
+```
+
+## Meta Data Storage
+
+### Direct Meta Update via WP-CLI
+
+```bash
+# Update event cost
+wp post meta update EVENT_ID _EventCost "299"
+
+# Update venue ID
+wp post meta update EVENT_ID _EventVenueID VENUE_ID
+
+# Update date/time
+wp post meta update EVENT_ID _EventStartDate "2025-12-25 09:00:00"
+wp post meta update EVENT_ID _EventEndDate "2025-12-25 17:00:00"
+```
+
+### PHP Meta Update
+
+```php
+// Update event meta
+update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventCost', '299');
+update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventCurrencySymbol', '$');
+update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventURL', 'https://example.com/event');
+update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventVenueID', $venue_id);
+update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventOrganizerID', $organizer_id);
+
+// Date/time with UTC conversion
+$start_date = '2025-12-25 09:00:00';
+update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventStartDate', $start_date);
+update_post_meta($event_id, '_EventStartDateUTC', get_gmt_from_date($start_date));
+```
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+### Essential Fields to Verify
+- [ ] Event Title (`#title`)
+- [ ] Event Content (`#content`)
+- [ ] Start Date (`#EventStartDate`)
+- [ ] End Date (`#EventEndDate`)
+- [ ] Start Time (`#EventStartTime`)
+- [ ] End Time (`#EventEndTime`)
+- [ ] Event Cost (`#EventCost`)
+- [ ] Event URL (`#EventURL`)
+- [ ] Venue Selection/Creation
+- [ ] Organizer Selection/Creation
+- [ ] Map Display Options
+
+### Field Persistence Test
+1. Create/edit event with all fields
+2. Save event
+3. Reload edit page
+4. Verify all fields retained values
+5. Check database meta values
+
+## Known Issues & Workarounds
+
+### Issue 1: Cost Field May Be Hidden
+Some TEC configurations hide the cost field if Events Tickets is active.
+**Workaround**: Check for field visibility before attempting to fill.
+
+### Issue 2: Venue/Organizer Dropdowns
+These may be AJAX-loaded or use Select2/Chosen libraries.
+**Workaround**: Wait for elements to be fully loaded before interaction.
+
+### Issue 3: Date Format Variations
+Different sites may use different date formats based on WordPress settings.
+**Workaround**: Check site date format setting and adjust accordingly.
+
+## Version History
+- **v1.0** (2025-08-18): Initial mapping for TEC v5.0.8
+- Based on staging environment testing
+- Verified with Events Calendar Community Events 5.0.8
