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.

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).
What calendar does it show up this way. Widget, Large Calendar, Admin Calendar…?
Hey guys, any news on the disappearing Calendar issue?
Greetz,
Joop
@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
The only apostrophe issue I saw was in the event list view. This has been fixed in the latest version.
?? What path are you referring to Ron?
I Activated it again,it is online now
@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”.

@Joop,
I have another question for you. Did you install this as a widget?
Ron
@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.
@ronbme
1.Yes I installed it as a widget
2.I tried the dir solution, but to no avail/….
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]
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.
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.
@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
@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
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.
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.

(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.
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.
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);
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?
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)?
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.
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.
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
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
Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.cnnc-pgh.org/wp-content/themes/abstrakt3c/style.css) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/.kills/cnnc_web/cnnc-pgh.org/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 42
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 ?
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!
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?
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?
@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
@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)
);
@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
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.
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
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
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.
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
@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.
@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
@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
@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
Is there any way for It to work with both?
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
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
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!!!
