Events list formatting (by month as table)

[Anonymous]

Hi,

You’ve produced a really great plugin which is flexible. Thanks. I’ll vote it in every time! (great support too!)

Im having a bit of difficulty getting an events list to display the way I need it to.

I have a tag on a page to show a list sorted by month. I get something like this

<ul>

<li class="eme_period">month, year



<li>event 1</li>

<li>event 2</li>

<li>event 3</li>

<li class="eme_period">month, year



<li>event 4</li>

<li>event 5</li>

<li>event 6</li>

</ul>

Good stuff. What i would really like to do now though is drop all of this into a table for better formatting but if I add tables through the event list header and event list main areas of the settings it adds the table after the month output. Something like this;

month, year

month, year

<li>event 1</li>

<li>event 2</li>

<li>event 3</li>

<li>event 4</li>

<li>event 5</li>

<li>event 6</li>

How do i set this so it integrate the months into the table and each of the events?

Thanks,

Dave

My guess is that you’re better of creating the table in a normal page, and use the [events_list] shortcode per column, using the scope parameter (possible interesting values here are “this_month”,”next_month” and “Nm–Mm”). See http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=18

And use the showperiod=monthly to show the month name as well.

Im still struggling to understand how I can achieve the table layout though. Im trying to get a result on the page something like this:

<Table>

<tr>

<td col span 2>September</td>

</tr>

<tr><td>09</td><td>september event 1</td></tr>

<tr><td>10</td><td>september event 2</td></tr>

<tr><td>11</td><td>september event 3</td></tr>

<tr>

<td col span 2>October</td>

</tr>

<tr><td>09</td><td>October event 1</td></tr>

<tr><td>10</td><td>october event 2</td></tr>

<tr><td>11</td><td>october event 3</td></tr>

<tr>

<table>

The repeating parts for each event row are easy enough but I cant then intersperse those with month headers because the months are handled differently by the code.

Any tips or am I trying to go about it the wrong way?

Thanks,

Dave

Please carefully read my post above and try it

Ive read your post at least 10 times. The problem is that if I use event_list for each column and showmonthly (to allow each month to be grouped) then at best I’ll end up with a table consisting of 3 or 4 columns and all of them will have the same heading showing the month name.

Could you help me with an example please?

Hi Dave,

as I’m bothering with the same problem I would like to know whether you have found already a solution.

Thanks
