3.0 html support and styling

  • Resolved MikeShand

    I’m trying to map my existing use of v2 into v3 and have run into two difficulties:-
    1. I use html tags in my calendar descritions of the form <p id=xx> so that I can then search for id=xx in the calendar feed to pull out a subset of events. Obviously this SHOULD be interpretted as a paragraph with an id, and hence shouldn’t display (and indeed it doesn’t in V2 or anywhere else that you look at the calendar, such as a google embed). But in v3 it displays as <p id=”xx”> (note the extra quotes). I’ve tried html=”yes”, etc but to no avail. Any ideas?

    2. The other problem I am having is making the styling look something like it did previously. The big bold block dates are all very pretty, but for some uses just don’t work, and the default spacing of the entries on the same day is very wide. I can fix the latter by putting in some negative spacing in ccs, but I can’t immedeately see how to get rid of the day styling and line. No doubt a close examination of the generated source will reveal this, but I’m not that keen (for the reasons you mention) at putting in lots of explicit simple calendar css. So is there a simple way to get a more “vanilla” styling?

  • Same problem: My calendar events sometimes contain html; in the old v2.4 this displayed very nicely in the description. I have added html=”yes” to description, but I still see the raw html.

    Ok noting this down to look into. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    In case it is relevant, here is what I have for the template

    [if-not-all-day] [start-custom format=” D j F g.ia”]: [event-title] [if-location] – [location][/if-location] [if-description] : [description html=”yes”] [/if-description] [/if-not-all-day]
    [if-all-day] [start-custom format=” D j F”]: [event-title] [if-location] – [location][/if-location] [if-description] : [description html=”yes”] [/if-description] [/if-all-day]

    I suspect I don’t need all that any more, but that’s what I have that is giving the trouble.

    Thanks. Will let you know when we have something in the works/fixed for this.

    I raised this another thread too. The html tag is quite popular I think and well documented.

    Looking forward to a fix for this.

    Yup thanks I have added it as a bug to fix here also:

    I see that html support is improved, but not really working. Now the images I have embedded in the description vanish completely (before they we visible as html of the links) and coded links show the URL format, not the text of the link.

    Any progress?

    Do you have a link so I can see what it looks like now?

    Yes images not working for me either. See my github comment on this issue.

    img tags get inserted along with html but the tag’s attributes are all stripped out. So no src or alt which means you get no image.

    This version seems to have fixed my problem with <p id=xx>. I haven’t yet tried it to see if actual html links display correctly.

    However, I’m still struggling with the display options. I can remove the “banner” dates in list view by using compact view, but then (as it says) this puts all the events in one list rather than blocking them per day as it used to.

    What I want is

    Wed 02 Dec
    10.00am Advent Holy Communion and MU party
    3.45pm Kids Alive 325
    Thu 03 Dec
    6.00pm Compline
    Sat 05 Dec
    8.30am Prayers for the Parish

    but what I get with compact list is just

    10.00am Advent Holy Communion and MU party

    3.45pm Kids Alive 325

    6.00pm Compline

    8.30am Prayers for the Parish

    How can I get what I had before. i.e. blocked per day, but without the fancy per day header?

    Mike’s issue is a separate issue, nothing to do with html content, but for the record I too used to have events grouped by day. The new version has completely destroyed it.

    Images do now work in html. Turned out the html did not have space between alt and src tags. Possible that new version of plugin is more fussy.

    Ok so it is working correctly now then? What do you mean having the events grouped by day?

    I am still not getting images, or even links.

    https://famvin.org/en/calendar/vincentian-feasts/ — Dec. 12 – Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe should have an image.

    my code looks like this:

    [event-title]
    Starts: [start-time]
    Ends: [end-date] – [end-time]
    [if-location]

    Location: [location]
    [/if-location]
    [if-description]

    Description: [description html=”yes”, autolink=”yes”]
    [/if-description]

    [link newwindow=”true”]More details…[/link]
