In reply to: [Event Calendar] [Plugin: Ajax Event Calendar] Override eventlist CSS?Apologies for the multi-post. So, I’ve found that there is a big chunk of inline styles that are injected before the eventlist output. This will prevent ever overriding the eventlist display with any other stylesheet.
So how might one alter the display generated by the eventlist shortcode?
The FAQ says to override existing styles in your theme stylesheet, but this has not worked not has putting the edits into the custom.css due, I’m assuming, to the big block of inline styles shown below.
<style>.cat1,.cat1 .fc-event-skin,.fc-agenda .cat1,a.cat1,a.cat1:active,a.cat1:visited{color:#FFFFFF !important;background-color:#517ed6 !important;border-color:#517ed6 !important} a.cat1:hover{-moz-box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;-webkit-box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;color:#FFFFFF !important;background-color:#517ed6 !important;border-color:#FFFFFF !important} .cat2,.cat2 .fc-event-skin,.fc-agenda .cat2,a.cat2,a.cat2:active,a.cat2:visited{color:#FFFFFF !important;background-color:#e3686c !important;border-color:#e3686c !important} a.cat2:hover{-moz-box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;-webkit-box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;color:#FFFFFF !important;background-color:#e3686c !important;border-color:#FFFFFF !important} .cat3,.cat3 .fc-event-skin,.fc-agenda .cat3,a.cat3,a.cat3:active,a.cat3:visited{color:#FFFFFF !important;background-color:#8fc9b0 !important;border-color:#8fc9b0 !important} a.cat3:hover{-moz-box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;-webkit-box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;color:#FFFFFF !important;background-color:#8fc9b0 !important;border-color:#FFFFFF !important} .cat4,.cat4 .fc-event-skin,.fc-agenda .cat4,a.cat4,a.cat4:active,a.cat4:visited{color:#FFFFFF !important;background-color:#82ba80 !important;border-color:#82ba80 !important} a.cat4:hover{-moz-box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;-webkit-box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;box-shadow:0 0 2px #000;color:#FFFFFF !important;background-color:#82ba80 !important;border-color:#FFFFFF !important} </style>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Event Calendar] [Plugin: Ajax Event Calendar] Override eventlist CSS?extra note: I’ve tried overriding some of the styles (example the event list background-color) by putting it in custom.css. However, this has no effect either.
My main objective is to style the home page’s event list to fit the design. That means removing the blue bg color and setting some font styles.
The blue bubbles don’t go with the design at all. The functionality is spot on though.
It would be ideal i there were a custom.css file that lived outside of the plugin’s directory so that it won’t be killed off from an update.
Almost there... [wcs "Classroom A" "Classroom B"] should do it.I have tried this but it displays exactly the same as if I input:
[wcs "Classroom A"] [wcs Classroom B"] [wcs Classroom C"]This plugin is so close to what I’m needing. I have a weekly class schedule with multiple types of classes (Ballet, Jazz, Tap). Each type has sub-types (Intro, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). At any given day/time there could be overlapping classes. Ex. Wed, we have evening classes for Ballet Intermediate, Ballet Advanced, Jazz Beginner, Tap Beginner, Tap Intermediate. A bunch of them overlap in time slots. I have not worked out a scenario where class/classroom allows this to work.
Plus, they will not show in one grid.
Oh, I was also wondering if more than one schedule can be made. We have both a Teen/Adult schedule and a Children’s schedule. I don’t see a way to have two different schedules.
the answer for home page only is:
is_front_page()
Simple as that.
Alan, why not just answer the support question when it’s clear the person is having trouble and doesn’t quite understand? Then point them to the spot where they can learn more. Answering a question with a question creates frustration with your widget’s users.
Yeah. The feed idea seems to have potential.

In reply to: [Widget Logic] [Plugin: Widget Logic] Use $widget_ID ?We worked it out and have it under control now Alan. But it took a bunch of trial and error.
Widget Logic isone of the most useful plugins around and this particular feature can quite powerful too. To allow people that aren’t full-on developers to exploit it, including a clear and straightforward example of how to use the feature on Widget Logic’s “Other Notes” page would be a wonderful thing.
Are there feeds of each user’s files that the Admin could display as links on a page or sidebar? That would be a perfect solution.

In reply to: [Widget Logic] [Plugin: Widget Logic] Use $widget_ID ?alanft –
My “Test” content shows up just fine. BUT it shows in ALL widgets. So, what I don’t understand is how the function knows what the $widget_id variable is.
Hows does $widget_id get a value (presumably the widget ID “query-posts-3”) assigned to it?
I’ve played with this for days now with only the ability to append text to every widget I’m using. That is why I’m here asking for assistance. I do not know how to get the plugin/function to ONLY apply the text “TEST” to the one widget I’m targeting.

In reply to: [Spam Free WordPress] [Plugin: Spam Free WordPress] Thematic Comment Formoops! Sorry Todd. I found the setting. Since I had yet to get the password field to display I had not yet investigated the controls further. We can now properly test the plugin. I’m hoping it’ll work well and will drop a donation on ya! Thanks for your work!

In reply to: [SurveyMe] Empty CSV Files?DCoda – I reset the survey Names so that they did not have spaces in them. I noticed the admin was creating new Forms with %20 filling the gap. Once I reset, the CSV is storing data in the downloaded version.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [SurveyMe] Empty CSV Files?Hmm…
One survey includes:
Name
Email
Company
What’s your biggest hurdle as a CFO/controller?
[radio] Cash flow management
[radio] Accounts receivable
[radio] Inventory issues
[radio] Month-end close
Other? (please specify):So, we have a forward slash, question mark, hyphen, parenthesis, colon. This kind of regular punctuation is not allowed in a question?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [SurveyMe] Override CSS?Sounds great DCoda. Valid points you make as well. I don’t have a problem with the data reporting. It is easy to DL the CSV and coach clients to do the same. Keeps is lean and mean and doesn’t bog down the WP admin.

In reply to: [SurveyMe] Override CSS?Thanks for the info. I’m not sure I can control in what order the plug-in css comes into the pages…or I currently do not know how to make them precede the core theme css so that it might override.
I’ll try the !important declaration, but my understanding has been that it does not work consistently for Internet Explorer, especially IE7, which still is in heavy usage.
Your plugin is very close to what I’m needing. It would be a great benefit, in my case, to be able to locate the contact info collection fields to anywhere within the survey rather than them being fixed to the top. Once a user has filled in a survey, they are more likely to go ahead an provide some required contact info willingly. When it’s always up front, before the survey questions, it can give the impression that the gathering of the contact info is really the sole purpose of the survey.
I’m actually surprised at the limitations of some of the survey plug-ins. I tried the WP Survey & Quiz plugin but it would always make the whole post it was placed in disappear until the user clicked “Next.” It’s admin interface and instructions are not intuitive and there is no option to have multiple choice questions as radio buttons. Seems odd and clunky.
Your plugin is pretty straightforward and allows required fields, which is functionally ideal. The issues, in my opinion are:
– in the ability to style the survey easily
– the rigidness of the contact info fields
– some funky stuff when trying to re-order questions. Drag and drop would be a real nice usability improvement.
– For some end-users, the lack of data reporting in the Admin is a deal killer. But, with a minor tutorial on downloading a CSV and opening in Excel, that issue can be overcome.Seriously, if y’all can add a few usability features to the plugin, I feel you’d be the leader in the survey plugin pack. I understand that it’s tough developing free plugins. But you could even offer a “premium” add-on package of some features and fund your development. An example of this model is the Subscribe2 plugin. It has a base set of features that are good for many users. For a one time fee, you can open up more advanced features. It is reasonable and allows the creator to make a buck to fund further development and offer quality support.
Even in a premium add-on scenario it would be much more affordable than say, signing up for PollDaddy and likely would satisfy a larger percentage of users.

In reply to: [SurveyMe] Override CSS?Yep. I can easily see the styles and where they are coming from. That is the issue. The form elements are styled by two stylesheets that are deep in the plugin’s directory. These stylesheets override any style in the main WP style.css stylesheet. So, you must edit the plugin’s stylesheets. When you do that, they’ll be overwritten every time the plugin is updated.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] When W3TC is on, kills various site features/javascriptsUpdate: when Minify is disabled, the previously mentioned issues go away and the site functions properly.
Since I am new to W3TC, I’m curious about how much efficiency I lose by having to turn off Minify and if there is a way to overcome the issue?
