   How do you get the extra details box to appear when clicking on the link icon from calendar.
2. juan jose; January 14, 2011 at 9:48 pm

   When you click on a event, it take you to the top page.

   Hello Joe,

   I have looked, and I have the javascript for the mini enabled. I’m basically using the out of the box settings.

   I added it, put the upcoming events widgit into the 2ndary widgit area, then I added this code and put it in the 2ndary widgit area above the upcoming events.

   I added an event, I added colors for the various categories. I added a location.

   For the lowest user groups i put editor for both, then I put show calendar headings. In the output I have:
   Display a jumpbox for changing month and year quickly?
   Show short description field on calendar.

   For input I have checked all, and for the calendar option style I have the default selected.
   For the style editor I have everything set as derfault, and for the mini I have your code:

   var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

   $j(document).ready(function() {
   $j(“.mini .has-events”).children().not(“.trigger”).hide();
   $j(“.has-events .trigger”).toggle(
   function() {
   $j(“.mini .has-events”).children().not(“.trigger”).hide();
   $j(this).parent().children().not(“.trigger”).show(“fast”);
   },
   function() {
   $j(“.mini .has-events”).children().not(“.trigger”).hide(“fast”);
   }
   );
    });

   The popup does work on the big calendar, and the code looks like this for the large calendar:

   var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

   $j(document).ready(function() {
   $j(“.calendar-event”).children().not(“h3”).hide();
   $j(“.calendar-event h3”).toggle(
   function() {
   $j(“.calendar-event”).children().not(“h3”).hide();
   $j(this).parent().children().not(“h3”).show(“fast”);
   },
   function() {
   $j(“.calendar-event”).children().not(“h3”).hide(“fast”);
   }
   );
    });

   I even looked, and I do have js enabled in my browser.

   Thank you and I appreciate all of your help.

   @Chris <?php echo wp_login_url( $redirect ); ?>, where $redirect equals your calendar admin pages should do it.

   @Aarondas Do you have the JavaScript behaviors for the mini calendar enabled? (Settings > Style Editor). It’s hard for me to judge without seeing what you’ve done; but this is one possibility. I’m not sure how you could manage to not have the dates hyperlinked in the mini calendar - have you customized the output in some way by editing the plugin? If so, I can’t support that.
7. AARONDAS; November 4, 2010 at 12:25 pm

   Hello,

   I have added this to my site and it looks good, but I have one question. I have both the calendar and the event list in the sidebar, and I have added some events. The problem that I am having is that the dates are not hyperlinked so that the user can find out information on that date.

   How can I configure mine like the one above so that if they click on the lik in the mini calendar it will pop out?

   Thank you,

   Aaron

   Hi Joe
   And how do I display the link for registered users to submit events?
9. Joe Dolson; November 3, 2010 at 10:07 am

   @Jeanette Thanks for reporting that - sounds like a bug in the sidebar. I’ll check on it.

   @Chris Using the latest version, you can configure so that any registered user can submit an event; but that’s the closest you can get for now.
10. Jeanette; November 2, 2010 at 7:55 pm

    Hello Joe. Thanks for your slick calendar. I’ve only been using it for about two weeks. I’ve noticed an odd thing lately. I have several recurring and nonrecurring events set up in my calendar. Over the weekend and today, the right sidebar widget was duplicating events, but the calendar view was not. I checked my entries VERY carefully to see if I had inadvertently entered an event twice. I have not. For some reason, now and then, the calendar view and the sidebar widget are not matching. Weird.
    Has anyone else reported a possible glitch with the sidebar not properly displaying recurring events?

    One example. I have one event set to recur on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, which for this month would be Nov 10. Yet, the sidebar was “announcing” this “2nd Wed of each month” class on Nov 3 instead of the 10th. But the calendar was displaying it correctly on Nov 10. And because I also have a Nov 3 class set up…the result was that the side bar was displaying duplicate classes. Any suggestions?
11. Chris; October 17, 2010 at 5:15 pm

    How is it possible for normal website visitors to add events to the calendar?
12. Jack; October 9, 2010 at 8:17 am

    Hi Joe, Thank you for this awesome awesome work. I have on small question, I would like to simply have visitors taken directly to the link of my choice on the first click, skipping the drop down window that appears. In the Kieran O’Shea’s Calendar plugin this is possible… how can I get that aspect to work with yours. Thank you again for this.
13. Joe Dolson; September 21, 2010 at 9:41 am

    @Erika Not a problem. For each category, you’ll want to create a separate Page in WordPress; then on that page you can place a shortcode which specifies which category you want to display, e.g. [my_calendar category="Baseball"]. If you place a calendar on a page without limiting the category, it’ll show all categories. You can read the help files in the plugin for more detailed information about shortcodes.
14. Erika; September 19, 2010 at 9:44 pm

    Joe,
    I’m completely new to code and website and all so I’m sorry if this is a stupid question
    I’m using a wordpress site and have put in a calendar for all of the sports and fine art events at my school. I have set up catagories for each one of these, but I’m not sure how to make the different pages for these catagories. And if I do different pages can I keep one that has all the events?
     Thanks!
15. Joe Dolson; September 2, 2010 at 9:55 am

    @Chris Yes, it’s possible; there are a number of ways. I’d suggest using

    
<?php echo do_shortcode('[my_calendar_upcoming before=”0” after=”5” type=”event” category=”General” template=”{title} {date}”]'); ?>


    Essentially, you run the shortcode in the shortcode interpreter function, which allows you to use the shortcode features anywhere in your template.
16. Chris Palmer; September 2, 2010 at 12:57 am

    Good afternoon Joe. Is it possible to call the upcoming events alone in a non-widget sidebar ala the way it is done with Kieran’s calendar and the command? I had yours installed instead, but had no luck calling this information and reverted back to Calendar.
17. Sjeng; August 8, 2010 at 4:21 am

    No problem. Just keeping an eye on this site for further developments.
18. AP; August 7, 2010 at 3:28 pm

    yes thanks for your help…as you can tell, this is all new to me…by the way…the plugin works really well…
19. Joe Dolson; August 7, 2010 at 2:58 pm

    @Shane Add the attributes after="5" before="0" into the shortcode.

    @tesha Sorry, that’s not really an option.

    @Szeng Thanks for helping AP out!
20. Sjeng; August 6, 2010 at 12:30 am

    @AP: it’s determined by your WordPress setting, look under settings (I think the general tab).
21. AP; August 5, 2010 at 8:45 pm

    Your calendar on this page shows each week starting on a Sunday. However, my calendar starts on a Monday. Is there an option to make it so the first day of the week is a Sunday like the example on this page?
22. tesha; August 4, 2010 at 2:26 pm

    Excellent plugin Joe, we’ll be making a donation as soon as the funding comes through for the site.

    I have a question tho’ - can I display, on a page, just the current single-day’s, activities AND have a graphical display of a calendar to click on to choose another day?
23. Shane; July 26, 2010 at 2:38 pm

    I think the calendar is great. I have a page with the full calendar view and on my homepage I am displaying most recent events. However, it is displaying all the events. How to I have it only show the top 5.

    Here is what I currently have for code.
    [my_calendar_upcoming category=”” template=”{title} {date}”]
24. Sjeng; July 23, 2010 at 10:22 am

    Well, as I said, I don’t know Jack about code, just some CSS and HTML, so I’m stuck here
    But anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated.
     Thanks!
25. Joe Dolson; July 23, 2010 at 10:03 am

    @Magnus Well, you may need to look at combining a calendar plugin with a registration plugin. I know that there is a plugin called Events Registration which is supposed to be good - the free version is way out of date, however, so you’d definitely need to buy it.

    @Sjeng Wow, that is pretty weird. It’s a JavaScript or CSS issue, not a PHP issue, but I’ll definitely try and play with that. You can change the JavaScript in the plugin admin yourself, if you want to try something else.
26. Sjeng; July 23, 2010 at 1:00 am

    Hi!
    Well, the calendar works like a charm in IE8, but the popup boxes are jumping all over the place in Opera 10… Which is what I use mostly
    Also, all the info boxes seem to be opened in Opera, and always aligned to the right of the day, making the rightmost boxes disappear behind the widgets column…
    Is there a way to fix that? (I’m no php coder)
    If not, I’d be happy with a way to make the popups appear just like in Keiran O’Shea’s calendar, a simpler rollover effect.

    (I wonder why great plugins such as this always have different effects in different browsers.)
27. Magnus Jahrl; July 14, 2010 at 6:12 pm

    Hi

    I’m looking for an Event Calender Plugin with a sign up function (where you can see all thats signed up). Any ideas?

28. Jeff; July 14, 2010 at 3:34 pm

    Awesome! Thanks so much for your efforts and accessibility (pun intended).
29. Joe Dolson; July 14, 2010 at 3:31 pm

    @Jeff Yes, using categories. The shortcode supports creating calendars which only contain specific categories.
30. Jeff; July 14, 2010 at 1:43 pm

    Joe, is it possible to have multiple event calendars on one wordpress installation? I have a client who has three locations, and doesn’t want to list all events on one calendar. That would get very messy, very fast. It would be fine to enter events for separate calendars through one admin panel, or independently.
31. Joe Dolson; July 11, 2010 at 10:08 am

    @Aaron Thanks for the suggestion on the GPS coordinates. Adding event titles to the list format is significantly problematic, since the list is organized by date, not by event.

    @Rebecca Sorry, there’s no option for that. You can display upcoming events in relationship to the current day, or events by month according to the month, but there’s no method to display specific weeks.
32. Rebecca; July 6, 2010 at 3:27 pm

    Hi.

    Great plugin!

    I was wondering if I can display a list of events by week (starting sunday)?

    Thank you very much

33. Aaron; July 3, 2010 at 5:40 pm

    Really enjoying this plug-in - it’s going to solve problems for two associations I work with.

    Two suggestions:
    - as Bryan brought up, being able to add an event title to the list format would be _very_ helpful.
    - allowing input of GPS coordinates in the location would solve rural locations vis-a-vis google maps - most rural areas don’t have usable addresses. The format for google is: http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=43.5069,-80.541&t=k&z=18 ( the t and z affect the view type and zoom , the q is the longitute / latitude).
34. Joe Dolson; June 19, 2010 at 12:12 pm

    @Don No worries, I understand! None of the widgets are capable, at this time, of generating a graphical calendar - the only graphical calendar option is from using shortcodes. You can get all the information on the shortcodes in the plugin’s Help information page. I do have plans for adding graphical calendar formats in the widgets, and for making multiple widgets available; but those features are not yet ready.
35. Don; June 19, 2010 at 10:46 am

    Joe,

    A newbie for WordPress; working with your plugin as one of my first learning experiences. So please don’t laugh (or groan) too loudly.

    I uploaded the files into the plugin directory and My Calendar showed up. I was able to activate it and add events. So far so good.

    In the widget area, it seemed to add two widgets, “Todays Events” and “Future Events”. When I drag those into my sidebar, they automatically come up as a list rather than calendar graphic mode. I do not see where the shortcode is to be able to change the format. There is code available underneath the widget, but the code there seems to be the widget code.

    I also want a 3rd event, as I want Past Events displayed as a calendar, Todays Events as a list and Future events back to calendar. So looks like I need a third widget generated.

    Will be appreciative of any help you can provide.
     Thanks…Don
36. Joe Dolson; June 14, 2010 at 1:08 pm

    @Adam I’ll check into that and make an update when I have an answer for you. Thanks.
37. Adam; June 14, 2010 at 7:16 am

    Hi Joe,

    lovely plugin, a lot of of options…, just this one
    [my_calendar_today category=”whatever”] gives me an error

    “Call to undefined function my_calendar_today_events() in ../../../my-calendar.php on line 312 ???

    Any suggestions, THX in advance,

    Adam
38. Ana; June 7, 2010 at 8:53 pm

    My calendar is at “Eventos próximos”.
39. Ana; June 7, 2010 at 8:51 pm

    Hi!!!! okok
    I have a problem with “my calendar”. Please look at my web: http://www.orientacionholistica.com.mx/wordpress

    Here there is a calendar, but I cant see graphic calendar. It has not link!!!

    (Sorry… I dont speak english very well!!!)

    Can you give me your mail please??
    My mail is ana.comunikas@gmail.com. Im from Mexico =)

    Thanks!!
40. Joe Dolson; June 7, 2010 at 1:00 pm

    I’m sorry! I don’t speak Spanish. We can try to work through automated translations, I suppose, although those are rarely effective.

    ¡Lo siento! No hablo español. Podemos tratar de trabajar a través de traducciones automáticas, supongo, aunque los que rara vez son eficaces.
41. Ana; June 6, 2010 at 8:15 pm

    Hi! Do you speak spanish? =) I have a problem with “My calendar” =(
42. Ana; June 6, 2010 at 8:00 pm

    Hola!!!!! Cómo hago para activar el modo calendario y no de lista???
43. Bryan; May 26, 2010 at 6:07 pm

    Thanks for the quick response Joe!

    Unfortunately, my client doesn’t like the look with the javascript off, so I am not quite sure what I am going to do. I suppose I will have to search for another solution until you have time to integrate the functionality.

    I think it looks fine, but they are paying the bill.

    Thanks again, and continue the great work!

    Kind regards,
     Bryan
44. Joe Dolson; May 26, 2010 at 10:57 am

    @Bryan At the moment, that’s not possible - it’s coming, but not there yet. However, with a calendar as small as yours, you may actually be best off to simply disable the list javascript — this way, you’d be able to see the full description for all your events.

    The shortcodes are only valid for widgets, at the moment.
45. Bryan; May 26, 2010 at 10:29 am

    Hi Joe,

    Awesome plugin! When I get back to work (been laid off for close to a year), I plan on making a worthwhile donation.

    I have customized the calendar to my taste, but have a quick question. If you look at the calendar at http://www.teamster773.org/calendar-of-events, I would like to add the event name somewhere next to or underneath the dates, so it shows a bit more information.

    I have tried a few shortcodes to no avail, and am curious if this is possible. If I can get that piece working, I will be ecstatic!

    Thanks again for your talents and sacrifice to design a quality plugin.

    Kind Regards,
    Bryan J Zimmerman
46. Joe Dolson; May 14, 2010 at 9:00 am

    Can you tell me what’s on line 944 of my-calendar.php in your file? That error should be cropping up everywhere if it’s actually there, but it could be that you simply have a corrupted or incomplete copy.
47. cie; May 13, 2010 at 9:55 pm

    Hi, I´ve been trying to install the plugin but I get this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/homepage/ftpwim/wp-content/plugins/my-calendar/my-calendar.php on line 944

    Can you help me?
48. Sommer C.; May 12, 2010 at 10:03 am

    That was fast - thanks! Now I have other feature ideas/requests to go post.
49. Joe Dolson; May 12, 2010 at 9:52 am

    Just added a couple other views to this page; there’s no method to toggle between views, although that’s not a bad idea to add in the future.
50. Sommer C.; May 12, 2010 at 9:46 am

    Is there a way for the end user to toggle from calendar to list view? If not, do you have a sample of the list view?
