Events plugin

[MrDoom]

I installed the events plugin but it doesn't seem to want to show my events.

This is the microformat code I entered:

Code: Select all

<events>
<event summary="Games Grads 08" location="Manchester" url="http://www.gamesgrads.co.uk/" dtstart="20080429T1100" dtend="20080429T1630" />
<event summary="Download Festival 2008" location="Donington Park" url="http://downloadfestival.co.uk/home/" dtstart="20080613T0001" dtend="20080615T2359" />
<event summary="Midlands MCM Expo" location="International Centre Telford" url="http://www.mcmexpo.net/midlandsmcmexpo/index.html" dtstart="20080913T1100" dtend="20080913T1700" />
</events>

But nothing shows up, it doesn't even work with the example code.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi!

Which events plugin are you referring to? serendipity_event_mycalendar? serendipity_event_microformats?

Which PHP version are you using, does it have "--with-xml" enabled properly?

Which events plugin are you referring to? serendipity_event_mycalendar? serendipity_event_microformats?

Dunno, all it's called in my admin panel is "events" but I think I called it that.

The two eventy sounding plugins I have are "serendipity_event_microformats" and "serendipity_plugin_eventwrapper".

Which PHP version are you using, does it have "--with-xml" enabled properly?

PHP 4.4.4 and yes.

If it helps, this is the description for the plugin:

Display upcoming and recommended events in the sidebar and apply the hCalendar microformat to them.

So no-one knows?

I think there is something wrong with the "serendipity_event_microformats" plugin since I get this warning from PHP when adding an article.

Warning: Wrong parameter count for range() in /blog/plugins/serendipity_event_microformats/serendipity_event_microformats.php on line 249

I have tried re-downloading the plugin from this site and re-uploading it replacing the original but the message still appears.

Hi!

I'll try to nudge mattsches into this direction. But I believe that he has created a new version of the plugin that completely replaces the old one.

Hey MrDoom,

I think it's got something to do with your PHP version. The behavior of the range() function changed in PHP5, this is a bug that has been reported before, sorry. I'm about to commit an update to this plugin within the next weeks - however, it will then unconditionally require PHP5.

One thing you can try to do now is change the code in serendipity_event_microformats.php, line 249 from

Code: Select all

$ratings    = array('hReview' => range(1.0, $this->get_config('best'), $this->get_config('step')));

to

Code: Select all

$ratings    = array('hReview' => range(1.0, $this->get_config('best')));

Hope that helps

Hmm, that fixed the warning message but I still don't see any events.

I also get two more warnings when previewing a post:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /blog/plugins/serendipity_event_microformats/serendipity_event_microformats.php on line 128

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /blog/plugins/serendipity_event_microformats/serendipity_event_microformats.php on line 233

If it's too much trouble to fix those on PHP4, my host should be upgrading to PHP5 soon so I can use your new version then.

[mattsches]

I think that would be the best way to go, sorry. However, the new version will not present events in the sidebar. If that's what you want, please tell me, and I will try to take that into account for the next update

I've already got sth. like that up and running on my blog (right sidebar, scroll down), but these events are fetched from external services like upcoming.org or last.fm events.

Yeah, that's kind what I was hoping to use it for. If you could incorporate that into the release, that would be great. Thanks
