Ajax Calendar 1.04 works ok in Chrome on my site!

I think you might find that you can set the start parameter to a negative value and it works!
[eventlist start =”-1 Weeks” end=”+1 Weeks” limit=9]
This seems to work on my test site, but only done a quick test!

P.S. If you want to see it working, my site can have up to many events in a week, most repeating with occasional “one only” (I display a max of 8 in the sidebar) see https://budworthsc.org.uk and compare the Upcoming Events with the full page calendar (link just above in the sidebar!)

Hi trix,
Suggest those add up to quite extensive changes for your special requirements. I suggest it would be best to write (get get someone else) a helper plugin, that does that in the way you want!

Update, just to be clear on my 3 line patch:
The 3 lines above should REPLACE the one original line. (so don’t leave the original below the patch or it will not have any effect!)

@azjaleah You’re welcome!
Yes, there should only be one line that does the db_query_events!

To answer your question, [ eventlist limit=7 … is fine, just set however many result you want as a maximum, you can change that at any time, just like before.
This is because the number 4 on lines 793/795 does not relate to the shortcode limit number.
What I found was that the events you expect to display are not always fetched within the query $limit. But if the query fetches MORE records then it does find the right ones. So what my patch does it does is tell wordpress to get “4 times the number of results you set in the shortcode limit”. Because you only want to DISPLAY the number set in the shortcode, it restores the number back to original immediately afterwards, so that the code further on displays the number you set (7 in this case).
I tested with doubling it, and that seemed ok, so doubled again to be safe. The number on lines 793/795 MUST be the same, so it restores back to the original!
Glad it helps!
I don’t guarantee it will work for every number of categories and every quantity of events, as that can be so variable and I only tested a few different situations, but it has been behaving ok on my own site.

Hopefully the author will revise the code so that this is not needed!

Thanks Stephen, I will play around with the github example code!

I think there are calendar bugs for people using different date formats (e.g. UK dd/mm/yyyy format)
Not a fix, but try setting the Date format to yyyy-mm-dd and see if that affects it.
Certainly for UK dates dd/mm/yyyy the pop-up dialog shows wrong durations on occasion (e.g. an event with duration 2 days can show as “4 Weeks 4 Days”, but switching date format to yyyy-mm-dd makes it show correctly “2 Days”. Might help the author if you report your findings!

Hi,
try adding this to your theme style.css (It may not work if the ajax calendar css is loaded after this)
.aec-eventlist .fc-event-time { font-size: 1em;}

The Calendar widget is not supposed to wrok anymore, replaced by the shortcodes – see the plugin docs.

It’s a bug in the shortcode – see my post “Bug in Eventlist shortcode” – I offer a hack to the code to work around the problem – adding 2 line to the php source code – not ideal, but may work for you until author is able to fix the issue

sorry, not able to help at present – I have a club website to finish design and launch. Would be useful – but would need checks for empty directory etc else people will find their images have gone oops!
If I get time I will look at it further and put another post here – or maybe the author might look for next update release?

Do you have any images you want to keep in it? (Or reference any in posts etc?
If not, I think you can simply delete the folder from your site using ftp client or similar (CPanel etc)

Yes agree! It seems big problem that pictures in NextGen cannot be used as featured images Needs integration with WP 3.5 Media Manager
Hope this is coming soon.
– do you really have to end up with 2 copies of all images?? one withiin nextgen and one in the WP Media Library?
It would also solve the problem of media manager not having a folder structure, which seems major weakness. Any solutions out there?

Well if there is, it’s not on the settings page on my system, so must be well hidden!
Anyway hopefully the original post will help anyone else with same symptoms

I have same problem – are you using Suffusion theme?
I have found that the css class “.description” has a text-transform uppercase in the style.css
You may find similar. Possible workaround is to change style.css in your custom css to override the “text-transform: uppercase” and (if you want your bog title in Uppercase, enter it like that in the general options? Not tried it tho ??
