Yes, check your quotes or other special characters in the events description as it can cause issues with particular events it seems.

Again, this seems to be a major flaw in the plugin and as you have said I am surprised the developer hasn’t responded to this thread. It’s really more than 1 issue I suppose, but these issues leave the plugins “event spot” features almost useless out of the box.

I sent emails to the developer personally a month ago and still haven’t heard back :/ Maybe it’s not being developed anymore?

Well, solved the last error.
It stemmed from a problem in the “description field” entered in constant contact. It has to do with ‘. It looks like it was pasted from a Rich Text Document where it was registering as ? . This was causing it to throw a weird error.

This likely has to do with the way the plugin and the API charsets are?

Well, I must say this is extremely weird. Real case of whack-a-mole here.
I think this issues stems from one of the main api calls to the eventspot or something along those lines. It seems to be displaying 3 of the 4 events, but the 4th event now throws an error:

Warning: extract() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in \wp-content\plugins\constant-contact-api\functions.php on line 1167

I can’t see anything unique about this event that would cause this error.

If I try to view this events details through the wordpress admin it throws all kinds of weird issues. After I refresh it’s details it then works just fine….

I was also able to temporarily navigate the admin area without having to refresh the events tabs. TO do this you need to remove a bit of code from a few different lines.

in events.php in the plugin/admin folder go to the following lines

line: 461 change to:
echo '<li>| <a href="'.add_query_arg('event_status', 'active').'"'.$class.'>Active <span class="count">('.count($Active).')</span></a></li>';

Line: 465 change to:
echo '<li>| <a href="'.add_query_arg('event_status', 'draft').'"'.$class.'>Draft <span class="count">('.count($Draft).')</span></a></li>';

Line 469 change to:
echo '<li>| <a href="'.add_query_arg('event_status', 'complete').'"'.$class.'>Complete <span class="count">('.count($Complete).')</span></a></li>';

Line 473 change to:
echo '<li>| <a href="'.add_query_arg('event_status', 'cancelled').'"'.$class.'>Cancelled <span class="count">('.count($Cancelled).')</span></a></li>';

Line 458 change to:

echo '<li><a href="'.remove_query_arg(array('event_status')).'"'.$class.'>All <span class="count">('.count($events).')</span></a></li>';

For what it’s worth, I’ve narrowed the problem down to something to do with event caching or something..

If you add “?refresh=events” to the page url on the frontend it displays the events just fine. Again, this isn’t really a fix, as it seems to be something to do with caching the API results from CC.

Is there a fix coming for this? I’ve sent a couple emails, contacted Constant Contact and they say all issues like this have to go through the developer. Hoping to hear something back…..

Any update regarding this? Surely I can’t be the only one who is experiencing this problem? I tested multiple times from multiple different servers and installs.. Only common link was using the same account number. But even then, I can’t see why it would have anything to do with the particular account….

It essentially renders the plugin use-able at this point? I’ve tried digging into the code to see if I could address a fix but I wasn’t able to get it working.

Already checked that. Re-write is present.
The mod_rewrite module is functioning correctly. It only seems once I try to update a permalink after I’ve already saved it under a different name that it won’t let me change it. So I have to delete the page at the moment, then re-create it with the proper permalink..

I know its a bit late, but I came across your post when I was looking into how to do it. No one had the answer, so I just kind of tried my own thing.
Kind of a round about way of doing it, but it works…
In the preferences of your contact form add change your submit button to look like this:

[submit class:submit_button “Send”]

Now in your styles.css file add the following:

.submit_button{
 color: #FFFFFF; <-- change FFFFFF
 font-size: 0px;
 width: 11111px; <-- change 11111
 height: 11111px; <-- change 11111
 border: none;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
 background: #FFFFFF url(./images/submit.gif) 0 0 no-repeat; <-- submit.gif needs to be the same size as the width / height you set previously.
}

Eric,

Yes, my thoughts on this are exactly like your personal contact page.
It would be easy enough to modify the CSS to get a personal touch to the form elements.
You’re a busy man, and I really appreciate all the hard work you’ve put into the modal window contact form! Any time frame on completion of this by chance? ??
