Thanks Marcus! ??

Thanks angelo_nwl,

Cheers – I’ll take a look at that thread.

And re 2. – I’ll explain in more detail…sorry, it’s a bit of a long message, but there are possibly a few issues….

Basically, I think the links on the buddypress groups pages are a little confusing.

Firstly, if you’re logged-in, when you visit the front end Group Events page (as per my url above), you see a list of upcoming events for that group – which is all fine!

However, (unlike if you’re not logged-in) there’s no way to view each event in the front end. (A bit frustrating… you have to find the event via another page, or log-out first.) An extra ‘view event’ link for each event would be great.

Secondly, I’m a bit worried that an ordinary user might not understand what’s happening – for recurring events – when clicking on the links on this page. (In cases where they have the rights to edit these events.)

(When logged-in) clicking on the event title of a recurring event takes you to a front-end edit event page. Fine. But shouldn’t it be more clear that if the event is edited, then this individual event will now be ‘detached’ from the series of recurring events??? (In the back-end, due to the labelling, it’s clear that this will happen.)

Also, – perhaps more importantly as it could cause data loss – clicking on the right-hand ‘Edit recurring events’ link takes people to the ‘My events’ page.

BTW – not sure why you have to go through the ‘My events page’ to edit the event. Would it make more sense if the url pointed directly to the edit event page for that individual event???

Anyway, now clicking on the ‘Edit recurring events’ link on the ‘My Events’ page takes you to a front-end ‘Reschedule Events’ page editor. However – unlike in the back-end – there’s no warning message:

“WARNING: This is a recurring event.

Modifications to this event will cause all recurrences of this event to be deleted and recreated and previous bookings will be deleted! You can edit individual recurrences and disassociate them with this recurring event.”

I’m presuming that this still applies, regardless that the recurring event is being edited in the front-end.

Thanks.

Think I’ve found a simple solution: hide via CSS. Tested on latest IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera. (Apparently doesn’t work for IE6.)

e.g. to hide ‘views’ label & input box:

label[for=”em_attributes[views]”] { display:none;}
input[name=”em_attributes[views]”] {display: none;}

repeat for each label + input box that requires hiding.

If anyone thinks it shouldn’t be done this way, please let me know.

Hi Phil,

From the front end.

Okay, I’ll take a look.

Thanks,

Mat

Thanks Angelo,

But I can’t see that setting. I’m using Indexo Slider by Slidervilla. I’ve chosen it carefully, after trying out serveral others. So I’d rather not change it.

It’s at the top of my page:

Hi,

“The recurring event itself is never exposed to viewing as it’s
purely for admin purposes to create the individual events.”

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I agree. It’s just that it would be handy if the url changed to the next upcoming event (by date) in that series, rather than defaulting to the first ever event.

Unfortunately, I can’t do advanced coding, so I’d find it difficult to build a slider from scratch. That’s why I was wondering if my suggestion would be easy to achieve instead.

My slider works perfectly and is easy to configure – apart from this default behaviour for the recurring event urls.

I’ve just doubled checked, Marcus.

I copied the whole of my plugins folder and then tested by deleting all of my plugins (even Buddypress), apart from EM and WP SEO. I still had the problem. (Then I deleted WP SEO – problem went away + restored it again – problem came back.)

I’ve only recently installed WP SEO, and I don’t remember changing any of its settings. I’ve just had a look again at the settings and experimented by changing everything I could see that might be causing a problem… but nothing I did made any difference.

But it could still be one of the settings. I’ve not really had a chance to digest how they all work.

It’s WordPress SEO – by Joost de Valk.

I’ll see if I can find out if a settings change with the SEO plugin can fix this issue.

It’s another plugin.

I’ve switched everything off apart from EM / EM Pro and Buddypress, and the Locations list now works again.

I’ll find out which plugin is causing the problem and let people know.

Hi,

Yes, I’ve tried re-saving permalinks.

I’m using 5.4.4.3.

I’m not sure when it happened. I noticed it yesterday, a few days after updgrading to 5.4.4.3 but it may have been like this for a while, before the upgrade.

Tried reverting back to default template too – problem still happening. I’ll go through my plugins – but it’s quite a task as I have quite a few running.

Thanks both of you. (I did / do have an events page selected.)

Using [event_search_form test=”x”] does solve the problem!!

Cheers.

Actually, Phil, sorry that’s the locations search form.

It searches for event locations, rather than the events themselves.

Brilliant. Thanks, Phil!

Thanks for your help Michael.

I read up about ‘adopting’ jquery, but I still had a problem getting this to work. I’m sure it’s simple, and I’m just missing something very basic.

In case this helps anyone else – I’ve found another simple solution. Adding:

target=”_parent”

to the links in the original content’s php code results in the behaviour I need. The parent frame changes (i.e. the whole page), rather than the new page being loaded into just the iframe.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your help, Michael. Although unfortunately, I can’t get this to work for some reason.

Just to be clear, I’ve entered exactly:

jQuery(‘iframe a’).attr(‘target’, ‘_blank’);

in the “Onload” box (in the Javascript iframe onload options). I’ve not encased the code with any <script> </script> tags.

Clicking on any link within the iframe results in the iframe ‘refreshing’.

The iframe is the one headed “Platinum Listings”.

I can’t see any other setting which might be causing a conflict. Do you have any ideas, please?
