Hi Jason, if it’s possible, could you take a screenshot of this? If not please let me know what version of windows, what browser and so on you’re using so that I can try and recreate this issue.

Cheers,

pffft, one of those days… ?? Fixed! You should see an update soon. Thanks!

Hi Jason,

Have just released an update for the plugin which should fix this issue. Thanks for reporting it!

Hey, have just pushed a new version of the plugin (1.4.8) which fixes both those issues you raised.

Hey Jason,

Will sort this out for you.

Cheers,
Huntly

Thanks for pointing out point 1, that’s a quick fix and I’ll sort that out as soon as I can.

Regarding point 2, I think you’re completely correct and I’ll include that when I’m fixing point 1.

Note to self: create documentation…

Ah! Sorry – I wasn’t following what you meant!!!

Right, the short answer is that the widget is just a quick overview and doesn’t allow what you’re after.

The long answer is that the “additional info” field is meant for the table that the [shortcode] spits out. In a recent version of this plugin I’ve added in the ability to add a link to an event which, if set, is used in the widget and makes the title clickable. This takes you to the link you set – not a page with the event details.

Hope this clears things up?

Glad you’ve got the languages working!

For your second point, take a look at this screenshot: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/really-simple-events/screenshot-1.jpg?r=715964

The map you see here as well as the “be sure to check..” text is what I’ve added into the “additional info”. I had created that field as a quick way to get across some info like: “Doors open at 7, tickets ￡2”.

Hope this helps?

The easiest way I can say for you to do this is to add in some custom css:

body{
  overflow: scroll;
}

#hs-rsp-popup-bg {
   position: absolute !important;
}

This may cause some z-indexing issues however, but it may be worth a quick try. I can see a usability issue in having a small screen and the popup being larger than the screen size… It doesn’t make for a very nice experience in my opinion.

Because the wordpress forums seem to be a bit rubbish about informing me of new support posts, if you’ve any more issues in the future, please feel free to email me: [email protected]

Hey SmoovP,

What is the size of the screen?

(the translation of the dates won’t work until I push out the update)

Hi, that’s cool, one question, did you install the English or the French version of WordPress? I had a hell of a time trying to get the date to translate!!

1. Create a directory in /wp-content/ called ‘languages’ and download the french .po and .mo files from this link into it: https://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/fr_FR/branches/3.4/messages/

I’m going to release a quick update to the plugin within the next hour, so look out for an update.

2. This plugin doesn’t use custom post types (you have to understand that this plugin started as a simple table without even the “more info” links)!

Until I get round to rewriting this plugin to use custom post types, you’ve only got one option: create a page for each event. I know this isn’t ideal but it’s the only way around it for the moment. Using the new “link” field you can link up your pages and then in the widget the whole title becomes a link which will take you to your specified page.

Cheers,

Hi nowruzian,

This is a bit of a problem! As far as I’m aware, MySQL by default uses the Gregorian calendar.

The problem is that I store both the time and the date, you’ve supplied me with a “minified” version of the date picker which is cool and I’ve kind of got it to work, but it doesn’t allow you to pick times.

If you don’t want times then I can send you my modified version of the plugin with the date picker you’ve supplied, but you won’t receive any future updates.

Cheers,

Huntly

Hey, have you got a link to your website so I can see what’s going on? I don’t quite follow you.
