[Plugin: Events Calendar] 2 questions: Prev. & Next Month links? International dates? (20 posts)

    The links in the header for previous and next month don't work in LargeCalendar or in sidebar; I'm stuck with this month.

    Works in admin, though.

    I'd also like to use non-English names for months and days. I've translated the plugin to Swedish, but haven't got a clue what to do about months and days.

    Try switching themes. You can use the Theme Test Drive plugin if you don't want to switch your current theme. (You will be the only one to see the new theme.)

    Also, if you are seeing html in the tooltip when you cursor over a date with an event, then this is also theme related.

    You can also go to Luke's site (the plugin author) and cursor over his calendar. If everything is ok there, you can be sure it is your theme.

    I'm having the same problem. And I think your right about the theme. Trouble is we have a custom theme built by someone who doesn't work here any more. Any ideas what changes need to be made to the theme?

    No, actually I just switched themes rather than try to determine what was causing the problem. I might look into it though. I've been using the Theme Test Drive plugin to preview different themes and see what works and what doesn't.

    When I looked at Luke's site (the plugin author) I saw that the plugin was working. It doesn't highlight the current date though. I also noticed that he has two dates in April but I was unable to get more than one event date in May. I was able to get two dates in April.

    Right now I think there are some bugs and they might be related to WordPress ver. 2.5+. I have another WordPress site with ver. 2.3.3 and Events Calendar ver. 5.84 and it is working ok.

    Just wrote to my theme author to see if he could see what might be added or changed in the sidebar - haven't heard back - but maybe if we all did that a solution could come out of it for sharing.

    I am having the same issue where the entire calendar dissapears when you click on the next month when it is in the sidebar. Has this been fixed yet? I am working with a custom design I am currently making.

    I was having the following problems:

    1. The next month and previous month links were not showing up on the Large Calendar, though they were in the admin panel.

    2. My events were not showing up on the Large Calendar, but they were in the admin panel.

    I too am using a custom theme. Thanks to ronbme for suggesting the Theme Test Drive plugin. Sure enough, switching to the default theme solved the problem. To troubleshoot, I started replacing the default theme files with my custom theme files one by one, and testing the results using the Test Drive plugin.

    Solution:

    1. I had a style element that was hiding the previous and next month text. To fix this, I added the following CSS to my theme:

    #content #calendar_wrapLarge h2 span {
    display: inline;
    }

    2. In my header.php file, I had removed the following code:

    <?php wp_head(); ?>

    When I put it back in (just above the </head> tag) the events showed up on my Large Calendar again.

    I hope this helps others solve the problem. I don't believe there is any problem with this plugin.

    FYI I'm using WordPress 2.5.1 and Events Calendar 6.0.11

    @imagile,

    Thanks for sharing that. I'm sure that will help some of the other users.

    This did not help showing the forward and back months in the sidebar widget.
    ... any suggestions on what code to add to the theme css to get the months to show up there?

    ... i am a code-a-phobic and will need all the help you can provide!

    The code you added to the theme header was in my header already.

    Thank you!

    Also having and issue with the next/previous month in the sidebar. Clicking either causes the calendar to disappear except for the title bar. Theme is SunsetIdea 1.0.

    @atouk,

    This is fixed in version 6.3.1. (The latest version.) Please download and install this version.

    @scoophk,

    Try downloading and installing the latest version, 6.3.1. If that doesn't fix your error, post a message.

    Thanks

    I'm having a very similar problem to what has been mentioned here. My previous and next arrows show up on my theme, but are not functional. I am however, able to click on them in my admin panel. I went to Luke's site and his next and previous links work when I click on them. I also tried switching to the default theme, and it also did not work for me. I am using the most recent edition of the plugin. I'd love any suggestions, as I am trying to get this calendar up and running for a client by the end of tomorrow.

    Thanks!

    @farbror77,

    I'm working on tranlating this plugin. I past over all the code and add the __( et _e( at the front of each english terms. I tried to communicate with the developpers, to let them know that I'm doing it, but no success. I'll let you know when I'm done with it.

    I also add the option to have the calendar and the list in the sidebar.

    I have a fresh install of Wordpress 2.6 and Events Calendar 6.4

    As stated in previous posts, whenever I click on the previous/next month links, I get a blank page.

    www.pikespeakashrae.com/calendar

    However, in the admin, it works fine.

    I did try adding the css code suggested by imagile (I already had the <?php wp_head(); ?> in my header.php), with no luck.

    Any other ideas I could try?

    As I stated in another thread from earlier today:

    "For everyone who is using version 6.4.x of Events Calendar and have been having trouble with the Previous/Next links at the bottom of the sidebar widget, I have came across the solution, at least for my WP install.

    Under Options, just enter the number "1" (no quotes) in the "Length of day names in Widget Calendar". That will generate both the Previous/Next link at the bottom and the "S M T W T F S" day labels at the top of the calendar.

    The problem was that the Length field is empty (giving a value of 0) by default.

    Let me know if this works for your site as well."
