Events Made Easy support

Support for the wordpress Events Made Easy plugin

   The text in the map bubble is displayed incorrectly. For example, it shows up as:
   

   g>Michiga
   U
   io
   g>
   530 South State
   A
   
   Arbor, MI

   Looking at the HTML, it is clear that tags got interrupted somehow:
   <stro<br>g>Michiga<br> U<br>io<br></stro<br>

   However, my formatting seems to be correct:
   <strong>#_NAME</strong><br/>#_ADDRESS<br/>#_TOWN

   Furthermore, the bubble displays perfectly fine if I deactivate the Extended plugin and reactivate the original modified Events Manager plugin.

   You can see the issues I am having here: http://wmlwl.com/events

   (I moved the post)
   Everything seems correct to me .... maybe something with the "\n" replacement has gone wrong and it replaces just the "n" with "<br \>".
   Let me check the code.

   Question: do you have magic_quotes_gpc activated in your php.ini file?

   I'm on shared hosting so I don't think I am able to check :-/

   EDIT: Found it in PHPInfo. Yes, it is enabled. (magic_quotes_gpc On)

   Hmmm ... I tried it here with gpc on as well, no change. Could you check how it is stored in the database?

   It's fine in the database.

   However, I identified the source of the problem. I deleted and reinstalled the plugin and the text showed up fine. When I went to the dbem_locations.php file in the plugin editor to make the text black and enlarge the map to 670px width, it resulted in the messed up formatting. Oddly, when I changed back the values that I had modified, the text bubble was still messed up.

   Any idea why this is happening? I really do need to change the text to black and enlarge the map (which worked properly on the modified original plugin).

   I am unable to use CSS to apply the change because you use div id's, being dbem-location-map_# and there are no wildcards in CSS. It would be possible if you used a div class instead, or at least a combination. Perhaps something like <div class="dbem-location-map" id="dbem-location-map_15">.

   EDIT: btw it messed up whether I change one or both of the attributes (i.e. color, size)

   Well, I'm just finishing up implementing google maps api v3, and also took into account extra div's for resizing the whole thing using CSS.
   This will be in there:
   .dbem-location-map {
   background: green;
   width: 400px;
   height: 300px;
   max-width: none;
   background: none !important;
   }
   .dbem-location-balloon {
   font-size: 85%;
   height: 100px;
   }

   And I'll include an extra CSS call so people are able to override the defaults in a seperate CSS file that doesn't get overwritten with updates.

    Well, I think I'm about ready for release. If you want to testdrive, I can explain how to get the code if you want?

    Ok, get the trunk code from here via svn:
    http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/events-manager-extended/trunk/

    in the readme.txt file, search for "myown.css" for howto override the default css
    It also uses google maps api v3, so no more IE6 support ...

    Awesome, works great!

    EDIT: noticed that the text in the bubbles is a lot smaller than before, and no longer takes on the attributes I applied in the settings (namely <strong>)

    Hmm .. can you give an example of that? It is smaller because the css tells the balloon text size to be at 85%, because I want to avoid scrollbars and google api v3 is quite tricky with those. You can always try to change it if you want (see .dbem-location-balloon in events_manager.css)

    btw: I just tried <strong> in my balloon format settings, and they are accepted without problems. Maybe you override these with your CSS?

    Ahh yeah it was the text size. The text looked like it was not bold due to the smaller size. I changed it back to 100% and it looks normal.

    So, for the rest this seems ok to you? Then I can maybe go live with this release (once I removed the GMAP API Key comments, since this is no longer needed now)
