2 out of three in baseball is great, but…(LOL)

– I am now able to set display and save (Month, list, day)
– The number of days shown as set in display settings is now working. But I don’t know if that was because of 3.5 or an improvement from 3.5.1 as what was happening was even though default display was 5 events it was only showing the last two events in March and not showing the next three in April.

Unfortunately using the calendar widget in any sidebar produces a spinning ball and inability to select a category.

[Bill]

That’s actually really good news.

[Bill]

Huh. So it seems then having “above calendar html” with a link to POST YOUR EVENTS is only alternative?

[Bill]

AHA

you have to enter your eventbrite API user key to identify yourself as registered member.

No such selection exists in the events list widget on the free version. I can’t afford the performance hit of Pro for such a simple thing.

[Bill]

It still begs the question as to best way to optimize for TEC in W3TC. What js files can be specifically targetd for cacheing, etc to help optimize page load. Any pointers?

I’m missing the answer. What I thought he meant was seeing the microdata in page source. for instance I see the following for
http://halfwaytoconcord.com/event/national-end-the-fed-day/2013-11-22/
EVENTS
Independent news and opinion for Contra Costa CountyHome | National End The Fed Day<img class="tribe-events-spinner-medium" src="http://h2c.worldview.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/plugins/the-events

Wouldn't it be better if there was away to have default itemtype be

itemtype="http://schema.org/Event&quot;
instead of
itemtype="http://schema.org/CreativeWork&quot;

as well as map startdate, venue,location, description from the TECpro fields to appropriate a template for itemtypse and itemprops provided by schema?

[Bill]

The custom.php at https://gist.github.com/2305130 seems to work. thanks to all community members for helping to troubleshoot and get around the issue, thanks. bar

From Thesis support forum

I’m having a really hard time viewing the source code of the Events page due to the use of CloudFlare — it’s overwriting much of the default code, making it difficult to read well. 🙁

Looking at the About page (http://www.halfwaytoconcord.com/about/), the No Sidebars template is apparently working with no issues — so that eliminates an issue specifically with Thesis, that Page Template, and/or WordPress Pages in general.

So, that leaves the plugin. From testing the basic version of the plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-events-calendar/), it looks like “events” is the default slug reserved by the plugin for its own use — meaning, the plugin intends to control what displays at that URL.

But, it appears to me that you’ve created a separate Page named Calendar in WordPress, and assigned it the same slug the plugin uses — but since that slug “belongs” to the plugin, it’s still going to exert its own influence over the display of anything at that URL.

Apparently, that control also means overriding certain Thesis “templating” features, such as the No Sidebars template and the thesis_show_sidebars (http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/filters/thesis_show_sidebars/) filter.

The plugin even overrides the default Thesis body classes: if you look at the body tag of the Calendars page, it’s missing the class of “calendar”, which Thesis would normally have added to it; instead, the plugin is intercepting and adding its own class, based on the first event shown on the page:

Theree has been some discussion about export to iCal. My question is if there is a way to import an iCal Calendar like the 2012 Steeler schedule that I imported to my own iCal. That way I can just add ical feed from various non-profits as they are posted.
