monodistortion

Every theme is different but the normal list view is generated by the index.php file. The calendar list view is a category archive displayed with the list.php template file. Compare these two files and modify your list.php file.

From what I’ve read they are concentrating on developing and supporting the pro/paid version of this plugin.

It also doesn’t have a sidebar calendar widget.

The documentation for this plugin isn’t very clear what you need to do. There is an “Events List Widget” but there isn’t a grid style calendar widget.

This events plugin uses posts for events. It creates an new category for events and adds a new box in the Edit Post Administration Panel. All the extra data is stored as post meta data (the same as custom fields).

Look at the 4th and 5th screenshots here:

Are you still working on this or are you going without sidebars now?
I was making this plugin work with 2010 too.

Basically you have to match the div structure of your 2010 theme files. If you compare page.php from 2010 to gridview.php you’ll see that after get_header() there are two divs before the loop starts and then these divs are closed after the loop and before get_sidebar().

Put those divs into the template files and it should work.

I just looked some more into this. What is your server setup (Linux, Windows, Mac, Apache version, PHP version)?

In the General Settings, what is your WordPress address (URL) and Site address (URL)?

Does this happen if you disable permalinks?

This is a deprecated security feature of php that shouldn’t be relied on but somewhere your settings are most likely wrong.

Your problem sounds a lot like this one:

They’re probably concentrating on the paid/pro version and support for the old free version is up to you/us.

Post a link and I’ll look at it when I have time.

What’s on line 795 of that file? Is it this?

$base = str_replace( trailingslashit( get_option( 'siteurl' ) ), '', $url );

If so, try replacing it with this:

$base = trailingslashit( str_replace( trailingslashit( get_option( 'home' ) ), '', $url ) );

Are you using the calendar on the same page or a different page?

Are you using the code in this block here?

I just did a quick test and it looks like it works fine.

This may not be related to the error you’re getting but I know that you need to make this change if your WordPress files aren’t installed in your root folder.

This may or may not be the same bug but it came up in my search results. This was the solution I found:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-override-eventscss?replies=2#post-1843267

I just ran into this same bug in version Version 1.6.4 of the-events-calendar.

To get the events.css file to load from the correct location in the child theme folder like themes/child_theme/events/events.css you’ll need to change one line in the file the-events-calendar.class.php. This file will be overwritten when you upgrade the plugin so make a backup.

Find the function loadDomainStylesScripts and change the line:

$templateArray = explode( '/', TEMPLATEPATH );

to:

$templateArray = explode( '/', STYLESHEETPATH );

This fix works in child themes and normal non-child themes.

I just ran into this bug. My WordPress is installed in a folder called wp but the site address is at the root of the site. This is pretty common and explained here:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

I’m using Version 1.6.4 of the-events-calendar and this is the solution I found. It involves editing the the-events-calendar.class.php file so these changes will be overwritten if you upgrade the plugin. Make a backup before this.

Find the function called filterRewriteRules and change the line:

$base = str_replace( trailingslashit( get_option( 'siteurl' ) ), '', $url );

to:

$base = trailingslashit( str_replace( trailingslashit( get_option( 'home' ) ), '', $url ) );

(Note to other developers– using camelCase is not recommended.)

This requires a change to the file the-events-calendar.class.php so any time the plugin is upgraded to a new version you’ll have to make the same edit.

Near the beginning of the file find the line that says:

const CATEGORYNAME	 		= 'Events';

and change that to whatever you want.

This should probably be put into the translation file.

This plugin has a lot of bugs and the documentation isn’t that great but the features that work seem good.

Try clicking on the button that says “view post” underneath the title when editing a post.

The easiest way would be to use the <!–more–> tag where you want the post to cut off.

If you want an automatically generated excerpt you’ll have to change one template file.

First you need to have a custom version of list.php in your template folder. Copy the file from plugins/the-events-calendar/views/list.php to themes/your_theme/events/list.php

In this copy of the list.php file find the line that says:

<?php the_content(); ?>

And replace it with:

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
