Should be fixed now. Please let me know if you run into any problems ??

Hi,

Thanks for reporting! this looks like something I’ll need to fix. I’ll take a look at it today.

Hi,

I’ll take a look on that and see if it is fixable. This is most likely something related to jQuery as you mentioned, and probably something either I or the authors of wp-types need to address. I’ll try and find out.

Hey,

I guess you are only using the widget at the moment? For showing an actual page with an event listing you’ll need to create a specific template for that page. See Page Templates and Template Hierarchy for more information.

If you are not using your own theme, you can create a child theme and put the template there. Example at https://github.com/attemoi/am-events-child-theme

You can check out Other Notes on the plugin page for help on creating the WP_Query for the template

Hope this helps!

Hi,

So you’ll need the category slug instead of name, am I right?

I’m afraid that’s not currently possible, but I can include it on an upcoming update I’ve been working on. It’ll probably take some time though.

Hi,

Just to let you know, I haven’t abandoned work on the calendar widget yet, I’ve just been a bit busy on other things ??

I have created a basic event calendar widget already, but turns out it is a lot more complicated than just modifying the default calendar. WordPress doesn’t really support date archives for custom post types, so I still need to figure out a good way to handle the archive pages to make sense for event posts and handle the required rewrites. I’m sure I’ll figure something out though.

Okay, so you’ll only be needing a widget calendar? That would not be too difficult, as I could just modify the default WordPress calendar. That is certainly something I could add to my plugin in the near future.

If you also need an full page calendar view, that is something that I won’t be adding to the plugin itself, but there’s nothing preventing you from creating an event calendar page template though. I can provide an example/tutorial if needed.

P.S. I’m not for hire at the moment, but I do accept donations ??

Hi,

Yeah, I’ve always thought about adding a calendar view, just haven’t gotten around doing it. I guess you’re looking for something like this?

I’ve got some time later this week, I’ll see what I can come up with. I’ll keep you posted ??

Okay, turned out it was very easy to fix. I just updated the plugin. The localization should now be working.

Oh okay, I understand now, should’ve read your post more carefully :). Anyway, I’ll take look into it today and see if I can fix that.

You should take a look at page templates and more specifically the template hierarchy.

In short, WordPress uses a certain naming scheme to decide which template to use. So while you cannot change where the event link takes you, you can change the template WordPress uses to display the event.

Hi,

Nice to know you like my plugin!

The date format is set on line 70 and 71 in page-event-blog.php

am_the_startdate('Y-m-d H:i', 'Start date: ', '<br/>');
am_the_enddate('Y-m-d H:i', 'End date: ', '<br/>');

Here you can see the date format defined as 'Y-m-d H:i', just like in the widget, using php date formatting.

Hi,

Sounds like you could use a child theme to create (or copy) the template for event pages. It is actually pretty simple, you can find an example Twenty-Twelve child theme from my plugin’s description page.

Hi,

You are right, it was a bug which is now fixed. Please update the plugin.

Thanks for reporting!

Hi,

I just implemented this feature and updated the plugin. You can now use the [thumbnail] shortcode to display featured pictures in the widget.

The size can also be defined like so:

[thumbnail size='thumbnail']
[thumbnail size='medium']
[thumbnail size='full']

Please let me know if you have any problems!
