Further requests.

hey bud, glad you like the plugin! Great to hear people around the world enjoying the work. Let’s see whats up…

I see what you mean about the paragraphs. You are looking for some basic HTML formatting, like paragraphs and bold and italics, where users could enter in richer formatting. Good idea. I’ll look into that further.

For the images, I’ve attached a class of “eomImage” to each image presented through the plugin. This way you can format your theme’s stylesheet with whatever dimensions you like for the images:

.eomImage{width:200px}

I’m looking into a way to add the reoccurring events without spamming event listings. Originally we set this up to make people put in a great event every week and keep down “set once and forget” recurring events, but we are looking to think of ways to add repeats or at least allow a select number of repeated events. Interesting solutions to this are welcome.

Anyways, keep me posted with your likes and dislikes and I’ll see what I can drop into the last release. Thanks for the message.

The main reason for the lack of formatting originally was to keep event description concise and to the point: brevity was key. We found that event promoters would tend to paste in huge blocks of text that would impair readability. I’m sure we could still limit text and offer a moderate amount of page formatting (or at the very least recognize line breaks as new paragraphs.

for the images, if you’d like them displayed to the right, re-size them appropriately and then float them to whichever direction you wish. Talk to your designer about this, but it would be as simple as adding a rule like this to your stylesheet:

eomImage{float:right;}

No, I’ll continue to be updating the EoM. No reason to discontinue development, as I’ve got some great things in store for it in the future. If you love it, remember to give the plugin a good rating in the plugin repository!
Thanks,
Matt
