[Plugin: All-in-One Event Calendar] Feature Suggestions

We can filter on either tags or categories but not on a combination of both.

We would like to filter on both tags and categories. Is there a patch to allow that?

This appears to be the code in class-ailec-events-helper.php, line 841, where the query is created.

// Get the Join (filter_join) and Where (filter_where) statements based on $filter elements specified
		$ai1ec_calendar_helper->_get_filter_sql( $filter );

		$query = $wpdb->prepare(
			"SELECT *, e.post_id, UNIX_TIMESTAMP( e.start ) as start, UNIX_TIMESTAMP( e.end ) as end, e.allday, e.recurrence_rules, e.exception_rules,
				e.recurrence_dates, e.exception_dates, e.venue, e.country, e.address, e.city, e.province, e.postal_code,
				e.show_map, e.contact_name, e.contact_phone, e.contact_email, e.cost, e.ical_feed_url, e.ical_source_url,
				e.ical_organizer, e.ical_contact, e.ical_uid " .
			"FROM $wpdb->posts " .
				"INNER JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}ai1ec_events AS e ON e.post_id = ID " .
				$filter['filter_join'] .
			"WHERE post_type = '" . AI1EC_POST_TYPE . "' " .
				"AND post_status = 'publish' " .
				$filter['filter_where'] .
				$start_where_sql .
				$end_where_sql,
			$args );

I am guessing that the filter is built in class-ailec-calendar-helper.php but I am not sure where.

I moved from a different calendar plugin to yours because it’s superior in every way! The only ting the old one had that yours doesn’t have at this point is a 2nd widget for “today’s events” … It’s cool to have a widget above the upcoming events that says “TONIGHT!” or “TODAY!” so people can really see it’s today. The shaded background doesn’t really express it as much as a separate widget. I design sites for comedians and it’s much better in that scenario. Thanks!

I’ll second the suggestion to make a link to an external page an option along with location, etc. While it’s possible to put that info in the description of the event, I’m working with people who’d appreciate the reminder to add that when appropriate.

I’d also like a way to change the owner of an event so someone who “takes over” maintenance of an event can be given the rights to change an existing event without being given the capability to edit all the posts. I realize I can change the post_author in the entry for the event in the posts table. But that seems awkward. Thanks so much for the plugin -and apologies if I missed where this was mentioned above.

Due to the age and length of this post, I am marking it as ‘resolved.’ For other new feature suggestions, please feel free to email them to [email protected]

Thank you.
