My Calendar Plugin & Multidates

Post by Collectonian »

I run an anime/manga blog and I'd like to put a list of the various conventions held annually in the side bar. All of these conferences are multi-day events, though, and My Calendar only lets me put in the start date. Is there another plugin that would allow for a span of dates, or is there a modification available for My Calendar? I tried searching the forums but didn't see any posts about this issue yet.

Also, what determines which events are displayed? I put in 4 events, but only two are showing up, one that's set in 2007. The two events not showing up are scheduled between the two that are.

Hi!

Sadly a from-to date is not yet implemented. You could maybe add the ending date somewhere in the description of the event?

The SQL query displays all calendar events ordered by their date, and skips items that are older than the timeout you configured in the plugin...

If you could give me a SQL dump of your mycalendar DB table and show me a screenshot of the configuration of the plugin I could try to reproduce why a specific event is being hidden...

Best regards,
Garvin

I figured out the problem on the events...I didn't realize the entry screen was configured such that you have to put day.month.year instead of the other way around.

For a future version, it might be good to note that somewhere :wink:
