hello,
here is a new hack for the plugin to link to a page instead of using the qtip. it’s based on the updated version of the plugin 2.8.2.

1a. if we’ve just updated having used this hack: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/links-inside-description-pop-up, then the links we want have automatically moved from notes (older version) in the body of the instuctors/classes (2.8.2 version)

1b. if we are using the plugin for the first time then we fill in the body of each class/editor with the corresponding link we want to point to.

2. Then edit wcs3_output.php in weekly-class-schedule/includes folder and replace:

$class_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="#qtip" class="wcs3-qtip">' . $class->class_title . '</a>';
    $class_a .= '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' . $class->class_desc . '</span></span>';

    $instructor_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="#qtip" class="wcs3-qtip">' . $class->instructor_title . '</a>';
    $instructor_a .= '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' . $class->instructor_desc . '</span></span>';

    $location_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="#qtip" class="wcs3-qtip">' . $class->location_title . '</a>';
    $location_a .= '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' . $class->location_desc . '</span></span>';

with:

class_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="' + data.class_desc + '" class="wcs3-qtip">' + data.class_title + '</a>';
		// class_a += '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' + data.class_desc + '</span></span>';

		instructor_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="' + data.instructor_desc + '" class="wcs3-qtip">' + data.instructor_title + '</a>';
		// instructor_a += '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' + data.instructor_desc + '</span></span>';

		location_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="' + data.location_desc + '" class="wcs3-qtip">' + data.location_title + '</a>';
		// location_a += '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' + data.location_desc + '</span></span>';

3. edit wcs3_common.js in weekly-class-schedule/js folder and replace:

class_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="#qtip" class="wcs3-qtip">' + data.class_title + '</a>';
		class_a += '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' + data.class_desc + '</span></span>';

		instructor_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="#qtip" class="wcs3-qtip">' + data.instructor_title + '</a>';
		instructor_a += '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' + data.instructor_desc + '</span></span>';

		location_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="#qtip" class="wcs3-qtip">' + data.location_title + '</a>';
		location_a += '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' + data.location_desc + '</span></span>';

with:

class_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="' + data.class_desc + '" class="wcs3-qtip">' + data.class_title + '</a>';
		// class_a += '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' + data.class_desc + '</span></span>';

		instructor_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="' + data.instructor_desc + '" class="wcs3-qtip">' + data.instructor_title + '</a>';
		// instructor_a += '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' + data.instructor_desc + '</span></span>';

		location_a = '<span class="wcs3-qtip-box"><a href="' + data.location_desc + '" class="wcs3-qtip">' + data.location_title + '</a>';
		// location_a += '<span class="wcs3-qtip-data">' + data.location_desc + '</span></span>';

notes: we actually want to firstly omitt printing the “wcs3-qtip-data” span, so that qtip doesn’t come up at all, and secondly, we want to replace the href, from #qtip to the description, which hopefully contains the link-path we’ve filled in the body previously.

hope it helps.

if you mean that you don’t see the like and share buttons, then check whether you have any adblock addons enabled in your firefox.

there is a small hack that worked for me:

1. For each class and each instructor create a page/post with the information of the class or instructor.

2. in the file WcsSchedule.php (models folder of the plugin) you change the following two lines 580 from

$details_class = "<a class='wcs-qtip' name='$class_description'>$class_name</a>";

to

$details_class = "<a class='wcs-qtip' href='$class_description'>$class_name</a>";

and line 583 from

$details_class = "<a class='wcs-qtip' name='$class_description'>$class_name</a>";

to

$details_class = "<a class='wcs-qtip' href='$class_description'>$class_name</a>";

3. You make sure that in the WCschedule admin, the class and instructor descriptions only contain the link to the corresponding page/post of the class or the the instructor.

The link can be in the form /instructorA or /classes/classB, i.e. omitting the the first part of the domain name (for example http://www.my-domain-name.org), but including the first slash /.

4. now the links in the qtips of the schedule take us to the instructor’s or the class’ page/post that we created before.

yet todo: remove small white little qtip over qtip which appears when clicking the links

right!
yes, it’s the latest version of the plugin. the problem was that posts were still in the trash. it worked after I permanently deleted them. thanks for the quick response Allen.
