Hi, you misunderstand the issue.
My calendar has 107 repeat events throughout the week. They go on forever, every day, every week, every year.
I have the settings to “Clean up recurring events after” 1 month and “Create recurring events in advance for” 3 months, The 10,000 comes from 107 events x 52 weeks (x 2 websites).
For EACH event, when I go into EDIT, there is a list of dates for which the event does NOT take place (“Event will not occur”). See the attached screenshot.
There are over 40 “Event will not occur” dates on this event alone.
Until a recent update to the plugin, there was no way to delete these. Until a previous update of that, you never saw them (unless they were user created (these are not so I have no idea where they are coming from).
I can not delete all these manually, not do I want to start messing with the database.107 events x 52 weeks x 2 websites x 40+ ‘event does not take place’ adds up to almost 490,000 records.
My site is timing out when I try to edit events.
I hope this is clearer.
Many thanks,
Cp.s. I have two websites (soon to be three) with this amount of events. So that’s at least 10,000 old events.
Oh I’ve spent quite a few years in software design, user testing, product marketing etc (of course this doesn’t qualify me to comment on your code, but I hope you value my opinion, and that’s all it is). And I understand completely not wanting to bloat your code. Surely, if you don’t add anything to the UI, then there is no bloat, just a change (OK perhaps just a little extra).
In regard to putting something in the UI:
Where you put it and what it looks like obviously needs consideration, I accept that. But that shouldn’t be difficult to work out really. Of course the biggest question would be the options available and I realise if it were presented as a “quick fix” this may lead to more support issues from people asking for more options. But a simple dialog box which represented weeks would I’m sure resolve the issue Jennifer and I have raised. If you want years, then x weeks by 52 etc.
Now let’s say a time-frame of twelve months is chosen. For a given event, 10 results are found as “related”, but only 5 are within 12 months. These 5 are only sort-of related, but as it happens the 5 events beyond the 12 month time-frame are far, far more “related” to the current event.
I’m not sure I follow this scenario. I have not seen the option to specify how related one event is to another. It is either related or not is it not? But yes, given your scenario just show the next x number of events in the following x number of weeks.
I’m only trying to put my case forward George and I know you guys take notice and listen and your feedback and support is fantastic. I received notice about the last release and how one of the issues I had raised (along with others I am sure) had been fixed / implemented in that release. Hence I know it is worth raising the issue with you. If I put it across wrong, harshly etc then please accept my sincere apologies 🙂
In addition to all the above, I think I neglected to point out the obvious. In my calendar I have repeat events – lots of different repeat events. So when looking at one event the “related” events that show are of events 18 months in the future. Yet there is the exact same event taking place next week (or even later in the current week) – this is why it looks confusing to the end user.
H 🙂
Hope you don’t mind, but I would be interested in following this topic. I too have Enfold and Events Calendar Pro. I have a few issues with the Enfold integration.
* Josh, just a quick note. If you look at the Event Venue for this event (or any other repeat event). You will see the event listed with a (see all) link on it. I can’t click this because the Repeat description hover text is in the way – I presume this is a theme problem?
Hi @Josh
That seems to have resolved the issue (though I didn’t see the progress bar when saving, but all events seem to be there)
However, using this date format is completely alien for the UK 🙂
Hope you can resolve the issue soon so we are not getting events posted mid December instead of mid October etc.
Look forward to an update.
*Most of my display settings as you see are long format so hopefully the display of the events is OK. Not sure how this affects community event submission.
Hi George, I can confirm the above HAS worked yes. The end user does NOT see repeat events in the Picture View (my default view) – so from that end, I am happy with this.
However … How do I show this to Kriesi support ?
Hey Josh,
The WP Data setting is here: https://cloudup.com/c_vDTmPe3Sh
and the Event Settings here: https://cloudup.com/cjq6P1eoP6U
I hope this helps.
There are a few other weird things going on. Such as a community event is submitted and when I view it as Admin it is showing as a repeat event – though it only lasts from 2pm – 5pm on one day. Turning that off takes a few goes. … However, the above of course is most important.
Hi George,
Thanks for the reply. My explanation was not very good. The cost field was still showing and it does seem a bit random as to when it disappears, but it does so at some point of editing through Admin.
Of course the main issue is the Repeat Event showing all of the events in the Picture view, which is what I meant by “All in the picture view”.What information do I need to provide to the theme developer? Kriesi – Enfold
(I have ticked the “Show only the first instance of each recurring event (only affects list-style views)” option to not show recurring events) for now.
Hi,
Can you take a look at this event: http://recoveryplaces.org/event/since-right-now-addiction-recovery-podcast-recording/2015-08-05/
It shows a $0.00 cost but more importantly it shows ALL in the picture view and I can not untick the “Show only the first upcoming instance of recurring events” box.
Thanks,
Hey Barry,
Yes that was the problem. Thanks, I thought it just referred to the two options below.
User Error !C.
wow. I may have solved the issue (or workaround?)
By default, my test user was made a WP Subscriber. So as Admin of the site, I made them Editor. Edited the event Author and was able to select my test user. Back to test user ‘Users’ settings in admin and changed their WP Role back to Subscriber. Phew :/
That was long winded !
I am so confused now.
If I untick Subscriber (with Block access to WordPress dashboard) ticked. The “End user” (a subscriber) interface seems ok. i.e. all the logged in user can do is use the View Calendar, Community: Submit Event and Community: My Events options.
Even though they see the Add Event and Edit Events on the Events menu too. Hitting those uses the Redirect URL.However if I untick the Subscriber “Roles to block” option: My subscriber user can also use the Add Event and Edit event menu options. They also see the Events menu on the Dashboard ! (even though Block access is ticked)
On the dashboard Events menu, they also see Venues and Organisers and can add those also.
They also see the WordPress 4.2.3 is available message though it does say, Please notify the site administrator
They can also edit their profile and change their password
They also see the +New menu with Event and LayerSlider options (the new event works), the layerslider says no permissions
(I think this is an unrelated bug, but I have an event that with the Subscriber role blocked – there are no upcoming events in the queue to edit [using the Community: My Events option]. But if unblocked – I do see an event which can be edited BUT only using the Edit Events menu)See how I am getting confused?
Either way, I still can’t change the Author of an event that Admin has created 🙁
Hi again Brian,
Just as I thought. I think I know the problem. In my The Events Calendar Settings | Community I had ALL “Roles to block” ticked.I presume this is why I do not see other users in the Author dropdown?
So my next question of course is how does this Roles to Block work, what should I have ticked, unticked?
Sorry for the noob question, I have never used Roles before on any website.
