Hi Sprowt —
Yes, I created all the venues before creating the events. The editor shows them all properly, and I have no trouble selecting and assigning one.
This is just using the native display code: The link I show takes you to the standard list view of our calendar, which shows the venues. If you click on one of the events, it goes to the standard event page. That *does not* show the venue. I’ve examined the html source generated for the page and it’s not present at all. The JSON data *is* present for the add-to-calendar buttons, so the lookup for the venue is actually working.
This is with the free version, so I cannot submit a ticket.

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] Button next/previous issue in pageI couldn’t switch themes because the entire site was based on the numbers theme (which we bought).
I could, however, install the jQuery updater, and activating it seems to have solved the problem.

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] Button next/previous issue in pageI’ve got the same problem. Links show, but do nothing.

Both the grid and the list view are referencing the same feed, so the feed is clearly working, but the next/back buttons aren’t working.
This is the code I’m using on the page:
[gcal id="1174" display="grid" paging="true" ] <hr /> [gcal id="1174" display="grouped-list" interval_count="365 " interval="days" offset_interval_count="14" offset_direction="back"]This is using a commercial (paid) template.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Admin (Librarian) Clear Hold Function?Oh — an addendum. By “low volume” I mean only 6-10 books each month. So that is actually small enough that the requestors just come up to the library table at the club meeting and tell the librarian which book they requested.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Admin (Librarian) Clear Hold Function?It is possible to backdoor to the holds page after logging in as the generic user (I did not disable the function, just hid the links) to release holds.
Our books are only checked out/returned once a month at the clubs meeting, and volume is low, so I think this might be the best compromise I can come up with at the moment. *
I am also going to offer individual WP userids for frequent library users, just as you suggest. That occurred to me this morning even before I saw your reply.
An administrative tool for releasing holds might still be a useful feature.
*in case you think I’m exaggerating the problem, many of the members don’t understand why I have to change the password regularly, and several still haven’t figured out how to download our monthly newsletter now that we don’t send it out as an actual email attachment. I have to walk a tightrope as I add new features to our site to avoid making it unusable for the less savvy members. Your library tool is head and shoulders above our previous system, I just need to keep the front end a little simpler for the general members.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Admin (Librarian) Clear Hold Function?Believe me, I considered doing that. This technique is a giant step up from the old way of accessing “members-only” info on the site, which was via a simple, infrequently updated htpsswd file. Asking every member to have a WP user account was briefly considered and dismissed by the club board of directors.
Our club registration system *does* automatically create a patron ID for each member, and the librarian does check the items out to the appropriate patron when they pick up the items, and check them back in on return.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Non-logged in "Hold" request button?A quick update — I made a first attempt, creating a patron named Web Request, and modifying the short_codes.php file to set patronid to the number corresponding to that and display the hold request button.
That worked to make the button appear, but if you click on the request button it responds with a dialog box: Ajax Error: no data received.
So what’s missing?

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Show Thumbnail (or ThumbURL) on Admin Collection Page?Thanks! Got it working.
All we need to see is whether there is a url in the field, to make it easy to see which items need updating.I then got creative and added the ISBN to the list, and puzzled out how to make that a sortable field as well.
Once I realized how that worked, I made the url field sortable as well so the librarians can sort the no-image part of the collection right to the top.
It only took about 20 minutes to get it all done!
If you want a copy of my hacked file, let me know where to send it.

In reply to: [Link View] [Plugin: Link View] What other attributes do you want to have?I have a temporary fix…
In the sc_linkview.php file, I modified the private function html_link_item:
On the 4th line, I modified
$out = '<div class="lv-item-'.$item.$a['class_suffix'].'">';to read
$out = '<div class="lv-item-'.$item.$a['class_suffix'].'" style="display:inline-block;">';This makes all the items included in a listing to display inline but still obey the style block model. Of course, they ended up butted against each other.
I then scrolled down to the line that closed the div tag:
$out .= '</div>';
And added some non-breaking spaces
$out .= ' </div>';And that did the trick. You can see the page under development at

In reply to: [Link View] [Plugin: Link View] What other attributes do you want to have?I would like to be able to format the link list without all the line breaks between items (our site needs to spell out the URLs for the members):
Name URL
Name URL
.
.
.Instead of
Name
URLName
URL
.
.
.Is there a simple way to do that?
