Hey Frank,

is there an easy way I can display the latest event (via PauEvents) on another page? Would be very helpful.

Thank you
Tino

My client has asked for the ability to ‘Tell a Friend’ in the Event detail page. Just a button (different color than the purchase button) that says ‘Tell a Friend’ and opens a panel or goes to a page where they can enter a message and a few email addresses and have the URL sent in an email to their ‘friends’. The URL would point back to the Event page.

Hi Frank and others 🙂

Im trying to change the start day of the week.

In pauevents-functions line 465-477 I can see the List of week days – And can list the “week” as I want to (M;T;W;TH;F;SA;SUN) ,
If I change the list to start Mondays instead of Sundays – The date in the calendar will change to…
So Monday the 3 of march will change to Monday 2 of march.

Which function is hooked up to this? – cant figure it out, and would like to change the days of a week (M;T;W;TH;F;SA;SUN) but still render the correct date.

Kindly
Anders

I have created 10 events in the events module.
Each event occurs over a five day period i.e.: M,T,W,Th,F
Each day of each event has a start and stop time of 9am and 6pm.

On the page for one event, the start and stop times are listed on the right hand side of the page and it looks like this:

Start: March 10 2014 9:00 AM
End: March 14 2014 6:00 PM
Location:
Registration:

I have received feedback from a user telling me that this display of information is unclear and confusing.

Is there any way of increasing the granularity of the event details?

It would be nice to format the event details something like this:

Event Name:
Event Starts: March 10
Event Ends: March 14
Daily Start Time: 9:00 AM
Daily End Time: 6:00 PM
Location:

I have noticed that the Events module does not inherit the styling of the site theme.

Is there a simple way of getting it to take on the theme of my site so that its appearance is consistent with the rest of my site?

Hi PP

Im using u’r events plugin.

I have a problem – It doesn’t associate the date format from wordpress ‘months’ (Danish atm)

So I looked into events – and found arrays ($months) in pauevents.navigation (line 138 ) and pauevents.functions php (line 12) files.
If i change does to my native language monthly names – but no events with show up in ‘calendar view’/ ‘all months view’ etc.

In pp.function.php there is a main function for wp-calendar (line 24) shouldnt it grab the date format choices from WP?

So in a nutshell – i can’t change the months names to my own language, without loosing the ability to see planned events.

When we list our events on the /events/ page it defaults to the current month’s events. Is there a way to default to ‘all months’?

We would like to display our event calendar in a section of our home page. Do you have a shortcode developed that would allow us to place the calendar in a non-paupress page? Or even php code that we could put in our page template that would load all the correct files in order for the pauevents_do_calendar() function to work?

Hey Frank,

I am very interested in the Events add-on. But: I would need two instances of it, because there are two categories of events displayed on two different pages. Before I buy it I would like to know if the Events add-on already capable of doing this (or if it would not be very difficult to modify it into that direction in your eyes)?

Thank you very much!

Presented the new site and all-things-Paupress to the board of my non-profit client. To say they were thrilled with what Paupress can do is an understatement. Big testimonial to your leadership and work, Frank!

While demo’ing the website—and showing off the responsive capability—several people whipped out their iPhones, various Android phones, an iPad and an Android tablet in order to view the site.

Everything worked great until we came to the Events page (i.e., PauEvents) and the meeting-goodness ground to a halt: Clicking the event map on one of the mobile devices might:

a) Launch the map app (which is the desired behavior)

b) Open the non-responsive, in-browser lightbox version of the map (which looks great on a laptop or tablet but is unusable on a phone) and it would not launch the map app.

This caused great consternation amongst the board members because they, like all of us do, are heading to an event at the last minute expecting they can click some link and view a map on their way to the event.

The devices used for the the unusable map view in-browser was on a Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung tablet…both running Jelly Bean. Another Android phone running an unknown version opened Google Maps. My iPhone 5S (iOS 7) also launched Google Maps but I was viewing the site in Chrome for iPhone. I quickly deleted the app, pulled up the site’s Events in Safari, and it also didn’t launch the Apple Maps app but rather loaded in-browser.

SUGGESTION
It would be great to have a way to have a method to:

1) Have the map be responsive in the lightbox

2) Have a CSS class to only show a map link in the @media phone view size

3) Forget all of that and tell them all to go and buy a Tom-Tom GPS at Best Buy (because dedicated GPS devices are dying anyway…and the deals are probably good)!

Thoughts?
