In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] Imported Event tags are just numbersHi bill,
I get the problem you’re mentioning. The connection to get the category or the tag is made by the ID so if the event doesn’t come from the same website it can generate confusion with other existing IDs, even if normally it shouldn’t.
I’ll take a look on it and do a fix to prevent to display a tag that doesn’t exits or doesn’t match the exact name.
Thanks for the bug tracking.
Hi webmystery,
you’re definitively right.
This will be done in one of the next release.
For now, events can only be subscribed through the event_id, ex:
http://artvallejo.org/?em_ess=1&event_id=1we will do an additional optional parameter to select the events by category, ex: &cat_id=xx
Thanks for the suggestion, it can be useful to broadcast events to search engine grouping them by categories.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] What's this link to Hypecal?Hi webmystery,
Hypecal is the website that use the ESS feed to help you to promote your events. The ESS WordPress plugin submit your events to Hypecal and to other search engines when you publish them.
The ESS feed with all your events is here:
http://artvallejo.org/?em_ess=1This feed can be read by Google or Yahoo among others to know that your event exists.
Your events appears, once validated in Hypecal, (and automatically updated) ex:
http://www.hypecal.com/event/vallejo/comedy/empress-theatre/comedy-at-the-empress-theatre-presents-andrew-norelli/1749494/Events can also be searched by city, ex “Vallejo, US”:
http://hypecal.com/search/?ct=Vallejo&co=USWe will clarify that, it can be confusing.
ESS is an open-source XML feed that benefits to all events publishers.
Hypecal with its upcoming mobile app is one of the events publishers promotion channel.Forum: Plugins

In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] Error in creating feed (strange characters?)Hi Bruce,
I understand why some of you get this error with strange characters that can’t be encoded in XML.
I write the tech details, in case someone get the same issue.
PHP version < 5.4 don’t have the XML handler ENT_XML1 that converts unauthorized chars like & < > into & or <Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Events Manager ESS] Error in creating feed (strange characters?)Hi Bruce,
We’ve placed a bug tracking and I saw your error in our console.
I have comited an update to force the script to prevent showing any PHP comments.
As I don’t arrive to replicate this issue, can you update the addon to see if it works now for you.Another important thing, I also saw in the Search Engine Push that the event you’ve sent was without location, it makes it hard to find by search engines.
The events location is to define within Events Manager events description page.We will do a warning message in the next release.
