Community Events Questions

[selym]

I’m using the Thesis 1.8 theme and I’m always on the lookout for a decent event plugin that allows users to submit. Right now I’m using the Event-O-Matic plugin that is almost there for me, but I still like to test out others as I find them.

Hope you don’t mind answering a few questions. By the way, whether I keep using this or not, thanks for making it available to everyone. ??

-I uncheck “Wait for validation” and hit save, but when I return to the settings page, it’s checked again and submissions still require approval. Any idea why this might be happening?

-Is there a widget in the works? I thought it might be nice to have the 7 day in the sidebar, but a link to the full schedule in the main navigation menu.

-Do you know what I’d have to do to the included stylesheet to make it look like your screenshots on wordpress? My submit/add event buttons looks like a gray text field, default look I suppose.

-Is it possible to have an event that is an all day event that does not require times?

-Can I remove form fields from the front end form without affecting the plugin otherwise? (event category, venue label, dates, purchase tickets, etc,)

I guess that’s enough for now. Thanks for the input/answers.

– For the wait for validation option, there was indeed a bug. It is fixed in version 1.1.2.
– No, I did not have a widget in the works, although I could potentially create one. An alternative to get it right away is to install a plugin like “Allow Shortcodes in Text Widgets” and then create a text widget with the shortcode for the 7-day view.
– It is not currently possible to have all-day events. I will look into this possibility when I find some time to implement new features.
– You could remove them from the code if you don’t want these fields. But that will make updates tedious. I can also see about adding options to control which fields are shown.
