[Plugin: All-in-One Event Calendar] Event details not showing

Yani,

What a sweetheart to be working on this on the week-end!

The single.php in Politico has ONLY the code that is in the first part of the single-ai1ec_event.php file. That is, it merely finds the post–or runs through them–displays it (or them), then quits. At least, that’s the way I read the code. That is ALL there is to single.php.

I have found some “Post Stuff” lines in Style.CSS which may be interfering with ai1ec’s setting a different kind of post. As I’ve mentioned, I’m new enough to this coding that I’ve had to ask a friend to look at it. He’s VERY busy, so he won’t be able to look at it until probably Monday.

I’d be delighted, as I’ve mentioned, to give you access; but since this really is theme related, you have already gone above and beyond any support “duty” from ai1ec!!! Rest assured that I will be singing the praises of your calendar AND your support services to one and all!

And, should we determine the problem within the theme, I’ll be sure to let you know so that you can let any Politico users know in the future.

Thanks again, you’ve been a dear,
Susan

Thank you Susan.
If it was a free, open-source theme I’d have access to it and tell you exactly what the problem is.
The downside of getting a “premium” theme, plugin or anything is that the community is often unable to help resolve any bugs.
Best in your case would be to hire someone to look at the theme for 1 hour. I don’t expect resolving the problem to take more than one hour. I’d start with the creator of the theme. We also have a premium support channel for everyone in need: https://theseednetwork.com/get-supported/
I’ll be happy to answer any questions so don’t hesitate to ask!

Yani,

I think that you can find it faster, since you have almost found it already. Plus I’d rather support the people who have helped above and beyond rather than just saying, “Ooops, third party. We’re done.”

I’m at a point where I would need to learn more about coding again than I really want to right now in my life to fix this. I can fiddle enough to make some modifications, which is all I really need to do. I need to be getting people to add the content to the web-site, ya know?

I think that really what may be necessary is to have just one page.php, but have an IF..Else in it that executes only the original part if it’s the usual POST and only the single-ai1ec-event if it’s from the calendar–or something like that????–but I don’t know how to do that.

Or the section in Style.CSS called “Post Stuff” needs to be repeated, but renamed and redefined for .ai1ec. Right? But again, this is where my understanding fails, because I’m not sure exactly what’s necessary, even in terms of the correct characters. (Should I use the “.” here, or is it the “#” in this position? See what I mean? LOL.)

In any case, I’m working as a volunteer. But I guess I’m willing to pay for an hour’s work. It might take even less than that at this point. What do I do from here to get premium support?

And will you get a gold star from it? You MUST!

thanks again for everything,
Susan

Thank you Susan!
One way to start is to fill a request here: https://theseednetwork.com/get-supported/
Once you fill the form above, Jenna, our Account Manager will either send you an email or call you – whichever way you prefer. The important thing here is to mention that you want me assigned on your task so she will know to contact me. I will also let her know to expect your request.

You can have an IF/ELSE statement that determines what to show depending on content – post, event, page etc, however, this is already built into WordPress(WP). Instead of adding logic, all you need to do is add files with proper filenames.
I will give you an example:
1. Right now, for every post on your website, WP will use single.php file to output post’s content.
2. single-ai1ec_event.php file will output only events, nothing else.
3. When single-ai1ec_event.php is available in your theme folder, WP will use it instead of single.php to display events.

For CSS – . (dot) is used for elements with particular class:

<div class="first">test</div>
.first {
  float: left;
}

# (number sign) is used for elements with particular ID, ID attribute needs to be unique, meaning that no other element can have that ID:

<div id="first">test</div>
#first {
  float: left;
}

I will not get a gold star, although it would fit me pretty well (smile)

@yani

your support and effort in tracking down this evil bug (and other problems) is absolutely outstanding!
I am not affected by those blank pages, but quite impressed of your patient posts with step by step help .

All-in-One Event Calendar is for sure the best plugin for sharing calendars and events! And having such an active support beside makes it even more ahead!

Thank you and https://theseednetwork.com
Cheers,
Ulle

Thank you Ulle!

Yani,

Well, I will still SUGGEST that you get a gold star. LOL.

I’ll fill out the form and request you be assigned to the project. Heck, you may figure out the last part of this problem in almost no time, though I assume SEED has a minimum time amount it will bill for.

This way, I can get back to doing ALL the other things I need to be working on, and you will know even before I do what the fix is in the future for all Politico users.

thanks again for all your many efforts–and for the upcoming ones, too,
Susan

Hi Yani,
yes, the blank page problem occured on this exact test environment. I removed the plugin, installed again and replaced the class-ai1ec-event.php with the one from your Pastebin-Link. Now I don’t even manage to view the calendar anymore… https://test.mm13.de/?page_id=339
Sorry for the inconvenience, what did I do wrong?
Greetings

Hello,

I have a similar problem. I have read through the thread and could not see a solution that worked.

You can see my calendar at https://theplace.org.il/calendar.

Clicking on event goes to a link like https://theplace.org.il/http:/ThePlace.org.il/ai1ec_event/open-hours-of-consultation-3?instance_id=5006 which does not work.

The following link does work: https://theplace.org.il/http:/ThePlace.org.il/ai1ec_event/open-hours-of-consultation-3/?instance_id=5006.

i.e. adding a slash (‘/’) immediately before the question mark (“?”) causes the link to work.

Any help you can offer?

Thanks,

Shimon

Hi all

I only installed the plugin 2 days ago and thought it was great and all I tried was working hunky dory.

Then today I found that I too had the problems that I couldn’t bring up the details, just an error screen.

So I had a long and deep think about whether I had altered anything. It occurred to me that I had changed the permalink settings so as I could get a post ID number to help me move comments from one post to another. I changed it back to post name from numeric and yippee the event calendar can see the details page again.

I wondered if this might solve anybody else’s problem.

Hope this helps

Shirley

SO STRANGE,

The thing that’s really tripping me out about all of this is when I use the same exact theme on a local test version of the site (with MAMP), **without any special ai1ec single file** it works PERFECTLY.

This would lead me to believe its not the theme (or at least the situation we thought it was with the ai1ec single file).

So then I go back to the live site and switch to twentyeleven, your plugin works fine.

I upload a second “fresh” (unedited) version of my chosen theme, and that one doesn’t like your plugin either — on the live site. Switch back to my special edited version: same issue (while twentyeleven works).

So then I tried disabling ALL plugins (except for yours)

same issue.
.
.
.

So…
1. if the theme i want works with your plugin perfectly on my local test site (MAMP)
2. if it doesn’t work on the live site
3. if twentyeleven still does
4. if the presence of other plugins doesn’t seem to make any difference

what could possibly be the issue?

@sglee2120
Thank you Susan. It’s pleasure to work with you!

@manajoe
Mana, I will fix the problem with the credentials you sent me.

@ShimonShore
Can you check your permalink settings? Make sure that there is a closing /(slash) in the end

@SHIRRICHARDSON
Thank you!

@Jonatello
Open wp-config.php on your live site and set WP_DEBUG to true.
You should see what the error is. If it is something you don’t understand, feel free to post it here and I will try to help.

I also are getting an error 404 after the events calendar had been operational for two weeks – does adding a certain number of events send it over the threshold. Should I deactivate and choose another events calendar – any suggestions? This was simple and all we needed for our little childcare centre.

Thank you! Changing the permalink settings did the trick!

Great Plugin – keep on rocking!

@rothacker
The plugin doesn’t have a limit in the number of events that you can add. Getting 404 means that the page cannot be found not that the plugin doesn’t work.
1. Go to event calendar’s settings and click on the View “pagename” to see the calendar.
2. If the page shows 404 it is likely caused by your permalinks.
3. Go to Permalinks settings and save the permalink structure once or twice and try again.
