Thanks, Barry. I lack that PHP know-how you’re referring to, so I’ll just deal with unchecking the end date/time for now.

1. I see that this has been suggested before, but +1 that it would be nice not to have to enter an end time or to have an “until” option.
2. For recurring events – it would be great to have an “until changed” setting for the number of recurrences. Most of the recurring events I have will go on for the foreseeable future, so I have to just throw something in there like “50” monthly recurrences. (in about 4 years I’m going to wonder why all my recurring events have suddenly disappeared)
3. It would be nice to set the default events display so from earlier to later start date (I’m referring to the admin->events->events screen).
4. on the settings page, it would be nice to set defaults for ALL fields. I know, for example, that I want maps included *every* time, and I almost NEVER have a morning event, but I do forget to change that AM dropdown half the time.

Thanks!

Jonah, I hope I didn’t make you pull any extra hairs out – the 2nd function above is working for me now. I am (and was) using 1.8.3, so I must have just made a mistake copying previously. I think I might have missed the last curly bracket in above the add_filter line (I almost missed it this time).

Thanks – calendar looks great now!

@Ross, tried that code and got a completely blank site. I’m not a coder (paint-by-numbers), but that does seem to be the right logic. I only want to remove sidebars from the calendar grid page. Ideally, I’d like to keep them on the single events, etc pages. So it would seem logical to have the else part of the function return true. I tried more or less the same function myself using is_page to specify the page by slug and then again by name. There’s no way to specify by ID, right? since the page is generated on the fly. I guess that probably wouldn’t make a difference, anyway.

that made my entire site go blank. Like staring into the abyss. Well, a white abyss, anyway.

Hmmm. This knocked out my sidebars on on other pages (home, about). Any ideas how to fix that?

Also, had to set the page template (in admin->settings->the events calendar) to something other than “default events template” otherwise the calendar page displayed without loading the rest of the theme (if that makes sense) – just a bare text header, etc. This is not really a problem for me – I just set it to “default page type” and everything works fine. Just wanted to point it out for anyone else.

Thanks for the kind words about the site, Carlos. Fingers crossed for the ECP solution!

[Nathan]

Just wanted to add my $.02. I’m using thesis 1.8.3 and ECP 2.0.4. I just purchased today and installed, unaware of Matt’s fix, so I just activated ECP and got pretty good results. The only issue I’ve had so far is that ECP ignores any changes to the Events Template dropdown. Like others, I want to use the “no sidebars” template. My calendar looks funky at the moment, but I think really only b/c it’s squeezed due to the sidebars.

Searching for a solution, I downloaded Matt’s files and uploaded and got the “double rendering” that others talked about, so I just deleted those and went back to the default install, which seems to be oh-so-close to working.

The calendar is here:

If you come up with any fix to simply remove the sidebars, I’d love to hear it.
