Suggestion for Locations widget

    I wanted to style specific items in the list of locations, generated by the Locations widget, but there was no easy way to select them (li:nth-child(16) was not very manageable!). There didn’t appear to be an option with the plugin settings GUI for this either.

    So I added a CSS class to the output by editing widgets/em-locations.php:

    echo '<li class="location-' . $location->location_slug .'">'. $location->output($instance['format']) .'</li>';

    … which has done the trick. Is there an appropriate means of asking whether this (or something better) could be incorporated into the plugin? If not, hope this is handy for anyone else trying to achieve the same thing.

    thanks for the suggestion however did you look into the wp appearance > widget > location widget?

    Aha, no I didn’t – hadn’t quite realised how that works: the widget adds <li> tags automatically, unless you add them in the widget settings, right? Understand that now.

    But you’ve reminded me: in the Locations widget, when I select “Past Events” for “Scope of the locations:”, it saves OK, but in the widget settings box it reverts to “Future Events”. If I change the settings again I have to remember to change to “Past Events” before saving. Looks like a little bug.

    Lastly, is there any chance at some point of adding #_LOCATIONSLUG to go with #_CATEGORYSLUG and #_TAGSLUG?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Mark.

    … also (with apologies for repeated posting), looks like the widget’s $li_wrap = !preg_match('/^<li>/i', trim($instance['format'])); test requires <li> (exactly), so by adding the CSS class to the item, through the widget options, I cause this test to fail, and the plugin adds a load of bogus, empty <li></li> wrappers.

    hmm, agree with the location widget scope issue; I’m going to let the devs know about this.
