Agenda Widget changed and does not show the events with the correct day title

Which ‘mode’ is the widget in: daily, weekly or monthly?

Thanks Stephen for the quick response.
Does not matter. Tried all ‘modes’.

I tried it in your demo service as well.

Day shows:

Wednesday, 16nd March
4:30 pm Fortnightly event

Weekly shows:

Wednesday, 16nd March
4:30 pm Fortnightly event
6:15 pm Lecture
5:30 pm Birthday party

And Monthly shows even more… But all under the same date.

Any update on this subject?

You can easily test it:

Put the Event Manager Widget on “weekly” or “monthly” view and you will see all events under one date instead of under their appropriate date.

I’m having the same problem. The agenda also used to show multiple days individually but now when I choose the option as “day” I only get one day at a time. Weekly and Monthly options group all events under one date even if they occur on different dates.

It has been over a month now and the Agenda widget simply is unusable. Labyrinth3000 shows it rely looks like a bug and multiple users are having this problem.

Please give us some feedback.

There’s no bug here, but I think a disparity between expectations and the provided functionality.

The agenda widget displays events in groups, one group at a time. With a group corresponding to events on a single ‘day’, ‘week’ or ‘month’, and they have one header as determined by the ‘group format’ option.

I think what you’re expecting is to see a week’s (or day’s, or month’s) worth of groups. That is, you would see, for example, next week’s events, grouped by day.

The ‘day’ mode did previously show multiple days and 3.0.0 changed that behaviour to make it consistent with ‘week’ and ‘month’ mode.

This feature may be iterated upon further, to allow grouping within one day/week/month but I can’t offer any guarantees at this point. Pull requests, would of course be welcome.

Stephen,

I am amazed… The disparity comes from a widget and plugin that has a certain behavior and without notice just changes to become unusable for apparently more than one user as labyrinth also shows.

I don’t see the usefulness of your described functioning. However I do see the use of a Day showing events for that day and a Week showing the events for a week and a Month showing the events for a month.

Your plugin shines in usability and easy of use so I would very, very much like to ask you to reconsider.

Thank you.

Stephen please…

What on earth can be the use of a widget showing a month of events all listed without date???

The way it used to work made your widget brilliant and very useful.

Again it showed in daymode:

Wednesday, 16nd March
4:30 pm Fortnightly event

and Weekly showed:

Wednesday, 16nd March
4:30 pm Fortnightly event

Thursday, 17nd March
6:15 pm Lecture

Friday, 18nd March
5:30 pm Birthday party

Wow! That looks organized and really neat… Your plugin was great!

How can you make a plugin that shines in usability and not see the incredible usefulness of this functionality?

I’m just a guy that runs a Tennisclub website showing the events so I have no clue what a “pull request” is. We just used to have a handy event list which all of a sudden stopped working like it did. But I’m not giving up on it and hope to pursued you to please change it back.

My company had to switch to the Timely calendar plugin since there has been no fix to this issue.

We went to Event List from Michael Burtscher, works great!

Hi Stephen,

My site too was dependent on this feature, and now my events agenda doesn’t look as neat as it used to be. Could you please at least provide a pointer to some widget code so I could manually create this myself in php, like it did when creating a custom event listing on my agenda page?

Your plugin is very neat, but its disappointing that we might have to switch now. What is this pull request you are talking about, I would be more than happy to oblige.

Regards,

Bart

Hi Bart,

The code in question is here: https://github.com/stephenharris/Event-Organiser/blob/develop/js/frontend.js#L509-L632. It’s written in JavaScript rather than PHP.

This will be looked at, but unfortunately I can’t offer any guarantees as to when that will be.
