   Hi joe, I have the same problem of @tesha…can you advice me for the set up?
2. Joe Dolson; September 28, 2011 at 8:32 am

   @tesha I think that this can be done purely with CSS and JavaScript, so it wouldn’t require any significant customization. I’ll email you independently about setting it up.

   I need a small calendar on the left side of the screen with each day linked to a list that appears on the right with only that day’s events. Click on the 1st on the calendar and the events for the 1st appear on the right

   1. Is it possible
   2. What would you charge for the code
   3. Thanks - this is an excellent plugin
4. Joe Dolson; September 12, 2011 at 8:59 am

   @Marge Are you including the “format” attribute in your shortcode? If yes, is the value either “list”, “calendar”, or “mini”? Those are the only allowed values for that attribute.
5. Marge; September 11, 2011 at 11:09 am

   I added the short code to a page to show a list of events and I am getting this error message.

   Unrecognized calendar format.

   What is causing that?

   Thanks.

   Found it Joe, tremendous my friend.

   This script just keeps on giving, thanks again
7. johncf; August 18, 2011 at 10:30 am

   EDIT: I have studied the help page and cannot see my request below. Sorry
8. johncf; August 18, 2011 at 10:29 am

   Many thanks for the prompt reply Joe [my_calendar_locations] simply lists all my categories may I ask how I get the drop down box for [my_calendar_locations]
9. Joe Dolson; August 18, 2011 at 10:15 am

   @Johncf Use the [my_calendar_locations] shortcode, as documented on the My Calendar “Help” page.
10. johncf; August 18, 2011 at 3:44 am

    Joe, again tremendous script. may I ask how I get “Show events in:” drop down please in list mode?
11. Joe Dolson; August 10, 2011 at 11:32 am

    @Aaron O Glad that worked out for you.
12. Aaron O; August 10, 2011 at 11:16 am

    You were correct. Sorry, I shouldn’t have been in a panic, and I should have started disabling plugins. That was a rookie mistake, but it ended up being the Simple Lightbox plugin. I deactivated it, and it worked. Also, there was an update for the Simple Lightbox plugin, and once updated and reactivated, the problem went away. Thanks for your help!
13. Joe Dolson; August 9, 2011 at 6:38 pm

    @Aaron O You’ve got a slideshow script running which is conflicting with My Calendar. If you can block the scripts for that slideshow from running on your calendar page, you should be fine. I don’t know what mechanism (plug-in, theme, etc.) is being used to add those scripts, so I can’t tell you how to get rid of them on just that page.
14. Aaron O; August 9, 2011 at 5:53 pm

    I don’t know what happened, but when I goto my calendar, all of the details open up automatically, and I can’t close them. I want them all closed, and only opened when you click on the arrow. Is there something I am doing wrong?
15. Joe Dolson; August 9, 2011 at 2:31 pm

    @Bunni Go into the behavior editor and disable scripting for the list format.
16. Bunni; August 9, 2011 at 1:00 pm

    I am using this (wonderful) calendar in list format. By default the dates show on the list and must be clicked on to open for the event details. (Like your top widget calendar) I’m calling the calendar from shortcode on a page. Is there something I can put in the shortcode that will show the calendar in list format with the events showing (opened) already so that they don’t need to be clicked on.

    Thanks!
17. Joe Dolson; August 7, 2011 at 8:26 pm

    @Jonathan This will be a settings option in version 1.9, due out soon. If you’d like to try the beta, just send me an email.
18. Jonathan; August 7, 2011 at 6:39 pm

    Thanks Joe, it was the setting in List Layout Options that I’d overlooked! One more question if I may - is it possible to add a prefix to the event link? I need something such as “More info:”.
19. Joe Dolson; August 6, 2011 at 10:39 am

    @Anonne This should be fixed in version 1.9, due out soon.

    @Jonathan Well, the sample calendar is using [my_calendar toggle=’yes’], which shows the calendar in grid format and provides a link to switch between grid and list. Showing multiple months in list format can be configured in the calendar’s output settings. Dashboard > My Calendar > Settings > List Layout Options
20. Jonathan; August 4, 2011 at 6:23 pm

    Hi Joe,

    Quick question, what is the shortcode for this sample calendar in list view please? I’m trying to display all my forthcoming events (spanning several months) as list view but it only shows the current month. I’m using [my_calendar format=”list” time=”month”]

    Thanks in advance and for developing this great plugin!
21. Anonne; August 3, 2011 at 11:26 pm

    Hi Joe,

    Thank you for this excellent calendar plugin. It’s the best one I’ve found so far. I have a question. When you have a recurring event on a day of the month that occurs on a day that doesn’t exist for that month, it kicks back a week earlier. This appears correctly in the upcoming events, but does not appear correctly in the mini-calendar. It just doesn’t show up.
22. Joe Dolson; June 11, 2011 at 1:48 pm

    @Bev 1) You can remove many elements from the pop-up, including the location information. Changing the size of the pop-up can be done in the CSS file. If you look at the FAQ there’s some information about changing the location of the pop-up; you can also use the same CSS to alter size. 2) Yes - if you change the event title to include the {link_title} shortcode that will work. 3) Yes - if you add the {time} shortcode to the event title template.

    @Bonnie That was my intent, but (frankly) I didn’t do it quite right - that will be an option in version 1.9.

    @Deb Events which are created as a single event extending over several days and an event which repeats several times on a daily basis appear differently; test that difference and see what you can work with.
23. Bev; June 9, 2011 at 11:46 pm

    A couple of questions: (actually 3)
    1. All my events take place at the same location. The only description I have is the time. Is there a way to make the pop-up window that displays the time and location etc. smaller? I don’t need that huge amount of space.

    2. Is there a way to make the link to the above-mentioned pop-up window be the name of the event rather than just the tiny arrow icon?

    3. I have been able to get the calendar to print, which is great. But of course it doesn’t print the times (which is my description window content). Is there any way to make the times display without the pop-up window at all…so that when I print the calendar the times will show?

    Thanks for the plug-in, it’s the only thing I’ve tried that works and looks good.
24. Bonnie; June 9, 2011 at 11:11 pm

    Is there a way to have the Mini calendar widget only show the short description and the the full calendar show the full description?
25. Deb Shaw; June 1, 2011 at 1:42 pm

    Hi, Love the plugin - but if you have events over several days how do you stop them being listed as individual events?

    Thanks

26. Joe Dolson; April 13, 2011 at 6:19 pm

    @MediaJim Well, that would be a big fat bug. Thanks for catching it! Will be fixed soon.
27. MediaJim; April 12, 2011 at 6:24 pm

    Hey thanks for all your work!

    I for the life of me cannot get the widget title to link to the calendar page. (My Calendar: Upcoming Events widget)The option was greyed out at first, then I added an address in the settings page “URI for your public calendar (required to use the {details} template tag)” area. by the way, Does that URI mean URL? Well, after that is it no longer greyed out. I choose “Linked” in the widget settings and save. Immediately it changes back to “Not Linked”. Using WP3.1.1 Weaver2.0 theme and latest My Calendar. Thanks in advance! -Jim
28. Joe Dolson; April 5, 2011 at 5:39 pm

    @Max Thanks for noting that - it was an extra terminal slash on line 65 of my-calendar.php. You can edit that yourself if you wish, or wait an hour or so and download again.

    @Teresa No, there’s no significant troubleshooting in that guide. There’s certainly no limit to number of events. Try upgrading and let me know if you still have problems.
29. Max; April 5, 2011 at 5:00 pm

    Hi,
    Language support is not working in the latest update ..

    Regards Max
30. Teresa Carbajal Ravet; April 5, 2011 at 8:03 am

    Is there a troubleshooting chapter in the Begninner’s Guide? My Calendar is not adding new events and I can’t figure out why? Is there a limit to the number of events?

    Gracias,
     -Teresa
31. Joe Dolson; March 19, 2011 at 11:03 am

    @Lisa There isn’t a shortcode way of doing that. You can create a link directly to any given month, however - for this page, for example, the URL http://www.joedolson.com/articles/my-calendar/sample-calendar/?month=4&yr=2011 will always point to April, 2011.
32. Lisa S.; March 16, 2011 at 7:15 pm

    Hi Joe
    Love the MyCalendar, great work! I need a little help. Is there shortcode or code changes you would recommmend to display one month of the entire calendar (all categories) per page? Example, I want a page for April, but I want calendar to open to April events upon clicking on April page. Same thing for May. I still want the widgets to feed “today’s events” and “upcoming events.” I have a little experience with PHP, but not much so any help is much appreciated!
    Thanks for your time,
     Lisa
33. Joe Dolson; March 16, 2011 at 2:27 pm

    @robcreative Yes, actually, although it’s really more of a hack. The links above the sample calendar displayed here (View as a List/View as a Calendar) are just HTML links which handle that switch.

    @M Forbes Thanks for the FYI. I’m actually unclear what the spam issue actually is; you could be right — the commenter has not actually shown me what the spam occurrence was.
34. robcreative; March 16, 2011 at 11:11 am

    Is there a way to add a button to my page that will let end users toggle between calendar and list views? Thanks?
35. M Forbes; March 12, 2011 at 6:33 pm

    okay, never mind, figured out how to lose the categories below the main calendar.

    Thought you might like to know that on the Iphone, the date cells are shifted to the right ending up on top of the sidebar, whereas the “background” stays in the correct place on the page.

    Also, is the spam issue being discussed in other comments a result of having contact info available in the entries? i am a bit confused by this…

    Thanks again
36. M Forbes; March 12, 2011 at 1:38 am

    Hi,

    I recently installed and am setting up My Calendar. So far I am quite happy with what it offers. I am using it on a page. I set up a few categories, changed the general to “other”, and see them listed below the calendar. The “other” is always highlighted, even though the only entries I have entered are marked in a different category. I would actually like to get rid of the category key info, at the bottom of the calendar, all together. Is there an easy fix to this?

    Thanks for your time and your plug in
37. Anne; March 9, 2011 at 12:14 pm

    Hello, I can’t find where the RSS feed for new events added would be, any idea? Thanks a lot for your help.
38. keithfuller; February 15, 2011 at 12:16 pm

    if you could do the following things i would pay a fair amount of money for this.

    1. have registered users be able to add events to the calendar on the calendar page & widget.

    2. have categories so users can search that way. i would also love to have a category drop down below the calendar (both on the main and the widget) exactly the same way you have the dates as drop down menus to filter categories.

    i am working on a site (http://a2playsports.com) and i use EasyPHPCalendar, but it is way too difficult for users and is not intended as a WP plugin.
39. Joe Dolson; January 27, 2011 at 2:28 pm

    @Aarondas Thanks for the suggestion.

    @Erika Do your events reappear if you add the attribute type=event to the shortcode?
40. AARONDAS; January 27, 2011 at 1:21 pm

    Hello Joe,

    This is a request for the next update you do. I am using wordpress as an intranet, and what we look for is a calendar that our users can use on the frontend and not need to go into wp-admin. so if you can work it in I would love it if you could make the plugin so that users can add/edit/delete events from the calendar page.

    Thanks,

    Aaron
41. Erika; January 27, 2011 at 1:04 pm

    Ok I’ve been using your calendar with excellent results since September, and now all the sudden I’m having problems with it. I have been making seperate pages for the seperate categories useing the short code: [my_calendar category=”Boys Soccer” showkey=”no”]
    For some reason though, these pages are showing up with all the events from every sport. Do I have the code wrong or are the settings on my calendar wrong?
    Thanks for all your help
     — Erika
42. Joe Dolson; January 19, 2011 at 5:06 pm

    @Mark There are detailed instructions on using the calendar shortcodes on the calendar’s help page. From your WordPress dashboard: My Calendar > Help

    @Juan If you update your jQuery in version 1.7.1 these problems should be resolved.
43. Mark; January 19, 2011 at 3:18 pm

    Hi Joe. I’m trying to get your calendar up and running, but I’m having some issues. Do I set an event page, as with Kiernans {CALENDAR}? If not, where is the calendar?

    A bigger question: is it compatible with the Headway Theme builder? Thanks.
44. Juan José López; January 15, 2011 at 12:38 pm

    Another observation, the problem occur only in the blue arrow, but in the icon calendar, doesn´t.
45. Juan José López; January 15, 2011 at 12:17 pm

    HI, Joe.

    I Uopdated to version 1.7.0. Also, I reseted the JS mini calendar, Ajax Nav, list and calendar view, but the problem dosn´t dissapear.

    http://sansalvador.gob.sv/bicentenario

    I ask you again. Could I edit the anchor (#) to add and character (#a)

    Can you add it to?

    Thanks
