Please allow include/exclude like #_EVENTCATEGORYDESCRIPTIONS{1,5}{2,6}

[Anonymous]

Hi Franky,

please make it possible to allow include/exclude like #_EVENTCATEGORYDESCRIPTIONS{1,5}{2,6} for the event category descriptions like it is possible for the EVENTCATEGORIES.

Additionally please allow HTML at the descriptions.

Many thanks!

Cheers & Merry Christmas

Of course an automated filtering of descriptions would also be feasible, so when one would include/exclude EVENTCATEGORIES the EVENTCATEGORIESDESCRIPTIONS would automatically respect these filter settings 🙂

I like to add an additional feature request here in regards to categories and it’s descriptions which is ordering. I like to order the appearance of the categories and it’s descriptions. Either sorting could be done on the eme-categories page or via settings at the placeholder so the order at the include/exclude would also be taken as the order for the output of categories and descriptions.

[Franky]

For the first feature request, see:
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1792023/

Sorting by exclude is impossible btw … sorting by include is possible, but not now 🙂

[Anonymous]

Cool thank you 🙂
Looking forward to see sorting one day …

[Franky]

Try this change for cat order:

Hey Franky,

the HTML output is showing the HTML code itself and it looks like that I cannot use #_EVENTCATEGORIES or #_EVENTCATEGORYDESCRIPTIONS at a event description itself?

Would it also be possible to get each cat and description as a list (each cat and description) in a separate row instead or comma separated?

Sorting seems to work…

Cheers
Joerg

Latest dev should fix the html output.
Also, from the readme:
* Added filters eme_event_categories_sep_filter, eme_event_categorydescriptions_sep_filter, eme_linked_event_categories_sep_filter
These control the separator for #_EVENTCATEGORIES (default: “, “), #_EVENTCATEGORYDESCRIPTIONS (default: “, “) and #_LINKEDEVENTCATEGORIES (default: “, “)

Concerning the event description: if you really mean the description (and not the single event format), check the option “Enable placeholders in event notes”

HTML output works now.

How do I use the new filters?

By simply adding something like this?

add_filter(eme_event_categories_sep_filter,”;”);
add_filter(eme_event_categorydescriptions_sep_filter,”;”);
add_filter(eme_linked_event_categories_sep_filter,”;”);

How would I achieve a new line? by <br /> or \n or something else?

And yes using the setting to allow placeholder anywhere fixed my issue (I did not used the setting up to now because you mentioned to be careful with this setting) 🙂

As my test using my code above did not work I tested something like this:

function my_eme_separator($my_separator) {
$my_separator=”; “;
return $my_separator;
}
add_filter(’eme_event_categories_sep_filter’,’my_eme_separator’);

which gives me a ; as a separator but I didn’t find out how to make a line break.

[Franky]

Your second attempt for the use of filters is the correct one (wordpress method). Don’t forget to put this in functions.php in a child theme, so when the theme updates your changes aren’t removed.
This should do the line break:
$my_separator=”<br \> “;

[Anonymous]

Using <br> outputs also just <br> and using any other option to make a line break did not work like \n, \n\r, \r, PHP_EOL, <br>, <br \>, <br /> etc.

And I think when using <br> this will not work for the category title as the title (currently) is not supporting HTML at all?

[Anonymous]

<br /> at least works for eme_event_categorydescriptions_sep_filter

[Franky]

Indeed, fixed that part now (the html was stripped out, and \n or \r doesn’t show in html output …).

[Anonymous]

So for eme_event_categories_sep_filter & eme_linked_event_categories_sep_filter we cannot use the filter to achieve a line break as separator?

[Franky]

I think you missed the word “was” in my last post.

[Anonymous]

Now I’m confused, as it is not working for me with the category titles.

[Franky]

You updated to the latest dev version again?

[Anonymous]

To be extra secure and really have the latest version, I just downloaded again and tested.
But still no luck for the event categories listing…

[Franky]

You’re correct. Try the newest dev version now, I mixed around 2 lines in events-manager.php

[Anonymous]

Hey Franky, the separator works like charm now, however can you please re-check sorting for the #_EVENTCATEGORYDESCRIPTIONS please?

[Franky]

I thought you said sorting worked?
Edit: there was indeed a bug with #_EVENTCATEGORYDESCRIPTIONS{1,5}{2,6} itself, fixed here:
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1793478/

[Anonymous]

I’m sorry I didn’t noticed the difference, I was just looking at the categories.
I did not notice that it wasn’t sorting as expected for the descriptions itself.

But I checked the most recent dev version and now this is also fixed.

This topic is solved 🙂

Many thanks Franky!

[Franky]

Btw: I added options in EME for these 3 too, the use of filters is not that userfriendly …

[Anonymous]

I found the setting, many thanks, but I could not find the strings for translations yet.. maybe it will just take a little time.

Tested and I confirm it works 🙂

Many thanks!

[Anonymous]

Translations are made as well…
