I am also having this problem of not being able to add any attributes. There is no textarea to enter information this information. I also don’t see a area to upload an image to use the #_IMAGE shortcode.

Two problems here. I’ll try to answer both:

For attributes, read this when editing an event: “In order to use attributes, you must define some in your templates, otherwise they’ll never show. Go to Events > Settings to add attribute placeholders.”

And in the Settings there’s this: “For custom attributes, you use #_ATT{key}{alternative text}, the second braces are optional and will appear if the attribute is not defined or left blank for that event. This key will appear as an option when adding attributes to your event.”

This means exactly what is means: add anywhere in your templates an attribute and then you’ll be able to change the data for it per event.

Example: use eg. in the “Respondent email format” setting this: #_ATT{TEST}

And then you’ll see in the event data an attribute called “TEST” for which you can fill in the value

==> I’ll add this to the doc.

For the #_IMAGE upload thing: look in the location page. You can edit a page and upload an image. This *is* mentioned in the doc: “The Locations page lets you add, delete and edit locations directly. Locations are automatically added with events if not present, but this interface lets you customize your locations data and add a picture.”

Now that’s a bug 🙂

I’ll test it out and fix this for the next version and let you know the fix, so you can already implement it.

Excellent! Worked perfectly. Thanks again for this great plugin!

@CCD: this error has nothing to do with extended events manager and basic wordpress. The word “qtrans_get_active_language” doesn’t even occur anywhere in my setup. A bit of googling turns up this plugin http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/

It seems that plugin is not too happy with the way tinymce is used in events manager extended … I need to look into this.

Ok, I have something that makes EME work with qtranslate, that is: it allows multiple edits, but for now I recommend to use only one language when creating an event because the inserting seems to work ok, but for displaying events I need a bit more code editing.

So, to be able to insert events with qtranslate installed, change in the file dbem_events.php 2 lines:

1) (around line 1403) from:

<div id=”event_name” class=”stuffbox”>

to:

<div id=”titlediv” class=”stuffbox”>

2) (around line 1410) from:

<input type=”text” name=”event_name” value=”<?php echo $event [$pref . ‘name’]?>” />

to:

<input type=”text” id=”title” name=”event_name” value=”<?php echo $event [$pref . ‘name’]?>” />

That gets the editing going again with qtranslate installed (again: fill in only one language, the showing part will otherwise show all language parts together)

Finally someone took the time to fix all the issues with the old version 🙂

take care, a lot of JS errors come from qtranslate. the old forums were quite full of people trying to use both. I am one of them. I’d love to be able to use both at the same time.

Will you incorporate the fixes needed into the main version or do we need to hack it every time you make a new version?

More work has been done for qtranslate compatibility. Please check out the svn trunk at:

http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/events-manager-extended/trunk/

Not really, but any svn client will do. On linux “svn” helps you out, on Windows I recommend using tortoisesvn. But try this:

http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip

(the download link from wordpress without version, probably gives you the trunk version)

just checked and with the dev version everythings seems fixed. awesome. could not find a bug till now 🙂 will let you know if anythign else re-surfaces.

Well, I can reproduce the “???” problem for chinese characters. But I don’t have the problem to click on event details.

For the chinese characters: are your database tables in utf8 unicode format (mine aren’t)? See here: http://boringest.blogasian.com/2008/10/25/how-to-show-chinese-characters-in-wordpress/

Btw: when entering a new event, you can only enter 1 name for the location, but afterwards you can edit the location and add the other languages.

interesting: I can’t enter a new location by creating a new event – only choose one of the existing ones. But that’s not a real problem: I create a new venue and THEN the new event.

If you are interested in the missing event details issue, please check http://www.maier-hallard.com/testseite.

New issue is also:

Picture for Location – if I do an upload (<700px) it does not appear after having saved the data.

If you want wp-admin access just let me know please.

Cheers & Thanks!

Sebastian

Sebastian: the translation you’ve done seems to be very weird: I seem to have many words in German or so …

Now the problems:

– you have the setting “Use dropdown for locations” for Events Manager Extended on. I’ve disabled it, so now you can insert new locations with events.

– for the image upload: the size is set to a max of 204800 bytes (or: 200 KB), seems very low to me … try increasing that (I increased it to 2MB for you)

– for the missing details: you never mention the shortcode #_NOTES anywhere in the format settings, so of course the details are never shown. I’ve changed the setting “Default single event format” to include this (which is called “Standardformat für eine Terminseite” in your page anyway) but you should change this to your liking.

So to summarize: you have no problems at all, just settings you need to check.

I think the German snippets in the backend come from the old events manager… I didn’t touch them at all…

Hi Franky,

it’s about event names in Chinese. No need to understand the content, but the phenomena is pretty amazing, maybe you have the answer:

When I give a Chinese Name to an event as e.g. “在菩提径中心教学闳空” (Teaching in Bodhi Path Center Hong Kong” and save the event, there are syllables missing after having saved. There is only “在菩提” (means “In the Bodhisattva”) – so in that case only 3 of 10 remain.

In the other event called “在菩提径伦兴，乌尔姆教学/德国” only 1 syllable “在” (means:”in”) remains after saving.

This issue only comes with Events… Location-setup is okay…

I’ve ALTERed everything in the mysql yesterday and I cannot find a difference between both, wp_dbem_locations and wp_dbem_events…

Another issue: I’ve checked back to drop-down-menu for locations, because it startet to duplicate them by editing these events

Hope you have an idea for the Chinese,

Best Sebastian

@CCD: please try this version (for testing only):

http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip

You probably didn’t update enough files …

Well, it *is* the trunk, things can get buggy in there. I fixed that this evening (but did not remember having the XXX’s somewhere, but might be debugging). Try getting the latest trunk again:

http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip

Sebastian, can you demonstrate that? It seems btw that there is a typo error in dbem_locations.php as well, I’ll try and fix that also.

Edit: never mind, I see what you mean 🙂

While it is not a functional issue, I’ll fix it!

This I don’t understand …

btw: I checked your version again, and it seems ok now? I can’t reproduce it here btw

Hi. I’ve just updated to the latest trunk. You can go and have a look. I won’t touch anything for the hour. Title issue is okay now. You’ll find the frontend event site under Projects/Events in the main menu.

To keep it short: last trunk update was a complete one. Then what I described title issue happened. I downgraded then to you last release version, but only the two files: dbem_locations.php and dbem_events.php. The everything worked fine for the titles.

Concerning longitude/latitude: I’ve misspelled my post. Will leave a reply there to not use the double quotes.

Please take a look at the [locations_map] on my events page in the front end. I’ve moved it to the top.

There is the list of venues under the map. All venues which are multilingual (so from the second on) is listed in every Language like: “Bodhi Path Centre Bouddhiste Hong KongBodhi Path Hong KongBodhi Path Buddhist Center Hong KongBodhi Path Buddhistisches Zentrum Hong Kong菩提佛学中心的路径”.

With the last trunk version from yesterday there was the problem for Event Titels and Location Titels everywhere. Now it only remains in [locations_map].

I have another request concerning the [locations_map]: is it possible to add the google maps markups (A,B,C,D) in front of the list? (e.g. A – Bismarckplatz)? I think that could be useful for bulky lists.

will take a look. Thanks!

Your html code is somehow wrong:

map_text_10 = '

<div class="dbem-location-balloon"><strong>Zeughaus Mannheim</strong><br/>C5 - 68159 Mannheim<br/><a href='http://www.violinduo.de/wpen/events/?location_id=10'>Details</a></div>

<p>';

==> javascript doesn’t support variable values spread over multiple lines

Here’s what it should look like (one line):

map_text_10 = '<div class="dbem-location-balloon"><strong>Zeughaus Mannheim</strong><br/>C5 - 68159 Mannheim<br/><a href='http://www.violinduo.de/wpen/events/?location_id=10'>Details</a></div>';

So check the setting “Default location balloon format”, make sure you edit it to your liking and save (even if you didn’t change that much, but at least remove the trailing “<p>”, I don’t know where that comes from in your case)

In my code, it is impossible to have newlines in eg. map_text_10 in the html javascript-source, but you have it anyway, which is weird. I’m guessing you did not update all files to the latest versions.

Can you check if dbem_locations.php contains this line (around line 600):

$map_text = preg_replace("/rn|nr|n/","<br />",$map_text);

And about the setting to check: in the Events Manager Extended settings page in the admin interface of course.

I just don’t get where this is coming from. I never insert a “<p>” in the balloon div. And as you can see from line 622 in that file, where I echo this to the javascript:

$map_text_string = '<div class="dbem-location-balloon">$map_text</div>';

there is no newline between “=” and the start of the div …

Do you have any other plugins installed? I suggest deactivating all other plugins and see what happens, and then activate one by one … my guess is that some plugin is acting very weird.

This seems to be a very old plugin, not updated after 2005, so I suggest you indeed stop using it 🙂

funny story – I have the problem not to be able to edit event details, but, well, actually, I dont, because as I found out it just appears to be not editable. Actually it really is. you just dont see it. because the text is white. on white.

double click I see the highlighted “invisibible” text.

Weird.

Anyone a thought on how to fix that problem?

Btw: I am on a german installation as well.
