Dear Geoff
Thanks for the update

If the team is tweaking that extension to ensure only one event of a recurring season appears in the blog feed.

Then it would also be nice to be able to have a couple of check box that allow the option to publish an event in the main blog feed on the publish date and on the event date.
Eg for concerts they are announced a long time in advance and tickets go on sale – so you want to publish the event details then so people can buy tickets and then republish just before the event to remind them it’s happening.
Also nice to publish a fixed date prior to an event (eg 1-7 days befoe the event date) to serve as a reminder to readers.

This would save on double entry/posting or having to manually go in change something.

Got that working now thanks Tony

Geoff – maybe add a note in the release description that times can be manual input.

But still feel the new format is less intuitive than the old one, requires more mouse work – and anectdotadly seems much more server cpu intensive, but that’s a topic for a different thread.

Dear Andras

Adding duration to the extra shows.

Such a simple thing, I tried all sorts of different ways to enter the data to try to get the other events to appear. Wasted hours on it.

Yes that work around seems to function on the various events I tried and it’s an easy one for my staff to understand.

We currently use this bit of code (taken from your website) to make the end times disappear – hence why we stopped inputting event durations. The full functions file was attached earlier.

You can make your reply public so that others can see how to solve what was for me a very frustrating problem. Doubly so as event organisers would look for their event and not see it fully listed and ask why should we advertise if you can’t list it correctly.

Thanks for the work around, one less frustration to worry about.

Cheers

Think this would be a great feature.
would add value and encourage readers of a calendar/website to register
tick box or button on an event
same view options as currently available for personal calander
but also personal events highlighted on the regular calendar views

Hi George

Sorry for the slow reply, but busy recently
Have tried that, sometimes it’s ok and sometimes not.

Entered a couple of big repeating multiple show a day events – all events show fine
Then today again it doesnt show second event…

really can’t work out why – tried test entering so many different event combos to see if there was ryhme or reason to it
the only recurring similarity is that it always affect events by hk ballet. it affects others as well but always hk ballet

regards

Simon

Hi George

Thank you for the reply.

Given the recurring entry options available, i would expect two performances on the same day to work.

So I can’t see why it works for some events and not others – even in the same data entry session some recurring events work and some don’t.

The ‘zero’ time is created by an add-on bit of code taken from your site and used in the child theme functions.php. I use it because for many events I only have a start time not a finish time. I haven’t noticed it affecting entry displays.
In the past some of your code snippets have needed updating or become invalid due to the changes made in an update – but my coding knowing isn’t good enough to check. i only find out via error messages. But since multiple events show in some cases and not others. I don’t think it’s an event duration problem.

There doesn’t seem to be a standard reason/pattern why some show and some dont – at least not that I can detect

I can live with onlyone showing in the month view – it’s that all the events don’t appear in show all that is most frustrating. That’s where advertisers, event organisers and readers look to see more info about a show they are interested in.

Hi George

The frustration is that they now sometimes display and other times don’t

The Nutcracker entry (screenshot above) doesn’t display http://www.bcmagazine.net/bc/event/the-nutcracker-2016/2016-12-25/,

but Thriller does – screenshots attached http://www.bcmagazine.net/bc/event/thriller-live-macau-2016/2016-11-13/

There are no apparent conflicts when entering events on the same day or publishing them.

Yet Nutcracker entry only displays single day entry – screenshot

While Thriller displays multiple entries – screenshot

I don’t see any difference in how i have entered the event.

If no multiple day performances worked properly then fine. But as my experience and screen shots shows obviously it does work – but with no rhyme or reason that i can see as to which entry will or won’t work/display properly.

Which irritates advertisers and event organisers and affects my revenue and also reputation with readers. Not to mention frustration in the office and wasted time spent trying to why the non-displaying one doesnt work.

Regards

Simon

Hi George
No effect on this, that i can tell, from removing the custom code
Still doesnt display both events

My custom code snippets in my child theme was attached in the earlier link

Regards

Hi George

Yes as you can see in these examples the Nutcracker has performances at 2:30pm and 7:30pm on Sat and Sun – but only the 2:30pm shows in the “day view”, “month view” and “see all views”. This never used to occur, all the performances would list in “see all” and “single day view”. (note I added a code snippet in childe them function.php, attached earlier, to prevent 2 performances showing in month view.

I have always added these second shows in the same days as part of a single recurring event series and not had any problems before.

Dear Nico

Thank you for the continued follow-up.

I changed the settings to local (in events/settings/general) as you suggested and a lot more events appeared in the month view – can’t say if it’s all as have too many to check individually. But Peel Street, Jay Chou and many others did, so that’s a relief – perfectly timed to as I have a meeting with Peel Street today.

One caveat about the ‘workaround’, that’s not a setting I change (it’s a set and forget). So why did some events appear in month view, even newly entered ones, with that setting at sitewide and some didn’t? That, thankfully is something I’ll leave your coding guys to try to understand

I’m a bit snowed this week, but will check the csv import order as soon as I can.

Have left the status as still need assistance as the bug still exists.

Maybe you could post a public reply on this thread with the workaround so anyone else suffering from the problem can try it and see if it works for them.

Thank you for the licence extension and the workaround.

Hope you have a nice week

Simon

Dear Hunter,

Thank you for the progress update.

Good to know that the two bugs are separate.

Any news on when the exclusion bug will be fixed? or is to related to the timezone bug?
