Alright! thanks, that worked 🙂
(I already have the files in my theme folder, they are quite heavily modified – and there is also a “private” calendar for internal events (practices++) which is only available for logged in users)

[Torstein]

Thanks Johah! 🙂

[Torstein]

Thought I’d drop in this one here now:
http://solistkoret.no – with english version at http://solistkoret.no/en/

Also using the calendar on some private pages/events on the same site, only accessible to logged-in users

[Torstein]

hmmmm… I was afraid so :/

Well, a suggestion then: add some options like including/excluding categories and such to the calendar widget, it seems like other people also have asked for things like this earlier 🙂

Thanks Jonah 🙂

Good to hear, less conflicts are always better, especially when things get as complex as they are on that particlular site 🙂

I believe I still have a backup of the database from before I switched webshop-solution, if I find it I’ll send it to you 🙂

[Torstein]

Hmmm… might this be correct?
‘meta_key’ => ‘_EventStartDate’

[Torstein]

Hey, sorry for late updates! It works – nearly. I just noticed that the ordering is wrong – that the wrong events are shown as “next/previous” some places. Most of the events were posted in the correct order, so the problem didn’t appear until an event was posted later, with an event date “inbetween” the events posted earlier.

But, it should be quite simple to solve, since the “nextprevious post link plus”-plugin Jonah linked to supports ordering by a custom field and meta_value, so the only thing that bugs me – this feels a bit dumb, but I really can’t figure the name of the date field, to use as “meta_key”?

I switched to WooCommerce instead of Marketpress, and that solved the problem 🙂 Also, WooC. updated to 1.6 while I was working, and in that update they actually changed things a bit around, which first confused me a bit, but it made things a lot simpler in the end!

So if it was Marketpress, WPML or TEC that was the problem, I really dont know, but it works now 🙂

[Torstein]

I’m working on a site that combines a concert calendar (TEC Pro, of course) with a small webshop (Marketpress from wpmudev.org) and is using WPML for multilanguage. But – I’m having some major problems with the permalinks, and after some testing, it seems TEC (pro) is the culprit.

Here is what happens: If I check the norwegian (default language) version of the webshop, it works fine, and if I check *any* english page (not just the webshop-pages), and it seems to work fine – but after that, the norwegian webshop-pages will only give 404’s. If I then resave the permalink-options (either in the standard WP panel, or in the marketpress-settings-page, everything works again. Until I have checked one of the english pages.

Sounds like a wpml or marketpress-problem, right? I thought so too, but it turns out the problem disappears if I deactivate TEC…

Here is the feedback from the lead developer on Marketpress, note the last paragraph about other unrelated plugins and permalinks:

———————————————————

If it’s still an issue, it’s definitely from the WPML side. That plugin creates different custom rewrites for each language, it sounds like they might be getting added too late so that when one of your installed plugins refreshes them, they are not yet in the queue.

This is often the fault of a completely unrelated plugin that refreshes permalinks sooner than it’s supposed to. The only way to narrow that down is to disable plugins one by one and test, or at least disable all but MP+WPML first to confirm it is another plugin. Good luck!

———————————————————-

That sounds like an exact description of my situation.

And the thing is – WPML is the only multilanguage-plugin that works well with Marketpress and Woocommerce, definately the two best ecommerce-plugins (actually, the only two I know about that are not plagued by bugs or crappy usability). And since the problem seems to originate with TEC, I suspect the same will happen with woocommerce if I switch to that one and keep TEC. So – ditching WPML or switching ecommerce-plugin is not an option, while there are some other options for event calendars (although I’d really like to keep using TEC!)

…so… could you pretty pretty please have a look at what Aaron (the marketpress-developer) said, and have a talk with the WPML-people?

PS: Think about it – this combination would be really KICK A** for lots of bands/artists: Concert/gig calendar, a small webshop to sell merchandise, and for many artists/bands/etc – multilanguage (native language + english). So – if you could make TEC be more friendly with WPML, it would probably be in your interest as well 🙂

PPS: here is the site I’m working on – http://web.solistkoret.no

Also, it would be nice to allow editing posts, at least for 15 minutes or so (maybe even longer would be better here, since it can sometimes be complicated code or similar that needs adjustments)

[Torstein]

Strange, I think I’m having the same problem, I don’t get any “update”-link under ECP in the plugins list, just an annoying message on top of the page that I need to update ECP to 2.0.8 because I updated TEC :/

However – I moved the site (and the licence) from my server/domain, to the customers testing server/domain earlier today, could that be related?

[Torstein]

Thanks Jonah! Ill try that and report back 🙂

[Torstein]

Jeff, if you’re still struggling with this, I just found the solution, have a look here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/event-calender-pro-widget/#post-21506

[Torstein]

I have been struggling with the same problem for some time, and just found the solution:

Its somewhat strange, but for some reason the “the events calendar pro”-plugin turned out to actually be 2.0.3, even though I have made sure to update, and it has not shown any updates needed. Also – its too late to check now, but I could swear it reported as 2.0.7 in the list in wp-admin -> plugins. Only found out since I uploaded the plugin to a seperate testsite, and started looking at what files were included, then I suddenly noticed that several files were missing from the resources-folder in the pro-plugin on my troublesome site, then I checked the events-calendar-pro.php and found out it actually was 2.0.3. But – if it really was 2.0.3 – should the ajax-ified widget even have turned up? Shouldnt I just have gotten the older non-ajax-version of the widget? I thought it wasnt using ajax until 2.0.7?

I had to update “manually” by removing the plugin and uploading the plugin again.

One thing I noticed that maybe could be useful – earlier the (pro) plugin-folder was called “the-events-calendar-pro”, or something like that. Now it is called “events-calendar-pro”, without “the” in front. Could the update-process have been messed up by that?

[Torstein]

I’ve tried looking at the themers guide and the documentation, but cant find anything there. Would appreciate if you could check with the higher level support people if they have any ideas 🙂
