    I got in the same situation as nikkio.. I’ve translated it to my language, but the dates are still on english..
    Hope there will be a fix for this soon.. :)

    Hi
    great plugin. I am using the “event list”. all is working fine. only the date of the events will not appear in the sidebar. I am using WP2.5.1 and your latest version. any ideas??

  6. LoGraYThS on June 30th, 2008 9:32 pm

    Hey there…

    This is a wonderful plugin for my capoeira website, I can announce the schedule for the incoming events of my group.

    But I’m having the same problem as -nikkio-:

    Translated to Spanish and the only thing that is not displaying in spanish but english is the Widget Calendar List on event rollover.

    What else is needed to display it in my language?

    Hope you can give us answer soon.

    Greetings and thanks for your great work!

    Juanjo

    Hi
    great plugin, but I have the same problem as nikkio. I can not translate the calendar in french.

    Is there an operation to be done to activate the file
    .Po and .Mo?

    Hope there will be a fix for this soon… :)

  8. Heirem on July 1st, 2008 7:06 am

    @Pasqua, to activate .po and .mo you need to use poedit.exe (http://www.poedit.net). Before translate, delete .mo, copy and rename ‘events-calendar-fr_FR.po’ in something like ‘events-calendar-it_IT.po’ for italian. Open this file with Poedit, and dont forget to configure the catalogue in. Recording the .po generate the .mo ;)

  9. Heirem on July 1st, 2008 8:24 am

    @NorCalConnection, in the file ec_management.class.php, line 58 ; change
    “, ‘post_status’ => ‘draft’”
    by
    “, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’”

  10. Mor on July 1st, 2008 9:02 am

    Hello,

    Awesome plug in. Very easy to use and effective. I installed it on http://www.potomacoakscondos.org and get this error :
    “Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.potomacoakscondos.org/wp-content/themes/spotlight-13/style.css) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /home/morvimme/public_html/potomacoakscondos/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 42″

    Any idea why it happenes and how I can fix it?

    Thanks,
    Mor

  11. Heirem on July 1st, 2008 10:47 am

    I spotted some problems with internationalization. To do some tests correct them, I need langages files (events-calendar-xx_XX.po). From different languages of french and english of course. You can send them to me : rmalkafr@yahoo.fr. Thank you in advance. Heirem

  12. Heirem on July 1st, 2008 10:51 am

    When browsing months in the calendar Widget does not appear, it is possible that you have not deactivated the plugin before updated it. To solve the problem you can deactivate and reactivate it. For me, this solution worked on a test site;) Heirem

  13. Heirem on July 1st, 2008 10:57 am

    Another tip: Make sure there are no fields blanks in the events calendar options ;) Heirem

  14. triffen on July 1st, 2008 1:00 pm

    I have been having the same problems as Mor. I have gone through and reset everything (deactivate/reactivate, changed and reloaded the options, etc). I saw no change in my error (in the same place), see below.

    Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.jezabel/lartech/larson-tech.com/james/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php on line 42

    I used the previous version and loved it. I am looking forward to having this one working.

    Thank you,
    triffen

  15. triffen on July 1st, 2008 1:06 pm

    I have been doing a little messing around with this, and discovered that the error I am receiving only happens when I am using the small calendar option on the sidebar. When I change to events, it looks good.

    Needless to say, adding an event doesn’t seem to get rid of the error messages.

    triffen

  16. pasqua on July 1st, 2008 4:42 pm

    thank you for your prompt response. I’ll try…

  17. ronbme on July 2nd, 2008 8:24 am

    @triffen

    The reason you are getting that error is that the function is disabled on your server. There is a workaround put out by Ian72 on the WordPress forums. Here is the link:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/179911

    You will need to use this.

    Ron

  18. ronbme on July 2nd, 2008 8:36 am

    @Stefan,

    Are you referring to the info in the tooltip when you cursor over the event? The date will not show up there. Neither will the time, unless you put in a specific time.

    The date should show along with the title of the event
    in the event list.

    Ron

  19. ellen on July 2nd, 2008 4:15 pm

    great calendar! but i’m searching for this: can you make 2 dropdown menus so a visitor can choose the month and year?

  20. Joshua on July 4th, 2008 3:56 pm

    I cannot get my calendar to change months when I click them on the calendar page that is public. The admin one works fine but i just cannot get it to be able to browse months on the public side only the current month. I am not getting any error messages. I had same problem with previous version of plugin. I disabled and deleted previous plugin before installing new one.

  21. mdiehl on July 5th, 2008 5:41 am

    Thanks for the great plug in. I sent the translation files for german to Heirem and hope they help. The name for the months and days seem to be definded in the java script applets in the js folder.
    Since there is no localisation for these files one has to translate them by hand and overwrite the original ones. I didnt try that out by now, just a hint for those who were asking for that.

  22. Earl on July 5th, 2008 12:11 pm

    @mdiehl,

    I just tried that, but it didn’t work :-(

  23. Mjkhl on July 6th, 2008 1:59 pm

    Hello,
    first - thanks for cool plugin. It is very usable.

    Second - I have same issue as other guys here - I’ve translated the po to Czech, but MONTH NAMES and DAY NAMES remains ENGLISH…
    Whole plugin, admin background is translated, but month and day names REMAINS ENGLISH.

    I even hardly edited .mo file using vi and then recompiled it using poedit (cause in poedit you cannot edit day and month names in those mo/po’s)- after recompiling po - month and date names are still in English!

    Even if I translate original strings, it remains English, even in plugin folder there is no other file containing strings like “Monday”, “May” etc.
    (I originally thought that the names are taken directly from po - thats why I was trying to edit original name strings too)

    I was seeking for a way, how is plugin getting day and month names but I am not a programmer and I wasn’t able to find it.

    I also have my Czech .mo and .po’s, if you want to add it to your repository, I will send it to You :)
    Thanks, buddy, for great work, I hope that sam fix will appear soon.

  24. Heirem on July 7th, 2008 5:34 pm

    Hello all,

    I have received the files .po for Spanish, German and Czech. Thanks to Juanjo, Matthias and Mijk. So dont send your files if you are involved in one of these languages.

    However, if you work in another of these languages, other than french too ;), then please send me your language file also contained in the directory “wp-content\languages” from Wordpress. And also WPLANG and DB_CHARSET defined in your wp-config.php. Thank you in advance.
    .

  25. Mjkhl on July 8th, 2008 11:48 am

    IMHO Heriem thought ‘/wp-includes/languages’ instead of ‘/wp-content/languages’ ;)

  26. Mjkhl on July 8th, 2008 12:40 pm

    In future vesion, I would like to kindly ask Luke to hardcode date and file names into an array inside the plugin’s .php to fix the localisation issue.
    Thanks, brave developer :)
    In side of CformsII this is the most useable plugin for WordPress, which have I ever seen ;) You have five stars

  27. maker on July 8th, 2008 2:30 pm

    hi, very nice work, but where is the large calendar for the users? /calendar does not work…
    thx

  28. Sean Bryant on July 10th, 2008 11:27 am

    I have resolved the problem with the widget calendar disappearing when you hit the next and previous months. Actually Luke, you can probably replace this in your general release.

    For those of you who are having problems with the next and previous buttons with the sidebar widget, it seems to be a problem with web hosts not allowing file_get_contents command. You can resolve this by editing ec_calendar.class.php and replacing the following line:

    $ecData = file_get_contents($ecFile);

    with this code:
    // to replace file_get_contents
    $ch = curl_init();
    $timeout = 5; // set to zero for no timeout
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $ecFile);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
    $file_contents = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    // display file
    $ecData = $file_contents;

    //$ecData = file_get_contents($ecFile);

  29. Ron on July 11th, 2008 7:46 am

    Localization of dates:

    In eventscalendar.php on line 40, there is

    setlocale(LC_TIME, $setloc);

    Change $setloc to you locale. In my case that is nl_NL. Now it works for me.

  30. Mjkhl on July 11th, 2008 2:49 pm

    for Unix hostings change to:

    cs_CZ.UTF-8
    (your your locale - fr_FR, cs_CZ, ru_RU and your codepage - UTF-8, ISO-8859-2 etc.)
    For proper showing in languages with other, than ISO-8859-1 characters in their codepage (many langs) is also needed to get rid of all htmlentities()
    in “ec_calendar.class.php” - this instruction is converting characters to HTML entities - for example “é” character it converts to “é”, which is resulting in wrong interpretation of glyphs. I also don’t think there is need to sanitize locales.

    - after this modification it works for me very well in Czech language, which has 15 more glyphs than ISO-8559-1

  31. jeanmarc on July 13th, 2008 1:34 pm

    wordpress 2.51 in french
    unable to make events calendar work in french, either in widget or big calendar. but nextgen gallery, simple press forum and zdstats work correctly in french

    can you help me please (I tried also to change $Setloc by “fr_FR”)

    no results

  32. Mjkhl on July 13th, 2008 3:50 pm

    try to use this patch, backup your original files first!

    If still not working, try to change .UTF-8 in events-calendar.php on line 40 to your codepage,.ISO8859-1 ?

    Thanks, Luke and Heirem! With this patch it works fully translated for me now.

  33. Hedd Gwynfor on July 14th, 2008 5:54 pm

    I’ve translated into Cymraeg/Welsh using Poedit, and have uploaded the two following files to events_calendar/lang:

    events-calendar-cy_GB.mo
    events-calendar-cy_GB.po

    I’ve also changed the following in eventscalendar.php

    setlocale(LC_TIME, $setloc);

    to

    setlocale(LC_TIME, ‘cy_GB’);

    But everything is still showing in English for me. What else do I need to do?

  34. Henrik on July 15th, 2008 8:54 am

    Hi could you please fix this:
    *******************************
    Bad Form Plugins

    These plugins have included the ‘wp-includes/pluggable.php’ file directly, which is bad form and usually cause all pluggable functions to be inaccessible to other plugins. Because of this, the function wp_new_user_notification(); cannot be overridden by Register Plus and all notifications will be WordPress defaults. These plugins should be fixed by their author to conform to WordPress standards to allow other plugins to function properly.

    * Events Calendar ( Plugin | Author)

    If you are the author of any of the above plugins and have any questions about the conflicts please send me an email and I would be happy to work with you to get things working together.

    hello, i have problem, when i want to write new event, i can’t see it after in calendar, i think i have a problem with sql, i don’t see the table create in database.
    do you have a script to create it ? or is the problem different ?

  36. Mjkhl on July 15th, 2008 11:05 am

    Hedd Gwynfor: once again: change
    setlocale(LC_TIME, ‘cy_GB’);
    to
    setlocale(LC_TIME, ‘cy_GB.UTF-8’);

  37. Andrew on July 16th, 2008 6:22 am

    I cannot get the months browsing function to work in the EventCalendar widget. I am stuck on the current month. I am using the latest version of the widget. Please advise!

  38. Heirem on July 16th, 2008 12:36 pm

    Hello all !

    The problems that you have all met with the Wordpress plungin of Luke Howell, that I updated for the internationalization, came from PHP functions somewhat … capricious! Like set_locale() ;)

    I returned to work and I changed approach. I am based on the method internal Wordpress for translations of dates.

    From my side everything is working properly. But I know it means nothing and that what I do has to be tested in your respective languages.

    I am ready to send this test version to whom want. This to carry out tests and any necessary corrections.

    Four languages are available in addition to English: French, German, Spanish and Czech.

    If you practice a language other than these, nothing prevents you from making a translation. It’s very easy with the free software PoEdit.

    To do this, just write me: rmalkafr@yahoo.fr

    Cordially
    Heirem

  39. Jmason on July 16th, 2008 3:28 pm

    hello,
    I installed the plug-in and if i create events, they post ok. But, they don’t show up on the calendar and the dates don’t change to indicate there is an event on that date. I have PHP and mySQL with WP 2.6 installed on IIS6.0. any thoughts?

  40. Anja on July 16th, 2008 7:13 pm

    How to translate event calendar:

    1. Find events-calendar.php in your event calendar plugin.

    2. Go to line 40

    3. If you speak Danish, change $setloc to $da_DK. If you don’t, find out what your codes are. If you installed Wordpress in your own language, it’s mentioned in wp-config.php line 22.

    4. Download poedit at poedit.net and install it.

    5. Find events-calendar-fr_FR.po in your event calendar plugin. Download it.

    6. Open the file with poedit. Translate the French stuff into your language instead.

    7. File > Save as … Save your translation as a po-file and a mo-file. If you speak Danish, name them events-calendar-da_DK.po and events-calendar-da_DK.mo

    8. Upload them to where they came from in your event calendar plugin.

    9. Deactivate and then activate the event calendar plugin.

    Now it should work. Go to your event calendar admin-area to see if it’s in your language.

    This does not translate the days and months. Haven’t figured out how to do that yet…

  41. Machi on July 17th, 2008 3:26 am

    Hi, Heirem please are you able to send me a Czech localization file to machala.jakub[/at\]gmail.com? thanks…

    And another two problems I have:
    1) The start and end time in popup isn’t showing. I disabled all plugins but it still didn’t work. I’m running WP 2.6, so maybe that is the problem? Look at it by yourself: http://www.uherskohradistsko.cz/kalendar-kulturnich-akci/ (I’ve just activated Shutter plugin, but it shouldn’t be any problem).

    2) One small suggestion. I need a simple function, another field (such as Location, Description) for HTML link to any location (eg. WP post). And if admin use this field, the event title should be clickable to set location. What do you think about it? A haven’t found any solution how to do it. If I use HTML in title field, it’ll break :(

    Your plugin is awesome, thanks for great work. Machi

  42. Diego on July 17th, 2008 2:50 pm

    Heirem:
    I’m very interested in testing your new version of the Events Calendar, I have the Spanish version of wordpress.
    Cand you send it to me?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Diego Stilman.

  43. JSnock on July 17th, 2008 5:26 pm

    This plugin sounds like it’s the one for me, but when I add an event it doesn’t show up on the big or widget calendar. I’ve tried updating, then deactivating and reactivating the plugin, but it still doesn’t appear. Any tips? Thanks!

  44. Heirem on July 19th, 2008 5:39 pm

    Hello all,

    The localization update of Events-Calendar that I produce has been tested successfully by Mijk, Jakub, Diego and Michael. As none of us has encountered problems I proposed to Luke its dissemination. But I have not yet received a response from him. It may be on vacation;)

    I do not know how to provide this version to all those who desire. Neither course file in the directory of WordPress plugins. I send it to anyone who asked me (rmalkafr@yahoo.fr). But if you have a better idea, I am taker!

    Best Regards
    Heirem

  45. ozi on July 20th, 2008 4:08 pm

    hi,

    i translated the .po file but i seem to have some troubles with editing the .php files.
    i can not have it (the plugin) to accept my new language.

    i tried editing the line 40 but no luck!
    if anyone is interested i translated it in to slovenian…

  47. Crupe on July 21st, 2008 6:12 pm

    hello,

    i’m having the same problem as JSnock, whenever i add an event nothing happens. it doesn’t display under the events-calendar section in wp-admin or the large calendar in my post. if i choose the option “create post for the event” it does that, but doesn’t display anywhere else. i’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, same thing. any thoughts?

  48. Crupe on July 22nd, 2008 9:35 am

    @jsnock

    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.

  49. Andy on July 22nd, 2008 2:51 pm

    Quick question. Everything working fine but when I click on a date “for more detail” I get the time/locale, etc. I’ve used the “create a post” option in which I’ve provided more detail (summary of event, photo, etc.) Is there a way to link from the “more detail” page directly to the post? thanks.

  50. Heirem on July 23rd, 2008 7:29 am

    Hello everybody,

    I recall that I have produced a new version of Events-Calendar (v6.4.1), which is stable and has been successfully tested by those who have asked me (rmalkafr@yahoo.fr).

    I sent this version to Luke Howell, I’ve even proposed to take over the plugin and its support with. But I have not yet received a response from him. It is perhaps he is in hollydays on a beautiful beach, surrounded by beautiful women! ;)

    Those who want the latest version of the plugin must for the time ask me by email. Pending agreement with Luke I can distribute it on a blog.
    Best regards
    Heirem

  51. Philip on July 24th, 2008 10:13 am

    can someone resolve this issue, because both Register Plus and Events Calendar are wonderful plugins that any user would love to use! thanks!

  53. Roland on July 25th, 2008 7:19 am

    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

  54. ronbme on July 25th, 2008 3:39 pm

    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

  55. Frank on July 27th, 2008 4:18 am

    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!

  56. Roland on July 27th, 2008 12:07 pm

    @ 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

  57. Nola Cooper on July 27th, 2008 12:33 pm

    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.

  58. Heirem on July 27th, 2008 5:45 pm

    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.

  59. Igor on July 28th, 2008 7:36 am

    Hey is there any way to make the calendar show exactly where the [[EventsCalendarLarge]] is and not on the top of the content?

  60. ronbme on July 28th, 2008 9:50 am

    @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.

  63. Aaron on July 30th, 2008 2:42 am

    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
    * v4.1.22-standard-log
    * Maximum No. Connections: 400
    * Maximum Packet Size: 1023 KiB
    * Data Disk Usage: 3.7 MiB
    * Index Disk Usage: 484 KiB

    Here you can see a couple of screenshots:

    And the live site URLs are:
    http://stampingbella.com/blog/?page_id=389 <— with issue
    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

  66. Kathy on July 30th, 2008 11:30 pm

    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!

    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

  70. revdenis on August 3rd, 2008 10:43 pm

    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.

    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

  74. ronbme on August 5th, 2008 7:54 am

    @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)
    );

  75. Mi-Schi on August 5th, 2008 2:44 pm

    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.

  76. Mi-Schi on August 6th, 2008 4:15 am

    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/

  77. John Deszell on August 6th, 2008 9:22 pm

    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.

  79. Erik Harris on August 8th, 2008 1:32 pm

    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/

  81. Okimi on August 10th, 2008 5:07 pm

    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…

  82. Donal on August 11th, 2008 6:19 am

    Hello.
    just some suggestions, you might wanna add a function that records monthly or yearly occasions… =)

  83. Jake on August 11th, 2008 8:21 pm

    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?

  84. Jake on August 12th, 2008 10:17 pm

    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.

    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.

  89. 2m11 on August 19th, 2008 8:10 am

    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.

    Toedels

  90. Hagbard.celine on August 19th, 2008 10:37 am

    maybe this problem is only under a windows Apache. Seems that the time is not outputed correctly..

  91. Veronica.K on August 22nd, 2008 8:57 pm

    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?

  92. Mark Cahill on August 23rd, 2008 12:19 pm

    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?

  95. Veronica on August 29th, 2008 1:12 am

    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.
