Date & time display should be controlled under Settings –> General, using whatever date/time settings you’ve configured for your broader WP install.
Hey Vincent. Where are you seeing this? Does it appear immediately upon activation, or is it on a specific page?
Not yet – no guarantees, but we’re testing against it for 2.1, and hopefully we’ll get some smooth integration in place for that release.
Hey Sean. Thanks for the note here; we’re adding the ability to incorporate custom fields with your venues & organizers for 2.1 but unfortunately the functionality isn’t there yet. We’ve had a lot of requests for it since launching 2.0 though, so we’re building that out as needed.
Other users may have found a way to hack this together in the short term, but it’s pretty complex. If you could find a way to use the regular custom field functionality it’d definitely be the best way at this point. I will also note, that if you create a new translation file in which you change the word “Venue” to something else, you could use that as a short-term solution to get rid of that term.
This isn’t currently doable out of the box; you could probably hack something together or use a custom role manager to do this, but it unfortunately isn’t a default option. We are adding a default role when registering our custom post types for 2.1, which should help this integrate smoother with any role manager you may be running.
Sorry I couldn’t offer up more on this.
Karen: the font size issue should be controllable in events.css; make sure you do a proper template override of that file (detailed in the first “Customization” question at our FAQ: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/faqs/) if you do indeed modify it, so your changes are kept when you update to the next release.
However, I will note that in the screenshot you sent…the font size was looking good and appeared consistent with the rest of your site. Probably wouldn’t be visually appealing to change it but I’ll leave that in your hands.
Ben: were these events that you’d imported from a pre-2.0 release? If so, that was a bug with the earlier releases that carried over with data migrated to the new one. It shouldn’t be an issue with any new events created in your 2.0 build…if it has been or does, let me know and I can keep looking into this for you.
Bill: it’s a conditional template tag. Will allow for more flexibility outputting category data if you’re using template tags.
Myriam: We do have something along the lines of your “Print” suggestion in the works. No guarantees it’ll make it to 2.1 but it is on the radar. Filtering events per category has been requested a lot so that probably will be fit into 2.1; either way, it’s certainly on the list. Assigning CSS to a category dynamically is a good idea but would probably be somewhat complex to implement & make foolproof on the frontend. Since we have the hardcode option I think that’s what we’ll stick with for the time being. Depends how many people request something like this.
Andy: when I tested this on my Mac a minute ago, it worked: http://cl.ly/3P2q142t1k3Q0G1q1i1F. The alarm option was available for imported events just as it was locally created ones. Or have I misunderstood the request here?
Bill: We have been kicking something like that around the idea bin; we decided to first focus on a CSV importer, which we’ve finished and are currently beta testing. Importing from something like iCal may be added down the road but it’s a significantly greater effort so won’t be anytime in the immediate future.
Here’s a solution that one user emailed to us, and said worked for her. Would be interested in hearing whether this was a viable solution for you too. In the-events-calendar.class.php under the section “// events slug happiness”, found on line 880 she commented out the following….
$slug = sanitize_title_with_dashes($slug);
$slug = str_replace(‘/’,’ ‘,$slug);This seemed to work for her. Lee, would you be willing to give this a shot and let me know if it’s a success?
Thanks for confirming, Stefan. Can you link me to that forum post, or is it for users only? I’d like to tell that dev that I’d be happy to give him a copy of this plugin to test against if it’d help…
Thanks for confirming, Kevin. I”m not sure what’s up here – but let me get our developer Jonah to chime in with his thoughts. Expect to hear from him over the next 24 hours.
Hey Julien. That’s actually how the plugin currently operates; if a multi-day event occurs, it stays in the widget for its entire life cycle (showing the start date alongside it). That may change in a future release but it’s unfortunately what we’re working with right now. I will say that you could probably hack something together along the lines of what you’re going for, if you’ve got the dev skills. Sorry I couldn’t offer up more here.
