Renagade Code Messing up Layout

[Anonymous]

First off, I wanted to start by saying that I really appreciate all the work you have put into this plugin. You have done a great job! Thank You!

So I am having some issues with the plugin output and I am wondering if I am missing something obvious, maybe I am pushing the plugin beyond it’s intended use, or if I have encountered a few small glitches. Let me explain.

1. I am using a widget in my theme with a sole purpose of displaying a mini race schedule event list. If I delete the Title from the widget it defaults to displaying “Events” Is this typical behavior for this plugin? Is there a way to remove the title completly?

2. Also in the widget. I have a very specific need for the “List item format:” however the plugin keeps wrapping my list with the following code:

<div id=’events-pagination-top’> </div>

// My list format here

<div id=’events-pagination-bottom’> </div>

Is there a way to stop this from happening via the settings menu? If I have to edit the file can you give me some guidance as to how so I don’t mess it up. I believe the file is eme_events.php

If you are able to help with any of this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

In the widget, these divs shouldn’t be there … also I agree that the empty title should be possible as well. I’ll look into both

For the widget title, change in eme_widgets.php the code:

$title = apply_filters('widget_title', empty( $instance['title'] ) ? __( 'Events','eme' ) : $instance['title'], $instance, $this->id_base);

to

$title = apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title'], $instance, $this->id_base);

For the pagination: go into eme_events.php and change the line mentioning (around line 946):

// now add the pagination

$output = $pagination_top . $output . $pagination_bottom;

to

// now add the pagination if needed

if ($paging==1)

$output = $pagination_top . $output . $pagination_bottom;

Btw: both changes are applied to the trunk version

Thanks Franky! That helped tremendously! I did find one more line that needed modification.

in eme_widgets.php

echo <ul>$events_list</ul>

was still wrapping the output with a

<ul> so I changed it to

echo "$events_list";

Donation coming your way thank you very much for your help!

[Franky]

You should leave the <ul> in, as the events are expected to be in a list (for now). I’ll change the widget code so you can enter a header/footer part yourself, instead of hardcoding it. That should solve it for you then 🙂

Ok, the code for that is now in trunk.
