  1. hello,
    can you add :
    - Create a post when a new event is created
    - Event’s search in Calendar page

    Thanks for your great job

  2. Hi,

    Is it possible to include an option in settings so that event information pop up automatically closes when another date is clicked on so you only have one window open at a time?

    At the moment when you have a few things clicked they get stacked on top of each other so it’ll be good to cater for those “less-technical” users out there.

    Thanks!!

  3. Hello,
    I am sorry for my bad English. Thank you for your plugin, I am using it for one year on my Web site. I like the widget My Calendar: Upcoming Events. I would like to put the date from this widget on another Web site, but there is not WordPress. Is there any way to make it (by RSS…)?
     Thanks.

  4. Hi Joe, nevermind I figured out how to make this work! I will be sure to make a donation when I complete the site. It’s a great product…
    still a request to add this feature to the short code though…would have saved me some time.

    Thanks!

  5. Hi Joe, not sure if this feature already exists or not. I am looking to be able to have a page with just an individual month on it. So 1 page for each month of the year. It is for an adverting calendar so we want to be able to have ads for each month.

    Is there a way to modify the shortcode to specify the month you want displayed on a page? I see the time segment is just month…can I add a 2 for February on there?

    If this isn’t a feature already, please consider adding it. Thanks!

  6. I want to use the upcoming events widget but I wanted to show a date then all the events for that day, then the next date and the events etc, but I couldn’t get it to work with the templets. So I put in a little hack.

    I edited my-calendar-widgets.php and put the following
    $test_cur_date = jd_draw_template($details,’{date}’);
    if ($test_last_date $test_cur_date) {
    $output .= ““.jd_draw_template($details,’{date}’).””;
    $test_last_date = $test_cur_date;
    }
    before line 271 (version 1.10.5) which is
    $output .= ”“.jd_draw_template($details,$template).”“;

    Then for my widget template I just use ‘{time}: {link_title}’

    What this does is get the date of the event to be processed and compare it to the last date processed, if they don’t match it outputs the date then the event. If the dates do match, it just outputs the event. This will condense the widget listing and make it more readable.

    It works for me and I’d love to see it as an option

  7. Awesome calendar! By any chance can the event pop-up show when hovering over a title? Otherwise this is great and I love that its customizable. Great work! :)

  8. Your calendar ROCKS - however - please please please consider adding an email reminder feature that would send an email to each registered attendee a predetermined amount of time before an event. This is the one feature my clients are dying for and it’s impossible to find, especially in such a complete plugin as yours!!!!!

    Thanks!

  9. @Brad I won’t be directly integrating the two plug-ins, but when I add support for creating posts automatically with event creation, that will work with WP to Twitter.

  10. MyCalendar and WP to Twitter integration: Optional tweets when new events are added and tweets for upcoming events.

  11. hi, really enjoying the calender I have two requests and would love it if I could do the following or someone tell me how to do it.

    1) Remove/Change the text for the “add event” button that appears on the admin bar in wordpress 3.3

    2) Change the email address/names where notifications come from when adding a new event.

  12. Thanks for the great plugin. THis is just what I wanted. So to support you I bought the User guide. I wanted to request that each field in My Calendar be a custom taxonomy so that I can link it to Gravity FOrms for Event submission.

    Thanks.

  13. Another feature request I thought of:

    An option to have recurring events end on a date instead of after x many occurrences.

  14. First off, I want to thank you for this awesome calendar plugin! I have been looking a long time to find one I liked and met my needs, and I finally found it!

    Now for my feature request:

    For the event pop-up, have a hover option. That way, a user just has to hover over an event and not have to click on it for more information.

  15. I’ll consider that a bug report more than a feature request, but thanks! That shouldn’t be the case.

  16. Hi,

    First of all, thank you for this excellent plugin.

    I like to make the details boxes draggable. However, I noticed that if we check the option “Details boxes are draggable”, in the Behavior Editor, the script jquery.easydrag.js is loaded in all pages of the website, even if we indicate specific pages in “Apply JavaScript only on these pages (comma separated page IDs)”.

    Although this is a small script, it would be a very good evolution to make it load only in pages that actually need it, which are specified in “Apply JavaScript only on these pages (comma separated page IDs)”.

    If you already have a solution in order to fix this issue, please let me know.
