Hi Alex! Currently the sort of tool you need is not built in to the calendar – so you’d probably need to write your own plugin to take care of this (unless you can find an existing one on Extend, GitHub etc).
This is definitely something a lot of people have requested and a future version of our plugin is likely to wrap up a number of import/export tools, however I can’t suggest a timeframe for that just yet.
Nope, not at all. If you edit an existing event or create a new one, and scroll down to where the Event Time & Date fields are, do you see some new controls labelled “Recurrence”?
Hi Matthew, indeed you can.
Just trash the event(s) you want to get rid of and you will be presented with a dialogue asking if you wish to delete only that instance or all of the recurring events – simply pick the appropriate option 🙂
Hi Benji, you’d need to do a little customization here.
If you haven’t already done so I’d recommend reading our Themer’s Guide and our tutorial on template overrides.
Once you’ve set up an events directory within your theme you can do one or all of the following:
- Change events.css and modify the rule, found around line 316, that governs the width of the definition list (that’s the list containing the name, address, description etc). You could remove the width rule completely, for instance.
- Override single-venue.php and change the inline style of the div used to contain the Google Map, or re-position it (here’s an example).
Does that help here? If there is anything that’s unclear please just let me know.
Oh I see, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I don’t believe there is a way to adjust that without working some magic at PHP level and it would require some fairly in-depth knowledge of PHP and WordPress to figure this one out: also, after chatting with one of the devs, it sounds like the particular pattern you want – a URL with Post ID – isn’t the easiest thing to achieve for custom post types.
So, I’m afraid on this occasion I don’t think there is a lot we can do to help here. Of course if you do manage to produce a solution for this it would be great to hear back from you so anyone else wanting to do this can benefit 🙂
How about a snippet like this? http://pastebin.com/5zUWqxJh
Well, I’ve no doubt it’s possible but we don’t really have the support bandwidth that would let us spend time figuring this one out. We can certainly leave this open and see if other members of the community might be able to chip in with ideas/solutions.
It would be interesting to hear further comments for sure. Would adapting Community Events and bending that to your needs offer a way forward here?
Hi Manuel, I believe that you would need to set up some filters to do this. There is an existing thread on this topic you might be interested in:
Does that help here?
Typically “dot releases” or minor releases such as 2.0.1, 2.0.2 etc are released monthly. These are maintenance releases and are used to address any bugs or to tidy up aspects of the plugin according to user feedback.
Major and version releases are not so strictly timetabled and we can’t really offer a guide for that – it does of course depend to a large extent on both customer feedback, what the competition is doing and what enhancements are appropriate without straying too far from the problem domain.
To the best of my knowledge we don’t have a public roadmap available, but you can certainly get a sense for what’s on the horizon by looking at our product posts over in the blog (and by subscribing to our newsletter).
Hi Daniel!
There are a few ways you might approach this. One is to have a conditional check in your page template that detects if the request is for a single event then loads another template in its place.
A second way would be to change the Events > Settings > Template > Events Template setting to “Default Events Template”.
You would also need to make sure that you had set up an events folder within your theme, containing at least:
- ecp-page-template.php which would be used to serve non-single event pages
- ecp-single-template.php which would be used for the layout of single events
There’s a stack of information on this stuff in our Themer’s Guide, Technical Documentation and we have helpful tutorials covering topics like template overrides (definitely worth looking at here).
The general idea would be to make ecp-page-template.php replicate the look and feel of your theme’s existing page template and the same for ecp-single-template.php, but add whatever bells and whistles you need here.
You may even find that these templates (if you copy them from the plugin’s views folder initially) do a pretty good job right out of the box at maintaining your theme’s look and feel.
I hope that helps but let me know if you need any further guidance.
Hi Denis. If you login and navigate to Events > Settings > General > Single Event URL Slug you will probably see that this is set to “event”. If you change this to “calendar” you should be good to know.
Note also the field above that, by default “events”, which is used wherever more than one event is displayed.
Hi Jason, I do believe organizer-related functionality close to what you are describing is on it’s way. We’re actually skipping the 2.1 release and going straight to 3.0 since the number of new features being introduced is considerable.
I can’t give an absolute timeline for this – we still need to run through several phases such as beta testing – but we’re hopefully looking at a release sometime before the close of 2012.
