Yes, it will run on the latest version of WordPress.

Calendar is not supposed to show in your sidebar by default. The main calendar will show in a page when you add {CALENDAR} to the page and the upcoming and todays events panes will show in the sidebar only when you add the widgets and activate the functionality in the calendar options.

This is a function defined within my calendar plugin. Because it is defined within another functiuon, it will only get loaded when that function is called (ie. when you add the tag).

What seems to be happening is that your theme or some other plugin you are using also has a function named month_comparison(). This means that when you add my calendar tag in, there is an attempt to load a function with the same name and thus causing the error.

To fix this you should firstly try deactivating all your plugins and then activating calendar and adding in the tag to a page (you should use the code editor not the visual one). If that doesn’t work then your theme will be to blame.

If it does work you then need to begin activating your plugins one by one and checking for the error. When you activate a plugin and get the error, that plugin will be the one you want to get rid of.

Hope this helps

You can set a certain level of user to be able to access the events management screen such that all users at that level or above can add events.

The calendar will appear on any WordPress page in which the {CALENDAR} tag appears.

This would seem to indicate that some of the SQL statements that get run when you first install Calendar have in fact not run properly.

While not a wide-spread problem this is not the first time it has been reported, although most users never encounter this issue.

I have installed calendar hundreds of times and each time the correct tables with the correct columns are created.

Was your install an upgrade from an earlier version?

The only way this is ever going to get fixed is if a person experiencing the issues tries to run the group of queries used to install/upgrade calendar one by one, noting any errors, also providing their server details. If you fancy doing this Iriggle then perhaps the plugin can be fixed in some way.

Post a reply if you fancy doing this.

Someone wrote a modification to my calendar plugin which does this kind of thing. I can’t vouch for it as I haven’t tested it yet and I certainly can’t support it (I hope to include something like this in the future as default though), but I include a link to the code below anyway in case it is of some use to you.

May well be some stuff is hard coded into your theme. Look in sidebar.php

Text colour can be altered in the style sheet box on the options screen.

You cannot turn a whole day the colour of the category of the event that sits in it because the calendar supports multiple events per day and those events could sit in different categories. This is why just the background of the event name is given the colour.

Yes, it does work with 2.7 and yes I will change the compatibility but only at the next release; that piece of text is contained within a file in the release and so if I modified it without incrementing the release number it would mess things up.

Are you entering a valid date in the format YYYY-MM-DD in the start and end date field? Are events being added despite the error?

Yes, you need to use HTML rather than just line breaks like you would when authoring a normal WordPress post

It is compatible with 2.7, its just I haven’t yet made a new release and so haven’t updated the readme file to reflect the fact.

I know its a little late dlaird but my Calendar plugin should do just what you want

I am planning on expanding the permissions structure in the next version of Calendar which will then do what you are looking for. I’m working on the next version as I type so I expect a release in the next few weeks.
