May 16, 2008 · Posted in Wordpress Plugins 

There was a major bug that ronbme pointed out.  The calendar was disappearing when the month was changing in the small calendar.  This was a major oversight and has been fixed.  Thanks to Ron for all you help.

    Typed dates wrong and I can not erase, because it does not appear on the agenda, only in the widget. How do?
    I did the upgrade from version and when I click the next or previous months, the calendar does not appear. Some new version of the defect?
    [use the google translator, forgive the mistakes and if I do not understand]

    These entries can be deleted or edited manually through the database admin.

  3. Prasannah on May 17th, 2008 9:58 am

    I’ve got the same problem, also for complete entries. It doesn’t show the tooltip or date or time in the widget and worse, nothing in the calendar! Looks like I’ve got to rollback to some older version :-(

  4. costas on May 17th, 2008 10:07 am

    file_get_contents() expects at most 2 parameters, 3 given in xxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 39

    why is this?

  5. ulisses on May 17th, 2008 10:54 am

    I have put the widget version 6.2 and returned to work. I will not make the upgrade to version 6.3. But I do not know in which file I must draw the entries that entered with errors. It would be very good if the calendar was a place where it could erase our mistakes.

  6. Luke on May 17th, 2008 10:44 pm

    I am checking on the file_get_contents() error. What version of php are you running?

  7. Prasannah on May 18th, 2008 2:39 am

    I run PHP 5.2.5

  8. Joop on May 18th, 2008 6:31 am

    Luke,

    The calendar still keeps disappearing from my sidebar when i click on previous or next month

    Firthermore, if I click on an event, the tiny pop-up box shows me my frontpage (splashpage)

    I use your version 6.3, Wordpress 2.5.1

  9. costas on May 18th, 2008 6:45 am

    mine too. it was not the case before but now its disappears.

  10. B166er on May 18th, 2008 7:26 am

    How to change first day of week, form Sunday to Monday?

  11. Joop on May 18th, 2008 7:39 am

    @ B166er

    I guess with the following:
    Since the Calendar uses the wordpress PHP date stamp, you should change this in the wordpress admin panel => settings=>”week starts on”on the bottom of the page.
    I hope this is helpfull ;-)

  12. ulisses on May 18th, 2008 10:20 am

    Hello, Luke!
    I do not know if the answer you gave was for me. Tried the file ‘file_get_contents() error’ in the directory: xxx / wp-content / plugins / events-calendar / and it does not exist. Open events-calendar.php, as well as in other files in the hope of finding the error in any line, but it’s not there. The version of PHP from my provider is 4.4.7. I went back to using version-calendar 6.0.12 events. I do not yet know what to do. [forgive the mistakes of language]

  13. ronbme on May 18th, 2008 12:44 pm

    @ulisses and costas,

    If you are getting the error “file_get_contents() expects two parameters”, it means that you are using a version of PHP which is less than 5.0.

    In PHP 5.0 the function accepts 3 parameters.
    In PHP 5.1 the function accepts 5 parameters.
    (There is also a change in PHP 6.0 which we don’t need to go into here.)

    The solution for now would be to comment out those lines. (I can show you where if you’d like). Everything will (should) work fine.

    Ron

  14. ronbme on May 18th, 2008 12:50 pm

    @Joop,

    Your problem of the calendar disappearing is related to the same problem as ulisses and costas mentioned. It’s in the same routine.

    The solution would be the same as I mentioned to them in the previous message.

    Luke may want to put out a special version for this fix. I’ll wait and see what he wants to do.

    Ron

  15. ronbme on May 18th, 2008 12:55 pm

    @Prasannah,

    Just to be clear, your problem is events that don’t show up and can’t be edited. Is that correct?

    You shouldn’t be having a problem with the calendar disappearing when you go from month to month, right?

    Ron

  16. costas on May 18th, 2008 1:46 pm

    no. the calendar is disappearing when going from one month to the other. i dont know why, but its the first time that happened. older versions were working fine.

    @ronbme
    please tell me the solution for the older versions of php.

    Costas

  17. ronbme on May 18th, 2008 2:03 pm

    costas,

    Luke is preparing a fix for this problem as so many people are having it. (The problem is with older versions of PHP.) The fix will let the routine work with older and newer versions of PHP.

    Ron

  18. costas on May 18th, 2008 3:17 pm

    ok. no problem. thanks a lot for the help.

  19. ulisses on May 18th, 2008 5:43 pm

    Yuuuupyyyy!
    :-)
    Thank you, Ron, for the answer.
    As I do not understand the language PHP, yes, I would like you to show me how and where to place that line. [I will ask my ISP when they will be able to upgrade to a newer PHP]. Assuming that does not give certain, will continue to use the 6.0.12 version of the schedule because I liked it very much.
    Thank you for help.

  20. ronbme on May 18th, 2008 5:53 pm

    ulisses and costas,

    Luke has already fixed the problem and I am testing it. I don’t see any problems with it and I am using PHP 5.2, but I know it will work with PHP 4.0 also.

    Even if your host upgrades PHP, (which is a good thing), you will still be ok with this next version, i.e. you won’t have to reinstall anything with the Events Calendar.

    Ron

  21. najib on May 19th, 2008 2:33 am

    hello bro..firstly, good work with the plugin! helps alot

    one thing, i’m using the deepblue theme by mattbob and its not widget-aware..i did place the workaround in the sidebar file but it only showed the calendar as it is..event the button to skip to previous month/next month is not there..and it also doesnt highlight the date that has events in it..and even if i have added an event to the database, it doesnt show it in the calendar

    here’s a screenshot

  22. ulisses on May 19th, 2008 8:06 am

    Thank you, Ron.
    I await the new version with enthusiasm.

    :-)

  23. ronbme on May 19th, 2008 8:38 am

    ulisses,

    Thanks. It will be worth the wait. :)

    Also, I was able to replicate your error with entering the wrong date. I entered a date of 05-24-2008 which should have been 2008-05-24. It stored a date of “0000-00-00″ in the database. I corrected it in the database and it was fine. (I had to work to get the wrong date in.) I always use the pop up calendar to enter the dates, but there probably should be some error checking on the date field.

    Ron

  24. Luke on May 19th, 2008 9:36 am

    Error checking will be added very soon.

  25. costas on May 19th, 2008 11:50 am

    i have asked my provider to move my site to an php 5 server rather than php4 which is now.
    i hope this will solve the problem with the ec.

  26. Joop on May 19th, 2008 12:22 pm

    How about my second problem about the pop-up showing my splashscreen? Is that related to the “my-calendar-is-a-shy-one-it-disappears-when-clicked-onthingie” as well?

    Greetz,
    Joop

  27. ulisses on May 19th, 2008 4:58 pm

    Hahaha …
    :-| My student saw the recital marked on the calendar [wrong] and went through an email fighting me.
    :-x Make favour of the floor immediately with the new version, but we will have to fight a Karate.
    Hahaha!
    As expected …
    :-D

  28. Costas on May 20th, 2008 4:52 am

    Luke,
    i was wondering whether i could have two copies versions of the same time in my site?
    I would like to have a calendar and event list for my conferences that I will be attending.
    And i would laso like to add some more details like

    conference dates, venue, Paper submission date, abstract submission date. I would also like to sort it by a date lets say by submission date or by abstract submission date.

    is it difficult to do?

  29. ronbme on May 20th, 2008 9:20 am

    @Costas,

    I think you may be able to do part of what you want to do now. In the description part of the event form you can add html tags, like
    Submission Date:, which is entered as <strong>Submission Date:</strong>
    You can even include a photo.

    If you want to see what you can do, you can go to my test site, http://www.web-eagle.com/Wblog2/.

    The point is that you can make the description part look like many different fields just by giving them html tags.

    As for having a calendar and an events list on the same page, I’ll let Luke handle that. That has a lot to do with WordPress 2.5.1.

    As to sorting, are you referring to the events list or something different?

    Ron

  30. Josh on May 20th, 2008 11:22 am

    I am having a hard time getting my calendar to write out the days of the week. I have a wide area that needs to be filled and my calendar is too small with just the letter representing the day. I tried looking at the PHP date functions and making changes within the settings, but it had no effect. I appreciate any suggestions that you can provide. Thanks! Josh

  31. ulisses on May 20th, 2008 2:54 pm

    Luke and Ron!
    :-)
    The schedule is perfect. The errors corrected. Version 6.3.1 is perfect. Great the option of 30 in 30 minutes and the color of date. I have the fixes and is working perfectly.
    Congratulations. This schedule is great!
    I am very happy!
    A strong handshake!
    And once again apologize for the mistakes of the language.
    [Even though there Google!]
    Congratulations!
    :-)

  32. Joop on May 20th, 2008 3:58 pm

    I am so sorry to post again, but I seem not to get an answer, nor is my problem solved with the newest version 6.3.1 :-(
    Would you please be so kind to look on my site and help me with the problems I described earlier?
    http://www.galanor.com.
    1. When I click on the sidebar calendar month, it disappears.
    2. When I click on a event, a small popups show me a part of my website’s first splash screen.
    I am stunned and want to use this great plugin
    Joop

  33. Josh Stegall on May 20th, 2008 5:01 pm

    Thanks for the response for my earlier post. I got it to display more of the name of the day by increasing the value within php to 3. Only 1 more problem. My posts are not displaying on the calendar or widget when I post them. Also, some of my dates from a previous version ARE showing on the wiget and the big calendar for future months, but only the wiget for the current month. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks so much!

  34. ronbme on May 20th, 2008 5:18 pm

    @Joop,

    If you have installed the newest version (6.3.1), deactivate it and then reactivate it.

    If you have not installed the latest version, I would recommend that you delete the events-calendar folder and then install the version 6.3.1.

    The fix for the problem you have having is in version 6.3.1.

    Ron

  35. Josh Stegall on May 20th, 2008 5:45 pm

    Thanks, that seemed to make all of the ones show up on the calendar. I deleted all of the old posts, and realized that it is not adding new posts. I enter all of the info, click add, the page reloads without the event showing on either the calendar or widget. I am sorry to be so much trouble. Thanks

  36. joop on May 21st, 2008 8:49 am

    @ron
    I did all:
    Del old version
    Dropped sql
    Upload new version
    Activated plugin
    Still same problem

  37. ronbme on May 21st, 2008 12:45 pm

    @joop,

    Do you have any events? Do you know if your database table was set up?

    Ron

  38. Josh Stegall on May 21st, 2008 1:21 pm

    If it helps, my hosting is done through Yahoo. My brother hosts his site with Yahoo and is having the same problem. It there anything I can can ask them to do on their end that will help? Thanks.

  39. ronbme on May 21st, 2008 4:24 pm

    @Josh,

    Sometimes the host can make a difference, particularly if you are on an overcrowded server. Then all kinds of strange problems can happen.

    You say that you deleted all the old “posts”. I assume that means “events”, right? If that is the case, then the database table was set up at some point. Can you go into your table and actually see data?

    Do you clear your browser cache after you make changes?

    If you’re not able to enter new events, then that is the first problem which needs to be solved.

    Ron

  40. Joop on May 21st, 2008 4:31 pm

    Allright, from the beginning:

    -Removed widget in wordpress 2.5.1
    -Deactivatred plugin in wordpress

    -In SQL, dropped Table WP_eventscalendar_main

    -In SQL, removed posts which were created by events calendar

    -Removed events calendar directory locally on pc in plugin directory wordpress

    -Removed events calendar directory remote in plugin directory wordpress

    -Downloaded E.C. 6.3.1
    -unzipped E.C. 6.3.1
    -uploaded E.C. 6.3.1
    -activated E.C. 6.3.1
    -Created events, created a post for event as well
    -Checked SQL if table was made & filled with event (2 actually)in WP_eventscalendar_main
    -Placed Widget in sidebar

    ** Left everything default (no tuning under options, no modified css, nothing!)**

    Clicked on Event, Same story as described earlier
    Clicked on Month, Same story as described earlier
    I am lost right now
    Sowwy for being a hard case ;-)
    I am gonna go so far to send you my login, just to let you look ;-)
    I sent a mail to luke, hope it helps. Cu you tomorrow (it is 23:30 here;-) )

  41. Bryen on May 21st, 2008 5:27 pm

    I’m running the latest… 6.3.1 and it is working great so far. One question:

    Is it possible to have the Calendar’s month displayed for a month where there is actual events? For example, I have events listed for June and nothing for May. Visitors see May and see no events so they assume there are no upcoming events. I would rather it show first “eventful” month.

    Comments:
    1) I did test and was able to put in hyperlinks. For users not familiar with the html code, it might be nice to include hyperlink fields in the event creation.

    2) I happen to also have a YouTube widget, which is just above the Events Calendar widget. When I had the calendar set to Events, the tooltips appeared underneath the YouTube widget. It would be nice if the events tooltip would be located in the same place as the calendar tooltip, which is more centered on the screen.

    how can I activate spanish version of your calendar V 6.3?

    Thanks in advance.

  43. Laura on May 25th, 2008 12:10 pm

    Hi!
    how can I change english version of your calendar
    V 6.3.1 development in italian version?
    Thanks in advance
    Laura

  44. Leo on May 25th, 2008 9:27 pm

    Hey,
    Awesome Plugin. Quick question… How do I get it so that my calendar runs with the Correct Time Zine. I am based in NZ and it seems as though the Calendar is based on another time zone?

  45. Dan on May 27th, 2008 9:10 am

    I uploaded your latest update but by calendar is still disappearing when I click to look at the next month. I deactivated, uploaded, and then reactivated the plugin. Am I missing something? I’m using WP 2.5.1

  46. zb on May 27th, 2008 9:20 am

    Events Calendar, is conflicting with wpDirAuth 1.3 (which allows users to logon via ldap).

    When you enable the Events Calendar, the wpDirAuth reports that “wpDirAuth is now running in safe mode as to not impair the other plugin’s operations.’

    The wp_authenticate and wp_setcookie WordPress pluggable functions have already been redefined, and wpDirAuth cannot provide directory authentication without having access to these functions.”

    Any ideas on how to resolve this? as we need ldap login and your Events Calendar to work together.

    Thanks

  47. Luke on May 27th, 2008 10:19 am

    I will do some looking into this. I don’t know much about the other plugin so if anyone has any suggestions I am open to them

  48. ronbme on May 27th, 2008 2:49 pm

    @zb,

    If Events Calendar is causing it, there could only be one place that could happen. That would be in ec_js.class.php.

    You can comment out the fifth line which is:

    “require_once(ABSPATH .wp-includes/pluggable.php’);”

    You might have a problem with Events Calendar after that though.

    Ron

  49. Earl on May 28th, 2008 10:09 am

    Is the version with language support soon to be released?

    As always; appreciating your job.

  50. Luke on May 28th, 2008 10:11 am

    It will be added but I have no time frame for this.

  51. Default on May 28th, 2008 8:00 pm

    If you use an apostrophe in your date entry (e.g. Jim’s birthday), the result is escaped when it shouldn’t be (e.g. Jim\’s birthday).

  52. Luke on May 28th, 2008 9:53 pm

    What calendar does it show up this way. Widget, Large Calendar, Admin Calendar…?

  53. Joop on May 29th, 2008 12:37 am

    Hey guys, any news on the disappearing Calendar issue?
    :-)

    Greetz,
    Joop

  54. ronbme on May 29th, 2008 9:49 am

    @Default,

    I believe you meant “title” entry and not “date”, since you can’t enter anything but a date in the date entry. I’ve tried an apostrophe and even double apostrophes and they show up correctly in every calendar. What browser are you using?

    @Joop,

    Since you took the calendar off of your site I was unable to view the source code. One other reason you might be having a problem is if the path is not set correctly.

    Ron

  55. Luke on May 29th, 2008 10:25 am

    The only apostrophe issue I saw was in the event list view. This has been fixed in the latest version.

  56. Joop on May 29th, 2008 11:08 am

    ?? What path are you referring to Ron?
    I Activated it again,it is online now

  57. ronbme on May 29th, 2008 1:02 pm

    @Joop,

    I was checking to see if you had WordPress installed in a separate directory. It looks like you don’t. This is probably the cause of your problem.

    When you click to go to the next or previous month, it goes back to your splash screen. (You can see that at the bottom where it says “Welcome to Galanor” which is where the calendar should be.)

    Also, when you click on the only event you have on the calendar, (May 24), it shows your splash screen instead of the event.

    The best solution would be to have installed WordPress in a separate directory where your siteurl would have been “www.galanor.com/wordpress”.

  58. ronbme on May 29th, 2008 1:31 pm

    @Joop,

    I have another question for you. Did you install this as a widget?

    Ron

  59. dmd on May 30th, 2008 5:55 am

    @ronbme

    Hi. I’d install events calendar as a widget and I have have installed WordPress in a separate directory. But Events Calendar continue disappearing. Can you help me? Thanks.

  60. Joop on May 31st, 2008 3:44 am

    @ronbme
    1.Yes I installed it as a widget
    2.I tried the dir solution, but to no avail/….

  61. ulisses on May 31st, 2008 4:51 pm

    Hello!
    I did the automatic download of version 6.3.2 by plugins and when noticed, the timing was not the colors on the dates scheduled, the months appeared not to the arrows to change the months appeared no more. I went back to the old version [6.3.1] and re-appear. You know the saying why?
    Thank you! [I know that Google is bad, I hope you have understood]

  62. Luke on May 31st, 2008 9:35 pm

    I am not sure what the issue is on that one. I have had it mentioned a couple times. I am looking into that issue now.

  63. ulisses on May 31st, 2008 11:40 pm

    I am I here again.
    Because the months turned automatically to June and the timetable does not show more my commitments and not the arrows below. Del in the directory and installed again. I also upgrading to the new version, but not satisfied. Buaaaaaaaaa ….
    What to do?
    And I apologize for writing so bad. Because I love this timetable.

  64. ronbme on June 1st, 2008 8:19 am

    @Joop,

    Do a “View Source” on this page and then do a “View Source” on your page (with the calendar).

    You will see that on your page everything about being a widget is missing. The other items you’ve got on that page are in textwidgets, but there is nothing to declare the Events Calendar.

    I still think the “path” is a problem but there are other problems keeping the calendar from displaying correctly.

    Ron

  65. ronbme on June 1st, 2008 9:37 am

    @Joop,

    Just to make it clear, here is the source code on your site to which I was referring:

    <h2>Calendar</h2><div id=”calendar_wrap”><table id=”wp-calendar”>
    <caption id=”calendar_month” class=”calendar-month”>June 2008</caption>
    <thead>
    <tr>

    And here is the source code on Luke’s site (and mine):

    <li id=”events-calendar” class=”widget EC_Widget_display”><h2 class=”widgettitle”>Calendar</h2>
    <div id=”calendar_wrap”><table id=”wp-calendar”>
    <caption id=”calendar_month” class=”calendar-month”>June 2008</caption>
    <thead>
    <tr>

    This is just to show what is missing in yours.

    Ron

  66. ulisses on June 1st, 2008 7:08 pm

    Yes, I noticed that lack the line “-events calendar” and as my theme is not widget, the “widget EC_Widget_display” does not appear (I believe)

    I was in the “plugin editor”, “Events Calendar”, and noticed that the first line had not “/” and the other does.

    define ( ‘EVENTSCALENDARPATH’, ABSPATH. “wp-content/plugins/events-calendar ‘);
    define ( ‘EVENTSCALENDARCLASSPATH’, EVENTSCALENDARPATH);
    define ( ‘EVENTSCALENDARURL’, get_option ( ’siteurl’).’/ wp-content/plugins/events-calendar’);
    define ( ‘EVENTSCALENDARJSURL’, EVENTSCALENDARURL. ‘/ js’);
    define ( ‘EVENTSCALENDARCSSURL’, EVENTSCALENDARURL. ‘/ css’);
    define ( ‘EVENTSCALENDARIMAGESURL’, EVENTSCALENDARURL. ‘/ images’);

    Placed “/”:

    define ( ‘EVENTSCALENDARPATH’, ABSPATH. ‘/ wp-content/plugins/events-calendar’);

    But nothing has changed. :-(
    In my “theme editor”, “sidebar.php”, the lines are placed as requested.
    [] Without []
    I do not know even what the problem might be happening, since the source code, featuring all the events that I put in the calendar.

    Advance, thank you for your disposal to help because I know that is quite complicated.

    Thank you. :-)

  67. Gabriel on June 2nd, 2008 1:32 am

    I’m having a problem with the Tool tip. When I hover over the mini calendar, the tool tip shows all the CSS code along with the title of the event. You can see a screen shot of the problem here:

    http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/219/tooltipbugon7.jpg

    (note, the mouse pointer doesn’t show up in the screen.)

    I’m using the sidebar command, since I haven’t widgetized my side bar. If I need to switch to the widget to avoid this problem, I’ll get to widgeting!

    All in all, fantastic plugin! Thank you so much for sharing it and making work press better for all of us.

    G–

    (note, I quickly put it in as a widget. That didn’t help, same tool tip bug.)

    I forgot to post a site link. Here’s a page with the bug showing. Hover the mouse over the 4th.

    Thank you again for your help.

  69. Gabriel on June 2nd, 2008 2:48 am

    ah ha! Figured it out. The akwpLightbox wordpress plugin is not compatible with the tooltip. When I remove that plugin, it’s all good.

    Thank you for the plugin, and please pardon the three quick messages.

    @dmd,

    If the Events Calendar keeps disappearing on you, there is probably a problem with your site path, or there could be problem with the theme you are using.

    Is the calendar on the home page of your site?

    Hello Luke,

    I am translating the plugin into Spanish but there are a few words I can’t find. To translate dates I am using setlocale(LC_ALL, ‘es_ES’, ‘es’) at the top of every script. It does the job, but the month selector (<>) still shows in English. I am not using the widget version, but inserting the code into the script.

    I would also like that the posts be created in a specific category different from the default. I modified ec_management.class.php, line 55, like this “, ‘post_category’ => ‘12′”, but that did not work. Where can I do this ?

    Thanks so much for your help.

  72. Gabriel on June 2nd, 2008 2:52 pm

    Actually, ditto to Guillermo’s question. How do I format the post category line to create the post in a specific category? For example, I need to create the posts in category #7. But, I have no idea how the category field is supposed to be formatted. I dug all through the wordpress.org site, but couldn’t find the specs on how to format that field.

    It’s line #55 in the ec_managementjs.class.php file. I tried this, but it doesn’t work:

    $data = array(
    ‘post_content’ => $output
    , ‘post_title’ => $title
    , ‘post_date’ => date(’Y-m-d H:i:s’)
    , ‘post_category’ => 7
    , ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’
    , ‘post_author’ => $wpdb->escape($this->blog_post_author)
    );
    $post_id = wp_insert_post($data);

  73. Gabriel on June 2nd, 2008 4:45 pm

    Guillermo, I just figured out the same category thing. The category values are passed in an array, so try this:

    define an array with the categories you want at the top of the function: (in this case, just category 12)

    $TempCategoryForPost= array(12);

    Then replace your line 55 with this:

    , ‘post_category’ => $TempCategoryForPost

    Good Luck!

    Hey Luke,

    Did a recent install and all is well. A previous version had an import function. Was wondering if iCal support was coming back? Or CSV?

  75. Richard Shay on June 3rd, 2008 12:55 pm

    I am trying to set up the calendar. It works fine, but when you create a page to go with an entry, shouldn’t the calendar entry let you go to the page? And it would be the same for the list entry. Both get the rollover effect (and it’s great) but would a user expect that clicking the calendar entry would take you to the page (if one exists)?

  76. David Cooper on June 4th, 2008 6:12 am

    Hi There,

    I am currently playing around with WordPress as an alternative to my current massively insecure PHP-Nuke site, and need a good events calendar that can display upcoming events in the sidebar … so this one is perfect. Except … I can’t get it to work.

    It installs and activates fine, but when I add an entry it just does not appear in the calendar or in the sidebar widget. On top of that the calendar refuses to change month when I click the links either in the sidebar or large calendar.

    It does however, add a post to the blog confirming the details of a new event if I check that box.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  77. zozo on June 5th, 2008 6:35 am

    I am disapointed that your plugin includes pluggable.php when called by WordPress. It is a bad manner to do so, because other plugins cannot override functions in the file. These functions are wrapped by “if (function_exists(…))”, and a plugin can define original functions with the same name.
    Please not to include pluggable.php when your plugin are called. I suggest that to include ec_js.php at init() fook.

  78. MichaelD on June 5th, 2008 1:28 pm

    Generally, this is a good plugin - a suggestion:
    text box in the admin panel for adding links to the event website. It can be done now using html, but it isn’t the cleanest or most dependable solution. Easiest thing would be just to set the link as the title with target blank

  79. Belinda Greenfield on June 5th, 2008 3:47 pm

    I’m new to wordpress and would like to use this calendar but I keep getting the following error and I’m not sure why:

    Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.kills/cnnc_web/cnnc-pgh.org/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 42

  80. pascal on June 6th, 2008 4:15 pm

    I’m trying to get the large calendar to link to the post generated for an event. I’ve tried getting the post id in ec_js.class.php like this:

    $post = $e->postID;

    then plugging it in down here:

    $(’#events-calendar-Large’).append(”<span id=\”events-calendar-Large\”><a href=\”?p=\”>“);

    The output is fine except that the postID is always missing. Any suggestions on how to get that? Also thanks for the best calendar plugin ever.

    So has anyone other than the poster given this a try, if so what was your result ?

  82. Gabriel on June 7th, 2008 1:39 pm

    Feature request: It would be nice to integrate the Archive calendar with this calendar. Maybe style the date number differently when there’s an up coming events an archive post.

    Other than that, thank you very much for the plugin!

  83. Dorothy on June 10th, 2008 4:33 am

    Hi Luke -
    I just downloaded 6.3.2 events-calendar, and am trying to use it with WP 2.5.1. I would love to see the sidebar calendar working. I don’t have a widget-enabled theme, but I added the line of php code from the readme. The calendar appears, but only current month.
    Any ideas?

  84. Paranoir on June 10th, 2008 7:43 am

    Heya.. I’m working with the latest calender, but I have this problem with the Database. I’ve tried a couple of times to insert an event, but it doesn’t show up.. Simply because the DB doesn’t exist.. It won’t create the DB.? Please help me with that.. Anyone have a SQL-Dump I could use?! Please?

  85. ronbme on June 10th, 2008 2:54 pm

    @Belinda Greenfield,

    You are getting that error because your host has the function turned off. You might contact them and ask them if they can provide an alternative.

    Ron

  86. ronbme on June 10th, 2008 2:56 pm

    @Paranoir,

    Try this one:

    The wp_ in the table name is the database prefix you set in your config file.

    CREATE TABLE “. wp_eventscalendar_main .” (
    id mediumint(9) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    eventTitle varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    eventDescription text NOT NULL,
    eventLocation varchar(255) default NULL,
    eventStartDate date NOT NULL,
    eventStartTime time default NULL,
    eventEndDate date NOT NULL,
    eventEndTime time default NULL,
    accessLevel varchar(255) NOT NULL default ‘public’,
    postID mediumint(9) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY id (id)
    );

  87. ronbme on June 10th, 2008 2:59 pm

    @David Cooper.

    Check your database and make sure the table exists first. If not, use the script I posted for Paranoir to create the table.

    Ron

  88. Ron on June 13th, 2008 6:01 pm

    I’d like a bit of help modifying the input screen if possible. I’d like to remove the calendar and only have the input fields. Is this possible?

    Read the list of requests and including links would be great. Amazingly cool would be to use the regular post text box with all the features it has.

    Thanks for any help.

  89. weblackey on June 16th, 2008 12:30 am

    Love the calendar, Luke… thanks.

    Got the sidebar widget calendar to look good in my theme, and things seem to work okay, except for one biggie… the calendar is set to the timezone of the server instead of the one set in WordPress preferences. I read a lot of the support comments etc., found one other person who experiences this glitch, but didn’t see this resolved. Can one of you WP/plugin gurus address this? The event calendar is an important part of the function for the organization I’m helping out here… thanks again.

    P.S. I poked around quite a while to find where to change some of the CSS to make things fit, so I echo the previous suggestion to put all the styling in one place/file ;-)

  90. Divvy on June 16th, 2008 3:28 pm

    Hi guys,

    Can someone help me?
    I have this plugin working ok, but the sidebar widget is not working 100%. For example, is not appearing the date of the event.

    Here is a screenshot of the widget:
    http://i31.tinypic.com/nve4hh.jpg

    And here is a screenshot of the event in admin:
    http://i28.tinypic.com/o7ikox.jpg

    Any solution for this?
    I am using Events Calendar 6.3.2 and Wordpress 2.5.1

    Thanks :)

  91. Shaked on June 17th, 2008 4:21 pm

    Hi, I really like this plugin, but can’t get it working. I want this calendar in my event page. I have 2 problems:

    - It only shows the current month and the -> for scrolling to a next or previous month are gone.
    - When I add an event in my admin section it does not display.

    I was looking for another plugin, but really like this one, so I hope somebody can help me.

    thanks in advance.

  92. NORCALLOVE on June 20th, 2008 11:51 am

    I just installed for the first time 6.3.2. and This is the plugin I have been looking for. for about 3 years… geez!!!! where have you been NE WAYS.

    1. The widget messes up my layout.. I think it has somthing to do with the JS. because when it does my pages JS doesnt work anymore.

    2. same thing with the LARGE calandar

    3. There should be a setting so other users cant set the options and only post events. any help would be great!!!!

    Thank you so much!!!

    Joe :)

  93. ronbme on June 20th, 2008 1:04 pm

    @Divvy,

    The reason it doesn’t show the date is that the event starts and ends on the date where the event is posted.

    The only time you are going to see a start date and an end date is when the event spans 2 days or more.

  94. ronbme on June 20th, 2008 1:08 pm

    @Norcallove,

    Have you checked your other plugins? You may have another one using JS which is affecting the Events Calendar. Two other plugins I know of are NextGen Gallery and CForms.

    You could deactivate your other plugins one by one to check.

    Ron

  95. ronbme on June 20th, 2008 1:15 pm

    @Belinda Greenfield,

    If you’re not afraid to add a little code, you could try the suggestion at this link:

    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/179911

    This is a workaround using cURL.

    Ron

  96. ronbme on June 20th, 2008 1:20 pm

    @Shaked,

    This could be your theme.

    Make sure you have the following in your theme.

    That should be before in your header.php file.

    You should also have the following:

    That should be in your footer.php file.

    If that doesn’t work, I would try another theme and see if the problem persists.

    Ron

  97. Norcallove on June 20th, 2008 1:32 pm

    Is there any way for It to work with both?

  98. Norcallove on June 20th, 2008 1:37 pm

    Because I use both of those plugins.. whats really weird.. is I had to de activate nextgen to activate cforms… then enabled cforms and they both work. now you said both.. so this plugin uses the same JS? im takin it? is there a work around? Thankx again for the help

  99. Norcallove on June 21st, 2008 6:26 am

    ok.. I disabled both cforms and NextGEN and still same problem.. I think my theme uses JS to… so I think It may interfer with something… Well hope to hear from you soon

  100. kingtechboy on June 23rd, 2008 5:26 am

    RE to post 92,94,97,98,99

    I have been working on this for about 4 full days. like 13hrs and I can not get why this plugin wont work with my theme… I will leave the page messed up so you can take a look at it and tell me why is the p;ugin messing up the sidbar location… I run both Cforms and NextGen.. but disabled both.. and still had the problem so I decided to disable all my plugins… the same problem the JS is not working correctly and a few errors come up. so I changed my theme back to the default one that came with wordpress… with all my plugins disabled.

    another test… I activated in this order
    1. Event calandar
    2. Cforms
    3. NextGEN

    with the default wordpress layout it all works… but that layouts gay. lol

    now with the them I am using. it is the theme “MANDINGO” that where the problem is… there I thought was somthing with the JS. but there is a way to disable the JS in the theme. There is still somthing interfering with EC. PLEASE HELP!!!!! PLEASE! i’ll take my knee. and beg!!!

  101. jenny on July 21st, 2008 12:48 pm

    I’m having a problem with the format of the date and time using the Jquery Date Picker. In the documentation, it says that the date is only affected by the Wordpress settings, but I have my Wordpress settings as Date Format: F j, Y (Output: July 21, 2008) and Time Format: g:i a (Output: 9:44 am), but the JS picker and subsequent post that is created show the date format as YYYY-MM-DD with a 24-hour clock (HH-MM). How can I change this? Thanks!

  102. sChen on July 23rd, 2008 9:00 am

    Can i display the events anyway in a extra page ?

  103. Samuel Bennett on July 30th, 2008 11:41 am

    Is there a way to change the links in the calendar? The wordpress documents are physically at my website/wordpress but the server is set up so that it appears to be at my website. It is intranet so it is not viewable outside the firewall. Thanks a lot.

  104. fornetti on August 31st, 2008 12:58 am

    I do not believe this
