[Plugin: Events Manager] Getting error in widget – did it get tested before release?

Travis – Are you using military time?

No, my default single event format is:

• #D #j #M #Y
  #g:#i#a – #@g:#@i#@a
  #_LOCATION
  #_ADDRESS

  #_NOTES

For any particular event the time is always the same:

6:00PM – 6:00PM

If I change it to military time (#H) it is still wrong:

18:00 – 18:00

The grid list of Events from the Edit menu in the Dashboard displays the time as military time, but the time is correct there.

Thank you for your response so far.

I meant are you entering the event time in military. I have my settings as #M #j #Y at #h:#i#A ( I don’t display the end time) and if the event starts at 7PM I enter in 19:00 for the beginning time of the event. I think the #h and #H is just for how the time is displayed on the output page.

I don’t see how I can enter the events in military time. The time picker seems to be formatted for short time with AM/PM

Hmmmmm, I don’t have a time picker. I got the latest version, but I have had path problems getting this plug in to work. You might try the author’s site, https://davidebenini.it/category/wordpress/. I think he is on a 8-10 hour time dif than the USA, so he maybe sleeping right now.

Excellent. I will try. Thanks for your help.

Hello folks,
there must be indeed be a problem with the display of time. I haven’t been able to reproduce it in my machine, for it seems related to older PHP/MySQL versions, but my friend and main tester Brian experienced the same problem on one of his servers. Also, it’s a strange bug that comes and goes unpredictably. To circumvent it, in 2.0b4 I introduced a set of 4 new pre-made time placeholders, documented here.
I hope they are useful for those experiencing problems with the PHP format characters.

Hi Folks

Right I have been following the posts as I am having a problem with the events manager too. I have recently downloaded EV 2.0rc1 (seems to be the only one available at the mo). I am running WP 2.7.1 on a php 5 platform (I have to for mailpress). I am getting the following error:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘event_id’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT event_id, event_name, DATE_FORMAT(event_start_time, ‘%e’) AS ‘event_day’, DATE_FORMAT(event_start_time, ‘%Y’) AS ‘event_year’, DATE_FORMAT(event_start_time, ‘%k’) AS ‘event_hh’, DATE_FORMAT(event_start_time, ‘%i’) AS ‘event_mm’, DATE_FORMAT(event_end_time, ‘%e’) AS ‘event_end_day’, DATE_FORMAT(event_end_time, ‘%Y’) AS ‘event_end_year’, DATE_FORMAT(event_end_time, ‘%k’) AS ‘event_end_hh’, DATE_FORMAT(event_end_time, ‘%i’) AS ‘event_end_mm’, event_start_date, event_end_date, event_start_time, event_end_time, event_notes, event_rsvp, recurrence_id, location_id, event_contactperson_id FROM wp_dbem_events WHERE event_start_date >= ‘2009-04-25’ ORDER BY event_start_date LIMIT 20 OFFSET 0

Please can someone give me a solution

I’ve the same problem. Upgraded today using the automatic update and kaboom, hell frozen. Any solution to this? I’m using WP 2.8.4

I have the same database problem. I followed this thread, found the stable version and installed that, the same database error comes up on the edit page.

I’m running 2.9.2 WordPress.
