thanks for the reply but that plugin was not what i was looking for. perhaps i explained my issue in an unclear way but i have since resolved it on my own:

// steve lam - allows category update via the events venue dropdown menu rather than the sidebar category widget which is hidden in the events custom post type. this is needed because the crappy events calendar plugin only supports regular categories
function event_venue_category($post_ID) {

	$campus_name = get_post_meta($post_ID, '_EventVenue', true);
	$venue_name = get_post_meta($post_ID, '_venue_campus_specific', true);
	$event_category = array(
	get_cat_id('Events'),
	get_cat_id($campus_name),
	get_cat_id($venue_name));
	wp_set_post_categories($post_ID, $event_category);
}

got it to work! in “extra_search_fields.php” you just need to throw in the custom post type name pretty much anywhere it says ‘post_type’

i tried that post above and added the hidden value (<input type=”hidden” name=”post_type” value=”post type name” />) into the plugin code where it outputs the search form. it didn’t work for me.

the above code does put the events calendar into a custom post type but it breaks ical functionality. every ical feed is now blank so i assume its trying to query posts from the regular post type and not the custom? any idea how to fix this?

no one?

heres a visual depiction of my dillemma

(basically can’t get the dropdown of categories to save upon publish)

i also need to overwrite any previous category the post has been saved in (so basically only one category per post)

this would be a much appreciated addition. right now i can only use the feeds that give you the title and submitted date of the event but would like access to the actual event date and etc.

yes i discovered the advanced settings a little later on..i was hoping to just erase all of the styles but every time i clear the fields, upon saving the default values come back. i guess they can’t be blank? i certainly don’t need a css class for every single part of the form.

either way thanks for the quick feedback/response.

got it. did not notice the advanced settings area!

hey hey,

firstly i’m using the new standalone version. in the standalone instructions it states that ‘encode’ is a valid option but i’m assuming this is only done with the ‘full’ wordpress plugin version? i’m guessing any urls being encoded are probably done via php.

Just wanted to say thanks for the audio player! I’m actually running Textpattern and managed to get your latest beta working with a simple plugin on this site here https://sickpill.com. (none of the fancy admin stuff like the color picker though, but most settings seem simple enough to configure via swobject params anyway). love the addition of volume control!

then you are in the vast minority of wordpress users.

either way, that article is also still applicable regardless of you having already read it. i don’t see how you telling me about your personal expertise has anything to do with how this post still applies to the vast majority of wordpress users who do not keep up on the news surrounding web security.

oh, and heres another article you can peruse on your own time.

“you qualify that question with __”recent”__? Why?”

because it applies to wordpress. pwnpress works for several RECENT versions of wordpress. get it?

oh, and saying something is “weeks old” is kind of ridiculous and doesn’t negate anything about the hack, especially when it applies to so many recent versions of WP. with 2.3 JUST being released, theres still a massive amount of people running prior versions and i’m sure a ton of them don’t even know about the hack nor would they bother upgrading for fear of breaking plugin functionality.

oops and i spelled preliminary wrong in the initial post. my bad.
