Single event widget – styling issues & date format

    I’m not sure if this plugin is still being actively maintained, but I spent some time with customizing the widget display yesterday and I ran into a couple of issues relating to styling and content of the “single event” widget.

    1. Would it be possible to make the date display an optional setting on the widget? Failing that, maybe the date could be optionally hidden on Meetup events with no date set? Meetup allows you to create an event without a date, but the widget just ends up displaying “January 01, 1970 @ 12:00 am” in that case, which looks pretty rough on the front-end.
    2. It would be great if all of the metadata fields of the event (i.e. headline, date, description, RSVP link) had CSS classes associated with their containing elements. Right now there’s no way to target any of those fields without some nasty :nth-child styles (all of them are wrapped in anonymous <P> tags except the headline.)
    3. Finally, could you allow the label text of the RSVP link to be customized (without having to hack or extend the plugin)? Right now I’m doing this using the :before pseudo-selector on the .rsvp-add a selector, which is also pretty painful and not particularly old-browser friendly.

    Thanks much!

    Cheers,

    Yeah, this plugin isn’t super-active, but I spent some time last night working on an updated version (2.2.0), so:

    1. Now if there is no date set, no date displays. There is a filter for text to show if there is no time ( vsm_no_date_text).
    2. I’ve added “event-*” classes to each item, so you can target them without jumping through CSS hoops.
    3. You can change the RSVP text (and any HTML, etc) by copying the meetup-single.php template down into your theme. There is no filter or UI setting for this, though if there’s interest I could add a filter in the next version.

    Hey Kelly, thanks much! Between your changes and finding about the meetup-single.php template (totally didn’t realize I could do that), I’ve been able to ditch all of those CSS hacks and things are way simplified.

    Appreciate the update!
