Well, I’ve tried further tests.

I’ve tried to delete items from the feed items list: they do not appear as posts any longer, but… they do not show in RSS either!!
I’ve tried to clear the feed database (then no more posts and no more items in the widgets) and update it. Same problems: all items as posts! (while the option is NOT ACTIVATED)

I have noticied that once a feed is created, whether items exist or not, a post is created: as I created 23 feeds, I get 23 posts whose title is the name of the feed and content is empty.

On the verge of going back to previous version…

As I said in my first message, autopost is NOT ACTIVATED.
I still tried to delete, but no change.
Hopefully, I am luckier than wollepelz…

OK, but that does not resolve my problem which is: why are feed items being transformed into posts when I did not ask for it?

Actually, it works all right now, but I still have 2 versions in the back office (1.6.8 and updated 1.7.4), and impossible to get rid of 1.6.8 !
I had to deactivate it in order to activate the update.

Different problem but same result: the form shows but the “send button” does not function.
Besides, there had been a problem with latest update (1.7.2) and I now have 2 versions in the back office (1.6.8 and 1.7.3)…
HELP!!!

Sorry.
Hopefully I’ve had time to find out in the meantime, going back and forth and deleting medias and new articles.

Hi,
What I’ve been dreaming of!!!!
I tried to modify my theme’s functions.php with great hope, but it does not work : instead of a tidy date, I get “#_CUSTOMDATEPLACEHOLDERNAME” – or “#_CUSTOMEVENTDATES” according to what modification I did.
This is what I added in my theme’s functions.php around line 87 (I replaced ‘M’ by ‘F’ as in my settings – full month in French).
Any idea why it goes wrong?
Thank you

// DATE TIDIER

add_filter( ’em_event_output_placeholder’, ‘my_custom_event_placeholders’, 1, 3);
/**
* Custom Events Manager placeholders
* @param string $result
* @param EM_Event $EM_Event
* @param string $placeholder
* @return string
*/
function my_custom_event_placeholders( $replace, $EM_Event, $result ) {
switch ( $result ) {
case ‘#_CUSTOMEVENTDATES’:
$replace = ”;
$start_date = strtotime( $EM_Event->event_start_date );
$end_date = strtotime( $EM_Event->event_end_date );
$timediff = $end_date – $start_date;
// Check if the number of the day is different
if ( $timediff >= 86400 ) {
// Check if is the same month
if ( date_i18n( ‘F’, $end_date ) == date_i18n( ‘F’, $start_date ) ) {
// Print only the start day
$replace = date_i18n( ‘j’, $start_date ). ‘ – ‘ . date_i18n( ‘j F Y’, $end_date );
}else{
// Check if is the same year
if ( date_i18n( ‘Y’, $end_date ) == date_i18n( ‘Y’, $start_date ) ) {
// Print only the start day and month
$replace = date_i18n( ‘j F’, $start_date ). ‘ – ‘ . date_i18n( ‘j F Y’, $end_date );
}else{
// Print the complete start and end date
$replace = date_i18n( ‘j F Y’, $start_date ). ‘ – ‘ . date_i18n( ‘j F Y’, $end_date );
}
}
}else{
$replace = date_i18n( ‘j F Y’, $start_date );
}
break;
}
return $replace;
}

Thanks.
I’ve read them in length, but did not quite find the solution, nor came near to it, unless I do it by hand eg. write the name of the category and fetch the elements, and that for each category, which is a bit… laborious!
But of needs be…

Hi,

Don’t know how I did not see that earlier.

I finally managed to get the list of events for a period of time (1st of September to 31st of December):
[events_list scope=”2013-09-01,2013-12-31″ order=”DESC” ]

• #_EVENTDATES – #_EVENTLINK [#_CATEGORYNAME]

[/events_list]

Now, I’d love (it would be easier to read) to have them grouped by sub-categories… (then I’ll get rid of the [#_CATEGORYNAME] part for each event.

Any idea?

Hi,
Don’t know if this is of any help, but I got a number of rss for my site on a specific page and for events manager it worked with https://mysite.com/evenements/rss/.
However I was very disappointed to learn that we cannot create per category rss…

Hi,
I’d like to get a list of events grouped by categories, for a certain period of time (eg. quarter: september-november 2013).

eg. Events september-november 2013 (title of the page I would create)
Conferences (cat. id=1)
title conf 1 – 6 september 2013
title conf 2 – 23 october 2013
Seminars (cat. id=34)
seminar 1 – 15 october 2013
seminar 2 – 8 november 2013
etc.

I can’t seem to find the solution whithin any of the forum interventions…

Any help?

OK. I’ll have a look.
Thank you.

Sure, it limits from the furthest. Meaning that if you have 53 events in the future, the first ones to be shown are always the furthest (whether you limit to 10, 20 or 50). In my case it “begins” in June 2014, therefore irrelevant!

Further development to your plugin would be to include in the RSS parameters the option offered in the Events > Settings > Pages > Event List/Archives > Default event list options section.

And a per-category RSS too.

As it is, I cannot use RSS for events from my site.

Thank you.

Well it sounds great!
I thought it might modify all other titles in the site, but it looks all right.
Thank you!!!

BTW I wouldn’t have the budget for a developer…

Is there a time lapse between the moment we save parameters and the moment we consult the RSS? Because I have been waiting for more than 10 minutes now and it does not change. I have tried to select current + next month…
