Okay…so apparently my original ticket DID post to support. But a big red box appeared over my form my stating you couldn’t post the ticket because it was a repeat of something I had already posted about. So I guess disregard this ticket. However, you can see how it causes a lot of confusion.
I may discover why overall, this won’t work. But for now I want to exclude the events tags from appearing in the Tag Cloud. So I used this code in my functions file. It is not ideal because I’ll have to remember to manually add tag IDs to this code whenever a new one is created. But for now, its working.
// Hide Events Tag in Blog Tag Cloud function exclude_tag_cloud_widget($args) { $args['exclude'] = array(31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40); return $args; } add_filter( 'widget_tag_cloud_args', 'exclude_tag_cloud_widget' );Okay…so if I’m understanding you correctly, there isn’t currently a way to limit the number of posts that appear below the mini calendar. That’s too bad. It’s either “all on” or “all off.” Not sure what I’ll do but hopefully ya’ll will get that functionality working as I think its an important feature. The whole point of a mini calendar is to put it in a small space and not take up too much room. Many events on one day causes all kinds of problems.
As for the ugly date box style, I CSSed the hell out of it. I would like to suggest you add a second list style in the pro version. It doesn’t need a toggle. Just give us a “simple list style” and a “regular list style.” That way, we can choose which one we want via the shortcode.
I’m leaving this be for now. I like your plugin. But it takes a LOT of tweaking, overriding and finagling to get it to work the way I need it to. I’ve spent a lot of time and need to just say “enough” for now. Since this isn’t an easy fix I’m just going to mark this one “not resolved” but it on the back burner for now. You can close this thread.
Thanks…I just went ahead and deleted the events in question, emptied my trashcan and started over. Trying to find and delete 100s and 100s of posts would be too much trouble. I’ve got the backend down to a somewhat manageable size now (from 1200+ to just over 400). But thanks for you help.
I think there is some confusion here.
At this time, we unfortunately do not have support for multiple venues for the same event—whether the event is a recurring event or not. 🙁
This wasn’t really what I need/needed. My concern was that “recurring” events looked confusing when displayed with events that I was manually “repeating.” I’m fine with having to input the same course over and over at two different venues during the year. But they look confusing when displayed on the calendar as what should be (for example) two courses that take place over 3 days each…appear 6 times on the calendar. Multiply that by a few courses that do this several times a year, and it gets very muddled and confusing. That is what my second post was about.
Support is a rolling stone and gathers no moss. Of course while I waited for a reply here, I continued to tinker and try to figure out how to make the plugin work for my needs. I found solutions to some of my problems mentioned in this thread and fixed them. But ultimately I found a bigger issue I can’t fix, and I can’t live with.
I appreciate your response to my second comment related to this topic. In the end (based on another support question I had) I’m unable to use your calendar because of it’s lack of advanced filtering. I don’t need to get into this in this thread because I’ve already explained my issues elsewhere. But in the end, “yes,” the lack of filtering is a deal-breaker. I could have probably lived with the issues I mentioned in this thread. But I can’t use the calendar without an ability to filter events in a more drilled down fashion. But thanks for your help.
Okay…that’s too bad. I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask for a refund because this is a deal breaker. Your calendar is far superior to others in terms of its design and responsiveness. But ultimately function over design is going to have win here as I need the ability to input my courses ONCE and be able to filter the data and display the events/courses in multiple ways and in multiple places.
Okay…thankfully I see in the admin area where I can turn off the repeated view of the same event. However, the list view is still confusing and I’m hoping I can tweak it with two changes to template files. However, I need help figuring out which template file to edit and if one of these changes is even possible.
The first one seems simple; I need to insert a bit of text that reads, “Class Starts:” in front of the date. You can see the attached image for what I’m talking about. This one would be easy because it wouldn’t matter if it’s a 1, 2 or 3-day class.
It’s the second addition that might be tricky, and I’m not certain if it’s possible. I’d like to replace “Recurring Event” with “3-Day Course”, “2-Day Course” or “1-Day Course,” depending on what type of course it is. “Recurring Event” is confusing and again I think someone might think the same course offered later in the month might be related to this instance of the course.
I’m just trying to make things as clear as possible. Can I do this? And if so, which template file(s) do I need to create in order to make these changes.
Thanks.
