watch out with the trunk version, I’m removing all “dbem” mentioning and this takes time as well … so it might contain bugs today
I’ve modified all function names from dbem_* into eme_* names. This will have consequences for those using own templates, but since Events Manager is no longer backwards compatible anyway with Events Manager Extended … it’s a pain for one time …
Events Manager 3.0.2 uses the same function names as Events Manager Extended (for some things). So deactivate Events Manager and use Events Manager Extended.
I’ll rename the functions in a future release, so this doesn’t happen again.
I added the following to the dev version:
* Feature: permissions now being checked for creation/editing of events:
– a user with role “Editor” can do anything
– with role “Author” you can only add events or edit existing events for which you are the creator or the contact person
– with role “Contributor” you can only add events *in draft* or edit existing events for which you are the creator or the contact person (which become draft events as well)
The events page is special. From the doc:
“When installed, Events Manager Extended creates a special “Events” page. This page is used for the dynamic content of the events. All the events link actually link to this page, which gets rendered differently for each event”
So I’m not sure why you want to move the created page to a new one, but the content of that page is no longer yours to adapt then, see also this in the Settings: “The content of this pagea (including shortcodes of any kind) will be ignored completely and dynamically replaced by events data”
So you probably are using shortcodes on the old page that are now showing up again, since the new page is used for showing the events and the old page can once again show its original content.
You might want to consider playing around with shortcodes: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/#shortcodes
I hope to add a paypal thing later on. And also a possibility to generate a unique number that can be used for bank transfers.
What other plugins do you have installed? Try first by disabling all of those, and then activate EME.
Do you have “Events Manager” installed as well, next to “Events Manager Extended”?
For posting pictures afterwards: I would create a seperate page then with the shortcode “display_single_event”, eg: [display_single_event id=23]
and then let wordpress handle the rest. Maybe there are some gallery plugins that you can use then.
For the comments itself: I’ll get on it. I have an idea of how to get it done 🙂
This would mean that there are 2 declarations of the function dbem_load_textdomain(). But in the whole code, this only gets declared once. I just tried a pristine install of WP 3.0.1 and EME 3.1.6: no problems. And the linenumbers don’t match yours … did you by any chance change anything to the code? Or not using the latest version?
I don’t believe wordpress enters the code-tag. Only when you copy it over from somewhere else where the html-code contains that tag (like from the documentation site). Lots of other plugins suffer from the same “problem” …
Well, you can change the format globally in the settings or per event. Modify the formatting for one event and copy that event if you don’t want to redo those settings …
This is the html-sourcecode for the widget:

</div>As you can see it’s all CSS-ready for you to change. You’ll want: eventless-pre, eventless-post, eventless, eventful, eventful-today. See also http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/#css
Hi, thanks for the report! In fact the div for tablenav was wrong in the events list in the admin interface. I corrected this. Could you try if this fixes it for you (with the height:auto in the css):
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/297992/events-manager-extended/trunk/dbem_events.php
The html-code tag is not used. If you don’t like the layout, check the CSS. See http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/#css
Well, there’s already a feature request open for entries made by regular users and then need to be approved. This belongs in that same category.
The status field is something that will be implemented as a first step, so it will happen very soon!
I’m deeply ashamed. The readonly-bug was introduced by me. It has been fixed and I released a new version just for that. But I tried the mailing thing, and it seems just fine by me … I get a mail to the contact person and another to the subscriber …
Try this (adding [NE] at the end):
RewriteRule ^events/calendar_day=(.*)$ events?calendar_day=$1 [NE]
Otherwise the “?” gets escaped. You should have the same problem with
RewriteRule ^events/([0-9]+) events?event_id=$1
Maybe not. Try apache mod_substitute:
Btw: this works for OR categories: [events_list category=1,3]
And in the trunk version I added this for AND: [events_list category=1+3]
This is great info, I’ll add this to the doc 🙂
Btw: since events_manager.css gets overwritten on updates, you’ll beter use “myown.css”, see the current FAQ section http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/#faq
No performance issues, except some time to create the individual events related to the occurrence.
I don’t understand why it would make it easier: if you delete one event of an occurrence, the whole occurrence gets deleted. If you edit the occurrence (the “reschedule” link), you edit all events of the occurrence at once as well ..
AND is currently not possible, but you can always try changing line 836 in dbem_events.php from
conditions [] = "(".implode(' OR', $category_conditions).")";to
conditions [] = "(".implode(' AND', $category_conditions).")";I’ll put this on the feature request list, shouldn’t be that hard to add …
For the moment EME creates these links, since it’s impossible to know the permalinks you want to have. I think in your case you’ll need a reverse proxy of some kind that rewrites the html-content like you want it. I’ll need to study permalinks more, but for now this is impossible with EME itself.
Well, wordpress has an option to activate permalinks and when you do, it creates a .htaccess file that reflects your setup. See here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
For the moment this is a no-go: for each recurrent event, all events are generated and stored in the db. So infinity is not really an option … but if you want this, take a large end-date.
I’m guessing you don’t want to show the end-date, and that’s easily achieved in the format settings (generally or per event).
I found the bug. In fact it was an issue in EME. I fixed this in the trunk version, so it should be ok for the next release.
Btw: please post in the correct forums. This one belongs in the “How do I” section.
If anybody nows better forums … I’m thinking about switching to mlmmj and use web archives …
Try changing just the CSS (create a file called “myown.css”, copy over from events_manager.css what you need changed and keep a backup of this file). In your case:
table.dbem-calendar-table td.eventless-pre, table.dbem-calendar-table td.eventless-post , table.dbem-calendar-table td.eventful-pre, table.dbem-calendar-table td.eventful-post {
display: none;
}Seems like a css bug in events_manager.css. Try changing in that file
table.dbem-calendar-table td.eventless-pre, .dbem-calendar td.eventless-post {
color: #ccc;
}to
table.dbem-calendar-table td.eventless-pre, table.dbem-calendar-table td.eventless-post {
color: #ccc;
}Edit: just tested this fix and it seems ok 🙂
EME works perfectly with permalinks, but you’ll indeed need to fiddle around in the .htaccess rules to get what you want.
This has been implemented in the trunk version. It’s always active so you can just disable the captcha if wanted.
Btw, I changed the code in trunk to remove these “n” characters, so it should be ok in future versions.
Ok, try this changeset (after the previous one applied):
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/295818/events-manager-extended/trunk
Yes, that’s still a bug. Also another one I just found: the categories are not respected when going back/forward in the calendar. Well, I know what to do this weekend 🙂
Well, I use “vi” 🙂 But wordpad or notepad++ should be ok, just make sure that the strings “n” remain “n”
Ok, I think I fixed this in trunk. Can you test if this works for you:
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/295611/events-manager-extended/trunk
If you don’t want the automated page to show up: set the setting “Show events page in lists” to “no”
I looked at his issue, and I believe when you edit using the WP editor it removes “n” in the file and replaces it by “n” … check if this is the case and correct it or use a nicer editor
Bulk import via excell or CSV is doable, but not implemented right now. Doing it via mail is not something I would do … I’ll put this in the feature request section.
Well … try changing it in the WP editor with first having made a backup, and then do a diff and see what happened. Otherwise, send me the “corrupt” file via mail: liedekef [at] telenet.be
Just tried it with changing the “Book now” heading: no issues. So I’m guessing your editor is messing around … almost any translation string can be replaced without issues …
Well … I don’t know what version you’re using, but the file called “marcus-extras.php” is no longer part of the code. That’s probably why it fails on you: you call a function that just isn’t there …
For the “Book Now”: see line 23
For seats: you were correct. But make sure you don’t use back quotes or so, just regular ones.
Did you follow what’s mentioned here:
http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/#mail-notification-setting
Seems to be an issue in that plugin: if no excerpt is present, it will show the content of the current page of the event. A bit weird though … but try using excerpts in your posts.
This is not within the Events Manager Extended scope at all … you should really learn to use firefox (or IE) CSS debugging tools. In your case, look at 2010-weaver/style.css . Removing the line
width: 800px;
changed it for the better for me.
Well, it seems you’re using a plugin that forces jquery from google to be used, see the sourcecode of your page. At the bottom I see this:
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js?ver=1.3.2′></script>
Putting that at the bottom causes lots of troubles. I recommend disabling all other plugins and using the default theme, see if it works then. After that, switch to your theme and test again. After that, start enabling one other plugin at a time and test again. The plugin doing this needs to be kicked 🙂
Hi Jan,
– [events_list] by default only shows 3 events, see the documentation for that. You’ll want to you the limit option, eg. [events_list limit=30] or [events_list limit=0] or possibly date scopes.
– For the calendar problem, it seems your wordpress doesn’t provide jquery? Maybe that’s a theme problem, as it should be present. Eg, on my site, wordpress generates this HTML code:
http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.4.2So please do check out why you don’t seem to have jquery.
And I who thought I did this 🙂
May I ask you to test the following? Replace in dbem_events.php the line
var tmp_value='<?php echo preg_replace("/rn|r|n/","___",get_option ( 'dbem_event_page_title_format' )); ?>';by
var tmp_value='<?php echo addslashes(preg_replace("/rn|r|n/","___",get_option ( 'dbem_event_page_title_format' ))); ?>';(there are 8 similar lines) and see if that solves it.
Jon,
sorry, but your userID got deleted when I was cleaning up non-active users. Please re-register.
About your question: the #_IMAGE formatting code is only for the location balloon, not the event. But what you can do is create an attribute for this. Eg, in the “Events list format” you mention <img src=”#_ATT{event_image}” /> where you want the image to appear.
This will cause the attribute “event_image” to appear for every event (if you activate the use of attributes), and there you can enter the http-location to an image
The formatting codes (these starting with #_) are not to be used as arguments in the shortcodes; and are ignored. In your case this will result in: [events_list showperiod=daily]
And for the other info: see the format settings (“Default event list format” in your case)
Please do read the documentation on how to use the shortcodes and the formatting codes.
And for #_CATEGORY: doesn’t exist, it is “#_CATEGORIES”
The list of attendees is a new feature and present in the development version, so expect it any time soon.
For the rest: read up on the documentation: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/#formatting-events
eg. to show the event details, use the format code “#_NOTES” somewhere in your setting for “single event format”
Well, I just created a paypal account and put a “Donate” button on http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress
So if you really want to buy me a cup of coffee … 🙂
Ok, confirmed as non-translation in the code. Please change in dbem_events.php the lines (around line 652):
‘
$themonth = date(“F Y”, strtotime($event));
$theday = date(get_option(‘date_format’), strtotime($event));
‘
to
‘
$themonth = mysql2date (“F,Y”, $event);
$theday = mysql2date (get_option(‘date_format’), $event);
‘
This has been changed in the trunk version as well.
I just tested this, and I seem to have no problems with this. I can add locations by creating a new event or in the locations screen itself. Have you tried to create a location in the Locations page?
Is it possible for me to get admin access to your test site so I can see for myself?
Confirmed as a bug and fixed in trunk. For a quick fix: get this file:
http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/events-manager-extended/trunk/dbem_rsvp.php
To see what I changed (very little):
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/293179/events-manager-extended/trunk/dbem_rsvp.php
This list of people is kind of useless … use the “Edit event” to see the list of people and the number of seats they requested. I will see what to do with this seperate thingie …
With the html editor, you have a button to add images … so I’m not going to add an extra field doing exactly the same.
When creating an event, add the image via the multi-media buttons in the “Details” section, just as when creating a post. Some location info can be shown in the event (like location name), but the location image is only shown in the location balloon when showing the map location of the event. If you want that, just add “#_MAP” to the “Single Event format” setting.
This should not work, try this:
[events_calendar full=1 long_events=1 order=DESC]
I’ve used this syntax here, and it works just fine: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?page_id=63
You can put any image you want in the Event description, but the location image is just what it says: for the location.
The fix is simple: use the correct settings. In the page sourcecode you can see this:
http://dev.ringforth.com/10111wpbcyc
==> your blog url is “http://dev.ringforth.com/10111wpbcyc” but when going there, access is denied …
please fix your settings.
something else is seriously wrong on your server, causing this to run longer than 30 sec … check your load, your db response time, logs etc …
It’s very weird that this should pose a problem; the column is defined as:
recurrence_id mediumint(9) NULL,
I admit that it should contain an integer, but still it accepts an empty string (single quoted) just fine here …
But probably this is the correct code:
if( isset($event ['recurrence_id']) ) unset($event ['recurrence_id']);What do you think?
Yes, I put it in the details section, worked ok. Would show you here: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?page_id=6&calendar_day=2010-09-16 , but since my DB is not in UTF-8 on this site (tomorrow), I get “?????” instead. But here at home: no prob. Even when querying mysql directly (force utf by executing “SET NAMES ‘utf8′” before any other sql select command, and it showed ok in the database.
Don’t forget: if you’re testing with utf-8, the older entries might still be screwed up. Test by creating a new entry. See also that your apache server supports utf-8.
Hi,
I just tested this here (very quick) with “Филиптур” as characters and it seems to work just fine …
Btw: the link you provided points (for me) to an almost empty page (I see no weird characters, but no event info either)
F.
Hi, thanks for this. I already fixed this in the latest trunk (together with a bunch of other things). If you want to test it out: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip
Any testing is appreciated (but do this with test data)
I’ll try this out tomorrow myself, just got home from work, need food and then off again 🙂
Stop drinking coffee and get some sleep 🙂
Btw: I think tinymce is the default in wordpress, no?
Have you checked if your database is in utf-8? I’ll try to force utf-8 by default for future releases, but converting current databases is up to the Database guys themselves (I can provide a little howto).
Edit, this is a small howto. In mysql, do this:
ALTER TABLE wp_dbem_events CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wp_dbem_locations CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
(and for all other tables as well)
not possible for now: the letters correspond to those on the map. So this would require javascript changes as well.
if you want the trunk, you’ll need to take all of it because it contains other incompatible changes as well. I advise to use it on a test wordpress …
Just delete the corresponding plugin database tables, and you’ll be fine …
But for the record: what errors did you get when going to the trunk version?
That’s the latest version, it might contain new bugs. But if you want to test it:
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip
Don’t forget to deactivate/activate the plugin.
no you’re not. This is currently not possible, but I added this functionality to the trunk:
the attribute ‘scope’ for the shortcode ‘events_list’ can now contain a date range, eg.:
[events_list scope=2010-00-00--2010-12-31 limit=200]About the templating: it’s not really my design 🙂 If you want to help templating the thing: I welcome the help!
What I meant with the overwriting thing was that is oyu change the main CSS, it will get overwritten. You can create your own CSS (called myown.css) in the plugin dir, but remeber to take a backup of it because when you upgrade via wordpress, WP will try to remove all older files in the plugin dir …
In the trunk (devel) version, there’s a shortcode for showing events by ID, if that’s what you’re looking for?
Hi,
I implemented this now in the trunk version, as a new parameter to the [events_list] shortcode:
[events_list showperiod=daily]
or
[events_list showperiod=monthly]
The Events page is special, all content of that page will be replaced dynamically by EME, see the documentation for that.
Best of all: don’t show that page in the menu and create a new page (call it what you like), put content in that page and also the shortcode you want (eg. [events_list], see http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/#shortcodes)
Franky
Well, for me to analyze this, I would need some more info. Let’s start with asking if it is possible to receive temp admin access to the wordpress backend to try it out myself?
Well, most of this is very future-like 🙂
But in trunk I implemented the feature to get directions to an event …
Sebastian, look at my comment in the CSS:
/* for google maps to work ok in IE, we need at least 690px as max-width for the images */and see what you did in myown.css:
/* for google maps to work ok in IE, we need at least 690px as max-width for the images */
#dbem_global_map img,
.dbem-location-map img {
max-width: 200px !important;
border: none;
background: none !important;
}Bad … NEVER touch the max-width here. You did …
Check your settings for Events Manager Extended. The setting “Events page” must point to an existing page. The content of this pagea (including shortcodes of any kind) will be ignored completely and dynamically replaced by events data.
Looking at the generated links on your site, this setting is probably wrong.
– sattelite map: you can switch to it, for the rest it’s a low priority thing for me
– directions: you forget that people need to enter an address where to get directions from. For now I made a new shortcut #_DIRECTIONS that adds a small form to enter an address and get directions from that address to the event, using a popup window that goes to google itself. A bit crude, but functional.
– locations_map: only one per page, not designed for multiple maps.
So, I’m assuming it’s ok 🙂
Another “bug” bites the dust … but in fact this is a dirty google maps workaround. But since it works, who cares 🙂
I seem to have fixed the scrollbar issue. Please update to the latest trunk version, and make sure to remove this from myown.css (if it’s there):
.dbem-location-balloon {
height: 70px;
}
(the height will vary)
I don’t support google V3 API myself you know 🙂 The way google maps acts is very odd sometimes … I just tested your site in IE8, and indeed the balloon is weird (also the map itself). While on my site, they look just fine. Try disabling some CSS and see what happens.
The scrollbar thing is (as said before) a google thing, I’m still fighting to get rid of it and think I found the solution for it.
This is what I have when editing an event:
<input id="localised-date" type="text" name="localised_event_date" value="09/09/2010" style="display: none;" readonly />
<input id="date-to-submit" type="text" name="event_date" value="2010-09-09" style="background: #FCFFAA" />
<input id="localised-end-date" type="text" name="localised_event_end_date" value="09/09/2010" style="display: none;" readonly />
<input id="end-date-to-submit" type="text" name="event_end_date" value="2010-09-09" style="background: #FCFFAA" />No problem at all … probably in your case the localised_event_date is empty?
Can you check the WPLANG parameter you are using in wp-settings.php? Only these are supported (the first 2 letters of WPLANG):
events-manager.php:$localised_date_formats = array(
“am” => “dd.mm.yy”,”ar” => “dd/mm/yy”, “bg” => “dd.mm.yy”, “ca” => “mm/dd/yy”, “cs” => “dd.mm.yy”, “da” => “dd-mm-yy”, “de” =>”dd.mm.yy”, “es” => “dd/mm/yy”, “en” => “mm/dd/yy”, “fi” => “dd.mm.yy”, “fr” => “dd/mm/yy”, “he” => “dd/mm/yy”, “hu” => “yy-mm-dd”, “hy” => “dd.mm.yy”, “id” => “dd/mm/yy”, “is” => “dd/mm/yy”, “it” => “dd/mm/yy”, “ja” => “yy/mm/dd”, “ko” => “yy-mm-dd”, “lt” => “yy-mm-dd”, “lv” => “dd-mm-yy”, “nl” => “dd.mm.yy”, “no” => “yy-mm-dd”, “pl” => “yy-mm-dd”, “pt” => “dd/mm/yy”, “ro” => “mm/dd/yy”, “ru” => “dd.mm.yy”, “sk” => “dd.mm.yy”, “sv” => “yy-mm-dd”, “th” => “dd/mm/yy”, “tr” => “dd.mm.yy”, “ua” => “dd.mm.yy”, “uk” => “dd.mm.yy”, “us” => “mm/dd/yy”, “CN” => “yy-mm-dd”, “TW” => “yy/mm/dd”);
If you have another basic locale, the localised start/end dates will be empty as events manager looks in this array for conversion.
For backend access: liedekef [at] telenet.be (but probably not very usefull …)
Btw, this seems weird in your phpinfo output:
Default timezone System/Localtime
==> this is not a real timezone, and this might be throwing the datepicker off course.
Edit: since you have php 5, you should have the function date_default_timezone_set(), and this function is being called from within wordpress wp-settings.php, so that should be ok..
I’m guessing a localization issue. The jquery date picker in fact hides the real input field and shows a localised field with the data. This would indeed mean that the date picker has issues, but if it works for new events …
I’ll try this here as well, but backend access would be nice, even if just to see it happen …
– what version of the plugin are you using?
– if you suspect jquery, I’d suggest to try a different browser. Which browser are you using?
– you can also always try the trunk (dev) version : http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip
– or give me some access to your backend, to see if I can reproduce the problem
Also: disable all other plugins and see what happens then. If it works ok: reactivate one by one until you find the problem plugin.
– the html-source issue is solved in trunk
– the <p> is there because you have it in the setting “Single location page title format”
– I also fixed some strings that needed translating
Made a typo, should be something like this:
.dbem-location-balloon img {
max-width:80px;
max-height:80px;
}
Well, you can already do something like that:
– use the #_IMAGE location only for the balloon format, not the location description
– add the larger image in the location description using the wordpress html editor
I know I could maybe resize the image and show a thumbnail version in the location balloon. I’ll try something like that, but in the next version. You might want to open a new entry in the Feature Requests forum for this
– satellite map: not possible for now
– concerning the [locations_map] thing: is the map displayed if you don’t use the options?
– concerning the add-location thing: this is indeed a bug, thanks for finding it. I’ll fix this asap before releasing the next release.
Edit: the add-location bug was only in trunk, but has been fixed in the trunk version now.
Edit2: the [locations_map] thing was indeed also a bug in trunk, also fixed in the trunk version now
For the image inside the balloon: again CSS to the rescue. Eg:
.dbem.location-balloon img {
max-width:80px;
max-height:80px;
}
(or just width and height, for internet explorer 6)
Otherwise I suggest you just use small images 🙂
I’m still working on the vertical scrollbar in the location balloon though, it’s a google thing …
