Matt, I am loathe to recommend changes to the core files as there is great potential to screw things up requiring a reinstallation. That being said. You can try this.
Line 351 is as follows:$description = preg_replace( “/[\n\t\r]/”, ‘ ‘, strip_tags( $eventPost->post_content ) );
comment it out and add the following in it’s place.
$description = strip_tags( $eventPost->post_content );
Let us know if that works for you.
Damian, wait till Rob or someone from Modern Tribe gives you the OK before doing this or on the proper method. I think I saw it here somewhere before. There’s a lot of talk about it here.
I don’t think the recommendation is to delete via the plugin panel, but simply to reinstall using on top of the existing installation. Deleting via the plugin panel will remove data specific to the plugin from the database in well behaved plugins. Now this may just be ECP specific data and not actual events.
Phillip,
I’ve made the same response in the plugin support site. It’s probably better to keep this part of the thread over there. 😉
I think you misunderstand what the plugin does, or I haven’t made it explicitly clear.
In order to override and customize The Events Calendar, there is a builtin facility described in Themer’s Guide for The Events Calendar. The user needs to create their own events folder inside of their active theme folder. Within this folder a file called events.css can be created to contain override CSS code.
This plugin allows for only the custom code to be inside of this file, whereas the official instructions say to copy all the code from the core file into this new file. My plugin just makes this process more efficient by leaving all the core CSS in place and only have your overrides in this file.
Your data won’t go away, but you should download the latest version of ECP 2.0.8 from here and install it directly. There seem to have been issues in getting ECP to self-update and sometimes a direct reinstall is needed.
Go to the top of this page, when you’re logged in, and from the Account Central > Downloads page, get the current version.
Damian, it begs the question. What versions of The Events Calendar and The Events Calendar PRO are you using? Also, what version of WordPress.
Barry, an idea to make sure these customizations survive theme updates is to put it in your own little plugin. Activating the plugin will ensure the code loads and any theme updates won’t affect it.
In The Events Calendar PRO settings you can add ‘Additional Fields’. This should accomplish exactly what you want.
This functionality is only in The Events Calendar PRO. There will then be a link visible on the bottom right corner of the calendar or of the single event view.
The plugin is only designed to pickup one category per event. I couldn’t even image what to do with an event having 10 categories, and if not 10, where does one set a limit. Honestly I can’t even tell you what the plugin will do if more than one category is selected. Not doing anything would certainly be a possibility.
Same response for the icons. BTW, what site you trying to use this on?
Phillipp, really the plugin will either work or not. If it doesn’t I’d really like your help in figuring out why and to make it work. Remember, the idea behind it is that you don’t need to replicate the content of /the-events-calendar/resources/events.css in your overrides events.css file. I have it working for me on a couple of sites but I’m not using Community Events and I’d love to know if it’s working there as well.
If it doesn’t work for you all you really have to do is deactivate the plugin and add the following to the top of your events.css file.
@import url(‘http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/resources/events.css’);
And it should all work again. Let me know if you have any issues.
