Hi George,

Did you have a chance to take a look at this? It would be great to know if there’s anything causing the problem that could be easily fixed.

Thanks!

Hi George,

Great, thanks.

You can see the problem here. Would be great to have some idea what might be causing it!

Hi Nick,

I eventually did this by hacking the plugin files – yes, always a bad idea – to display the weeks of the year via a data attribute on the <td> elements of the table. It would be great if some kind of similar functionality could be included in some future version of the plugin.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the info.

Do you mean that I should set up different calendars *in Google Calendar* for different seasons, but still present them all on *one* calendar on the page in WordPress? If so, then that could work – although I’m not sure exactly how I would do this.

Here’s an update on this. I have this thing semi-working, but it only displays the four most recently-added pages:

<?php
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 4,
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
while ($query->have_posts()) {
    $query->the_post();
    ?>

<?php echo '<div class="block"><h3>'; echo the_title(); echo '</h3> <p>'; echo get_the_excerpt(); echo '</p></div> <!-- .block -->'; } ?>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Is there anything I can do to get it to display four specific pages? Can I mark the pages in some way to have them be output in the footer? Or, failing that, can I add in the specific IDs for those pages in the above code somewhere?

Thanks.

Hi Meg,

Thanks for the info. Will do.

Hi Meg,

Thanks for the reply.

If necessary, I’m fine with leaving the translations out. I just need a way to remove the default capitalisation in English! Is there no way to do this apart from hacking the plugin? Alternatively, could the default capitalisation be changed in the next plugin update?

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply. Just a point: should I edit this in the plugin files themselves? That is, below the point where you say “NO EDITING REQUIRED – PLEASE SET PREFERENCES IN THE WP ADMIN!”

What happens if I update the plugin? Won’t it overwrite my edits and re-create the original problem?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info.

I’m not sure I really understand you, though. The code you posted — where does that go? Into functions.php or somewhere like that?

How would I add several CSS options for a user to mess with in the theme?

Thanks.

Ok, thanks for your help!

Do you think it might be possible to integrate some of this plugin into my theme (is that even possible?) — in order to allow for this functionality? Maybe with some functions.php magic?

I’m trying to develop a generic theme, so I’m trying to avoid any and all hacks and plugins…

Thanks for the info. Is there no way to do this without a core hack or a plugin, though? (It seems like the kind of basic thing which ought to be a core functionality.)

Should I post the actual code from archives.php? Or some other info? Anyone got any ideas on this? Let me know, people…

Thanks.

Let me phrase this a different way.

If I have a page with my archives on it, listed post-by-post, and separate from the main blog listing (i.e. archives.php), how do I get extra information onto that page, along with the basic link to the post?

i.e., instead of having an archives page with just links, like this…

• Hello World!
• My second post
• My third post

…I want them to be something like this, instead:

• Hello World! (Comments: 2; filed under Chit-chat; tags: Hello, world; Extract: ‘blah blah’)
• My second post (Comments: 1; filed under Philosophy; tags: Thoughts; Extract: ‘blah blah’)
• My third post (Comments: 3; filed under Pets; tags: puppy, photo; Extract: ‘blah blah’)

I had thought that the obvious way to do this was to get rid of wp_get_archives, and instead use the loop to output and display the information how I wanted it . However, the loop isn’t outputting links to my posts. Instead, it’s outputting a single link — to the archives page itself.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Anyone?
