Calendar Category Issue

[Anonymous]

These four shortcodes work as expected:

[events_calendar full=1 long_events=1 category=1]

[events_calendar full=1 long_events=1 category=2]

[events_calendar full=1 long_events=1 category=3]

[events_calendar full=1 long_events=1 category=4]

However, this one displays an empty calendar with no events:

[events_calendar full=1 long_events=1 category=1,2,3,4]

Am I doing something wrong?

I just tried it here and it seems to work just fine. Can you check in the non-rich html editor wether or not the content of your page contains weird characters between “[” and “]”?

That doesn’t seem to be the problem. I disabled the visual editor in my WP profile, deleted and retyped the malfunctioning shortcode, and had the same problem.

Though I haven’t looked at your code to verify what seems to be happening, I have learned more about it. I am testing EME on a new, off-line website I am developing, which gives me the freedom to experimentally change anything. I had deleted all category 1 events, but still had category 2,3 & 4 events when I tried:

[events_calendar full=1 long_events=1 category=1,2,3,4]

I just found that this works under that conditon:

[events_calendar full=1 long_events=1 category=2,3,4]

I also found that this works if I enter one of more category 1 events:

[events_calendar full=1 long_events=1 category=1,2,3,4]

EME seems to give up and not look for category 2,3 or 4 events if no category 1 events are found.

That doesn’t happen with the events_list shortcode. This works fine without any category 1 events:

[events_list scope=future limit=0 period=daily paging=1 category=1,2,3,4]

Well, the code seems ok, but now I have something to test this weekend 🙂

I don’t know whether it might be relevant, but I am using PHP 5.2.14, because I am developing the site on an old Windows 2000 server and 5.3.x requires Windows XP or later.

The database is mysql 5.0.91.

The web server is Apache 2.2.17.

EME is 3.2.11 running under WP 3.0.3.

Well, I tried with a category with no events and for the rest categories with events: no problem.

So 2 things here:

– you can send me a mysql dump of the wp_dbem_* tables for me to try out

– give me some admin access to try at your site

– try the latest dev version: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/events-manager-extended.zip (some things did change here …)

Thanks for the testing, Franky. We can do any or all those. However, I came down with a bad cold this afternoon and feel terrible tonight. I will send you an email when I am feeling a little.

I obviously intended to write “when I am feeling a little (better).”

I am feeling better and just upgraded to EME 3.2.12 which fixed the problem.

Thanks for the continual stream of improvements.

nice to hear you feel better and the problem was solved 🙂
