Awesome, thanks very much! It works great!

I added 2 new tags for the infobar:
{altitudeft} = Altitude in Feet
{distancemi} = Distance in Miles

Here are the sections of code I updated:

trackserver.js:

process_data: function (data, options)
        //	Added opts for altitudeft, distancemi (billw 10/11/18)
        this.set_mydata(options.div_id, options.track_id, 'altitude_ft', o.metadata.last_trkpt_altitude_ft);
        this.set_mydata(options.div_id, options.track_id, 'distance_mi', o.metadata.distance_mi);

if (alltracks && alltracks[track_id])
        //	Added opts for altitudeft, distancemi (wcw 10/11/18)
        var altitude_ft = alltracks[track_id].metadata.last_trkpt_altitude_ft;
        var distance_mi = alltracks[track_id].metadata.distance_mi;

if (mymapdata.infobar)
        infobar_text = infobar_text.replace(/\{altitudeft\}/gi, altitude_ft);
        infobar_text = infobar_text.replace(/\{distancemi\}/gi, distance_mi);

trackserver.php:

function get_metadata( $row, $extra_metadata = array() )
        //	Added opts for altitudeft, distancemi (billw 10/11/18)
        'last_trkpt_altitude_ft'  => number_format( (float) $row['altitude'] * 3.28084, 0),
	'distance_mi'          => number_format( (float) $row['distance'] * 0.0006213712, 2 ),

//	Added opts for altitudeft, distancemi (billw 10/11/18) (also {distance} was missing)	
printf(
	$format,
	esc_html__( 'With live tracking, an information bar can be shown on the map, displaying some data from the latest trackpoint. ' .
	'Here you can format the content of the infobar. Possible replacement tags are {lat}, {lon}, {timestamp}, {altitude}, {altitudeft}, ' .
	'{speedms}, {speedkmh}, {speedmph}, {distance}, {distancemi}, {userid}, {userlogin}, {displayname}.', 'trackserver' )
);

If others are interested in this, perhaps you could roll it into your code when you have a chance. Thanks again for all your work on this great plugin!

Sorry but not sure what your point is, do you have a question?

Great! Thanks, will look forward to seeing these new features.

Love your plugin!

Ok Great, thanks.

I decided just to use simple html to add a notification in the header above the sidebar to show Message & Announcement counts only when there are any unread, and a scrolling banner across the top of the site when there is an unread announcement. In case anyone else wanted something like this, here’s the code I used…

In header.php:

<!-- Position this code to show the scrolling banner in the desired location of the header -->
<?php 
  unset ($new_msg);
  unset ($new_ann);
  $new_msg = fep_get_new_message_number(); 
  $new_ann = fep_get_new_announcement_number();
?>				
<?php if ($new_ann != 0): 
  if ($new_ann == 1){
    $s="There is an important new site announcement";
  } else {
    $s="There are " . $new_ann . " important new site announcements";
  }	
  $s = $s . " - please click here to read now...";
  ?>
  <a itemprop="url" href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url() . "/private-messages/?fepaction=announcements"); ?>" class="announce">
  <marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left"><b><?php echo $s; ?></b></marquee>
  </a>
<?php endif; ?>	

<!-- Position code to show # of unread messages/announcements in the desired location -->
<div style="text-align:right">
  <?php if ($new_msg + $new_ann != 0): ?>
    <a itemprop="url" href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url() . "/private-messages/?fepaction=messagebox"); ?>" class="notice">
    <b>Unread Messages: </a><?php echo $new_msg; ?></b>
    <?php if ($new_ann != 0): ?>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;<a itemprop="url" href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url() . "/private-messages/?fepaction=announcements"); ?>"class="notice">
      <b>TEST_Site Announcements: </a><?php echo $new_ann; ?></b>
    <?php endif; ?>
  <?php endif; ?>
</div>

Added classes to Style.css:

a.notice {
  color: red;
}
a.notice:hover {
  color: #ff6666;
  text-decoration: none;
}
a.announce {
  color: blue;
}
a.announce:hover {
  color: #8383af;
}

Also, how can I access the content of unread announcements for the current user (to load in a $var in order to be displayed in a custom banner, for example)?

Ok, sorry Franky. This isn’t a problem with EME at all, but with the way Outlook opens iCal files. NOTE: The Google calendar feed was updating correctly.

Opening the link created with the following does not ‘subscribe’ Outlook to a feed:
Subscribe: [eme_ical_link scope=all]

The resulting link is an ‘https://’ address to your ical file. When you open such a link with MS Outlook the resulting calendar is NEVER updated, but remains static. There is a process which allows you to subscribe to a feed using this link, but it’s a little involved and varies depending on which version of Outlook you have. Far too much trouble just to get our calendar.
Fortunately, there is a simple solution…

Replace the prefix of the link created above with ‘webcal’ (or ‘webcals’ for ‘https’ security) as below:
webcals://yoursite.com/?eme_ical=public&scope=all

Opening this link from Outlook actually DOES ‘subscribe’ to the ical feed, it is automatically updated with any changes made to your EME calendar.

Simple.

Ah, thanks! Very fast response.

Thanks for your quick reply, but that isn’t really the issue I’m having… The Calendars linked via iCal feed are totally static, they are never updated even after 2 months. This problem occurs in both the Google calendar as well as the iCal feed to MS Outlook. They act as if the link is not a feed at all, but rather a static snapshot of the calendar events at the time the link is created.

As a test, I’ve added a new EME Calendar feed to both MS Outlook and also to a new Google Calendar using the same code as above (the original ones had already been deleted). I then updated several items; moving event dates, adding a new event, and deleting an existing one.

I’ll wait to see if either calendar will show these changes, so far (>24hrs) none of the changes have appeared in either calendar.

[Now on EME version 1.7.7]

sorry posted in the wrong thread…

Yes

Thanks, very glad this helped!

Great! Thanks for the good work, look forward to using this for our site!

Ahh, very good! Thanks so much!

Excellent Plugin!

Ok, Thanks. That’s what I was afraid of. Will look for another solution.

I DO understand that message isn’t from your plugin!

HOWEVER, your plugin is REDIRECTING the user on login, which is CAUSING this message (as I stated above).

MY QUESTION: How can I keep your plugin from causing the redirection, which results in this WP message (without creating a custom login page)?

PLEASE NOTE:
– When I activate your plugin I get this message.
– When I deactivate your plugin I no longer get this message!

Your plugin is CLEARLY CAUSING something to happen (redirect to a non-existent custom login page, maybe) that is resulting in this message, even though the message itself isn’t from your plugin.

Thanks
