This site has been set up to provide better support for the Events Calendar plugin for Wordpress. The plugin has become very popular and there are major changes coming thanks to Heirem. I am moving support to this site so that there is a centralized location to post questions and comments.
I have also installed a forum here. It is ran using Simple Press, the bulletin software from the creator of Wordpress. The forum will be open to anyone and everyone that is available to answer questions. If you are well versed in Events Calendar your input is welcomed. The only thing we ask is that you don’t answer questions unless you know the correct answer. This will keep from causing problems later.
Thanks to everyone, and hope you enjoy the site.

Great plugin.
As seen on this page, http://www.gethopemorrisville.net/events/
I can’t find the Days of the Week bg color. Can you help me out? Need some guidance on where to find that color. Thanks.

Luke,
I just came across this plugin and I’m already hoping its as good as it appears to be (just finished dl’d it).
Regarding Felix’s questions, I think he’s asking that when you select a date and the window pops up, can you display a link within that window? To answer his question, I would assume it would show everything you enter on the admin side, so if you add a link, it would be functional in the window.
Anyways hopefully this does everything I need. Thanks for your hard work!

Great plugin. A quick question about the new upgrade…is there something in the new upgarde that will allow for re-occuring events?
Thanks

Hi there,
nice calendar.
Is it possible to add User-Email-Adresses and to autoinform them, if there is a new event?
That would be great!

Hey great plugin! Quick question (I also posted this at the WP forum: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/245394 )
Posting to a specific category?
I found an old thread on this but they didn’t really solve this problem, just created a workaround that I don’t like. There has to be a way to tell Event Calendar to set all the posts it creates to a crtain category (i.e. an Event category or something like that).
I was looking around in the Event Calendar files and found places where it sets its variable for posting. I even found one that was for category, but I wasn’t able to make it do what I wanted. Any ideas? Like can you just tell it to $Category_ID = ‘12′ or something like that?
Thanks!

Just found this plug in, It is just what i was looking for. Great Job.
One Quirk, i would like to mention. When scheduling an event over more than a day period and the end time happens to be earlier than when the event started, even though it is a later date, an error pops up telling me the ending time is sooner than the starting time.
Thanks for you great work. When I start making some dough, I will make sure some heads your way for the great work.

Hi all
Thanks for this great plugin….
Question…
I have the plugin creating new posts for each event, all working well.
I list these posts in the blog using the following code:
—————————————————
1.
4.
6.
7.
8. <a href=”" rel=”bookmark” title=”Link to ” class=”title”>
9.
10.
—————————————
This works well
I want to add the start date from the database table eventscalendar_main into line 8 and then sort by this field.
Basically line 8 should look like this:
<a href=”" rel=”bookmark” title=”Link to ” class=”title”>(event start date for this post eg 1/3/2009} –
and line 4 should include the sorting criteria.
The section between the () above should be something like as follows I think:
(query(“SELECT eventStartDate FROM $wpdb->eventscalendar_main WHERE postID = $wpdb->posts.post_parent”);
echo $ah_eventdate
?>)
so the final output looks like:
——————————–
Category Name
(01/12/2009) – Event1
(02/12/2009) – Event2
(03/12/2009) – Event3
(04/12/2009) – Event4
——————————–
This is as far as I have got and am not sure how to put it all together.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s a question/request for a future feature:
February 25, 2009, 9:46 amCan we create a recurring event, like “every Monday from some date to some date” or something like that?
Luke says:
The current version that is in the works has options for recurring events. Heirem has been doing major work on that and it is looking very promising.

Hey all,
I love the plugin – thanks! I’m also excited for Heirem’s new version. Looks exciting.
I’m trying to change the font on the event text on the large calendar. I’ve been able to change the size using the css, but for the life of me can’t seem to change the font. Right now, the font’s being inherited from the css for my site. Any way to do this?

Any help appreciated!

Hi Luke,
my name is Fabio and I’m using your amazing plugin.
But I’ve a problem with the italian format of the date: here we use d/m/y (php ‘j/n/Y’), but when I look at the generated post I see yyyy-mm-dd. Watching the sources I understand that is really compicated use the format of the big calendar in the field near the calendar and in the post because jQuery doesn’t use the same formatting symbols of php. I tryed to do a convertion table, but it is impossible because jQuery has less ones then php.
Parhaps the solution could be substitute the text field with a select field with some fixed formats. In this case you can code the format of php and jQuery, but it seem quite complicated.
If you keep the format aaaa-mm-dd in the jQuery fields (only the admin can see it) a quick turnaround could be convert this date when the post is write. I did something like this:
ec_management.class.php
function display() {
global $wpdb;
// — fabio – get the format —————————————–
$options = get_option(‘optionsEventsCalendar’);
$format = $options['dateFormatLarge'];
// ——————————————————————-
$js = new EC_ManagementJS();
……..
……..
if(!empty($description) && !is_null($description))
$output .= ““._c(‘Description’,'events-calendar’).”: $description”;
if($startDate != $endDate )
// — fabio – format before write ————————————
// $output .= ““._c(‘Start Date’,'events-calendar’).”: $startDate”;
$output .= ““._c(‘Start Date’,'events-calendar’).”: “.date($options['dateFormatLarge'], strtotime($startDate)).”";
// ——————————————————————-
if(!empty($startTime) || !is_null($startTime))
$output .= ““._c(‘Start Time’,'events-calendar’).”: $startTime”;
if($startDate != $endDate)
// — fabio – format before write ————————————
// $output .= ““._c(‘End Date’,'events-calendar’).”: $endDate”;
$output .= ““._c(‘End Date’,'events-calendar’).”: “.date($options['dateFormatLarge'], strtotime($endDate)).”";
// ——————————————————————-
if($startDate == $endDate)
// — fabio – format before write ————————————
// $output .= ““._c(‘Date’,'events-calendar’).”: $startDate”;
$output .= ““._c(‘Date’,'events-calendar’).”: “.date($options['dateFormatLarge'], strtotime($startDate)).”";
// ——————————————————————-
if(!empty($endTime) && !empty($startTime) || !is_null($endTime) && !is_null($startTime))
$output .= ““._c(‘End Time’,'events-calendar’).”: $endTime”;
$post_id = null;
…..
…..
Is this could be interesting?
Thank you very much.

I’m having some trouble.
For no reason at all my calendar has lost all it’s events.
They were there this morning, then they stopped.
I’ve still got the MySQL table with all the info in it, no problems. But I’m really confused as to why it won’t a) add new events (they don’t add to the calendar but they do add to the MySQL table) b) see the events that are on the calendar’s mySQL table.
help??
I’ve tried the following,
Unistall, reinstall the plugin.
Deactivate, reactivate the plugin.
Uninstall and rollback a plugin I updated today.
All with no change.

Hi , maybe I found a bug in the 6.5.2.1 version of events calendar. I have WP 2.7.1 on linux server. When clicking on an event’s date to get more information about it, the name of the day shown is wrong, more precisely is the day before. For example if i click on today 21st maj 2009 I get “Wednesday 21st maj 2009″ instead of Thursday, as title of the popup window. I roughly fix the bug by modifing line 89 of ec_js.class.php , adding +1 at $d variable:
$date_show .= ucfirst($wp_locale->get_weekday(gmdate(‘w’, mktime(0,0,0,$m,$d+1,$y)))) . ‘ ‘ . $d . ‘ ‘;
Don’t know if it is a real bug or depends on my configuration

Hi,
Have a look on my website.
I used multilanguage in my website. So, when i click any one of language the calander width is increased, that is the setting not applied for other language.
I used 3 letter to show the day name. It just applied for default language, not for other language.
And one more request is it possible to access the calender from front end as a guest.
ie without registration then need to place the event. that date is not accessed by other.
i am waiting for ur valuable reply.
Thanks and regards

I’ve found that the Beta version of Events Calendar, when activated, deactivates drag and drop of widgets in Wordpress 2.8.4. Once I deactivate the plugin, then it’s no problem. I deactivated all widgets to see which one was causing the problem and Events Calendar was the only one.

I am an Australian user of the pluggin.
I am wondering if there is a way to edit the timezone info the plugin uses to determine ‘todays date’.
The plugin is a date out on my site. When it is the 2nd, it displays as the 1st, for example.
Any ideas?

Hi Luke,
as Mark said above, there seems to be a problem with the timezone. As Mark is in Tasmania and me in Australia, the today’s date does not show up properly. The dates switches exactly at 11am Sydney time which is exactly GST +11 – that means the todays date is based on GST Greenwich time.
Is there a simple way to add that +11 somewhere without to stir up the whole js code?
