Weird Cut-Off Button

I’ve noticed an issue with this plugin that I feel should be addressed. In my particular case, I am using the widget in a very narrow column (using a theme that has 3 columns) and at the top of the calendar, next to the current month, there is apparently a disabled button that reads “Today”. It looks sloppy and really shouldn’t be there.

Any help removing this would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s a link to an image of the problem, from a recent screen shot.

Of course I cannot add the photobucket link here because that would make problem solving helpful. Thanks ww.wp.xz.cn. 😉

Yes, you can add a link here – just paste the code (no need to use the link button, though that does work too).

Also fixed the link in your OP :).

I wonder why it didn’t work the first time I used it then? I used the link button. I figured it was just blocked out.

A temporary fix to the problem, for anyone else who discovers this, is to change line 691 in ajax-event-calendar.php to remove “today”. Apparently this line has 3 words, prev,next, today and these are used to generate the nav buttons which show up when you use this as a widget. In my case, the TODAY nav-button (which is disabled but still appears) was being cut off. By removing “today” from that line of code and leaving the rest, my problem is solved for now.

Of course, any updates to this plugin will overwrite it. I don’t have time to dig further into this plugin to fix this in a better way. Hopefully the original developer will realize this is an issue that should be resolved.

One nice solution would be to have the widget do something different with that nav area dependent on the width of the widget column.

I am not marking this as resolved because it really isn’t. There is an issue with the nav area on small width columns. My fix is not the preferred solution.
