Yeah email it across: if you could mark the subject for my attention (please email us at [email protected]) and also add the URL of this thread somewhere in there that would be great.
Sure, but if you take the Twenty Twelve page.php template as an example – specifically, the content-page.php template that it is used within page.php – you can see that it makes a call to post_class().
Part of what I am suggesting is that in a theme other than Twenty Twelve that could either be called more than once (prior to the events template being rendered) or not at all.
If it was more than once then the event category classes will still “leak” outside of the events template; if it is not at all then the first event in the calendar may not have it’s category CSS class applied.
In reality that may not be a problem for many people/anyone, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware that for my part (and obviously you’re free to use and adapt it as you like) I intended this as a very specific fix – it’s basically a throw-away function – that won’t always be useful in all circumstances, even if we limit those to circumstances where the default page template is going to be used.
Do you know if the templates contained in The Events Calendar (in the plugin directory itself) have been modified?
Can I just clarify something (in case I’m misunderstanding):
http://chicabrava.thrivenetmarketing.com/calendar/?r=reservation
At the above URL, the calendar is being rendered via the Events List Advanced Widget – is that correct?
It does look slightly unusual. Are you using template overrides (do you have a directory named events within your theme’s directory)? If so, can you temporarily rename that directory to disable_events so that the default views are used instead?
Peter – if I visit http://tynesideirish.com/new/events/upcoming/ it doesn’t look like the sort of output I would expect from The Events Calendar, at all. Have you replaced it with some static content?
Regarding the calendar tooltips, I’d recommend running through the usual steps of deactivating all other plugins and switching to a default theme, seeing if that resolves the problem then reactivating everything one-at-a-time until you find the conflict (if there is one).
I can definitely see errors, one relates to some Javascript in your header which looks like it is intended to interact with Twitter. Another relates to the Superfish (dropdown) menus – but that could simply be a knock on effect from the first error.
Let me know how you get on 🙂
If you have a suitable version of Internet Explorer (9 or 10) can you open the developer (Javascript) console, try to replicate the problem and report back with any errors that the system records in the console?
That would be really helpful 🙂
Andy: after some discussion with the team I’m going to log this as a bug after all, but this may be a moot point as views/templates are going change quite significantly for the 3.0 release.
I’ll add it to the Category Colors plugin as this seems to elicit this behavior.
Just bear in mind that this happens in your test case where the default page template is used and Twenty Twelve is used (doubtless with other themes) – in other scenarios, where the theme’s page template doesn’t call the post_class() function, or where it is used in other places, this approach wouldn’t be successful and could cause problems.
In other words, it’s a suitable fix for anyone experiencing the problem but probably isn’t appropriate for application in every case.
Hmm, not sure I agree 100% that it is a bug but I can definitely see what you’re referring to and will discuss with the team to see if we can get a permanent fix in place (if that’s appropriate).
In the meantime it may be possible to workaround this by adding some code to your theme’s functions.php file.
Hi Herb: you can use our plugins even if the license key has not been entered, it won’t affect functionality.
That said, it is certainly useful if you want to receive updates etc so please email us at [email protected], marking your email for Leah’s attention and if possible attach/forward your PayPal receipt, too. Leah or another team member will be happy to help 🙂
Thanks!
Theoretically, except that archives are not enabled for the organizer post type. If you change that facet then it should work.
OK, so for getting the organizer from a slug you are going to have to go your own way on that one, it’s not something that we have a convenient function for. I knocked together this function and it shows one approach, but you might need to refine it a little.
There are no official means of doing this (as you’ll have noted from reading that other thread) – so this sort of feature would need to be a custom build.
If you or anyone else out there has already done this – or if you go ahead and do it – and feel like sharing some code and ideas with the community, feel free to post here or in a new thread and everyone can benefit 🙂
I don’t think this is something we would be implementing in the core plugin any time soon, however, but I’ll log it as a feature request as you are not the only person to ask about it.
