Thanks.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] Images exported to the feed are incorrectly namedShould be solve in the release 1.1.
could you forward me a link of the ESS feed where this problem happends?
ThanksForum: Plugins
In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] A suggestion: add original event URIIt makes completely sense from the event provider to also control that a link is added within the feed they’ve create to get an SEO improvement and back-link.
I’ve made an update, available in the release 1.2 with this option.
Thanks for the comment!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] MORE tag is stripped – a mistake?I’ve removed the restriction on placing comments on the description.
The validator function that handle this restriction is on
FeedValidator.php:1110in
function stripSpecificHTMLtags()where you can leave or strip the tags you want.
For security reason, I would leave those restriction if you syndicate to unknown events sources.So in the next release the comments will be by default, leaved as they are if they are present.

In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] The feed is doubling the eventsYes, it was already done.
The ESS library that create the feed comes from another open source repository:
https://github.com/essfeed/php-essYou can also edit it to fix bugs or make improvement, once the modification you’ve made are published on GitHub they will be automatically available on the next release of every software that use this library (e.g. this ESS WordPress plugin among others).
If you have knowledge in Java the library is not done:

In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] End date is wrongly decodedMmm, ok you’re right, this one is a real bug not an improvement.
W’ve placed seconds as default unit because we live in a decimal world but in the events world hours takes more sense.
I’m going to fix it in favor of ‘hour’ for every durations.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] Event syndicationHi Jack,
placing the events aggregated as automatically published can be a bit risky if you’re not 100% sure of the origine.It’s on the TODO list to place an option to explicitly says that an aggregated feed have to be daily updated with the status = “published” automatically.

In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] Suggestion: Category mapping table.Hi Bill,
The “categories” side will be a next big part of development for the ESS plugin.
The mapping table you are talking about can be a bit confusing. It is a good idea, we will think about a way of connecting events between them.We are now more thinking about placing a list of predefined event’s categories on the event editing page. (e.g.: sports, education, business, theatre, …) coming from the mains events listing websites (eventbrite, meetup…) additionally to your own categories.
so you can group and connect your events by global names and so can do search engines with your events !

In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] MORE tag is stripped – a mistake?Hi,
it doesn’t surprise me that through all the controlling processhtmlspecialchars,strip_tag,urlencodethe comments are striped out from the feed and it takes sense.If you figure it out, it can add invisible text to the feed aggregator websites that the final user doesn’t want to have.
if you have a suggestion for something specific we can talk about it.

In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] Event excerpt is copied across events on importeffectively, good remark.
it’s on the next release.
Thanks.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] End date is wrongly decodedHi,
it takes sense to use the ‘unit’ if it is provided within the feed.
The point is that the ‘unit’ attribute is not mandatory in the ESS DTD for events that are not ‘recurrent’. So in almost all the cases ‘unit’ will be empty.I’ve placed a string estimation to use the ‘unit’ attribute for duration calculation if it is provided but if not, use the hard coded ‘seconds’ for the ‘strtotime’ calculation.
Thanks for this report. Like your other reports, they all takes sense.

In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] Finding event category by slug is not always a good ideaHi,
I see your problem.., it’s a sounds a good idea to do the matching with the name. I’ve replaced the evaluation script with ‘name’ instead of ‘slug’.
As it only concerns languages with special chars it shouldn’t disturb other websites.The fix will be published in the next release.

In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] ESS Feed incorrectly shows URLHi,
I’ve look closer to your bug report and I’ve placed the fourth parameter as you suggested to False with the ENT_QUOTES constant:
$nodeText .= htmlspecialchars( $tagContent, ENT_QUOTES, self::CHARSET, FALSE )we have to leave the
htmlspecialcharsbecause in some cases the XML file can’t be displayed if the chars & in not properly encoded as &Thanks for your report.

In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] Error while syndicating feedsHi,
I have checked your issue, It seems that your PHP version is < 5.3.0
http://us.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.count.phpI’ve placed a version controller to evaluate which
count()to do.
Thanks for your comment, your explanation was very useful.
