my understanding is that “Feature: added placeholder #_LINKEDCATEGORIES: creates a link per category for the corresponding event, linking to a list of future events for that category” should do exactly what I want.
If an event has several categories, say “every tuesday” “featured” and “karaoke” I want to be able to click on the little thing that says “featured” and be able to see every other event that is in the “featured” category.
instead of it working that way, I click “featured” and am taken to a page with what seems to be every event??
is there a checkbox somewhere that I need to click to use categories? or, what am i missing here? you can see the example at http://halifaxnoise.com
thanks.
I suppose I should add that in settings > general options > use categories
I have it set to YES.sorry to keep adding to this, but, just noticed when I click on the name of the event (#_LINKEDNAME ) it takes me to the same page as clicking on any category, the page that seems to list all events.
Works fine here. As an example, click on the “examples” above, and then choose “test future recurring event”. There you’ll find a linked category, showing only events with that category.
Can you show an example?yes, on the front page of http://halifaxnoise.com you’ll see a few events, and the categories beneath them. clicking on the event name and/or any category takes you to a page with all the events on it rather than the single event page or just the events for the specific category that you’ve clicked as you’d expect.
i’m using [eme_events template_id=1 limit=0 show_ongoing=0 scope=today showperiod=daily link_showperiod category=21] in the page
and the template is:
<h35><h31><li>#_LINKEDNAME @ #_LOCATION / #g:#i#a</li> </h31> <h33><li>#_EXCERPT</li></h33> <li><h34>#_LINKEDCATEGORIES</h34></li></h35>if that explains anything
Ok, local testing seems that even with permalinks it works just fine. You seem to use permalinks, so: can you regenerate the rules (disable/re-enable permalinks) and make sure your .htaccess file got updated ok?
would it be better if i just didn’t use permalinks, i’m totally fine with using the default link structure if that will make the events actually work. i’m not sure how to check it the .htaccess file “got updated okay” i’ll see if google knows how to check that.
i just set up a test site without other plugins to conflict and left the default permalinks … and its working. so … it might be a permalink issue.
just clicked on a category and i’m getting the error “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 89 bytes) in /home/r00kie/halifaxnoise/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 108”
oh, wait .. did you mean to change it in the main settings permalink for the whole site or just in the events settings. i’ve tried both and it isn’t getting me any closer to having a working website. any other ideas?
is there a way to export everything and set it all up fresh. there are around 1000 events in the system.
If it works on a new site, then it will work on your old site too.
Again, as said: do the permalinks thing and check your .htaccess file (modification time).
Also: 64MB (your memory exhaustion) is not much for php and wordpress (especially for that many events), so increase that to eg 256 or so. See
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHPi reset all rules for the .htaccess file by using the plugin wp htaccess, then confirmed the time the file was modified via ftp. it’s def getting updated.
all that’s in the .htaccess file is :
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
should it have anything specific to events that it’s missing or something?
sorry to keep bothering you with this but it’s actually driving me crazy!!Seems ok to me.
Although, the categories you’ve created got me testing weird characters here, and I finally found some inconsistent behavior (for multilanguage, and when showing a cat).
See if this change helps you in any way:
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1148458
edit, reverted a small part back:
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1148490my whole website folder has disappeared from my server. godaddy says maybe i was hacked?
anyway. looks like i need to start everything from scratch . ughhhhh.guess i won’t use fancy permalink this time.
totally wasn’t accusing eme!!
okay, so, i’ve pulled my site mostly back together and as you guessed db was still there.
i reinstalled the eme plugin and downloaded the .zip of the change you made, and replaced the me_categories.php file via ftp. that didn’t make a difference.
but — i realized that you were probably saying that the problem was that I was using ampersands, spaces, etc in my category names. soo i thought if i switched all of my category names to something more simple with just letters and no spaces maybe that would be the fix.
when i try to change the category names I get the error:
There was a problem editing your category, please try again.so, I guess renaming isn’t allowed??
i could erase all my current categories then go thru all of the events and re-add new ones?
I had the issue yesterday evening with “There was a problem editing your category, please try again” and I thought it was due to qtranslate (couldn’t find anything else that was causing this). I’m debugging that too.
more investigation on my end ..
i’ve been playing around with samples on my test site.the problem is reoccurring events.
i did a test with around 5 events, at various locations, in a variety of categories. things were working fine.
i deleted all those events.
changed nothing else and added 5 events that reoccured at weekly intervals.the categories and event links page were broken.
so. i have no idea what the fix is – but maybe try looking in that direction?further exploring on my end – no idea if this is actually helpful to you, but:
i removed all of the events on the test site (iwillnotmakeboringart.com) again.
added 3 single date events
followed by 2 events that happen weekly.
the event links and category links are working.I’m still guessing that permalinks are messed up in some manner (wordpress is not the most stable in that region). Can you try to reproduce the prob without permalinks on your test site?
Concerning the edit issue: I couldn’t replicate it here anymore (but I made some small changes), so I’ll consider that fixed (and since nobody was complaining, I attribute that to my test code).so, you want permalinks in event settings to be set to no
and in wordpress settings > permalinks you want it set to default?
