@alx-xc – I’m guessing that’s a permalink structure problem – try changing your current setting for “Use pretty URLs” from within Settings > The Events Calendar > Use Pretty URLs

@steve Weblin – I responded to your other post as well. Would love if you were able to detail the issues you were having. I love this plugin and I’ll encourage any help to make it work better – even if that is saying the horrible errors you had to endure because of it ??

Hey Steve,

Though you’ve resolved this, it would help the community if you were able to detail the problems you had.

Views not working sounds like you were using custom templates (list.php, gridview.php, single.php, etc) in your themes folder (themes > events).

Though not a lot has changed in these templates, functions name etc. are different now and thus if you upgrade the plugin but try to run it with the customized templates from 1.5.6 the views will fail.

You have to re-do your customization to regain full functionality

That is, you have to:
1. copy the new version of list.php, single.php, gridview.php from wp-content > plugins > the-events-calendar > views BACK to wp-content > [your theme] > events

2. re-do whatever edits you may have made to customize the calendar previously

IF that doesn’t solve your problem (or you’re unwilling to try the upgrade again), please just detail the errors you were having so the developers can better refine the application.

Thanks man!

so – given I can’t code at you guys level, I’ll just point to the error and hope I’m right.

>> based on some basic tests it seems that there’s a problem with this line (line 137 in table.php)

<?php echo The_Events_Calendar::truncate(the_content(), 30); ?>

I’m gonna guess that the legacy truncate function from 1.5.6 doesn’t handle the data type passed to it by the_content() in the same way it would handled the data passed by $event->post_content making the truncation effect die – and ultimately resulting in the entire post being loaded into the tooltip display.

Hope that helps catch the bug!

Thanks for the tip kelseydamas – I’ll see how this works. My reason for wanting this is because some of the events I add to my calendar will take place in a virtual environment. Being able to link to a web space in the venue “looks cooler” than having to add it to the text.

From the site – https://prayer.bechristminded.com – it’s the sidebar on the right.

So long as I’m not displaying any other TEC oriented page I see no errors. The errors are most obvious on the calendar page.

Re URLs ->
default calendar – https://prayer.bechristminded.com/category/events/month

month forward (from today) – https://prayer.bechristminded.com/category/events/2010-06

moth backward (from today) – https://prayer.bechristminded.com/category/events/2010-04

Hey Kelsey – thanks much for that tip – I had NO clue! …but I’m also lazy and don’t wanna style the entire thing over so I’ll keep the above. So my theme style.css + the custom template system you guys so EXCELLENTLY built in makes me happy!

it seems as of 1.6 the entire post (as it would appear using single.php) is being loaded into the mouseover effect. I’m looking into limiting it to a certain number of characters on my own site.

Using the plugin Widget Logic and the setting !is_category('Events') I am able to add the widget to my sidebar and hide it whenever the calendar and/or list pages are shown – effectively implementing a workaround that is as stylish (no need to keep seeing upcoming events in a sidebar widget when looking at the full calendar of events) as it is functional (allows me to display upcoming events every else on the site)

Hi Kesleydamas,

HTML is no longer accepted in the text fields for the event parameters. I used to be able to add hyperlinks using HTML – all old events with HTML hyperlinks now show the HTML code.

Hi Kesleydamas,

GREAT work with this – hats off to you and everyone who has contributed.

As more of a designer than a developer I have one request though: Do you guys to test styling on a multi-column theme? I ask because with how the CSS is written every time I upgrade I have to surgically remove and change style tags like clear: both because that automatically pushes the calendar to the bottom of the page – and you guys use that particular style command a lot.

I think much of the woes people have with the display of the plugin can be solved by simplifying and unifying the CSS into a single well commented style-sheet with classes and definitions that can be overridden or redefined easily.

by the way – what version of the plugin and wordpress are you using?

it solved issue number 1 by your list.

I solved this by simply removing the plugin from my sidebar – it’s a part of the multiple loop issue.

Not having the sidebar plugin is a pain – but inconsequential to having the calendar actually work

Hey Is41,

Easiest way to test whether or not it’s the minification engine creating the error is to do the following:

Under Settings > W3TotalCache > Minify Settings > CSS Minify Settings
– Check Enable
– Check Combine Only
– Uncheck everything else

Empty page and minify cache and see if the problem persists. If it does, then it’s a problem with your CSS. If it doesn’t then simply remove the stylesheet that has those gifs from the list and minify the other 2.

From withing WordPress: Appearance > Editor > select Header (header.php)

From outside WordPress (FTP): {your WP install} > wp-content > themes > p2 > header.php
