I installed this plugin today and I love it so far. BUT, I have a couple issues I'm hoping someone can answer for me.
Time of Events is not showing up on the large calendar
How do a set a time format preference? (to 12 hour vs 24 hour clock)
Post event, does this just sort by the posting date or will it sort by event date? And is there anyway to make it automatically go into a specific category OR show up on the same page as the large calendar?
Loaded here: http://quadcitiesearlychildhood.com/events/
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I figured out why the time wasn't showing correctly... I replaced the 'g' with 'h' in the time setup.

2nd part of my question is still looking for a resolution.

kristine233,
It just sorts by the posting date because it is under control of WordPress after it is posted. The event date is just a part of the content of the post at that point.
Are you saying that you would want an option to have it go into a specific category?
Also, I think you are asking if you could have a separate page with the event posts sorted by event date. Is that correct?

Yes, that would be awesome if it was available. Example, using the calendar on a website to show community events: visitor could browse visual calendar or browse a list of events sorted by date. (Either on the same page or separate)
@kristine233,
There are changes constantly being made to the Events Calendar. Check back often for a new version and to see what has changed.
A visitor can browse the events list sorted by date now, if you have the sidebar widget set to event list. I think what you are suggesting is two widgets, one for the calendar and one for an events list on the same page. Is that right?
The post event, which is what I thought you meant, is different. That is possible to have those sorted by event date, but that would be different from an event list.

Using the way you mentioned as specified by the sidebar would work I guess. Is there a way to put that on one page (I'd use the same page as the large calendar) and not in the sidebar?
I'll be checking back frequently though, i like where this plugin is going. :)
@kristine233,
There is a way to include Event Posts under the large calendar on a separate page. This wouldn't be automatic though and you would have to enter a small bit of code to include each Event Post. (You would also have to install another plugin.)
I only mention this as a possibility if you needed that capability right away.

I figured it out without any extra plugins.
I created another option page theme for the Events Calendar page and put the Widgetized area under the calendar and then simply activated the list view in the widgets. Since I'm not using widgets elsewhere this works well for me. It wouldn't work for those who are using other widgets though.
Good! I looked at your site. Very nice.
At some point I imagine the Events Calendar will probably have more than one widget, so you might be able to do that in a sidebar, if needed.

I'm having the same first problem as you kristine233.

I didn't really understand your solution. Could you explain to me how you got the times to show up, and if you were able to use a 12 hour clock instead of a 24 hour clock. Thanks.

Okay, for some reason it's working now.
