Events page does not appear in nav menu?

[Anonymous]

I searched around for this and googled the site, but came up short. The events page does not appear in the nav menu, and I’m confident I’m just missing something incredibly simple? Is there something I can just turn on somewhere, or do I need to do something more fanciful?

Best,

You shouldn’t use the Events page in your navigation menu, create other pages and use the available shortcodes (see http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=17).

But if a page doesn’t exist in your menu: check your wp menu settings, the menu can be changed via the admin settings in wp itself.

Okay, now I created a page ‘upcoming-events’ for example (which I tried but putting the codes directly into the html of the page. I’m not a php person but I tried for example:

<?php eme_get_events_list(“limit=0&scope=today–this_year&order=ASC”); ?>

wrapped in ul tags of course. but still nothing shows up. I’m of course certain I’m doing the wrong but don’t know what.

If I can learn how to do this, maybe I can make a little dummies guide for folks that don’t understand all the terms, and how to put together proper expressions (like myself). Example, it took me a while to realize that the top title of the shortcodes was actually a line that should be in lower case and part of some sort of call function in a php string. In other words, I’m a beginner here.

Are you putting the PHP in the post or the page template?

If you’re doing it in the post then you just want to add the short code like this:

[events_list scope=2010-00-00--2010-12-31 limit=0]

See: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=18 for more info

Hope that helps

I put the PHP in the page html. I just tried the same with the string you gave and it shows as text of course. Should this all be in a page template?

Put what tomchubb said in a page created and edited inside WP.

Having had a chance to play a bit, I am very impressed with the feature rich environment of the event manager. I noticed that the short codes seem to work in the visual page as well as the html. That is interesting.

It takes a bit of playing to get used to though and I am wondering if a short general instruction about short code construction might be needed?

Example being, when I stack some short codes together it seems to influence behavior on my instance. The following when place din []’s

events_calendar full=1

produces a full width calendar

events_calendar long_events=1 full=1

produces a small widget styled calendar (not the full calendar) that shows a start date but not the long event span?

Also, is there a way to css the color of the event days in the widget calendar? Would be nice to have event days stand out more than the dark blue/bold

Generally, are there limitations to how to stack short codes, or am I experiencing site issues here?
