In trunk now:
Feature: scope=Nm–Mm, to get the events from month N in the past/future till month M in the past future (eg. scope=-3m–2m , scope=0m–3m)
the days should be ok now, forgot something.
The months: I’m not including the current month because it can get confusing. Suppose you want to show the events of the last 3 months: showing the current month might show future events, and that for the last 3 months? The same logic applies for future months to be shown.
If you want the current month, I would suggest to use either “this_month” or wait until I implemented extra scopes, so you can use eg. “0m–3m”
For the events shown: use ASC and DESC as usual for the sorting.
Empty days are not shown, the event list is not a calendar. Using wordpress and hooks/filters is explained here: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=41
For now the this_week parameter doesn’t take the shift into account. This is a bug, so I’ll move this to bugs for that part.
Check your plugins and all you did: the xml-tag needs to be the first line of output, in your case it’s the second one.
Different sender is not possible (yet), different contact person and different mail text are possible though.
Adding two form fields results in no change, since it’s eme that’s doing the parsing. Or are you using another plugin with higher priority that’s taking this in first?
Check the mysql table wp_options, option_name “siteurl” (and “home” as well maybe). Sometimes wp is getting things wrong …
@gunray: I see RSS events in your feed, so it seems to be ok. Concerning the browser: I advise you to use a debugger there and see what’s the problem, since it works in firefox/chrome I can’t help you further here, but I’m pretty sure it’s a js thing in your theme somewhere.
@paintstripper: you don’t have titles for your events. No titles, no valid RSS. You can check the validation of your RSS feed here: http://validator.w3.org/feed/
The issue with
<item>not starting on a newline is resolved (but not the caue of your problem here)It’s a wordpress thing: encapsulated shortcodes are screwing things up, so you can’t use a shortcode (something with “[…]” inside another shortcode. See the limitations section on the wordpress API page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API
If coding this, you need to get the event ID. Look into the filters available for event lists: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=41
I added a new placeholder “#_IS_PRIVATE_EVENT” in trunk, which returns “1” when an event is private. You can now use this in a conditional tag and check for it’s value. See http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=24 for docu and examples on conditional tags.
Deleting an event needs to be done in the admin interface. Are you talking about just being able to choose between deleting one event in a recurrent series?
I’ve added the following in trunk: scope=+Xd, scope=-Xd, scope=+Xm, scope=-Xm, with “X” being a number,
so you can now go X days/months in the past/future. The months scope shows the X last months or the X next months, not the current month
Of course other possibilities are now possible: scope=-Xm–+Yd or so, but not done yet (easy enough to code, but I’m lazy 🙂 )
It’s a php serializing standard, you need to follow it if you manually change things. So no autmatically updating possible. Best thing to do is to calculate the length of the string and replace things with a script.
If you change the content, also change the sizes. Here you changed the url, but you neglected to change the size indicator “s:80” to match the new size (I’m guessing it should be “s:72”)
Hmmm … try using the filter for eme_event_list_filter: see http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=41
It’s a typical wp filter, so the first time just do a “print_r” of the array, so you know what you’re dealing with.
Also, you can filter by location, so maybe if you move all events for one class to the same location? Then the location could be the classname or so …
The CSS part I leave up to more capable hands than me 🙂 Try using firebug to help you out here.
But if you have more than 30 events for a day, that row increases in size to fit it.
Events are not posts, so the dropdown you talk about won’t give that info (I honestly don’t know what dropdown you are talking about, but I can imagine it).
Well, there are some notification systems for wp, but only for new pages/posts. I’ve already implemented a hook for when a new event is entered, now it only needs to be hooked into for notifications. And people probably want only notifications for specific categories, so they need to be able to subscribe/unsubscribe to categories (something like “let me know if something happens for similar events”)
Look in the line above that one, and further down for the variable $submit.
It should work just fine … but I’ll check it out
Added in trunk:
* Feature: scope=”this_year” is possible for shortcode events_list
* Feature: scope=”YYYY-MM-DD–today” and “today–YYYY-MM-DD” are now possible, to show events from a certain day in the past till now or from now till some day in the future, also “this_week–today”, “this_month–today”, “this_year–today”, “today–this_week”, “today–this_month”, “today–this_year”
@admintiger: many scopes can still be added 🙂 But the rest is a bit off-topic already, so would you mind creating a feature request for this? I’m trying to wrap up for the next release …
Use a conditional tag to check if the value of #_REMOVEBOOKINGFORM_IF_REGISTERED is not empty, and then show the text you want. See http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=24
I’ll add that this evening if time permits it (using this_month, this_year, but “this_year” is not possible now, not even for future events)
If you have installed “Events Manager” before this, this might happen. If this is the case:
go into the settings of EME and check the option “Delete all EME data when uninstalling?”.
Then deactivate and reactivate EME.
This setting will delete all old tables and settings concerning EME, so also those corrupted by Events Manager, so you’ll start with a empty events manager then.
This is now possible in trunk:
* Feature: scope=”YYYY-MM-DD–today” and “today–YYYY-MM-DD” are now possible, to show events from a certain day in the past till now or from now till some day in the future
Change the EME format settings to your liking. Use the placeholders to change anything as you see fit, see:
For a single event:
$event=eme_get_event($eventID);
.urlencode(eme_event_url($event));If you want this inside a EME format setting, it’s easier:
.urlencode(#_EVENTPAGEURL);Hmm … I was a bit too quick in reacting: the event title size is generated by your theme, so you need to check your theme for sizings 🙂
Use CSS. See also: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=30
Create one page with at least this as content:
[events_list scope=past limit=3]
[events_list scope=future limit=0]See http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=18 for all options
Your website is showing errors in the javascript console, fix these first. These prevent other javascript (like the calendar jquery) from functioning). Probably your theme is the issue here.
If you don’t find the data, then it’s not in there. Do a mysql dump of the eme tables (database tabmes starting with wp_dbem_* or so) and import these.
Use an extra attribute and conditional tags to check for that attribute then, then you can choose to show the link or not based on the value of the attribute. Search this forum for examples (and the doc)
In the format where you use #_EXCERPT, create your own link using #_EVENTPAGEURL and the word “more” or so, e.g.:
<a href=#_EVENTPAGEURL>More</a>For the moment this requires own coding: call the api function:
eme_get_events(1);
and play with the result.
Not a bug at all … don’t do “localhost” http in the first place, but for the rest: it’s your IIS that’s blocking the request, so look in those logfiles and figure out why.
It is in the pipeline to configure this, but for now: change events-manager.php, around line 126 to the level you want/need:
define(‘MIN_CAPABILITY’, ‘edit_posts’); // Minimum user level to edit own events
define(‘AUTHOR_CAPABILITY’, ‘publish_posts’); // Minimum user level to put an event in public/private state
define(‘EDIT_CAPABILITY’, ‘edit_others_posts’); // Minimum user level to edit any event
define(‘SETTING_CAPABILITY’, ‘activate_plugins’); // Minimum user level to edit settings
in your case, the “EDIT_CAPABILITY” would need to change (probably to ‘publish_posts’).
Sorry, not possible. You can have a ical or RSS feed though …
Or if you want a page with just the calendar in it: just create a wordpress page with a very clean layout theme, then enter “[events_calendar]” as it’s contents.
Attributes are for events, not locations (not yet anyway). Locations already can have a separate image …
Use the available filters for this: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=41
Hmmm … I didn’t change anything in perticular concerning this, but any change might provoke an undesired effect of course. Maybe try this: at around line 1262 in events-manager.php, below the condition
if ($field == "event_excerpt") {add:
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );But maybe it’s better to use the available filters for this? For the filters you can use:
I still need to test it a bit though, so if you have time to test the trunk version, please do and let me know the results.
Implemented in trunk:
* Feature: you can now specify the default number of events to show in a list if no specific limit is specified (used in the shortcode events_list, RSS feed, the placeholders #_NEXTEVENTS and #_PASTEVENTS, …)
Ok, implemented in trunk:
* Feature: you can now specify the default number of events to show in a list if no specific limit is specified (used in the shortcode events_list, RSS feed, the placeholders #_NEXTEVENTS and #_PASTEVENTS, …)
The “day” does not take hours into account (because of possible timezone issues). If you want to show an event only on the starting day, use “long_events=0” as an option to the events_list shortcode (which is the default), the same goes for the calendar.
It seems something is messing up the permalinks. For starters: disable these in the EME settings and try again. Then re-enable them and try again 🙂
In your case I click on an event with link “http://www.f32nc.com/events/10/july-meeting/” and I get redirected to “http://www.f32nc.com/events”, which *might* indicate a permalink issue here.
Well, normally when clicking on an event, you go to the single event. So maybe for starters the website demonstrating the problem?
I can’t tell for sure. It seems like a bug, but I can’t reproduce it here. Are these events crossing midnight?
Docs: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress
And this line is a bit misleading (old faq entry). It means that you can change the regular settings in EME for the layout, or change the WP page template (for the post you want) and use EME API calls (which are also documented and just a fancy word for EME function calls, albeit not all)
Hi Adam,
sorry, no repo. Well, in fact there is: the wordpress repo. But I can’t give that account info 🙂
But do mail me anything you want (or post it here), and if I can understand the extra code (and it’s useful to the world) I’ll be happy to include it in the trunk version.
Btw, the trunk version:
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/events-manager-extended/trunk/
or: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/events-manager-extended/
or: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip
I see, for this I believe you want to use the option “long_events=0” for the [events_list] shortcode
You should just change the formatting setting for the Event list, that’s all. No code needs to be changed, every layout is possible via the settings.
No, the link is ok, it’s jquery that’s doing it’s work, so nothing wrong there.
Would you mind mailing me an admin account, so I can check things out: liedekef [at] telenet.be
It seems to me the clicking works, but you need to do something about your event listing format.
I would suggest: start all over with the event settings and data, by selecting “Delete all EME data when uninstalling” in the EME settings window, then deactivate and reactivate the plugin. Then all settings are back to their defaults and you can go from there.
Change the line
print "<h2><a href='".get_bloginfo('url')."/events/?event_id=".$row['event_id']."'>".$row['event_name']."</a> ".$row['event_start_date']."</h2>";to
print eme_event_url($row);Then use an attribute to indicate you want an external link and use a conditional tag to test for the value of it.
If you change the code, upgrades are going to be more difficult later on …
Don’t do that, just use the #_EVENTPAGEURL placeholder and build your own link with it, eg. in the event format setting:
<a href=#_EVENTPAGEURL target=_new>#_NAME</a>See the option “showperiod” for “[events_list]” at http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=18
Just change the formatting for those events to not show the times (when showing individual events), or otherwise for all events. You can also use an attribute and check it with a conditional tag as well, and leave out the time info when a certain condition is met. Search for events_if in this forum for examples, and read the docs on attributes and conditional tags.
Why don’t you just check for the start and end date, and if they differ: show the end date. This is explained in an example on http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=24
Then I advice you to use a filter for the event list and only use that filter for a specific page or so …
The available filters:
This means that there’s a location/event in category 18 with some description in the balloon that’s not ok. Shouldn’t happen though, so probably a bug there. Are you using anything special (weird characters, etc …) in the location balloon there?
You have to change the settings so the registration form becomes available. In your case you want to change the setting “Default single event format” and use at least the placeholder “#_ADDBOOKINGFORM” in there (you can use plain html as well). See this page for other possible placeholders for events:
Sorry, no idea as of now for the rss feed. This might be a bug, needs to be checked.
For the jquery: problably the slideshow plugin loads a jquery different from the one used by wordpress, preventing certain functionality.
In the widget settings you can change the format of the list being shown by using any of the shortcodes mentioned on this page: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=18
Ok, the format issue is a bit weird. I’m moving this to bugs so I don’t forget to look at it.
For reference to myself: the problem seems to be with encapsulated shortcodes (which I don’t know if wordpress supports fully). The page content:
<ul>[events_list scope=past order=DESC limit=0 format="<li>#M #j #Y - #_LINKEDNAME #_ATT{SPEAKER}[events_if tag='#ESC_ATT{SPEAKER}'] [events_if2 tag='#ESC_ATT{TOPIC}'] on <em>#_ATT{TOPIC}</em> [/events_if2] [/events_if] </li>"] </ul>Mail arrived ok. The widget works fine: when selecting past events, make sure you select the correct category (or none) to show: you only have 2 past events and they have no category.
Is that enough?
For the second page, create a template, use the shortcode [display_single_event] and use the filter “eme_event_filter”, see
http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=41. You should be able to change the layout of the event then.
I know it’s a event-per-event thing using this shortcode, but for now …
Or another option: put that event in a special category and use the [events_list] shortcode with the option “category”. Also use the “format” option, so you can just show what you want for that event …
You can also play with conditional tags here.
Much to try out, hope it helps!
Well sure, mail me an account: liedekef [at] telenet.be
But I can’t promise you anything before tomorrow evening though (probably Wednesday, construction works are starting here …)
Concerning the quotes: I can’t tell from here. I would need to see/experiment for myself with your settings.
The widget: no idea. Again I would need to test on your system myself, and maybe get a dump of your db.
My previous post stands: the special events page you set in the settings is needed and used to render events.
Events are not posts and thus need a page to render onto.
Well … for example the string “LOCATIONTOWN” is nowhere in my code. Maybe you’re using “Events manager” and not “Events manager extended”?
The list of attendees is available via the #_ATTENDEES placeholder, see http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=25
#_ATTENDEES will return a html-list of names attending the event (formatted via the setting “Attendees list format”)
Formatting should always work, but you need to be careful with quotes there.
The widget works just fine for past events, see my example on http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress
You can also use a filter, see http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=41
If you have installed “Events Manager” before this, this might happen. If this is the case:
go into the settings of EME and check the option “Delete all EME data when uninstalling?”.
Then deactivate and reactivate EME.
This setting will delete all old tables and settings concerning EME, so also those corrupted by Events Manager, so you’ll start with a empty events manager then.
Either install the trunk version or wait for the next released version.
Trunk: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip
If wp ignores the back to back brackets, just put a space in between them.
The special events page you set in the settings is needed and used to render events. As mentioned in the EME settings: “The content of this page (including shortcodes of any kind) will be ignored completely and dynamically replaced by events data.”
So create another page, add the shortcode and it will be ok.
The reason is simple: for now you can’t compare to an empty value, the if-structure I wrote ignores it and falls to the default, which is to check if the tag value is not empty.
I added the possibility to specify “is_empty=1” as condition part in trunk, so your code becomes:
[events_if tag='#ESC_ATT{SPEAKER}'][events_if2 tag='#ESC_ATT{TOPIC}' is_empty=1]
[/events_if2][/events_if](also, be carefull: wordpress sometimes doesn’t like “[” and “]” right next to each other and might ignore it …)
You can use other formatting for time, see the doc: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=25
don’t change the code. Use the shortcodes as I told you before. You *always* need a default event page (I never said you didn’t), it should best be a page not shown in the menu itself.
Make sure you don’t have any extra html characters inside these shortcodes, wordpress is very picky about that. And in which setting did you enter this?
sorry, but no: rss feeds are a one-on-one relation to your events. Maybe later on I’ll add a feature to only show an event starting from date x to date y or so, but not just yet.
Did you look at the examples at the bottom of the page? You should really try to play with conditional tags, it adds a lot of freedom.
Sure you can, but I don’t think it’s going to happen any time soon. It’s after all an events calendar, not a tool subscribing to other calendars. If you want that you should use another software that can subscribe to multiple calendars using ical or rss feeds.
Don’t change files. This is perfectly possible using the standard configuration options:
– start your table in “Default event list format header”
– end your table in “Default event list format footer”
– for each table row, enter the html in “Default event list format”, using the placeholders available for events and time: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=25, eg:
<tr><td>#_NAME</td><td>#_{Ydm}</td><td>#_ATT{price}</td><td>http..../...?code=#_EVENTID</td></tr>or, if the link is also an attribute:
<tr><td>#_NAME</td><td>#_{Ydm}</td><td>#_ATT{price}</td><td>#_ATT{eventlink}</td></tr>Understanding the use of attributes is explained here: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=29
Yes, using attributes this can be achieved. If you search the forum, you’ll see other people having integrated eme with a shopping cart. For attributes, see:
Set your “Events page” setting to some hidden page. Then disable/re-enable the plugin to force the rewriting rules to refresh.
No css change gets overwritten at all. See http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=30
Another plugin or your theme is probably interfering with the jquery. Try using the default theme and try again. If that doesn’t work: try disabling all other plugins to see if that solves it, and then re-enable one by one.
Don’t change the special events page, create your own page with shortcodes and add the ical-shortcode there as well.
By default only 10 are shown, change this using the shortcodes and the limit option, see:
These are not valid placeholders. See http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=23 for all placeholders (for events, locations, etc …)
@webby2: I don’t believe that google doesn’t index the events, if I search for “site:brisguide.com” in google, I find some references to events. So google indexing works.
Again: if you think google should index your site but it doesn’t: contact google and discuss it with them.
I don’t know that plugin, but I’m guessing it only indexes posts and pages. Events are not posts, so …
2 things you need to do:
“WordPress address (URL)” should be http://dev.windmastershill.org/wordpress/ (ending with a slash)
And you need to configure your webserver to use “index.php” by default for directory indexes, otherwise you need http://dev.windmastershill.org/wordpress/index.php as “WordPress address (URL)” (and I don’t know if that works for wordpress in general).
In fact it is not a bug in eme: by removing/changing the setting “EME events page” you changed the EME behaviour, but in wordpress the permalinks stay until:
– you deactivate/activate the pluging that configures the permalink (eme in this case)
– you visit the permalinks setting and just press “save” again (not even need to change anything)
I can do the permalink thing on every page load of course, but that wouldn’t be correct …
Check your settings “WordPress address (URL)” and “Site address (URL)”. I’m guessing you moved your dir … the url requested by advancing on the link has as base url “http://dev.windmastershill.org/wordpress” where it should be “http://dev.windmastershill.org”, but since your wordpress settings give this info …
Ah yes, I forgot: already fixed in the latest trunk 🙂
Get it here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip
Well, there’s the option to remove all data+settings when deactivating the plugin: go into the settings of EME and check the option “Delete all EME data when uninstalling”, then deactivate/reactivate the plugin and all EME options should be cleared. The rewrite rules seem to be another issue, but it’s worth a try.
Which version of EME are you using? Also the settings you used please: the shortcode+options and the relevant format settings.
@marijke: nice work!
@halles: I’m always open for improvements for the time picker (in fact I don’t like it now, so maybe I should switch over to the one used by malo.conny 🙂 )
For the location processing: I am still planning on adding a status field there as well, so locations can be in draft also, and have an owner and such, but that’s for the future. The easiest way to implement locations would be just showing the location dropdown, but if you need any help, I can download your code and take a look at it.
See the documentation for conditional tags, it has examples (see at the bottom) that do what you want:
Concerning the events_if: read the doc with plenty of examples here:
This has been fixed in trunk:
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/375802
Apparently your webserver still has magic_quotes_gpc set to “on” in php.ini, please do deactivate it (deprecated feature of php)
You’re using “#l #j #F” which just shows the start date info, also use the end date then:
Fixed in trunk:
Use the eme function eme_get_bookings_for to get just the emails for the event:
$bookings = eme_get_bookings_for($event_id);
foreach ($bookings as $booking) {
$email = $booking['person_email'];
}For the rest: email list is a feature request.
Read this: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=40
The event links to the event, what you show inside the event is completely configurable in the settings via placeholders (see http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=23).
