Great idea, I realized after I posted this why you would have it the other way, covering both cases sounds like it’d work perfectly. Thanks!

So I made a change to your plugin which resolved the issue of the Source site blank fields:

In views > options-page.php, I edited line 33 as follows:

echo '>'.$blogTemp['domain'].'</option>';

(Note that all of my sites have the same path and the domain mapping is managed elsewhere). I would imagine this might help some other users with unusual set-ups?

I’m going to open another thread about my remaining issue, which is that no menu pulls in.

Marcus: I actually found that is_current, I was looking through the code! I agree, it would have been nice to discover earlier in the documentation 🙂

The problem is I can’t get CONTENT to display only future events when I set it to “future” in the Event List settings. The “future” scope includes current events. So, using a shortcode to call Current events above the main listing (set to Future) means I see events happening now twice.

Here’s my code:

<strong>Now Showing</strong>
[events_list scope="today"]
<strong>Upcoming Events</strong>
CONTENTS

This displays:

Now Showing
Event A
Upcoming Events
Event A
Event B

CONTENTS list is set to scope=”future” in the dropdown on Events > Settings > Pages > Event List. However, I’m also using conditional statements in the display template:

{is_future}
<Extra image here/>
{/is_future}

This displays:

Now Showing
Event A
Upcoming Events
Event A
Event B <Extra image here/>

To put it clearly: the {is_future} conditional IGNORES currently active events, but scope=”future” includes them. This seems glaringly inconsistent to me.

I would like this plugin to display:

Now Showing
Event A
Upcoming Events
Event B <Extra image here/>

There’s no setting for “current” or “today” in the Event List settings, even though they exist elsewhere, so I can’t reverse the above shortcode/CONTENT settings. Not that I could, because the shortcode scope=”future” also includes current events.

angelo_nwl: Yes, if you read my original post you’ll see I set my settings, they just don’t seem to work how I’d like/expect them to. I’m not concerned with past events, nor recurring events. I simply would like to split my events page into two groups: ones happening now, and ones that haven’t started yet. The “Future” setting includes current events in the settings, but does not in the conditional statements.

I mostly brough this up to point out the inconsistencies in the use of the word “future” throughout the plugin, so it could be fixed and not confuse others like me. Also, it would be great if the Event List scope dropdown were expanded to include all the scopes available in the shortcode.

Installing the Google Libraries plugin took care of the issue! Just in case someone else is running into the same thing.

On that note (sorry for the duplicate posts), I’d also love the 23px padding-left and the background-position styles removed.

I modified your plugin to only enter CSS styles for those menus WITH images (instead of every menu, regardless of whether they had an image associated, which is needless mark-up). I’m not expert enough to figure out how to insert the CSS into the head as opposed to the footer, but that would really be my ideal!

function get_custom_menu_image_css($menuItems, $args){
		//print_r($menuItems);
		$this->styles[] = '<style>';
		$custom_options = (get_option($this->prefix));
		foreach ($menuItems as $key => $val ) {
			$menuItems[$key]->classes = array('menu_item_'.$val->ID);
			$image_url = ($custom_options[$val->ID]['url_type'] != 'lib' ? $custom_options[$val->ID]['url'] : $custom_options[$val->ID]['media_lib']);
			if($image_url != '') {
			$this->styles[] = '
				li.menu-item.menu_item_'.$val->ID.' {
					background-image: url('.$image_url.');
				}
			';	}
		}
		$this->styles[] = '</style>';
		return $menuItems;
	}
