[Plugin: The Events Calendar] Problem Viewing Events in Calendar View since ver 1.6 upgrade today

Hey Ray,

That my friend, sounds like a bug. =) Thanks for reporting it.

For updates, release information and tips about our open source plugins, follow us on twitter @justlikeair.

I don’t know about that Shane. I’m using 1.6 and I don’t have that problem. Is it possible that the problem has something to do w/ the MapPress plugin? I am not using that.

The waveover does show the post image which is cool as long as your images are not huge. Maybe there could be an admin option to toggle the post image on/off or a way to choose a max height or width for images in the waveover.

Hi Shane,

Re my comment (at the top of this post list.

(1) I upgraded to version 1.6 today and I got exactly the same problem
(2) After the upgrade I was unable to do a number of things.

One, when I clicked on an event in say the Calendar View I got a 404
error.

Two, the ‘new’ next and previous month buttons also gave me a 404 error.

There were other things but as the site in question was live I had to uninstall 1.6 and go back to the previous version pretty quickly.

Please note that everything did and does work perfectly in the previous version.

Regards,

Ray Atreides

Since Ray obviously cannot leave his site up broken with 1.6, does anyone else have a similar problem on a test site we can see?

Ray, anything out of the ordinary about your theme structure?

Justin

it seems as of 1.6 the entire post (as it would appear using single.php) is being loaded into the mouseover effect. I’m looking into limiting it to a certain number of characters on my own site.

so – given I can’t code at you guys level, I’ll just point to the error and hope I’m right.

>> based on some basic tests it seems that there’s a problem with this line (line 137 in table.php)

<?php echo The_Events_Calendar::truncate(the_content(), 30); ?>

I’m gonna guess that the legacy truncate function from 1.5.6 doesn’t handle the data type passed to it by the_content() in the same way it would handled the data passed by $event->post_content making the truncation effect die – and ultimately resulting in the entire post being loaded into the tooltip display.

Hope that helps catch the bug!

Hi, I have a similar problem with 1.6
Pages with uri longer than /archives/category/events/ (like https://www.mtb-mai.ru/archives/category/events/month or https://www.mtb-mai.ru/archives/category/events/upcoming) return 404 error.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your response and for the responses of others.

The site in question is TMBB

I do not think that there is anything ‘out of the ordinary’ but you never know eh?

I do use W3 Total Cache?

If I can help in any way please let me know.

I have a very high regard for this plugin & your team and am keen to use it in some new sites as well.

Regards,

Ray Atreides

I have installed 1.6 and it seems a backwards step, lots of views just fail to show.

Where can I get a copy of 1.5.6 to reinstall a working copy?

@alx-xc – I’m guessing that’s a permalink structure problem – try changing your current setting for “Use pretty URLs” from within Settings > The Events Calendar > Use Pretty URLs

@steve Weblin – I responded to your other post as well. Would love if you were able to detail the issues you were having. I love this plugin and I’ll encourage any help to make it work better – even if that is saying the horrible errors you had to endure because of it ??

@godkid
Thanks, it`s working )
but “get” query is not good…

I have copied the new gridview.php, list.php and single.php into my theme. But I still get a 404 error when selecting “view all events” in the widget.

+ the format of the widget text changes. The text “view all events” moves to the bottom of the widget area and the entire text for each event becomes a link rather the “more info” part only.

It makes no difference if i select calender or list as default view or toggle the pretty URLs facility.

I had hoped this new version would enable the list view to work as well the calender view – at present I only get the most recent event to show in the list and then only if I am loggedin.

Will revert to 1.5.6 again.

This plugin is great in theory but I am losing patience with these bugs. I would expect plugin that is offered for an automatic upgrade via the admin console to upgrade gracefully.

@steve Weblin
> there is customization for the widget display as well – are you saying you also copied over the events-list-load-display.php file? If so you should be able to customize the look of it.

> although I agree with you in principle re a smooth upgrade, I also recognize that there is no way for the developers to practically do this – HOWEVER – I think there is the need to put up a notification warning users that custom templates/views from 1.5.6 will not work seamlessly in 1.6 and give instructions (on how) to upgrade said customized templates >> A kind of effect and response that is common in “major” upgrades.

We are also having a few of the issues listed above.

Mouse over on Calendar view is showing the entire post including any images, etc. which is a bit messy.

Google Maps are no longer showing up in the event posts.

That pesky bug persists where today’s events aren’t showing up in the widget. (server/wordpress dates/times are accurately set.) Today’s events seem to finally show up in the late morning PST between 9am and Noon. Very strange.

You can see the event list widget(left column) and calendar here: https://brewpublic.com

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi,

Regarding the first problem with the tooltip pop-up window (gridview.php) showing too much of the post content, thanks to godkid for pointing out line 137 of views/table.php.
<?php echo The_Events_Calendar::truncate(the_content(), 30); ?>
That must be changed to:
<?php echo The_Events_Calendar::truncate(get_the_content(), 30); ?>

This will be committed to the trunk version. If there are enough bugs, there could be a dot release or two coming.

Justin
