• Hi,

    I have a lot of questions about this plugin, I’ll start with the most pressing one:
    I’m building a event calendar for exhibitions for different countries.
    I’d like to be able to create a menu in the sidebar (or elsewhere) to list the countries and being able to display a list of event depending on the country, then maybe narrow the search event more by selecting the city.

    Is it possible to do that with this plugin? If yes, how?

    Second question, I’d like to have a small monthly calendar in the sidebar, and when clicking on a day, the list of event for that day would display in the main content area. I couldn’t find a way to do that. Is it possible?
    Can I use another plugin that would work along with The Event Calendar?

  • Hi Sebastien,

    To do the first you will need to write a custom query. Totally doable if you know a bit of code. If not, you might want to hire a freelancer for an hour to get you that.

    The calendar widget is available in the events calendar pro version: http://bit.ly/axCxLs

    Hi Shane,

    I bought the pro version of the event calendar yesterday and replaced the free version with it.
    The previous entries were listed with the blog posts and when I switched to the pro version the plugin offered me the option to transfer those entries to Events, which I did. Some entries were lost in the process.

    Now, the list view doesn’t show any of the entries, yet they show up when I switch to grid view and I can see the single view for each entry when I use the permalink found in the post editor. Since it does’t work anymore when I click on an event in the grid view. Instead it sends me back to the empty list view.
    Is there a difference between the free version and the pro version regarding the template tags? I couldn’t see any.
    Is it possible that the problem comes from the categories? I created categories to assign to the events.
    How do I get to use the events categories? The documentation is very limited and I couldn’t find is anything about that. Is there a specific forum for the pro version that I couldn’t find?

    here is the code I’m using for the list view:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id="content">
    
    	<div id="main">
    		<div class="archiveCatTitle">
    			<ul class="calendarListButtons">
    				<li id="communitiesTag">Calendar</li>
    				<li class="calBtn spacer"><a class="calBtnOn" href="<?php echo events_get_listview_link(); ?>"><?php _e('Event List', $spEvents->pluginDomain)?></a></li>
    				<li class="calBtn"><a class="calBtnOff" href="<?php echo events_get_gridview_link(); ?>"><?php _e('Calendar', $spEvents->pluginDomain)?></a></li>
    			</ul>
    
    		</div>
    
    		<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    
    		<div><!-- post -->
    
    			<div class="eventArea">
    				<div class="eventInfo">
    					<?php if ( is_new_event_day() ) : ?>
    					<h3 class="eventCountryList"><?php echo the_event_city(); ?></h3>
    					<?php endif; ?>
    				</div>
    
    				<div class="eventShortDescr">
    					<div class="titleEventDescript"><?php the_title('<h2><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" rel="bookmark">', '</a></h2>'); ?></div>
    
    					<p><?php echo the_event_venue() ?></p>
    					<p class="eventAddress"><?php echo the_event_address() ?> - <?php echo the_event_zip() ?> <?php echo the_event_country(); ?></p>
    
    					<ul class="eventMetaContent">
    						<li class="eventDate">
    							<?php echo the_event_start_date( null, false ); ?> - <?php echo the_event_end_date( null, false ); ?>
    						</li>
    						<li>
    							<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="eventReadMore">read more</a>
    						</li>
    					</ul>
    
    				</div>
    
    			</div>
    
    			<div style="clear:both;"></div>
    		</div> <!-- End post -->
    
    		<?php $alt = ( empty( $alt ) ) ? ' alt' : '';?>
    		<?php endwhile; ?>
    
    		<div class="paginationEvents">
    
    			<div class="pPrevious floatLeft"><?php 
    
    			if( events_displaying_upcoming() && get_previous_posts_link( ) ) : ?>
    				<?php previous_posts_link( '<span>&laquo; Previous Events</span>' ); ?>
    			<?php elseif( events_displaying_upcoming() && !get_previous_posts_link( ) ) : ?>
    				<a href='<?php echo events_get_past_link(); ?>'><span><?php _e('&laquo; Previous Events', $spEvents->pluginDomain ); ?></span></a>
    			<?php elseif( events_displaying_past() && get_next_posts_link( ) ) : ?>
    				<?php next_posts_link( '<span>&laquo; Previous Events</span>' ); ?>
    			<?php endif; ?>

    			<?php endif; ?>

    		</div>
    	</div>
    
    <?php get_sidebar(calendar); ?>
    
    <?php get_footer(); ?>
