WP Event Calendar / Scheduler, remove character limits

Discontinued products Scheduler for Joomla and WP
#1

Hi all, great add on! I’m new (ish) to all of this WP stuff and so please bear with me and thanks in advance for your help. I am trying to create an event reference tool at my site using the above add on. I’ve pretty managed to adapt it to meet my needs, and so each post made (I’m uploading in bulk using CSV importer) is displayed within the calendar. You can then click on the post and it brings up some details.
The prob I’m having is as follows:

The CSV Importer imports the post, and files it into the appropriate categories so I can later set up a search by category so my users can check out venues/ genre etc. All good.

I check the post, and the data from the csv importer is all there present and correct.
The problem is that the post title is displayed within the lightbox (Is that what you call the little box which pops up when you click on an event listed within the calendar?) but it is displayed as part of the post and not as the title.
The post content isn’t displayed at all.
Where do I go to sort this out?

If anybody may have an idea as to where to go and what I need to edit (and with what!) when I get there, I would be VERY grateful for a pointer!

I would also like to ensure that there are no character limits in place, it seems there may be as there is often something missing from the end of the text in the title section of that pop up box.

Other useful info:
Using firefox (Have not been testing site in IE but will do later when nearer to finishing)
Using Windows 7
Wordpress
I’ve edited style using the skin builder provided at the site
I’ve also edited the times so they don’t appear in the calendar or in the lightbox pop up thingy, by editing DHTMLXSCHEDULRECONFIGURATOR.php doc. The reason I did this is that the time was uploading as the time it had been uploaded to WP, (would confuse users) not the time the event was taking place. This data is included in post anyhow so I don’t need it.

I will cross my fingers that someone can help!

KEY POINTS NEEDED:
Amend character limits in title and post
Address issue of post title only appearing in event, not post data.

Many thanks

Hi.
Could you provide link or maybe screenshots to understand better what do you mean?
Are you using “Show blog posts as events” option?

Hi there thanks for getting back to me.
Yes I am using blogs as posts, and the site was offline but I’ve opened it up so you can have a look, domain is as follows:
xyzmagazine.co.uk/Eventsguide
I’ll keep an eye out for your reply.
Many thanks!

Screen shot 1 shows the main calendar, all good,managed to remove the time etc so it’s only event listings from title of post

Screen shot 2 shows how when you click on one of the events the post title space is empty and the title data is where i would expect to see post content (or am i wrong?)

Screen 3 shows that it’s not always empty, here is an example on ADAM ANT May 16th, which isn’t empty

I’m on standby in case you need more info!
Many many thanks!

To decide problem with characters limit go in administration panel and modify template like here:

event_bar_text:function(start,end,ev){
   return ev.text;
}

What about post content - plugin works probably. It shouldn’t show post content, just post name.

Thanks I will check that out and hopefully I can sort that so the title appears in full.
Does it look to you like that’s the prob then? And is that code amend on the doc scheduler.php? I’ll prob amend using crimson editor and reupload into file.

Ohooo right nothing from the post, so should it link through to read the post then, for more info about the event? Or is it just the title (post name) it shows?

To show link to the original article you may modify option event_bar_text:

return "<a href='" + event.guid + "' target='blank'>" + event.text + '</a>';
