Problem with link from My Calendar plugin

[leavesofjoy]

Greetings,
I'm having some trouble with the links I create for the My Calendar plugin.

I want to list trade shows I am at, by date. So, I used the My Calendar configuration to enter a date and a web address in the "Possible link to an URL for this" box.

The problem is, that when I then go to the blog page and click on that link, the address is not right.

So, I put in an address like:
"www.tradeshow.com" but when you click on the My Calendar entry, the link that it tries to go to is "http://blog.mywebaddress.com/www.tradeshow.com"
So, it adds the address of my blog in front of the trade show site address, instead of just linking to the trade show site.

What am I missing here? Do I need a different plug in, or just a fix of this one? I installed it from within my Serendipity Admin.

If you like, my blog is at:
http://blog.al-qemi.com/
and the My Calendar section in the sidebar is titled Show & Event Schedule. The other links in the sidebar, like the My Links I added with a plugin, work just fine.

Thanks,

I've just installed the my calendar on my test server and looking at the way it works you may need to use a fully formatted url, eg

Code: Select all

http://www.yourlink.here

Try that and let me know if it works,
