Today's event not showing on calendar

works fine on me. did you try using default theme or deactivating other plugins temporarily to see if its a css or js conflict? and also are you using the latest EM version?

angelonwl,

Thanks for replying. Do you mean my site works fine for you, or EM works fine on your site?

I’ll try your suggestions and report back. Using EM 4.15.

I tested it to my site and just wondering if you also do some customization on the calendar widget because the aug. 31 event on your site should appear in the K1 calendar.

I didn’t do any heavy customization, but I do have the calendar set to only display future events. Thus, it does not show the 31st because it has passed.

I found the problem in the CSS file. Since the calendar is removing the hyperlink from today’s event (I don’t know why, but it is), there is no CSS code to define a date that is today, has an event, but has no hyperlink. So, in the events_manager.css file, I changed:

table.em-calendar td.eventful a, table.em-calendar td.eventful-today a {

to

table.em-calendar td.eventful a, table.em-calendar td.eventful-today a, table.em-calendar td.eventful-today {

It seems to get the job done. Hopefully this can be added into the software, because I know I’ll forget all about this when the next upgrade is released.

Thanks for helping me out, agelonwl.

I’ll fix that. thanks for sharing!

I’ll fix that. thanks for sharing!

Great! Thanks Marcus!

Geoffjb, I tried your code, but it doesn’t get hyperlinked. It shows the same thing on your K2 Calendar for today Sept. 2nd. I wonder if it is because the time of the event is past.

goldstrikn,

My code doesn’t add the hyperlink back. All it does is correctly formats the text so that it appears to a viewer that there is an event today. Otherwise, a parent could look at the calendar in the morning and presume his child does not have school that day.

I’m not sure why the hyperlink disappears as soon as event date = today’s date, but I couldn’t find anything in the Event Manager settings.

upon further reading/checking probably won’t add this because calendars aren’t really meant to have scopes (given you can navigate).

unless some more ppl see this as a worthy addition (otherwise you cna just slot that into your own theme CSS and it’ll work)

I have a similar issue with the calendar widget I just noticed today. Normally, today’s date has a gray highlight. But if there’s an event today, the gray highlight disappears, it looks like an eventless day (there is no hyperlink for me to click). I checked to make sure the event time has not passed.

So I changed the event to tomorrow’s date, and now the gray highlight on today’s date appears and tomorrow’s date shows the hyperlink to the event.

The event shows up on the events page, but not the calendar if event date = today’s date.

I reverted to the twenty eleven theme and disabled all other plugins, but still no luck.

I’m using version 4.15.

@steve,

Yup, that’s exactly the issue I am having.

@marcus,

As Steve mentioned, it seems to be a problem beyond CSS; the actual link is not there.

I’m not sure what you mean in your first paragraph about calendars having scopes, so I’m afraid I can’t comment on that.

Thank you for your participation in this thread.

Geoff

I would like that option to show today’s date and be hyperlinked. I even bought the pro version hoping that this was integrated. I may be forced to take out the calendar widget, as this can be confusing and loose business while a visitor tries to book “today’s date”. @marcus, can this be implemented?

thanks,

gerson

I can’t say 100% for sure, but I thought the calendar widget was working this morning. I thought about it some more and traced my steps.

The event I was testing was a recurring event. And then I updated the event by checking off a new category. The plugin warned me if I update this event, it will be a standalone event. I went ahead and saved the changes.

Could there be something that happened during the transition from recurring to standalone event?
