Your opinion interests me!
Just a small question.
This to forget nothing of options to be managed.
In the form of events there is a list of types of events.
This list will obviously be the subject of a personalized treatment bye the user. But there is also two others lists in the management of events: the phase and the participation.
For the phases we have:
For the participations we have:
For these two lists, elements seems to me finished. But I have a doubt however.
Then my question is simple: Do you see other possibilities of elements for one of these two lists or for both? And indeed, is it necessary to envisage a management for every of these lists so that the user adds to it his own elements?
And about , here is the new logo created by Coe for Events-Calendar :
How do you find it?
Where could I put it in my blog page? The best position in the theme for you ?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Shouldn’t the “event type” simply be the category of WP ?
Benjamin
Hello Benjamin,
The types are, for the events, what are the categories, for the posts in WP. We use the word “type” to avoid confusion with the categories of WP.
Posts and events are two types of informations very differrent. I do not think it was a good idea to confuse their categories. This list of types of events will allow us for sorting and filtering. Category management of WP is not very suitable for this
Ok, good to hear. Remember, if you need some bêta testers, i’m available for you
By the way, will there be filtering on the front-end ?
Yes Benjamin, but not only
If you wanna be a beta tester look at my new page “We need you!”. And send me an email
By the way,
Does that mean that we could add events to a regular wordpress with a lot of articles, and that everything won’t be mixed together in the loop ?
Benjamin
For my own purposes, I envision using event types that are distinct from the WP categories in use on the site.
Personally I don’t anticipate using either the phase or participation options, and I will probably try to remove them from the add/edit event form to keep it as simple as possible for the user.
Hello Benjamin,
No there will always be a single article related to a single event. I do not see the others and what would be the mess in the loop!
Dear Stewart,
It is quite that. The types of events will normally not related to the categories of WP. The types of events in the screenshot are examples. The user can enter those he wants.
To go without types of events it is also to go without functions of filtration and research in the front-end. To make use easier there will always be the possibility of leaving “No event types” in creation. To add an option to allow or not the management of type would make me add another option and, believe me, there are already enough options like that!
Best Regards
I am unable to ad event types…
Well at least ones that stay.
Hi Heirem,
Just to clarify, I am looking forward to using event types, just not the phase/participation options. As far as removing them, what I have done in the current version is to use CSS to hide the input fields that I don’t want to present to users (namely, event visibility and the create-post-for-event option). I had to tag some table rows in order to get the functionality I wanted:
<tr class="visibilityRow"><th width="33%" scope="row" valign="center" style="text-align:right;"><label for="endTime"></label> </th> (...and so on...)
And then in my theme’s CSS I added
.addEventForm tr.visibilityRow {display: none;
}
I think this makes for a nice balance, allowing a lot of customization for those willing to edit the CSS but without cluttering the admin UI with options that few people are interested in.
One of the event types should be ‘online’ … for non-live events, such as virtual conferences, webinars, and the like. The location would be a URL.
