can someone resolve this issue, because both Register Plus and Events Calendar are wonderful plugins that any user would love to use! thanks!
i discovered a problem . when lightbox is activated the calander popups are not working.
Lightbox 2.02 Plugin and Events Calendar 6.4
Hello Luka,
Events Calender Plugin just works FINE!! It’s great and I love it.
Here 3 things that would just make the Plugin perfect!
You can edit the widget if its show as a calender or as an Event List, but both at the same time isnt possible. What a pitty. I’d love to have both. First the calender and directly below the events list.
It’d be great if you were able to chose if the week starts on Sunday or on Monday, because in Europe it is common that the week starts on Monday (1st working day of the new week).
Calender Widget: Clicking on a date with an Event “Click date for more details” you get a small info windows, but the font is Times New Roman or what…looks pretty ugly
Great Job!
Regards
Roland
Roland,
Regarding the day of week to begin the calendar: Have you checked the general settings in WordPress? Go to the bottom of that page and see what you have set for day of week to begin the calendar.
Ron
Hey – thanks for the great plugin work. How about adding recurring events for the next version? This would be helpful for example for birthdays or other events that happen yearly, monthly or weekly.
Thanks!
@ ronbme
I checked it, and it is of course set “monday”.
The Calender Widget in the sidebar shows Monday as first day of the week too, but if I set Start and End Date when adding an Event, then the popup (Javascript?) Calender begins on Sunday. This is a bit irritating and can cause failures when not looking carefully
Regards
Roland
Plug in is awesome, except I can’t get the Time Zone set correctly. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve deactivated, uninstalled, reinstalled, reactivated…still nothing.
To respond to numerous requests I have made available Events-Calendar v 6.4.1 (not yet an official version) on my brand new personal blog : http://heirem.fr
This version solve many problems of translation dates and times since it is based on a library of functions integrated into WordPress itself.
She brings with her 6 files languages: Czech, French, German, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish and soon the Bulgarian through Iv.
My blog is translated into 11 languages. You should find your own I think. Otherwise let me know;)
I am in contact with Luke which began to transfer to my account the Events-Calendar take over.

Hey is there any way to make the calendar show exactly where the [[EventsCalendarLarge]] is and not on the top of the content?
@Roland,
When using the popup (Javascript) Calendar make sure you click on the day you want the popup calendar to start. If you want it to start on Monday, click on Monday. It will start with Monday after that. If you ever want to change it to another day, just click on that day.

Hello,
How can I send my translation file to the developer plugin?
I did the Portuguese Brazilian translation.
Please, contact me at tecsite@gmail.com

I am having the same issue as Stefan. With the Event list, not date or time is showing up, just the event title.
Hey Luke
Had an interesting bug. I put htaccess user name and passwords on my blog directory, and as soon as i put this on, the calendar gave me this message.
Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.williecreekpearls.com.au/BLOG/wp-content/themes/the-glass-people-20/style.css): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required in /home/williecreek/www/BLOG/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 42
I did see there was a problem with this before, interesting though as soon as i remove the htaccess and htpasswd files, it works again?? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi there,
I am having a weird problem with the plugin. On one of the sites I installed it the dates do not match with the weekdays. For example 2nd August 2008 is Saturday but on the Events-cal it appears as Friday.
I tested on two other servers but there the dates are correct. I am not sure what the nature of that issue might be…
Here are some details about the problematic server:
* OS: Linux
* Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) PHP/4.4.8 mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.7a
* Hostname: stampingbella.com
* IP:Port: 72.52.163.195:80
* Document Root: /home/stamping/public_html
PHP
* v4.4.8
* GD: bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
* Magic Quotes GPC: On
* Memory Limit: N/A
* Max Upload Size: 20M
MYSQL

Here you can see a couple of screenshots:

And the live site URLs are:

http://test.druuf.com/wordpress/ <— running fine
Has anyone encountered something like that? I’d appreciate any help on the issue.
Thanks
First, thank you for creating the event calendar plugin.
I am trying to use it on a site for the first time, and the days of the week are not showing up across the top.
Can you tell me what may be the problem?
Thanks,
Kathy
Never mind, I found the solution. I changed the length of the day of the week on the options page from 3 to 9 and the days of the week appeared at the top of the calendar!
Great plugin!
Thank you!
Hi,
My FTP manager will not allow me to upload folder events-calendar. does not recognise it as uploadable, only the files within it. any suggestions?
Mark
I appreciate that you guys are the only ones developing any kind of actual working calendar for WordPress. I am in the process of transitioning from e107 to WordPress, and it has been a literal NIGHTMARE to get a calendar working.
I have three questions. I hope you guys get these.
1. I want to restyle the events list widget, and I have gone through the php with a fine tooth comb, still can’t figure out where you guys are calling the php date info from. I want to show the month (three letters) instead of the numeral representation of the month. I am still trying stuff out, but haven’t found it yet. Any suggestions?
2. I want to make the eventTitle have a permalink to the post for that event. Any suggestions?
3. Anytime I activate the widget, my website no longer validates. I can go through the code and fix this one, but it is more for you than for me.
Let me say again, that I appreciate your work and you guys are doing a great job. If you have any ideas for those 3, let me know.
Thanks again!

hello
it is a nice tool. However I can’t use it beacause dates remain in english.
IS there a way to set up french for the dates ?
is there a new release that will fix this issue ?
thanks and regards
etienne
hi guys… I’ve used ” ‘ ” instead of ” ´ ” and ” ` ” and it worked…
setlocale(LC_TIME, ‘cy_GB.UTF-8′);
might work…. i found out many more .po files here.. so you guys don´t need to spend a lot of time traslating it manually.

Hey there – nice plug in – simple to install and use
what css code affects the lightbox popup when you have the calander not list version running
cheers
@jsnock & Crupe
I ve the same problem….
“- my problem was the table was not being created in the database, so i created it manually and now all is well. hope this helps.”
but your solution can’t help me as it s can you tell us a bit more??
Hello all,
If you want or need the LAST version of Events-Calendar, including Bulgarian, Czech, French, German, Romanian, Serbian, Slovenian and Spanish translation files, you MUST go there : http://heirem.fr

@Manolo,
Here is a routine I posted before to create the table.
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)
);
Hi,
you have two little bugs in your plugin.
The first is the filter for the [[EventsCalendar]]. You have to escape the [ and ]:
function filterEventsCalendarLarge($content) {
if(preg_match(“/\[\[EventsCalendar\]\]/”,$content)) {
$calendar = new EC_Calendar();
$content = str_replace(“[[EventsCalendar]]”, $calendar->displayLarge(date(‘Y’), date(‘m’)), $content);
}
return $content;
}
Then, it would be good, when you replace date(‘…F…’) with strftime(‘…%B…’) for other languages.
Thanks.
Hi again,
you forgot to change the English word in the file “ec_js.class.php” from line 256 to line 268.
Then, I have create a German translation file from your plugin. It would be good, when you refer to my site: http://www.mi-schi.com/wordpress-events-calendar-deutsch/
Mi-Schi, I’m having the problems others are having with the table not being created.
When I used the code to create the table that you posted above I get this error:
There is a chance that you may have found a bug in the SQL parser. Please examine your query closely, and check that the quotes are correct and not mis-matched. Other possible failure causes may be that you are uploading a file with binary outside of a quoted text area. You can also try your query on the MySQL command line interface. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem. If you still have problems or if the parser fails where the command line interface succeeds, please reduce your SQL query input to the single query that causes problems, and submit a bug report with the data chunk in the CUT section below:

Sorry I meant the code that ronbme posted.
I’m not sure if something is wrong with my installation or if there are inherent problems with this plugin. It purports to do exactly what I want, but I’m having serious issues with it.
I just installed the Events Calendar, and added one event, which is next month. I used an Events List widget, and it doesn’t list the date. Plus, the tooltip is messed up (it renders HTML code). The long calendar displays the current month, but unlike the calendar setup page, it doesn’t have any options for “next month” and “previous month.” Since the one event I added is in September, the calendar is completely blank. Additionally, the big calendar does not appear where I put it. I put it below the text on my “Upcoming Events” page, yet it appears above the text.
Finally, and this is surely related to the various problems above, my site, which used to have both valid XHTML and CSS, now has numerous XHTML and CSS validation errors, all of which appear to come from the Events Calendar plugin.
I’m using WP 2.6 and Events Calendar 6.4. An illustration of all of the problems above can be found on http://www.vantagehoa.org/upcoming-events/

Hello !!!
For french days and months name, i force the setlocale instruction in events-calendar.php (line 40) with this :
setlocale (LC_TIME, ‘fr_FR’,'fra’);
and it works fine…
Hello.
just some suggestions, you might wanna add a function that records monthly or yearly occasions… =)
Hello all, i am new to this plug-in so let me know if what I’m asking has already been responded to. it didn’t seem to be…
the upgrade notes from version 6.3 say that when you switch months, the calendar no longer disappears…maybe that was referring to the big calendar. because when i try to browse back and forth months in the widget calendar, it indeed disappears, and i’m using 6.4.
someone i think was addressing a similar problem in luke’s latest post about someone taking over support, but there were no responses, and this seemed like a better place to raise the question.
any ideas?
Nevermind, figured it out. I currently have a placeholder html page (index.html) for people to see while I work on the real main page (index.php). I had to specify the index.php file as “home” in ec_js.class.php in the previousMonth click function.
Hello,
I am translating your plugin for Potuguese-Brazil
Already at this advanced stage of translation.

Thanks for helping
Hi. How do I put this inside a template page, not on a sidebar, but in my footer for example?
Assuming it’s something like: ?
Thanks
sorry, i assume it’s something like:
(without the spaces. it screws up the formatting here)
Hello Luke, thanks for this plugin. I used it before with a widgatized Theme, but now i have no widgets. I can’ bring down the code which shows only the events in a list, could someone help me, i’m not a beginner, but it won’t work.
Thx, h.c.
Hier hetzelfde laken een pak..
I put in many events but they don’t show up, not even the month before or after. Can’t go there? And on the big calendar shows this beneath it:
Warning: date() [function.date]: Windows does not support dates prior to midnight (00:00:00), January 1, 1970 in c:\domains\2m11.nl\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\events-calendar\ec_js.class.php on line 176

I do everything about HTML but not PHP
Oh and I’m running the newest Events Calendar and the Dutch WordPress versie 2.5.

maybe this problem is only under a windows Apache. Seems that the time is not outputed correctly..
Is there a way I can change the category that the events post to? Currently I see it always posting the event to the default category. I don’t want to specify a category for each event, just change the category that all events post to. Is it possible?
This plugin (like many plugins) has a problem with using any table prefix other than the standard wp_ – it will not create the table for you. If you need a different table prefix, manually create the table. Here is my table create script using my table prefix ngwp_
CREATE TABLE `ngwp_eventscalendar_main` (
`id` MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`eventTitle` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`eventDescription` TEXT NOT NULL ,
`eventLocation` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`eventStartDate` DATE NOT NULL ,
`eventStartTime` TIME,
`eventEndDate` DATE NOT NULL ,
`eventEndTime` TIME,
`accessLevel` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`postID` MEDIUMINT NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( `id` )
);
WordPress is now recommending that we use a different table prefix for our sites, so it’d be great if this issue could be resolved in the next plugin release.

Hey all,
I am implementing the large event calendar but I get this error “jQuery is not defined.”
The month and a small static calendar appear on the page instead of a large calendar with events. I had to create the database manually and the events appear within my database and the events calendar administrator screen.
Any suggestions?
Is there a way to have two installations of the plugin? I want to have two seperate calendars or possibly categories within the current calendar.
Is there anyway to repeat year of my event
What is the problem for this error given?
